South Park: Doubling Down (2017)
Funny, clever... and EMOTIONAL
South Park is back! It has always been funny, outrageous, gory, rude and always very clever. But now it is also emotional. One of the best episode in South Park history, super funny, deep and real. Heidi and Cartman's love-story is playing a major role in this series and it is affecting me a lot. The reaction of Cartman going through a break up is exactly how you would imagine, but so far we have never seen him under this circumstance.
The Visit (2015)
Say whatever you want about M. Night Shyamalan... but THE VISIT is a great horror film!
OK, probably not the best picture of M. Night Shyamalan but it is a great film. People has to consider that they are watching a Horror film despite who is directing it.
The visit contains all the elements essentials in a low budget horror film: two scary characters also mysterious & unpredictable, a house in the middle of nowhere, spooky moments, blood, suspense, a grotesque humour Raimi's like and a nice twist.
The movie introduces a new concept of fear, imagine how many kids would be traumatised after watching it. Imagine how many kids will refuse to go to their grandparents during the week end. I find the formula of this picture simple, genius and highly effective. The behaviour of these two old characters is never too extreme or paranormal,the fact that they were extremely realistic and never banal or over the top allows the audience (or simply me) to find spooky even just a smile from Nana.
I like how throughout the movie you get to learn more about the main characters and start liking them (kind of, those two kids and their mom are at pretty annoying and not appealing at all). All that drama about the past of Tyler & Becca and their relationship with their father is well constructed, it helps unfold the characters, but it is just not interesting... It would have been nicer to find out more about the past of Nana and Pop Pop.
It is a great Horror, that like every other horrors should be watched alone at night to fully enjoyed. Some scenes scared the s**** out of me, and that was a great joy.
