No One Will Save You (2023)
There are two ways to comprehend this
From the beginning the viewer can understand that the character development would be deeper than one would have imagined for a movie of this genre. Her demons of the past were obvious 5 minutes into the movie.
In that sense I think that her journey was somewhat predictable as we all knew that she had done something terrible to her friend and the purpose of the movie stracture would be for her to have catharsis.
All in all, it was a journey of confronting her demons, fighting them, winning them but never seem to find closure as they kept coming for her. It was only after self acceptance and self forgiveness that she was able to move on and socialize again.
You can either see it as a huge allegory from start to finish or as an actual alien invasion. Either way the result is the same. Good movie, good pacing, amazing leading performance but somewhat weak third act due to the lack of dialogue.
The Conjuring 2 (2016)
As great as the first and SCARY AS HELL!
Whoever says that this sequel is not as good as the first film is LYING. It is so common for the sequels to be far worse than the originals that it has become a habit to the viewers to judge them without even noticing them. NOT this time!
Conjuring 2 is not just "not worse than the first". It is precisely as good as the first.
Great story, great acting, smart dialogues, smart jump scares, dark atmosphere. Everything you need in a horror film.
I liked the fact that the movie makes you care for the protagonists. Also, I loved the way it keeps you interested all the way throughout it. Never bored, never relaxed, always on guard. The quality of the movie is A+. James Wan's magic wand has done its miracle once more.
The trap of relying on the first movie's success has been avoided and that is because of Wan's love and dedication to his work.
It's about time that we become less harsh on good horror films and stop judging them for being what they are. They are horror films and we should judge them as that exactly. If i wanted to watch "The Godfather" or "Citizen Cane" I wouldn't be watching a horror film. STOP COMPARING HORROR FILMS WITH DRAMAS.
On the other hand, even with this type of judgment, this movie deserves a 9/10 BECAUSE IT'S A DAMN GOOD MOVIE.
Congratulations James Wan! You've done it again!
