Prey (2021)
Atmospheric dark tale and NOT AS BAD as all these 1star reviews
Ok, the story is been there, done that, but I really liked this movie and I completely don't understand all these negative reviews. Maybe Covid has affected people's opinions about liking films...
There are a lot of open questions indeedn, but this movie kept me thinking and trying to fill in the blanks and the many questions about the why and what. I really liked the part of Roman as a kind of underdog. The cinematography is very beautiful, the music is top notch. This would have been a great mini-series, with two or three more episodes to explain some loose ends. But all in all, for me, this was a fine German film!
Dead Awake (2010)
Beatiful little gem - mild spoilers
I was pleasantly surprised by this beautiful little film. It started very slowly and a bit confusing to me, but after a rather awkward and boring 10 minutes' start, I got sucked into the story and the revelation at the end may not have been very original (yes, there's a 'sense' of 'been there, done that') , still it was a suprise to me since I often felt misled about the twist throughout the movie.
People who expect bland horror and cheap scares are down for their trouble here. Instead, we get a great love story in a dark universe with an uncomfortable atmosphere.
I would certainly recommend this -slow- dark romance ghost story to anyone who wants something else than the overdone and brainless Marvel noise these days.
