Halloween is today and nothing better than horror/horror movies to put you in the mood, but this year we made a list of movies that aren’t really scary, but that are still extremely scary.
“Do we need to talk about Kevin? (Lynne Ramsay, 2012)
- “Do we need to talk about Kevin? Director Lynne Ramsay is labeled a dramatic thriller.
- But is there any doubt that it’s really a Halloween movie?Throughout this psychological trial.
- Ramsay creates an Impressionist nightmare that tells the story of a mother’s physical and physical problems.
- Moments of emotional reality before and after your child committed an unthinkable tragedy.
- Not only do we see the emotions of the mother.
- Tilda Swinton.
- Execute a range of emotions.
- We feel them in every shot and in every image.
- Ramsay composes sequences of terrible beauty and relentless realism (Swinton driving through the streets on Halloween with children in monster masks around him is a good example).
- And his disorienting montage allows the viewer to discover where the film takes place in time.
- “Kevin? will leave your images haunted and his atmosphere burned in his brain for days after Halloween.
“Martha Marcy May Marlene? (Sean Durkin, 2011)
Director Sean Durkin’s debut is a terrifying psychological journey with an excellent performance by Elizabeth Olsen to scare our Halloween. Similar to “Kevin,” “Martha?” It takes place, both in the past and in the present, telling the story of a young man The encounter of a woman with an abusive sect in the Catskill Mountains. The dissonant temporary interruptions (sometimes lasting only a few seconds) lure the viewer to Martha’s damaged mind, and suspense calmly builds its place in a more conventional way than horror movies could dream of. Sarah Paulson and John Hawkes do an excellent job of supporting Martha’s distant sister and the sinister sect leader, respectively, what is most amazing is Olsen’s ever-changing sense of fear and benthic paranoia. While the sect’s flashbacks are disgusting (the depiction of an initiation violation is not for the faint of heart), the current scenes are more tortuous as Martha’s journey to recovery creates too many anxiety attacks. becomes a Halloween movie of the scariest order.
? The shelter? (Jeff Nichols, 2011)
The shelter? Jeff Nichols may lack a narrative ambition that far outweighs the ambiguity he uses to describe the psychological calculation of his main character. Michael Shannon gives an unwavering performance as Curtis, a family man who slowly loses his mind, thanks to a series of apocalyptic nightmares. Shannon is so convincing and distressed in her performance that her nervous breakdown is a terrible descent to see, constantly wondering if Curtis really loses his mind or if there’s really something none of his compatriots can see. The vision gives the film an alarming hook, and the scenes in which he confronts his terrified wife (Jessica Chastain) are crippling knockouts. The highlight, in particular, is something I will never forget.
? The imposter? (Bart Layton, 2012)
Bart Layton’s documentary, a crime thriller? The Impostor is the true definition of a shock, the film not only delves into the true story of Frédéric Bourdin, who had a story of child identity theft and who was very successful in assuming the identity of a Texas boy, who had disappeared. at the age of 13 he recreated it with scenarios that had the aesthetics of a horror film. Bourdin beautifies his lie by claiming that he had been kidnapped for sexual abuse by Mexican, European and American soldiers, and although some facts (his age and accent, the main one) do not seem correct, the boy’s family hugs Bourdin as if he were his long-lost son, the results paint a devastating picture of the artifice of the mind that is simply unbelievable. Ideal for a Halloween session.
