Having shown several interesting storylines at the very beginning, the authors did not manage to weave them together, nor to bring at least one of them to the end. As a result, a movie came out, an interesting first 15 minutes, and then a dull, sad and meaningless spectacle. Translated to English
Watched
The victim of bullying is helped by a random maniac until she finally fights him back. The film did not cause any reaction in me – I think it was necessary to delve deeper into family relationships and go into ultra-violence. And it’s so bland, there’s not enough spice. Translated to English
Watched
A meaty Spanish horror in which lard replaces thought (according to the behests of Piero Paolo Pasolini). I’m a little sorry I watched it. But I’m glad I tried it Translated to English
