Before the first American remake of Ju - On was released in 2003, I would often be heard referring to it as «The Drudgery», describing what a chore it would be to sit through another vacuous
horror mood piece.
Not exact matches
«Starry Eyes» is as gory as it is corrosively cynical, a supernatural
mood piece that's equally influenced by the arthouse
horror movies of David Lynch and Roman Polanski, and the grindhouse - ready Satanic Panic films of the»70s, like «To the Devil a Daughter,» and «The Devil Rides out.»
«Without Name» wants to echo
mood horror pieces like those of Polanski or David Lynch but there's a reason that so few people make those kind of films — they're really hard to pull off.
Those looking for more traditional
horror scares and gore will be disappointed, but then that's clearly not the intention here; rather, it's to be more of a subtly eerie
mood piece, and on that level this modest picture works.
