Original title: Country: Hong Kong Year: 2007 Directed by: Xavier Lee Pak-Tat
After helping a girl ghost accidentally found by the roadside, saving the child she was carrying, a television producer becomes a somewhat dissolute kind of star with the help of that ghost. Obviously the plans do not go as planned and will happen after the initial success of the sorts of things, including family dramas, with its almost our own. Dead Air is a film for granted, yet another echo of yet another girl who died a little disturbed that back with a vengeance. In this case, however, lack both the fearful effects that would make it less tedious the 80-minute video, is the psychological depth that would make them well-spent. A film on the verge of stupidity, with a few (very few) scenes hit, which is saved only by minor characters, entr'actes ironic and funny in a sea of \u200b\u200bmediocrity in terms of both recitative and visually. lacks suspense, the actors are inappropriate (the main character seems out of vogue more than a page from a cemetery) and low-impact, sustained over the top in an unequivocal manner. Special Effects elementary school, and poor insight in the use of lights and do not lay some technical tricks to his advantage.
Boring, predictable and of little interest. be avoided. Counseling in case of revenge!
For what mysterious reason this movie has been titled "Phobia" still eludes me. Five episodes completely unrelated to each other, with the usual fears that have almost nothing to do. I'd call it more of a handbook for the Buddhist obscure DIY, but first things first before you jump to conclusions (?!?). Novice part as a typical family drama: thug boy unconscious and causes motorcycle accident and is sent by his mother in a remote grove of fantasy in the midst of the monks a little unfriendly. Transformed into a novel small Buddha will meet his fate (which obviously is intertwined with the incident, the family and an improbable fantasy that has little of the spirit and much of the entity to Tolkien ..). Ward proposes less obvious, bringing the hospital into the nightmare par excellence (the gloomy atmosphere and a little "toilet" enough already, actually) of the sleepless night accanto ad un uomo in coma e alla sua famiglia di adepti poco inclini al dialogo. Anche qui protagonista è un ragazzino un po' troppo curioso che si troverà suo malgrado a incontrare un fato allegramente manomesso. Backpackers è forse l'episodio meno noioso, ma anche quello più dichiaratamente "occidentale": coppia di autostoppisti giapponesi raccolti da un camion sgangherato si ritrova nel bel mezzo di un incubo splatter zombie anfetaminico. Scontato, sicuramente, ma di forte impatto spettacolare. Salvage è probabilmente lo spezzone in grado di risollevare le sorti di una pellicola piuttosto deludente. Intensa e tragicamente verosimile, la storia di una donna accecata dal guadagno e dal successo negli affari che, costretta ad affrontare le proprie misfatte, perderà l'unica cosa a cui è veramente legata. Un finale da brivido. Infine In the middle . Se non fosse inserito in un film che tutto si propone tranne quello di parodiare il genere horror, sarebbe un geniale e divertente racconto dell'assurdo. Commedia degli equivoci, in tono hollywoodiano, con finale a sorpresa (più o meno..).
Phobia 2 è un titolo da non prendere troppo sul serio per almeno il 90% del tempo. Ridicolo, assurdo, mai veramente coinvolgente. Girato in puro stile accademico senza spunti originali o trovate che lo rendano degno di nota. Fallisce perfino nel titolo: avrei trovato molto più adatto un "Karma 2 - la vendetta", instead. The stories start slow, boring, predictable, and overflowing with cliches, falter in taking part .. but nonetheless they managed to entertain in the second half of the film. Agony two hours of perfectly avoidable, even if you have a good supply of popcorn and cola. bad for some interpreters, all in all very good. I do not dare to advise, I've seen worse, but not otherwise. Not a bad film: it is simply unavoidable.
