Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

Intruders (2011)

Genre: Horror
Directed by: Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
Cast: Clive Owen, Carice von Houten, Ella Purnell
Running time: 100 minutes



A little boy and a teenage girl, both living in different countries, are both haunted at night by a dark creature called Hollow Face. What is the link between these two kids and who is this creature?

This Spanish film is meant to be a horror flick, but it fails miserably at being remotely scary. It is simply long, boring and painful to watch. There is a nice twist at the end that I did not expect, but the road there was so tough to endure that I did not care by that point. It is too bad, as I like Clive Owen as an actor, but his talent is poorly utilized here.

Pass!
