Hellraiser (2022)
A proper return to form
I say it at beginning:
This is not a masterpiece.
This movie has its flaws.
But it's the best movie from at least 30 years. From at least from Hell on earth.
The "new" Cenobites are quite impressive, both as look than as characters.
The new Pinhead/Priest,even if it's on screen for few minutes,is quite remarkable.
The story isn't brilliant but it is good enough.
And it's not gory as some previous movie,but this is balance by the atmosphere and the constant sense of menace.
Overall a solid,good movie. I really hope that this opens to a new series of movies or a TV series with this kind of quality.
Press Play (2022)
Do you remember music cassette?
So at the beginning the story is (almost) pretty normal.
Laura,a talented painter,meet Harrison,who's working at a record store.
They fall in love, he teach her how to surf, she shows him her painting.
Pretty normal,right?
BUT.
Even if the movie is (apparently) set in present day, they star to make a mix tape.
Yep,that thing that we born before internet or mp3 used to do on music cassette.
They don't make a spotify playlist or something like that.
Nope,they record songs on a music cassette.
It's kind of weird but nice,i guess?
Well,that the "plot device" that the movie use.
Because when he tragically dies, she discover that when she listen to that mix tape she can travel trough time.
And she can try to save him.
I will not tell you where the movie goes from there,but you should know that it shows how time travel can mess up your ad others lives.
Overall a pretty good movie, not a masterpiece but a nice story with a lot of heart.
