SEMI-DOCUMENTARY GRUESOME INDIE

B-horrors rarely managed to create the adequate atmosphere and the sense of realism due to their restricted budget, but original story about the family of demented mass murders buried deep into the American south isn’t of those failed scripts.

Although limited when it came to special effects and casting, „Texas chainsaw massacre” manages to persuade the viewer that those kind of maniacs really exists somewhere and that innocent people can get really hurt stumbling upon their home, as did the teenagers in the movie story.

„Texas chainsaw massacre” is one of the scarier horror movies and one of the more realistic ones as well.

FIRST ONE WAS BETTER

Tarantino tends to make long movie stories, so „Kill Bill” wasn't much of an exception. With the overall time of over four hours, the quality and tempo of the story winds down in the second part of the saga, lacking the great standoffs from the first one.

As for the directing, all the major elements are there also, with with a lesser level of hommage, the creativity of sequences will be slightly lower, not diminishing Quentin's raw talent behind the camera. The epic ending will be somewhat of a anticlimactic when compared to the overall rhythm of the script as well.

„Kill Bill vol.2” is a good movie, but slightly weaker than the first part.

FINEST HOLLYWOOD TRADITION

Even after all the recycling, rebooting and revamping, there is still quality in modern Hollywood. The problem is it is rare, hidden and non-commercial.

„Hell or high water” is one of those well balanced mixes of drama, action, comedy and social criticism that Hollywood used to send to box office in two decimal numbers per year, but nowadays does that only once or twice. Atmosphere of economy run down Texas is realy convincing as well as the musical background and acting. Jeff Bridges is just perfect as a mysogene ranger awaiting pension, Ben Foster is reliable as always, bringing the much needed humor to ease the situation down, and even Chris Pine tries his best to keep up with his well developed character. There will be no false American partiotism and pathetic will hold well inside the barriers of the acceptable until the western-like ending.

„Hell or high water” is one of those movies that made Hollywood and the ones it desperately needs right now.
