Designer1 Posted June 1 VT Supporter Share Posted June 1 (edited) Enjoyed this one tonight... Interesting take on the 'descent into madness' story, with Aisling Franciosi giving a good performance as a Stop Motion animator increasingly struggling to separate fantasy and reality with often bloody and unsettling consequences. Good stuff. Edited June 1 by Designer1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Just watched the first omen. Very very good. Thought it was going to be lame but very good. They should have done this is as a remake as now they cant really go anywhere else with it after the first three omen films. Only thing they could do is a omen between the films 2 and 3 as he was a youngster in 2 and a grown adult in 3. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 3 VT Supporter Share Posted June 3 I attended my first ever film festival last weekend (25th/26th May) It's only a small one, held in my mom's home town in Ireland. The Fastnet Film Festival. Purely coincidental, my trip was planned before I realised the festival was on. Didn't manage to see as much as I'd have liked due to having a 2 year old, but still got to do a fair bit. During the day they mostly showed short films. you just popped along for an hour and they'd show 4 or 5 short films. All free. So I did two of those sessions. Then in the evening and during the day on Sunday they showed more feature length films. So I managed to see Evil Dead Rise (their theme this year was horror) and Bloody Sunday, followed by an hour's Q&A with James Nesbitt Had a really great time, just wish I could have spent more time exploring it. West Cork is a bit of a quirk in that it's a very small, rural place but has quite a lot of celebrity residents (or second home residents). So people like Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones were there, Greg Dyke hosted the Q&A with Nesbitt. Graham Norton has been at the festival before, Adrian Dunbar, people like that. Really cool, I'll be trying to go again next year and hopefully spend more time watching movies! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoided a lot of the usual coming of age tropes. The director also made the brilliant Fish Tank and Red Road which I thought were superior films.

sne Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) Hopefully it'll be good. Agree that the camera angle being quite low in many shots makes the corridors and rooms look bigger which means it loses some of that claustrophobic feel the original movie had which is a shame. This seem to use the Evil Dead camera angle while the old Alien movie had the camera more at shoulder height. Edited June 4 by sne 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks better than the Ridley Scott prequels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
