Panašu, kad bus ką žiūrėt. Be abejonės vėl pademonstruos klasę Dario Argento, John Carpenter, Stuart Gordon, Tobe Hooper ir Peter Medak (tikiuos, Changeling tai stiprus buvo). Gal pavyks ir Brad Anderson, Mick Garris, Tom Holland , Norio Tsuruta kažką padoresnio, žiūrimo išspaust. Na o iš Joe Dante, Ernest Dickerson , John Landis, Rob Schmidt nelabai ko ir besitikiu, galėjo vietoj jų geresnių režisierių parinkt. Pirmam sezonui šitas neturėtų nusileist.

Pažiūrėjau pirmą episodą “The Damned Thing” (rež. Tobe Hooper). Didesnio įspūdžio nepaliko, siužete kažko naujo nepastebėjau. Su nufilmavimu, parinkta muzika, gore scenomis viskas gerai, tik pastarųjų galėjo būt žymiai daugiau. Pirmo sezono Hooperio darbas labiau įstrigo.

Family(rež. John Landis) - va, šitas tai nustebino. Nesitikėjau tokio filmo iš jo. Puikiai suderintos tokios detalės kaip gore, humoras, psycho, kerštas. Vien pirmas epizodas ko vertas :).

The V Word (rež. Ernest R. Dickerson) - tenegeriškas filmas su išskirtiniu tokios kategorijos filmų siužetu. Pusę velnio.

Sounds Like (rež. Brad Anderson) - visas filmas labiau primena gal sci-fi žanrą, tik pabaiga taip neblogai horroriškai kala. Režisūra, soundas aukštam lygyje.

Pro-Life (rež. J.Carpenter) - šįkart Carpenteris gavo ar pasirinko ne tokį įspūdingą siužetą, kaip pirmam sezone, bet išspaudė turbūt maximumą. Tema ne kartą naudotą horror, sci-fi filmuose, bet viskas padaryta taip, kad visai nenuobodžiauji žiūrėdamas. Ir pabaiga gan neįprastai sudėliota.

Siūlyčiau originalo žiūrėti, nes bet koks vertimas smarkiai subjauroja filmą. Išverčiama pusę žodžių neteisingai ar netaisiklyngai, o dar balsas išvis klaikus. :)

pilnai tikiu, kad nieko ypatingo. Vienintelis žinomas režisieriaus filmas "Wrong turn" ir nemažai pasako :)

Pelts - va, geriausias iš šešių matytų S2 serijų. Pirmiausiai - surinkta gera, sena komanda - rež. Dario Argento, muzika sukūrė legendinis Claudio Simonetti (vienas iš Goblins), suvaidino storulis Meat Loaf (labai pravertė jo vaidmeniui nukarusi oda), jau senas John Saxon (Tenebre, Enter the Dragon). Viskas padaryta įprastu Argento stilium. Spalvų gamos, smulkios detalės, ypatinga atmosfera persipina su Simonečio muzika ir viskas, savo laiku aptaškoma dideliu kiekiu kraujo trykštančio iš exliuzyvinių suicidų :).

The Screwfly Solution - Joe Dante nėra horror režisierius ir tai jis dar kartą įrodė. Filmas labiau neša į tipiškas sci-fi. Siužeto ašis - vyriškąją žmonijos dalį užpuoles virusas, pasireiškiantis poreikiu žudyti moteris. Visas horror turbūt ir laikomas tas moteriškos lyties naikinimas. Nėra blogai, bet įspūdžio nepalieka. Dar galėsime su malonumu prisiminti didžiąja paauglių serialo "Beverly hills 90..." superžvaigždę Jason Priestley :).

The Black Cat - seip man tokio laikmecio filmai dazniausiai buna vidutiniski arba blogesni, taciau si serija gan patiko. Visa laika kaizkaip labai niuru buvo, gal isijautes buvau, nuotaika niuri tokia, pabaiga patiko. Norejau tokios pabaigos, bet tikrai nemaniau kad taip ir baigsis, isties galas nusviete labai nuotaika. Galvojau jei baigs taip niuriai tai neturesiu nuotaikos po filmo ka nors daryt, taciau po filmo jauciau tarsi ikvepima. Man isties pasirode nebloga serija, gal del isijautimo, net nezinau. :)

Masters Of Horro - The Washingtonians (2x12) - na ka, istorija apie hanibalus. Kazkaip atrodo, kad neįtilpo į tą 1h , nes pabaiga labai greit ateina. Ta prasme pabaiga galejo buti zymiai ilgesne, bet del laiko stokos labai juokinga man pasirode. Lyg iš dangaus nukrito tie 3 automatais gingluoti, apsišarvavę vyrukai. Kazkaip atmosfrera sujaukė labai. Juk pasakojo apie Washingt'oną, ta prasme senuosius laikus, ir staiga 21 amziaus ginkluotas dalinys įsiveržia kaip iš niekur.

Na nžn, man pabaiga tikrai nlb patiko.

O šeip bendrai vertinant, tai gal vidutiniska serija 6 ar 5/10...
