A Quiet Place - A quiet place
A Quiet Place will take you to a world where you don't have to make the slightest noise to survive. The protagonists are the members of a family, consisting of two parents and three youngest children. Our planet has been invaded by mysterious creatures, capable of hearing even the faintest of noises. This mandatory silence, however, is not so easy to maintain and, the youngest child, inevitably ends up in trouble. From that moment the real story will begin, given that the film takes us in the blink of an eye more than a year after that tragic accident. The couple has now started a new pregnancy, and this time they have no intention of losing the baby for any reason.
The Doll's House - Ghostland
This is without too many doubts the best horror movie of 2018, perfect to watch on halloween. The story is about three women attacked for no reason in a house, at night. The director highlights and reflects on the female body made object by ignoble beings, always oscillating between rationality and madness. The proposed themes are heavy, at times painful and able to make us reflect, halfway between drama and seriousness.
We
The plot of the film is set in the present day, takes place on the coast of Northern California. Adelaide Wilson is a woman who, together with her husband and two children, returns to her old house by the sea to spend a peaceful vacation. But the peace is ruined by some past traumas, slipping the woman into new paranoia and obsessions. After a busy day at the beach with their friends, Adelaide and her family return home. However, when darkness falls, the Wilsons see the silhouette of four figures holding hands on the driveway: these mysterious "beings" soon turn into their tormentors.
Run - Get Out
Get Out certainly has a political nature at its core, which it does not hide in the slightest right away. The two protagonists, a couple, are two young interracial yuppies, Chris and Armitage, with different skin colors. Love was born right away, and soon after, it was time for Chris to meet her family. The girl's father is a neo-colonial hunter, her mother a kind of parapsychiatrist, and her brother who suffers from severe anxiety attacks. A maid and a gardener, also black, are the accompaniment to this “happy” family. The film is unrest everywhere, dual, racial and generational tension. The first night of our stay, the lady of the house, all big eyes and good manners, hypnotizes Chris with a cup and a teaspoon. The next morning will be all a discovery for the boy.
Hereditary - The roots of evil
The last film that we recommend you to see on Halloween succeeds in making the audience think - and at the same time disturbing - the audience, especially in the hours following the viewing and thanks to the mastery with which its director manages to weave an apparently familiar picture. normal, but whose roots are rooted in an atavistic horror. Annie Graham, aka the protagonist, is an artist who became famous for her miniatures, and so her house is completely invaded by models of rooms, buildings and tiny representations of her life. Inside Annie there are dark secrets, her very existence is nothing but a game in the hands of something else.
