Giallo seems to have shifted over to a new sub-genre called Neo-Giallo, but Sonno Profondo is a love letter to the older giallos. However, it's told from a slightly different perspective; from the killer's POV. Doesn't seem like a drastic change from the norm, but for we literally see the movie through the killer's POV as he becomes the prey after killing a girl. It makes for some interesting cinematography, but since the killer is always wearing leather gloves, it can come off as a farce from time to time. The director went into making the film with no script, but had a clear idea of what he wanted to do. You could say it's zen filmmaking-esque, which I typically dislike, but this film is coherent. For the most part. I was occasionally confused, but at least this had a very stylish color correction and a matching soundtrack. It was clear the director had a love for the genre and wanted to make something he would watch rather than product. #nowwatching #nowplaying #sonnoprofondo #deepsleep #lucianoonetti #daianagarcia #silviaduhalde #brinkvision #guantenegrofilms #horror #thriller #giallo #dvd #dvdcollection #moviereview #filmreview #cinephile #2013 #goonreviewssonnoprofondo

It takes a really good writer to make the main character be sympathetic for the entire movie, even after she murders nearly everyone in her senior class. I have to admit that it took me until this viewing to understand that she was hallucinating everyone laughing because she finally snapped. The whole movie,she's been mistreated, right from the opening. You really feel bad for Carrie and when one of the girls realizes she was mean and wants to get nice, you feel like things could be okay for her. Unfortunately, Carrie's mother is a religiously insane person, who later admits to hating her daughter while she was in the womb. That's about half the movie. The other half is Nancy Allen from Robocop scheming the ultimate prom prank against Carrie when she isn't blowing John Travolta. Sissy Spacek has one of my favorite performances, because all I can see is poor Carrie who probably has never had a nice, normal day in her life. My only complaint is sometimes shots linger on or scenes like the girls in gym class could have been cut in favor of showing Carrie come to understand her powers. That part is so underplayed, you almost forget it's part of the film, but I guess that's what they were going for. #nowwatching #nowplaying #carrie #sissyspacek #nancyallen #briandepalma #piperlaurie #johntravolta #unitedartists #screamfactory #horror #bluray #bluraycollection #moviereview #filmreview #cinephile #1976 #goonreviewscarrie

To be completely honest, I had a really hard time paying attention to this movie. A lot of the line delivery felt monotone and it was lit for color but converted to black and white, so it didn't look properly. It looked kinda uninteresting, but I could tell that it's not a poorly made movie. From what I could gather, it was about a family that couldn't leave their house for whatever reason and we're renting out a room. Each one was kind of a weirdo in their own way, like a toned down version of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre family. I'm not sure, but I think there was necrophilia at one point? Like I said, I was zoning in and out of this one pretty bad. I could tell that there was some talent here. The acting wasn't bad for the most part and the cinematography wasn't terrible either. This is from the same director as The Disco Exorcist, so he's very capable of capturing different tones, this just wasn't my cup of tea. #nowwatching #nowplaying #exhumed #richardgriffin #debbierochon #sarahnicklin #michaelreed #evalenamarie #scorpiofilmreleasing #wildeyereleasing #horror #drama #dvd #dvdcollection #moviereview #filmreview #cinephile #2011 #goonreviewsexhumed
