L’horror cinematic is experiencing a renaissance from a stylistic and theme point of view capable of not going unnoticed by lovers of the genre as well as occasional spectators. Today we offer you 5 horror films from recent years that are absolutely worth catching and perhaps even dedicating a second and third viewing to.
Between new directors and screenwriters capable of constructing a new horror imagery and the use of old and new techniques to awe the public, the 1910s witnessed a narrative trend determined to give a new dignity to a genre too often mistreated and considered of lower class.
To begin this analysis, we cannot help but start with an author who has ended up on everyone’s lips and appreciated by critics for his determination to give new life to horror, and from his first film, surprising and packaged to perfection.
Naturally we talk about Jordan Peele and of Get Out: the 2017 film, winner of the Oscar for best screenplay, is a perfect example of the new course we aim to tell. Mixing a very strong sense of tension with political and social themes that are frightening and terrible in their own way, the work with Daniel Kaluuya it deserves more than one viewing also thanks to a plot twist that makes us appreciate, in retrospect, all the details that we might have missed the first time. For those who want to delve deeper into the themes of the feature film, we offer you the review of Get Out.
Midsommarfor its part, without wanting to revolutionize any founding theme, fills a plot that is certainly not very original with the internal story of the characters and, in particular, of the protagonist, played by Florence Pugh. Ari Asterin this case, was very good at building a depth that allows viewers to empathize with the characters and understand more deeply what lies beneath the surface.
It’s a completely different story That house in the woods, by Drew Goddard: the film seems to begin and continue like the most classic of slashers with supernatural elements only to then take a different direction, especially in the unexpected ending. That House in the Woods, in this sense, seems to want to be a sort of parody of horror clichés while representing, at the same time, a starting point towards new paths to take.
The idea of taking new paths by exploiting classic elements is taken to a completely new and very important level by A Quiet Place: John Krasinski in this case is very good at managing an exceptional cast and telling a story full of threats and perfectly rendered also from a technical point of view.
Robert Eggers finally, he is another director and screenwriter who has become part of this new horror wave that is giving new joys and stimuli to the public: his second film, The Lighthouse, in particular, tells, with a graphic style with a strong impact, the events of two lighthouse keepers isolated on a small island and called to carry out their work while trying to maintain their sanity in a narrative that creates a mix its strong point is between psychological themes and description of the bizarre. Speaking of the film with Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe, we leave you with our review of The Lighthouse.
