Charles Band (USA - 2005) Marcus Nispel

Background: we are in 1905 and little Sofia and is intent on playing with her favorite dolls (among which a puppet inquietantissima / samurai) breaks a valuable vase. The angry rebuke of his father would cost her her life and the body will be hidden with his "comrades" of games.

Year 2005: The puppet killer after a century of sleep, leading to a disruption in a party with teens ... The latter, in a panic, will face not only the treacherous mini killer, but also a spirit eager for revenge ....

Charles Band is universally recognized as an institution in the field of films focusing on dolls and puppets bloodthirsty killer. Founder of the famous film studios' Home Media Entertainmen t "," Entertainment Empire "and the" Full Company Band Moon Entertainment, boasts a respectable filmography (as director and producer), composed almost entirely of low-budget works, which have a genuine copy of background, the hearth of old journeyman conceptions of the past. Expected Therefore, from his "creatures", honest work that do not curse the viewer, and a few pretty girls asunder tap into effect. No masterpiece on the horizon, but simply the hallway that do not dissolve in remake with cannibals or wrongturniani homes infested. With Doll Graveyeard the minimum expectations will be amply rewarded.

are not spared some brutal scenes of gore connection, others where the voltage increases gradually (it takes the bite of a doll's hand a terrible blonde). All this not helped by a despicable industry of music, mostly composed of frivolous music for teenagers who take turns to other far more evocative. Not bad. The final plot twist, even though for the most experienced and predictable, it turns out, however, impetuous and inexorable. The flaws are easily understood as the classical productions of this kind: lack of credibility behind the story (hardly as tiny dolls can be powerful and significant as to affect even those who are ten times bigger) and the classic adolescent dialogues certainly borrowed some 80s slasher movie. Doll Graveyard is a weak recovery in Charles Band negligible after Dr. Moreau's House of Pain .

Unpublished in Italy, "The Cemetery of Dolls " could be a pleasant surprise for an evening of stress.

Frankenstein - (TV) / USA - 2004

Dr. Helios through the technique of criogenesi has created an army of genetically engineered creatures that seek to dominate the world. One of them called "The Surgeon" is leaving a trail of brutal crimes just to be caught by the police, tired of his life and wretched condition. But the deaths spread like wildfire and to oppose the plan of the criminal will think a pretty crazy workaholic detective and his inept Assistant with the help of a good creature of evil scientist, a sort of Young Frankenstein monster equipped with two hearts to animate it.

The plot is intended to be a modern interpretation of the myth of Frankenstein . The assumption could also be attractive Marcus Nispel Except that (as happened also in the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ) on the one hand, confirms the vote in a way his talent masterful photography and beautiful scenery in shades of greenish other foolishly forget to treat in detail all the rest of the sector actors to the script processing is left to chance and everything made with rose water. The film unfortunately pledge to pay a little chaotic and linear screenplay (and here comes out the design for a pilot of a homonymous TV series ever transmitted), a multitude of characters in themselves absolutely one-dimensional and which do not bring anything constructive to the story, the usual banal dialogues to embarrass even those who have never conducted a police inquiry, and deconstruction of the story so that the skein Sbriglia obsolete even for a poliziottesco 70. Even lovers of splatter will be disappointed: for the duration of the movie you will not see a drop of hemoglobin. Add to this, however, that 'Frankenstein' ends when the story begins to become interesting. In conclusion, The Lab (this adaptation Italian) is insignificant as few direct to video titles, where it is really hard to save something for the horrorofilo not fussy.

Batman v Dracula - The Animated Movie by M. Goguen (USA - 2005)

Batman v Dracula is unpredictable and fascinating work, which would mislead the average viewer to a listless first impact. In fact, behind the guise of an animated universe is hiding dark, evil, cynical and just as ruthless. Innovating certain historical figures of the universe of Gotham City, it is a time and even pay homage to faithfully the classic vampire (from the Hammer films of the " Carmilla" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and WF Murnau ). The figure of Dracula look good with the thought inevitably refers to the overriding Christopher Lee, as well as its primitive appearance after the desecration has strong reminiscences "Murnauiane, typical of a revived Count Orlok articulated more than ever, and little accustomed forgiveness ... But the real surprise of the film lies in wanted to dig deeply into the psychologies of the characters had never seen a Batman so disastrously clumsy human and helpless before a threat (one of the undead), which certainly seems too large to be foiled ... What is more the joker, the real surprise of this clash of worlds to be resold in the dark figure of the Joker sagacious, true showman and actor of the scene: smart, shrewd and vile as a sort of reincarnation of great Reinfield ... His role is the key, the real pivot of the story is him. A spectacular film with a few drops in tone (there are rare but present), which in its small way allows you the luxury of spare no low blows to the viewer. Think of the initial duel between Batman and the Joker, the scene seems likely to portray a gay fist fight between longtime enemies, but that moves towards a conclusion of a dramatic and unprecedented cynicism ... It is only the beginning ... Entertainment.

in Venice Nosferatu with Klaus Kinski, Caiano Mario, Luigi Cozzi, Augusto Caminito, Maurizio Lucidi (Italy - 1988)

Nosferatu, buried in Venice during the plague of the eighteenth century, is brought to life by a noble aristocratic ( direct descendant of an old love of the vampire) through a seance. Now every ounce of energy, thus began the search for the sacrifice of a young virgin from the bowels of a foggy city dead.

The result of all Italian Nosferatu, The Prince of the Night Werner Herzog film is a multi-faceted just like the eccentric actor. A cast of fine actors (Klaus Kinski , Donald Pleasence, Christopher Plummer , Yorgo Voyagis) and a nice, cool, romantic Venice photograph depicting a bitter and dark, friend / enemy of the now helpless vampire. In short, the film is the latest masterpiece of Italian Gothic worthy of note. Fog, castles, virgins and vampires are the cornerstones of the film, supported by a series of bad sequences (the shadow of Nosferatu, his awakening in the basement of the castle or the flight to Venice). Persuasive and invasive music and treated at the right special effects.

Unfortunately there is not satisfactory to record a Mounting also due to the swirl of directors that have followed ( Mario Caiano , Augusto Caminito, the same Kinski and Luigi Cozzi) , second-tier players out part ( Barbara De Rossi all).

E 'should be mentioned that the film has had a somewhat troubled production. Upstream In fact, for the few who were not aware, there are the tantrums dell'indemoniato Kinski, never so histrionic and got from delusions of leadership. Upon arriving on the set threw an angry against the mirror stage director Mario Caiano . But this was only the beginning of a series of "follies" implemented by the actor. To better understand the psychology of the last named behaviors must see a statement:

" not understand it, are Aguirre, Nosferatu, Fitzcarraldo, Woyzeck. Check it out every time. I have within me the souls of millions of people, things, animals. I am nothing, but through me pass a force that goes to others. I believe in reincarnation. In life, first of all. But the film is even more evident. Even people unconsciously know this, and go to the cinema expecting the reincarnation of Nosferatu. After Woyzeck I could not get rid of character, and I wonder what would happen to me, if I had not been able to experience all the vicissitudes of my characters. Because we are all potential murderers or victims. This work, which people call the cinema, I call this approach the mystery of the universe .

Just this assertion comes from his wonderful documentary "My Best Friend " by Werner Herzog , to synthesize the spirit and soul of Nosferatu in Venice and how he intended to do ( and be) cinema.

Klaus was going to play for the second time one of the characters that gave him fame and success, in its decadent phase of his career came in the cold winter of his life. He had everything. Women and money. Could safely follow the directives of Mario Caiano , do homework, brush up on the movements and gestures that made him famous and be subject to the usual make-up sessions that made the fortunes of Werner Herzog's masterpiece . Would not change anything. No. He could not go that road easily navigable and obvious.

Litigation and rants on the set of mirrors scene fired directors, the braiding relations with any actress (Venice will be the scene of his last love, Debora Caprioglio ), Deciding which sequences to turn and what not, everything was perfectly orchestrated ad hoc interpreter to give Opera a soul decay, dirty, corrupt and miserable but at the same time very friendly, just like the character that was bringing in fiction (fiction that clearly was not). He had always acted in this obsessive manner, every character is his (temporary) state of mind.

A characterization conceived pale, tired and decadent but for this to be perfect that her last piece, the decline of his life in a beautiful symbiosis between reality and fiction that sums up a world made of controversial fights, disappointment, unrequited love alternating successes and excesses. And a lot of sensitivity.

it will die three years later after his retirement in Lagunitas, California, in his villa, a hermit. Just as the last melancholy sequences we see the decadent Nosferatu hermit finally find peace. Genius.

Vampyros Lesbos of Jesus Franco (Spain, Germany - 1971) Kevin Greutert

Alice Gordon (Ewa Stromberg) used in a real estate agency, is prey every night of surreal dreams that oppress el'affascinano: a kite, a butterfly, a scorpion and a trickle of blood on a window seem to recall irresistibly to a desolate place, and a sensual voice whispering his name. So he decides to move into the beautiful, uninhabited island of Uskudar, near Istanbul, taking the opportunity to strike a deal with the executor of the Countess Nadia Uskudar (Soledad Miranda). Just at this place forgotten by God will find the answer to his disturbing dreams. The two seem to know the dawn of time, and during a conversation the Countess will unveil the mystery, it is none other than a vampire centuries ago all'inedia ordered by her husband and saved by the Prince of all Vampires: Nosferatu. Now, the sweet Creature of the Night want blood, vast expanses of blood ...

Beautiful, psychedelic gem directed by master of horror English Jesus Franco, Las Vampiras is a journey of no return in beautiful and sunny places, characterized by a strong melancholic beauty that contrasts with the well-emphasized by the remote landscapes. The film is considered a feminine reinterpretation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, supported by numerous ideas extrapolated from the novel "Carmilla" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu . If there is one thing likely to embody the melancholy that is the Iberian landscape that the director can shoot simplicity and clarity: views of secluded islands, majestic villas outside world blood-red sunsets, abandoned houses in ruins. Effective because the idea is to set the film entirely in the daytime, an unconventional choice for a vampire movie. Then forget the classic gothic atmospheres, here give way to dreamy, enchanted beaches. And then the finale ...

The finish is one of the saddest and most moving ever printed on film because the director behind simple elements (a scorpion, a kite, a butterfly, a trickle of blood) a series of messages with strong poetic meaning . The original voice actors (in particular those of the two protagonists) is something sensual and seductive at the same time. Simply Unique. The good Soledad Miranda (who died tragically a few weeks after the shooting) is identified with body and soul into the part so taken by the character that the suspect is actually a vampire. Actors are also excellent outline of the story including the director himself (much above rows) and Dennis Price in the role of Van Helsing of the situation. Regarding the use of colors, Franco loves the color contrasts fossilize. Strong and sharp contrasts. Fair-haired Alice than blacks, long and winding Nadia, red and black, like good and evil, shall enter into symbiosis in a deep single tone. The psychedelic jazz music and lively photography increase the sense of beauty that is inexorably withering, evolve since the first frames. Las Vampiras so it's one of those movies that should be savored more than once, for better appreciate the many nuances scattered throughout the film. Discover will live in a bizarre and fascinating journey, after seeing nothing there will be clear or even indefinitely.

Finally, clarification required: Las Vampiras is the English version (butchered by the censors) the film " Vampyros Lesbos ", which instead circulates in German and covers the basic plot. The differences between the two versions are many, in fact, shot in question is only suggested for Sapphic component, much more explicit in German version. More. In the "soft" English are totally absent in the German scene, dialogue, history and different names. Essentially then, the final product of the censors us two films for most heterogeneous, but both the magnetic charm of visual and emotional. But these are only useless findings. Las Vampiras (or Lesbos Vampyros ) eternally fascinate us with the unforgettable memory of the Queen of all vampires, the Countess of Uskudar Nadia: The Countess Soledad Miranda.

Trivia: The film boasts a remake ( Snakewoman) 2005, also directed by Jesus Franco

and Citations: Not far from Istanbul, in the tiny, uninhabited island of Uskudar, there are still ruins of a old palace. Ancient legends not yet stifled ... by the sirens of ships, said that in that house lived a foreign princess all'inedia ordered by her husband, a great sultan. Locked in his cell of gold, the beautiful captive, surrounded by slaves, would have died slowly. Instead, they were the slaves who grew pale, became ill and died in a strange way, while the Princess kept her color pink and gloss of the eye.
