Un film d'horreur classique

Not what I thought, but I liked it. It had all the main elements of horror. By the way, don't forget to watch the post credit scene. It adds a bit more to the story. Again, post credit scene.

It's a film that has a high risk of being hated by many for the way it subverts our expectations. It's also a film made by people who clearly love cinema, full of excellent production values, charismatic acting and with a strong social message. It takes patience and isn't as bloody and scary as it was sold, but its third act makes the whole trip worth it.

I noticed that some people used the word "satire", to make it sounds as if this movie is smarter than it actually is. These people need to google what "satire" actually means.

Satire is a comedic exaggeration of a stereotype as a form of criticism, This movie has no comedy, no exaggeration, no highlighted stereotype whatsoever. "A Classic Horror Story" just copied some part of other slasher movie plot and made a last minute criticism at the end. That's not a satire, that's just being unoriginal.

For real satire movies, check What We Do in the Shadows, Hot Fuzz, Tropic Thunder, or Don't Look Up. That what a satire movie really is. "A Classic Horror Story", is just a normal slasher movie.

That being said, the acting is good, special effect is good, script is good, plot is decent. If you can enjoy a decent, yet unimpressive slasher horror movie like me, I'd say give it a try. By its own merit, I think it's fair to give this movie a very normal 6/10.

People on here really have no clue. I am seeing a lot of 'cliche, taking parts from other horror movies'. Yeah,that was literally the entire point, its poking fun at predictable horror movies and how they use the same blueprint time and time again.... imo, very good tongue in cheek satire.

It's a good one. Photography and screenplay are well made, characters are believable in their choices, actors in their performances. Personally, I loved the well-aged Italian soundtrack. The movie is somehow thought provoking, with a twist in the end that I did not see coming until when the protagonist realises it too, and that's something per se.

Starting from the title itself, the movie goes around playing with genre's archetypes, landing a few scares, also managing to convey an overall sense of uneasiness.

The ending scene: it felt like a critique on our contemporary hysteria on having less and less time, our attention span is reducing, and even watching a movie becomes a chore. The viewer ends up skipping the movie entirely, fast forwarding it, picking few random scenes, ending up taking the same side of those who watched it distractedly, hated it, but spoke about it in capital letters in a comment on a social media.

It really questions the Netflix paradigm of producing movies based on "the like algorithm".

I like when an horror movie does what it's supposed to do: provoke you.
