Disco Inferno

I dont get the point on producing something like this.

Without giving top much away: They start with a ludicrous premise that you feel needs to be explained in order for the audience to know how did we get there om the first place, but it never is explained. Then we move to years later where there are obvious connections to the aforementioned premise story, but even then, things just happen out of the blue and there's just no satisfaction given to the audience in terms of the writers going "so this is how we got here from there, see?" You end up with a feeling of "but why?" Pointless, shallow and meaningless. At least its short.

One of the coolest and most genuinely horrific premises I ever beheld was in Lucio Fulcio's "City of the Living Dead", when the suicide of a priest in a graveyard leads to the opening of hell's gates to earth. Why am writing this? Because, for a very brief moment, I hoped that "Disco Inferno" had a similar premise. The story opens atmospherically in 1955, with a nun confessing to murder and baby-kidnapping before hanging herself in church. Alas, though, after the promising intro the plot goes into a totally different and utterly stupid direction. "Disco Inferno" is a good example to illustrate why you shouldn't bother with short movies. There's no context, character depth, or decent build up. It's only 20 minutes long but manages to be boring for fifteen of those, and the denouement is pathetic beyond words.

Omg. What did I watch? First of all I have to say please do not produce short horror movie. Because till now every short horror movie is so boring, so annoying, so meaningless. No horror elements in here. By the way I like the idea, maybe someone can make a long version of that but with this version it is really absurd. I like disco atmosphere. Dresses and looks was good. I can say I loved only this part of the movie. What happened actually I don't know. It is so open ending story. Why happened this exorcism things to main character no Idea. That was stupid part. This black eyes situation was really unnecessary. Anyway I think it is kind of experimental movie and cinematography was good but no story, no acting skills in it for me..

This movie is completely pointless. Rehearsing the short dance scene must have taken longer than writing the script. I know it's a short movie. I've seen many good short movies. This is not one of them. Writing this review and trying to bring it up to the required sixhundred characters probably takes longer than writing the script. If you read the blurb of the movie, you already know everything that happens. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. The production staff really tried hard to make this look good and the actors do their best, but there is simply no substance to the story at all. 321.

I must confess I plunged into this netlix job rather unaware of what lay ahead. Therefore, it is difficult to claim offense when the thing came to an abrupt end. It was a short and I found out the hard way, but with a feeling of relief as well. After all, I wasn't especially enjoying what I had seen, so out of sight, out of mind. The very bare plot juggles demonic possession, maternity and boogie in a hurry that mostly denotes a flair of 70s nostalgia (mostly Dario Argento and John Travolta) and a slavery to well trodden tropes of both horror and musical movies. The outcome is not remarkably outstanding, just another netflix whim of a genre, that of horror, that requires imagination and sense of humor. Most recent case in point: Adult Swim Yule Log. This one, I do recommend.
