This Indian horror outing is a foray into Indian folklore and for some reason it makes excellent horror. This is an finely crafted movie that has excellent cinematography and equally excellent sound design and it has an incredible atmosphere. This is a story about gods, greed and the attempt to make ends meet, even if it means angering the gods. It has gothic horror and a fantastic set design from the inside of a gods womb to rain lashing down outside, it never disappoints. It doesn't go for the easy kill or scare jump, this one will come creeping up on you. Far superior to most western horror movies and then it is fresh and original. It is subtitled and in Hindi, the basic story is laid out in the beginning of the film, so keep your eyes peeled and spool back, it you missed something, that will make this movie much easier to understand.

Quite unusual and mesmerizing vampire tale, that break with traditions. Mackenzie Rosman delivers an amazing performance as the main character, vampire Rowena. This is a vampire flick with good story and it is well executed, I find it very enjoyable and rewatchable, it deserves to be much better known than it is. It reminds me a little about Abel Ferrara's The Addiction.

Can you keep a secret? Because this is a secret Danish masterpiece. I rather enjoyed having it all for myself, but I feel it is so great, that I ought to share. Imagine a world stuck sometimes in the late 60s or early 70s. The technology, architecture and furniture design all indicates it. Everyone lives a new life every day, as the old way lead to people leading unhappy lives and committed suicides. Instead Madam Data, the mainframe computer, assigns you a new home, spouse, kids, friends and work, every day and makes sure you never meet the same spouse twice. It is an adaption of a Danish sci-fi novel from 1980 and it looks a lot like the dystopian movies of the 60s and 70s, such as Fahrenheit 451(1966), Z.P.G.(1972), and Soylent Green(1973) Here, the man Elef happens to fall in love with Maya, his wife for a day. But how do you get more days with the same person? Its prohibited, and those who seek it are called "The Locked Persons". Those who do not eat their Nightpill, so the Assistant Service can pick them up at night and move them to a new place with new spouse, kids etc. Assistant Service move people and police the rules in the Orwellian society. The chemistry between Elif(Jens Jørgen Spottag) and Maya(Kaya Brüel) works to the advantage of the film, making it a unique experience. It has been shown on Danish TV a few times and is today available for streaming on DR's (Danish Television) homepage, if you live in Denmark. So due to the language barrier and geoblock restrictions, I will probably be able to keep this masterpiece a secret a little longer, only shared with a few other Danish residents.
