Halloween
Forget all the other movies in the franchise: this is a direct sequel to the 1978 classic 'Halloween' directed by horror master John Carpenter. Ignoring all the stories told in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, this new movie brings back Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, who survived the events of 78 and, suffering from PTSD, seeks revenge against killer Michael Myers. Showing respect towards Carpenter's work, director David Gordon Green does a competent job and is highly praised by critics.
Halloween Kills
Here, one of the most iconic horror films of the 1970s is back in the spotlight for genre fans. In the direct sequel to the 2018 production - which is worth revisiting before tackling 'Halloween Kills' - we follow the endless Halloween night of the town of Haddonfield, Illinois, USA. The protagonist of the original movie, Laurie Strode (played by Jamie Lee Curtis), takes a back seat this time and the protagonists are other survivors of the community, who decide to get rid of the bloodthirsty Michael Myers once and for all. Those familiar with the franchise know that joining forces against the killer is a waste of time and a death sentence, as he is practically immortal. But still, we embark on another bloody journey trying to understand why Myers continues with this killing spree. David Gordon Green, who also directed 'Halloween' (2018) and will lead the third movie of this reboot, manages to bring some creativity to a script that, unfortunately, grows little in almost two hours of film. In any case, the gore combined with the scares is a formula that still manages to guarantee fun for those who like slashers and, without a doubt, Green delivered a great job in this regard.
Halloween Ends
Movie that concludes the story started in 'Halloween' 2018 (ignoring all previous films, except the original from 1978) and continued by 'Halloween Kills: The Terror Continues'. Directed again by David Gordon Green, 'Halloween Ends' begins four years after Michael Myers' last appearance, with Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) finally finding some peace. The movie introduces a new character with whom it intends to close a narrative about trauma, fear, prejudice, and marginalization told by its two predecessors. It doesn't always work out and, in fact, ends up leaving Laurie and Michael aside, in a narrative with sudden and not always justified turns. However, for fans of the new trilogy created by Green, it will be a satisfactory closure. Read our full analysis here.
Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
