Young nurse Dasha is getting ready to marry the perfect guy. But her bachelorette party doesn't go according to plan. An unexpected guest shows up for the party, a dream proposal arrives from Moscow, and soon her life is in danger. The temperature rises: surrounded by passions and extreme circumstances, Dasha faces a difficult choice.
In all honesty, “Black and Blue” is a satisfying experience, complete with solid craftsmanship. With the help of cinematographer Dante Spinotti, Deon Taylor (the director) creates a murky, lived in atmosphere.
In a film where a Black couple is framed to be the lead characters, they still managed to get shuffled off to the sidelines. The enthusiastic cast delivers well on goofy bits- but can only go so far before they begin to fall flat.
As a whole, Sightless pushed boundaries between illusion and reality. It made viewers question if there really is a difference. Ellen was strong, brave, and even compassionate given her situation. She was a force to be reckoned with.
Shudder makes an incredibly atmospheric docuseries about the darker side of Hollywood mysteries.
This is ambitious horror filmmaking, and in a lot of ways, I fully admire its ambitions. For me, the film’s sloppiness defines its overall quality.
