Four content creator friends—Raka, Naya, Kevin, and Bima—who love exploring horror, decide to visit a mysterious building known as the Three-Story Building, a building without doors, windows, or rooms that stands in the middle of a rice paddy. With their cameras as witnesses, they intend to prove that the haunted stories circulating are just myths. However, from the moment they enter the building, various illogical events begin to haunt them. Mysterious voices, a dark figure visible only through the camera, and illusions of space and time trap them in an inexplicable terror. When the exit seemingly disappears and the footage begins to show a different reality, they realize that something has been watching them from the beginning. ARSI 07: Unpublished Footage is a mockumentary and found footage horror film that creates suspense through seemingly real footage, with an ending that leaves the question: did they really escape, or have they become part of the archives forever lost?
Unlike other documentaries about Princess Diana, Perkins’ film, 'The Princess', is an entire documentary consisting of media coverage and public opinion, rather than a typical series of people interviewed with firsthand experience of the Princess. 'The Princess' beautifully depicts how we perceive Diana as a media figure rather than a real person, specifically creating her persona as a fairytale figure turned saint and icon.
It doesn’t offer an absolute answer for the dialectical ethical questions that emerged in search of justice but portrays the characters as living people beyond the identities of victims.
With The Father, writer-director Florian Zeller- who wrote and developed the play upon which the film is based- pulls no punches as he confidently makes every effort to put the audience in the mind of someone whose grip on reality has all but vanished. It’s a dazzling testament to Zeller’s abilities as a director as he makes his first transition from stage to film appear as if he’s been working behind a camera his entire career. The dialogue he fashions with co-writer Christopher Hampton, along with the work of production designers Peter Francis and Cathy Featherstone, collectively makes the downward spiral of dementia startlingly tangible, doing so in a way that can be comprehended by everyone except the person it directly affects.
While the camera is objectifying her body to invoke a sexual response in male viewers, Lara Croft still defies the expectations of women in action films.
Malignant is a roller coaster ride of slow-build scares, moments of wonderfully absurd camp, and explorations of autonomy.
The relationship between Will and Sean is the best part of the movie. It’s always a delight to see Robin Williams on screen
