On the set of Cambogia, a popular crime series filled with shootouts, explosions, and gang rivalries, something goes terribly wrong when the director calls cut. Actor Valerio De Nicolais suddenly finds himself trapped inside the violent and extremely dangerous world of the show, where prop guns fire real bullets. Meanwhile, in the real world, Tramezzino, the hapless henchman played by De Nicolais, takes his place. Through a series of unbelievable circumstances, the two find themselves living each other’s lives: one caught up in parties, privileges, and the perks of fame, the other forced to survive in a criminal underworld that seems to have already sealed his fate.
Few movies deal with aging (particularly aging women) with as much compassion as Relic does. Yet it’s not sickly sweet and not a soapbox rant against ageism. Relic simply is, allowing the horror to seep in quietly and carefully.
Happy Halloween! If you were debating capping off Spooky Season with a viewing of Hocus Pocus 2, it is just very clear that this is more for the younger audience as opposed to people who grew up with the original.
It's good for your film viewing needs, but isn’t going to shake your world. Demonic is trippy sci-fi fun, and that’s about it. And that's pretty cool.
In addition to the cast being delightfully diverse this time around, the film was just loosely-plotted and action-packed enough to keep a casual fan like myself entertained. While I do agree that the writing of Cole left much to be desired for an original character thrust into a preconceived universe, none of the characters seemed particularly fleshed out in terms of personality; however, I think that's to be expected when you're watching a film literally inspired by a video game.
One thing’s for certain: Holmes has star power. We may not be able to see everything, but we’re certainly all watching.
This glimpse into this world is so captivating that it is an easy must-see, nearly flawless, and exceptional in every way.
