New York Horror
Maniac Tales: Anthology film set in New York but filmed in Spain. In the framing sequence, Juan, an immigrant fleeing from ICE is offered a job as a doorman/janitor in an apartment building. It has a variety of eccentric tenants but one of them, a screenwriter, is missing. There is a reward for the (also missing) manuscript of the last episode of the TV horror series she was writing. As things get weirder in the building Juan decides to watch other episodes in the horror series. We see burglars who just want to hang out finding a skull and getting a Monkey’s Paw style wish; a yiung girls is used as bait to track down her sister’s killer; a conman trying to cheat older women who he meets on dates suffers a grim setback; a real estate agent makes an odd discovery in a basement. Quite gruesome and gory action as peopke chopped up meet the undead, strange relatives and are devoured by a monster. Not for the squeamish. Well worth watching especially the Cimbeline vigilante/revenge story which was was shot digitally and then animated using interpolated rotoscope. Directed by Denise Castro (“Skull of Desire” segment), Enrique García (“The Perfect Moment” segment), Abdelatif Hwidar (“The Visit” segment)., Kike Mesa (“Zimbelin” segment), Rodrigo Sancho, (main segment); Written by Enrique García, Salva Martos Cortés, Kike Mesa, Lluís Segura. On Netflix. 7/10.
Basic no frills horror tales
Interweaved tales of horror with not much imagination or scares to be honest.I am still waiting for someone to bring out a series of tales as good as they were done by Hammer horror studios 50 years ago but it seems with the oodles of CGI and money we just do not seem to be able to accomplish what we did all those years ago.
Where are the writers with imagination and directors who know how to weave the stories together – Tales Of The Unexpected and Tales From The Crypt still have 100% more imagination, scares and a twist in the tale than anything I have seen lately and this movie whilst filmed well and has a few moments just sinks into the mediocre minefield of stinkers – Best walk around and avoid this one!
