The Blood Countess review – Isabelle Huppert reigns supreme in a surreal vampire fantasia

-
Vienna turns into a playground of camp, cruelty and aristocratic disdain in a blackly comic take on the Báthory legend – with Huppert gloriously suited to the title role From the dark heart of central Europe comes a midnight-movie romp through the moonlit urban glades of Euro-goth and camp from German director Ulrike Ottinger. As for the star … well, it’s the part she was born to play. Isabelle Huppert is Countess Elizabeth Báthory, 16th-century Hungarian noblewoman and serial killer, legendary for having the blood of hundreds of young girls on her hands and indeed her body, in an attempt to attain eternal youth. The “blood countess” has been variously played in the past by Ingrid Pitt, Delphine Seyrig, Paloma Picasso, Julie Delpy and many more, but surely none were as qualified as Huppert who importantly does not modify her habitual hauteur one iota for the role. Her natural aristocratic mien and cool hint of elegant contempt were never so well matched with a part. She gives us the ...

New Ryan Murphy Horror Series “The Watcher” Gets Release Date And Trailer On Netflix

-
The series depicts a family that settles into a new residence and must soon contend with scary messages from a neighbor who calls themselves The Watcher. American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy and his creative collaborator Ian Brennan are responsible for creating the series together. In the movie "The Watcher," Bobby Cannavale and Naomi Watts play the married pair Dean and Nora Brannock. In addition to them, the cast also includes Jennifer Coolidge, Mia Farrow, Margo Martindale, Terry Kinney, and others. Do you have any knowledge of the house's past? According to the contents of a letter that appears in the trailer to have been sent by the alleged stalker, "I've been put in charge of observing you." This message is not going to be the last one. I am the one who is watching. The events at the Watcher house in New Jersey served as the jumping-off point for the series; the story was featured in the November 2018 issue of New York magazine. The trailer, made available as a part of the marketing for Netflix's Tudum, features a variety of eerie sounds. It concludes with Olivia Newton John's legendary song Hopelessly Devoted to You from 1978, which was initially included on the soundtrack for the film Grease. The conclusion has the couple walking down a dimly lighted tunnel while Cannavale's character yells out the question, "Who are you?" after a mysterious person darts away from them. In the preview, the character played by Watts wonders aloud whether or not this is something that parents should impart to their offspring. If someone threatens our safety, all we have to do is run? According to TODAY's report, the real-life residence that served as the basis for the series was sold to a new family in 2019, even though the previous owners, Derek and Maria Broaddus, disclosed in 2014 that they had been the recipients of the ominous notes when they purchased the home in 2014.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
