Really very bad plot. It's based on clichês like going to live on a beautiful isolated house to find a killer monster, and a child with her imaginary friend who's not imaginary. All characters act strangely, forcedly. A guy who wanna approach a child won't talk directly to her and just ignore her mother. A young woman working as nanny won't be in bikini alone with the father when the mother is clearly jealous and hysterical. And they don't even bother to explain the monster. They barely show it, clearly saving on the costume. But I mean, they don't even care to explain what the monster is and why it lives there, as in lack of imagination. It's worth only to watch Natasha Bassett and Amiah Miller.

A1998-09-09Roughly chronological, from 3/96 to 11/96, with a coda in spring of 1997: inside compounds of Aum Shinrikyo, a Buddhist sect led by Shoko Asahara. (Members confessed to a murderous sarin attack in the Tokyo subway in 1995.) We see what they eat, where they sleep, and how they respond to media scrutiny, on-going trials, the shrinking of their fortunes, and the criticism of society. Central focus is placed on Hiroshi Araki, a young man who finds himself elevated to chief spokesman for Aum after its leaders are arrested. Araki faces extreme hostility from the Japanese public, who find it hard to believe that most followers of the cult had no idea of the attacks and even harder to understand why these followers remain devoted to the religion, if not the violence.More...

New Beginnings2023-09-27Alain and Diane have been together for 30 years. In his mind, Alain is still 30 years old. But the equation 30 years of routine feelings, empty nest (and incidentally a job where being 50 is like an incurable disease) creates a much less euphoric effect for Diane. She oscillates between depression and free fall - and the first one who says "hormonal" she smokes. Alain loves Diane like crazy and love is proof. He's going to do something crazy for her, something to make her feel vital again, to make her heart beat and youthfulness pulsate. The crazy thing? Leave her. The risk with electroshock ? Unknown: either it wakes up or it burns. They will take it, with their eyes closed.More...
