Delirium

The rating of this film justifies itself. Even 3.3 points — this is a very big advance given the "Delirium" — the film, which is declared as a horror movie, but not is.

Student youth fellowship. To join it is necessary to go at night in an abandoned mansion, where once there was a mass murder. One of the College kids, who really very excited to join the fraternity to be cool, drink beer, hang out with beautiful girls can anybody full of serene for a while (it all usually College boy in the campus do, if you believe the cinema), going to the future fellows and goes into mansion. Here only he lost his companions go to house for them as the legend goes, is haunted. Naturally, in this nezaezzhennoe and the only its kind of the plot the creators have in store for the viewer a whole lot of pleasant surprises!

General Director johnny Martin, who is your 55 years took 5 of movies, the most savage from which was "human skeleton" in the first half of zero, tried to make a film that would stand out from other similar movies sinister home! For example, where did you see that group of people wandered the mansion, thus becoming easy targets for the forces of evil? Yes to such filmmakers never thought of, but johnny Martin went on such a step! And the heroes, saying that you must stick together, here drunk as well sheep the meadow, the most bringing on your, Well... trouble. By the way, strange that in this film, there any dark-skinned, because they, as a rule, die first.

Or have you seen in horror movies sinister basements where is happening every game and where not should go down? Or some of characters, seeing the person (entity), which next to him well, not supposed to be close (especially when you consider that in an abandoned house, for example), all has to ask him, "is all him in order", the most approaching its demise. Well, about polypseudorotaxanes shooting style generally speaking not have — here, only Area Krizovnicka and his dilogy "Bitter" comes to mind, because there in the "Delirium" one of the main participants of the event acted as the operator.

Zero templates, high strain caused by the account permanent crown in the screen, illuminated only by the rays of the lanterns in hand, constantly shaking the camera (obviously the operator was also scary as hell), cutting sounds, from which chills running through the skin, hastily collecting bags and migrating to the downstairs neighbors, the sudden appearance of different creatures in the frame, and in the most unexpected moment, when relaxed and nothing waiting — if you include "Delirium," you waiting for a full immersion in chilling horror, shot with highest professionalism and decent mass of various awards.

However, to watch You. Your opinion is not impose.

Nice view.

Johnny Martin for his career was received in the disposal of such names as Nicolas cage ("Revenge: a love Story") and al Pacino ("Hangman"). But we should not forget that in addition, Martin is responsible for "Human skeleton" — a terrible game, which has become one of the worst paintings in the horror genre. What well, apparently, he decided to repeat the "success", only at this time to make a horror movie in the format of "found film".

The group of friends convinces one of them to go to the old house in the dark forest. When he didn't come back, the band embarks on his quest. Predictable and Ghost story set in the famous estate of Densmore, an elegant mansion in Auckland, which was also observed in "Fantasma". To unfortunately, the scenery themselves by itself is not make films, even though I still, his score for setting.

The second point can be awarded for a little trick. In while most films in the "found films" are shot with point of view characters, in the"Delirium" there are moments in which the heroes set up a camera or editing frames, of which the narrative becomes from third party. This allows to improve the composition, lighting and generally the quality of the effects.

The rest — a complete failure. The storyline is rudimentary and conditional. Strictly speaking, the plot here is almost there: in a similar project "grave encounters" viewers long prepared, through dialogue and disclosure of details. Here — in the quarry which collapses the the atmosphere of the "found film". Not mention the plot conventions, holes and just strange things that have appeared due to the laziness of the writers.

The characters also belong to those rocks that down "Delirium" on the bottom of the cinema. The characters are so interchangeable that they can be one person. Some of the characters just disappear from the movie, they are not kill do not take the ghosts, they just put on blue. Themselves actors picked up somehow so that externally, they were each other similar: among them are no one woman, no one black, and none them contains his personality in General some distinguishing features.

Various ghosts and ghouls that you meet the group, also cause only a yawn. Tempting naked girl-Ghost, enter in narrative manner of the Shining, nor can breach the wall of indifference.

It's hard to recommend "Delirium" someone. Probably at other factors of production, it would be quite a good picture or her sins could be to forgive. But this, alas, is not work of novice Director; johnny Martin's over 50. Martin, to the same is clearly not the fool, as, according to all "Delirium" sometimes refers to classics like "Fear of Operation" Basis, and in some scenes see the posters "Psycho" and"Vertigo" of Hitchcock. It is difficult, of course, to notice any signs of the impact of such works in"the Delirium", which in the remainder represented by abominable and unpleasant trash.
