In the Grip of Evil (1997)
This history is bullshit
The history behind the Exorcist is bogus, the boy never lived in Mount Rainier, he lived in Cottage City. He wasn't possessed, it's all an urban legend that got out of control after the release of the movie.
This video does not present any testimonies of people who were neighbours or friends of the family, nor interview the boy himself. What kind of investigation is is that?
Most of it is based in declarations of father Bober who is a proved *liar*
All this history have been investigated by a real journalist who really unveils where the boy lived, where he attended school, who have talked with the people who knew him at the time of this case, and who talked with the boy himself.

Hakuchi (1951)
The imposed edit of this movie makes it impossible to rate.
Although severely mutilated, this film still distillates the genius of Kurosawa, unfortunately the artistic decisions are still made by the people who have the money, not by the people who have the talent.
For the people who have read Dostoievski's "The Idiot", I think this film will be an amazing experience. For the rest the movie probably won't be very clear, because the studio edited off over an hour of footage, which obviously crippled the movie.
That was the luck which Kurosawa's "The Idiot" ran. And many of other films too.

El día de la bestia (1995)
The ending explained
Many people complaints about the ending of "El día de la Bestia", most of them are north Americans, used to no-thinking Hollywood plots/endings.
Well, for all of you from me, with love: If you look with attention, you'll notice all over the movie a group of racists who kill homeless and foreigners.
Those are the "devil's henchmen" (one of them the "devil" himself) It's a metaphor, WE (human race) are the "antichrist", there are not supernatural entities such as gods or devils, certain human behaviour is what father Berriortua ends finding as the "devil" Regards
Saboteur (1942)
Excellent, the enemy at home
There isn't another theme that scares more than having the enemy at home, and if it's wartime then it becomes terrifying. Remarkable scenes like the one in the blind man's shack or the one in the cinema.
Very well directed (as always) and perfectly performed, "Saboteur" (although a minor work of the master) is highly recommendable.
