Dariuss (2023)
A Uniquely Dark arthouse horror Film
The intriguing independent horror art film Darrius by Gaurilla Metrolpolitania a London based Italian producer/director, is a uniquely dark arthouse film that frames the twists and turns of the human psyche when dealing with tragedy. It confronts uncomfortable concepts that for some reason you cannot stop watching and will rewatch just to put together the puzzle that you alone as the viewer can The approach and execution of its story is unlike anything done before in cinema. The use of sound and paceing are as much characters as the images that you can never unsee. It is dark art in film, it is an experience.

A Bloody fun romp
As a lover of the classic slasher flick, I have found myself wanton of late since most modern horror films serve up a steady diet of over the top gore and flashy special effects. So it was great to find this hidden gem which heralded back to the tried and true formula for set up appetizer with out to much dwelling, main course of "We're all gonna die!" in a fairly realistic manner, and then followed up with a twist of "It was who!" for desert. It was over all a fun, and bloody romp through a nineties style slasher flick which gave the fun game of guessing who the killer is with a side course of guessing who is going to die next. If you are a fan of these styled movies you can enjoy the many Easter eggs that lie in the dialog as time and time again references are made to every thing from Scooby Doo to Scream. The camera work was excellent as was the editing which showed good form, though the sound lacked the crisp separation between dialog and back ground that helps put your mind in the action. The plot development was consistent but not obvious, and had some pleasantly surprising twists. TheCampusHouse.com is a movie I would recommend to anyone who wants to have that excuse to cuddle on the couch with some popcorn, a drink, and a lap to jump into.
