A Bunch of Amateurs (2022)
A heartfelt masterpiece
Had the privilege of attending the premiere of this wonderful film and meeting the cast/filmmakers. It brought me to tears, made me laugh hysterically & warmed my heart so much. Beautiful and truly full of passion for film. Colin and Harry are the stand out participants showing the real hardships of life alongside the true joy that a small club can bring. The family feel and the unity of a group coming together (even virtually throughout a pandemic) and supporting one another through bereavements, injuries and the harsh realities of poverty, caring for relatives & loneliness is felt more strongly here than I have ever seen, and it is real. I adored this film.
Deadly Virtues: Love.Honour.Obey. (2014)
A horror thriller than uses sex cleverly without making a torture porno
I first saw this film on the shelves in HMV and thought it looked good but didn't chance buying it in case it turned out to be another torture porn disguised as a horror with a dominating man demanding sex from a vulnerable woman. This, thank God, turned out not to be the case.
The film features three main characters, a married couple, Allie and Tom and their intruder, Aaron. The couple are engaging in sex when an intruder breaks in and knocks them out. The couple wake up, Tom is tied up in the bath and Allie is hanging from the kitchen ceiling, what follows, is a weekend of them being held hostage in their own home.
But this is not ordinary kidnap horror story line, these characters have a depth to them that almost makes you root for the characters you think you should hate, and hate the characters you ought to love.
Overall i think this film is very unique, with no other story lines that are similar to my knowledge. The acting is utterly brilliant for the roles of Allie and Aaron and their chemistry is amazing with the ability to switch between tension and fear to affection and almost a sense of real love.
I highly recommend this dutch made film, i hope my review was somewhat helpful in convincing you to watch!
