La Maison rouge

This atmosphere! And actually, nothing is happening. People are sitting at dinner, the wind is howling outside, and you realize that something is not right here. There is no need for frantic cuts, unnecessary sound effects, although the film cannot avoid them. When there is peace, it is the most terrifying thing that can happen. What will come next? That uneasiness, in and of itself, is simply amazing. And then the scene in the forest comes... Black and white suits the film, especially when it is properly utilized. Unfortunately, the narrative of the film quickly loses momentum, and it is balanced only by good acting performances and occasionally returning great atmosphere. (20/12/2013)
