I've been a fan of horror and mystery films for many years, but that interest has been fading.<\/p>\n
There are several reasons. One is that in the horror genre, originality and ingenuity have given way to easy scares<\/strong>, and there comes a point where things are so predictable that nothing scares you anymore. On the other hand, when reality ends up being more terrifying than fiction<\/strong>, what's the point of seeking even more terror in films?<\/p>\n For some time now, I've become more selective about the horror movies I watch, always hoping for something original and surprising. This week, I went to see \"Weapons,\" the latest film by American actor and director Zach Cregger.<\/strong> I confess I wasn't familiar with this director, and I went to see this film after watching only half the trailer. I had a good feeling about it and was intrigued to see it.<\/strong> Unfortunately, it was released the same week my father died...<\/p>\n The film's premise is based on a mystery: the disappearance of all the children from an elementary school classroom except one<\/strong>. I admit that at times I found the film disconcerting. What's this about? As a horror film, it's somewhat atypical<\/strong>, and I think that's a good thing. The cinematography is fabulous (I'm an amateur photographer and I attach great importance to this aspect) and the performances are very good. I definitely liked it<\/strong>, even despite some \"gore\" elements, which is why I don't recommend it to those with a sensitive stomach. Here's the trailer:<\/p>\n
