So without further ado ... let's get started! 👻
1-AS ABOVE SO BELLOW (2014-93 min)💀
Esta película fue escrita y dirigida por el director John Erick Dowdle en conjunto con su hermano Drew Dowdle, conocidos por presentar al público trabajos relacionados al genero de terror. Así mismo se encuentra ambientada dentro de las verdaderas catacumbas de París (Francia) lo que a mi parecer le da un toque excepcional, pues, se detalla claramente como usaron ciertos pasadizos, salones, galerías, caminos estrechos y demás peculiaridades que pudo ofrecer dichas catacumbas a lo largo de la película.
This film was written and directed by director John Erick Dowdle in conjunction with his brother Drew Dowdle, known for presenting works related to the horror genre to the public. Likewise, it is set within the true catacombs of Paris (France), which in my opinion gives it an exceptional touch, since it is clearly detailed how they used certain passageways, rooms, galleries, narrow paths and other peculiarities that said catacombs could offer. during the movie.
La historia principal se centra en una joven alquimista la cuál continúa el trabajo de su padre en la búsqueda de la piedra filosofal, o como también se conoce "La Piedra de Flamel" la cual como ya muchos de ustedes sabrán data de, según la historia, esta piedra puede convertir los metales básicos que conocemos en oro y la plata, así como la idea que aunque suene un tanto descabellada, quien sabe si pueda otorgar la vida eterna o curar heridas mientras el portador de la misma siga con vida.
The main story focuses on a young alchemist who continues her father's work in the search for the philosopher's stone, or as it is also known "The Stone of Flamel" which, as many of you already know, dates from, according to history. , this stone can convert the basic metals that we know into gold and silver, as well as the idea that although it sounds a bit crazy, who knows if it can grant eternal life or heal wounds while the bearer of it is still alive.
Scarlett inside the Catacombs
Durante la travesía de Scarlett, llegó a recorrer algunos países tras la búsqueda de pistas que le acercaran cada vez más a su cometido, sorteando así innumerables peligros y retos que ni siquiera ella imaginaría pasar, pero claro está que no podía hacer esto sola, y es que a medida en que se va desarrollando la película se van añadiendo personajes que le aportan tanto conocimientos como ayuda cuando las cosas se van poniendo cada vez mas turbias al enterarse de que al parecer la ubicación de dicha piedra reposa en alguna cámara oculta ante los mapas subterráneos de las catacumbas ubicadas en París las cuáles tienen alrededor de 300 km hasta donde se conoce, pero solo se pueden recorrer 15 km bajo la supervisión de un guía turístico, lo cual lleva a que Scarlett y sus acompañantes busquen a un grupo que se dedica a la exploración de las catacumbas bajo sus propios riesgos...
During Scarlett's journey, she came to cross some countries after searching for clues that would bring her closer and closer to her task, thus avoiding innumerable dangers and challenges that even she would not imagine going through, but of course she could not do this alone, and is that as the film develops, characters are added that provide both knowledge and help when things get more and more murky when they learn that apparently the location of said stone rests in some hidden camera before the Underground maps of the catacombs located in Paris, which are around 300 km as far as is known, but can only be covered 15 km under the supervision of a tour guide, which leads Scarlett and her companions to look for a group to be engaged in exploring the catacombs at your own risk ...

Written text: Cemetery of Bones of the Innocents deposited July 2, 1800.
Texto escrito: Huesos del cementerio etienne depositados en mayo de 1787.
Written text: Bones from the etienne cemetery deposited in May 1787.
Undoubtedly, this film covers many themes in one and above all it tests the faith, religion, beliefs, and mental strength of the protagonists, since moving through very closed spaces tends to cause both claustrophobia and other qualities, without knowing that something dark awaits them as they go deeper and deeper ... which, if you see this film, you will know what I mean.
2-EVIL DEAD (2013-91 min)💀
Evil Dead is one of those modern films (I say it for the year of release) that preserves that spark of keeping the viewer on the edge of the seat, and it is that even though it is a type of remake of the 1981 edition (The Evil Dead) maintains the essence of cinema in the 80s, with the technological improvements in the digital editions of this era, where it seeks to rescue that momentum where demons and possessions take more and more ground and strength on the earthly plane to through people who have weak spirits from situations they find themselves in and cannot escape... at least not entirely on their own.
It all starts with what appears to be a young girl running through a forest, which is kidnapped (so to speak) by some local people from where the filming of the film is located, it is like this when it is shown in a scene after this same girl tied to a central structure in the basement of a cabin, with her face covered and surrounded by a multitude of people, who seem to be part of a religious group or believing sect. With this we quickly enter what we assume is a kind of exorcism or purification that they try to do to this girl, where one of the first people she recognizes when removing the hood with which they brought her to the cabin, is her own father with who makes an exchange of previous words before he sprays her with gasoline, to which she pleads to listen to her, not to listen to others, to ignore them, to which the father takes a firm stance on what is decided to do, because in his hands he has a book that seems to contain the steps to be able to "save" his soul, and one of them is purification by fire ... or rather, burn the person at a stake so that his The soul is pure again, which makes the demon that possesses the girl come out and they have a crossword before finally being burned.
Luego de estos hechos, la historia se centra en un grupo de amigos que deciden pasar unas "ligeras" vacaciones en una cabaña que se encuentre en medio de un bosque (casualidad?), en lo que más adelante se revela el motivo de este viaje, todo radica en que al paso de unos días unos de ellos encuentra lo que pudiese ser un libro de la muerte (o embrujado, como mejor lo puedan denotar) y dentro de su ignorancia, al leerlo despierta a un demonio que querrá alimentarse de todas sus almas para poder venir nuevamente a este plano terrenal, sin imaginarse por todo lo que pasarán para lidiar con ello, pues esa cabaña guarda secretos que ni siquiera se imaginan.
After these events, the story focuses on a group of friends who decide to spend a "light" vacation in a cabin that is in the middle of a forest (coincidence?), In which later the reason for this trip is revealed It all lies in the fact that after a few days some of them find what could be a book of death (or bewitched, as they can best denote it) and within their ignorance, when reading it awakens a demon that will want to feed on all their souls to be able to come again to this earthly plane, without imagining everything they will go through to deal with it, because that cabin holds secrets that they do not even imagine.
Algo que me llama la atención de esta película es la manera en que plasman la historia, como encuentran la manera de el misterio, la zozobra y el saber... ¿Qué pasará después?, ya que cuando menos te lo esperas, una escena te hará brincar del asiento.
Something that catches my attention about this film is the way they capture the story, how they find the way to mystery, anxiety and knowledge ... What will happen next? Because when you least expect it, a scene It will make you jump out of the seat.
3- Darkness Falls (2013-86 min)💀
In the Dark of the Night, or as I usually associate it, "The Tooth Fairy", is a movie that I saw a few years ago (quite a few in fact) I remember that I was just a child, maybe I was about 10 years old more or less and my dad used to buy rental DVDs in a store, and this one he rented caught my attention, which tells the story of Matilda Schultz, who according to her was born on December 24, 1803 in a town fishing boat called Fairyport, located in Australia, which after a time moved to the United States and while still very young married a fisherman, who some time later died in an accident, after this tragic outcome, Matilda's only wish was provide cakes alongside other sweets when local children lose their teeth, which is why he was nicknamed the pseudonym "The Tooth Fairy."
Pero... ¿Cuál es el giro que toma la trama para caer en la historia central de la película? resulta que en la casa de Matilda se desarrolló un incendio en el cual sufrió múltiples quemaduras, específicamente en su rostro, donde quedó prácticamente desfigurada por lo cual solo salía de la casa por la noche con una máscara que cubriera su cara, razón por la cuál los residentes la vieron volverse cada vez más escéptica.
But ... what is the turn the plot takes to fall into the central story of the film? It turns out that a fire developed in Matilda's house in which she suffered multiple burns, specifically on her face, where she was practically disfigured, so she only left the house at night with a mask that covered her face, which is why residents watched her grow increasingly skeptical.
No fue sino hasta una noche de septiembre de 1841, que dos niños desaparecieron y por alguna razón, los residentes culparon a Matilda por los hechos que se habían suscitado antes, con lo cuál una turba enfurecida la sacó de la casa por la noche y la colgaron de un árbol, sin saber los más mínimos detalles sobre el paradero de los niños; es por esto que, Matilda antes de morir jura venganza por lo que le hicieron, creándose así una especie de maldición sobre este poblado.
It was not until one night in September 1841 that two children disappeared and for some reason, the residents blamed Matilda for the events that had occurred earlier, whereupon an angry mob carried her out of the house at night and killed her. they hung from a tree, without knowing the smallest details about the whereabouts of the children; This is why, before she dies, Matilda swears revenge for what they did to her, thus creating a kind of curse on this town.
Un detalle interesante es que antes del amanecer reaparecieron los niños que habían desaparecido en el bosque, ante la sorpresa de saber que Matilda no tenía nada que ver con estas desapariciones la gente de Fairyport intenta confesar sus pecados, pero ya es muy tarde para ello, la pena de muerte para la viuda inocente Matilda Dixon fue maldita, es por esto que el fantasma de Matilda ha estado matando niños en el pueblo de Darkness Falls durante los últimos 150 años después de que cada uno de ellos pierde su último diente de leche.
An interesting detail is that before dawn the children who had disappeared in the forest reappeared, to the surprise of knowing that Matilda had nothing to do with these disappearances, the people of Fairyport try to confess their sins, but it is too late for it, The death penalty for the innocent widow Matilda Dixon was cursed, this is why the ghost of Matilda has been killing children in the town of Darkness Falls for the past 150 years after each of them lost their last baby tooth.
Esta película en lo particular me resulta muy interesante por el hecho de que como está ambientada en los tiempos antiguos donde aún, según as creencias, si se consideraba a una mujer como bruja o su equivalente eran ajusticiadas sin llevar a cabo un proceso mediático en donde se pudiese deliberar cuales son las pruebas y convicciones para realizar un justificado proceso a la hora de juzgar, con lo cuál vemos como una maldición puede cobrar mucha fuerza con el paso del tiempo, una ira que no será saciada y no descansará hasta cobrar muchas más muertes.
This particular film is very interesting to me due to the fact that since it is set in ancient times where, according to beliefs, if a woman was considered a witch or her equivalent, they were executed without carrying out a media process where It could be deliberated which are the tests and convictions to carry out a justified process when judging, with which we see how a curse can gain a lot of force over time, an anger that will not be satiated and will not rest until charging many more deaths.
4- The Ring (2002-116 min)💀
This, without a doubt, for me is a classic !! To begin because it is an American version of the original Japanese film (1998), which is set in the city of Seattle, where two teenagers discuss the existing legend of a cursed video :, which, according to beliefs, is He says that whoever sees it is condemned to die seven days later. One of the protagonists affirms that she saw the tape with another three friends a week ago, thus fulfilling the supposed 7 days, when a few minutes later, she is murdered by an invisible force and one of her friends who accompanied her ends up being admitted to a mental clinic after witnessing the atrocity.
En el funeral la chica, su madre, insta a su hermana a investigar su muerte, ésta vive con su pequeño hijo que tiene dones psíquicos, luego de esto y de empezar las averiguaciones se entera de que todos los amigos de su hermana murieron la misma noche, a la misma hora, luciendo rostros desfigurados en una de las fotos que había revelado, por lo cuál se dirige al sitio donde su hermana se quedó con sus amigos, descubriendo que el rumor del video maldito es real, luego de alquilar la misma cabaña donde ocurrieron los hechos, observa el famoso video, que contiene imágenes inquietantes y horribles. Una vez finalizado el video, Rachel recibe una llamada telefónica de una persona desconocida que susurra "Siete días".
At the funeral the girl, her mother, urges her sister to investigate her death, she lives with her little son who has psychic gifts, after this and starting the investigations she finds out that all her sister's friends died the same night, at the same time, wearing disfigured faces in one of the photos he had revealed, so he goes to the place where his sister stayed with her friends, discovering that the rumor of the cursed video is real, after renting the same cabin where the events occurred, watch the famous video, which contains disturbing and horrible images. After the video is finished, Rachel receives a phone call from an unknown person who whispers "Seven days"
Conforme a como avanza la historia, ella comienza a sufrir síntomas sobrenaturales a medida que avanza la semana, siendo perseguida por una joven de cabello oscuro y húmedo, la cuál se le manifiesta en distintas ocasiones. La investigación de las imágenes del video la lleva hacia Anna Morgan, una criadora de caballos de la isla Moesko, que se suicidó después de que sus caballos premiados se ahogaran, formando así una idea de que es lo que se esconde detrás del dichoso video, pero esto no termina aquí, ya que ella descubre que se hijo está viendo el video y a partir de allí, el peligro es aún mayor.
As the story progresses, she begins to suffer supernatural symptoms as the week progresses, in which she is chased by a young woman with dark and wet hair, who manifests herself on different occasions. The investigation of the video images leads her to Anna Morgan, a horse breeder from Moesko Island, who committed suicide after her award-winning horses drowned, thus forming an idea of what is hidden behind the happy video, But this does not end here, since she discovers that her son is watching the video and from there, the danger is even greater.
5- The Exorcist (1973-122 min)💀
La historia comienza con Lankester Merrin, un sacerdote y arqueólogo que encuentra la cabeza de una figura de Pazuzu (considerado en las creencias como el rey de los demonios del viento) durante una excavación arqueológica en la antigua ciudad de Hatra. Mientras habla de ello con un colega en un museo, un reloj de péndulo se detiene, dando a entender que es como un presagio, por lo cuál, preocupado, Merrin regresa a Georgetown, un distrito de Washington, D.C. en donde otro padre jesuita llamado Damien Karras, sufre por el hecho de que su anciana madre vive sola en un edificio de apartamentos abandonado en Nueva York y no puede persuadirla para que se vaya a una casa de retiro, donde le puedan brindar unos mejores cuidados. Luego de esto, su hermano la lleva a una institución mental pobre y muere poco después, Karras se culpa a sí mismo y empieza a dudar de Dios y quiere ser relevado de sus deberes como consejero psiquiátrico en la Universidad de Georgetown.
At this point in the post, I am very excited !! And it is not for less, because I have come to present one of the best worked horror classics in the industry, and not only do I tell you, the reputation that this film maintains supports it😎.
The story begins with Lankester Merrin, a priest and archaeologist who finds the head of a Pazuzu figure (believed to be the king of the wind demons) during an archaeological dig in the ancient city of Hatra. As he talks about it with a colleague in a museum, a pendulum clock stops, implying that it is like an omen, for which, worried, Merrin returns to Georgetown, a district of Washington, D.C. where another Jesuit father named Damien Karras suffers from the fact that her elderly mother lives alone in an abandoned apartment building in New York and cannot persuade her to go to a retirement home, where they can provide her with better care. After this, his brother takes her to a poor mental institution and dies shortly after, Karras blames himself and begins to doubt God and wants to be relieved of his duties as a psychiatric counselor at Georgetown University.
La historia comienza a dar un giro inesperado cuando una reconocida actriz de cine Chris MacNeil empieza a notar unos extraños comportamientos de su hija Regan quien apenas tiene 12 años, en lo cuál se puede apreciar problemas de comportamiento, carácter, metabolismo, entre otros, por lo cuál su madre y allegados que saben de su condición alegan que es normal que pasen ese tipo de cosas pues la niña está en su etapa de pubertad, sin embargo a medida que pasa el tiempo, estos comportamientos se vuelven más y más extraños, por ende su madre toma la decisión de someterla a unos exámenes médicos rigurosos con el fin de poder saber que le ocurre a su pequeña.
The story begins to take an unexpected turn when a renowned film actress Chris MacNeil begins to notice some strange behaviors of her daughter Regan who is just 12 years old, in which behavior, character, metabolism problems, among others, can be appreciated. which her mother and relatives who know of her condition allege that it is normal for this type of thing to happen because the girl is in her puberty stage, however as time passes, these behaviors become more and more strange, for Hence, her mother makes the decision to submit her to rigorous medical examinations in order to know what is happening to her little girl.
The problem is that despite the fact that the countless medical tests that Regan was given did not show any anomaly that could explain the events that he was going through, this is why one of the doctors suggests trying the exorcism, because it is a questionable method and has nothing to do with the facts denounced by the church, but from time to time such expulsion of the devil can eliminate psychosomatic disorders through suggestive effect.Desesperada y temerosa por su hija, Chris se vuelve hacia Damien Karras que inicialmente se niega a considerar siquiera el ritual medieval, pero Chris lo insta a mirar a su hija Regan terriblemente desfigurada, blasfema, obscena, gritando, babeando y retorciéndose, que ahora está atada a la cama.
Desperate and fearful for his daughter, Chris turns to Damien Karras who initially refuses to even consider medieval ritual, but Chris urges him to look at his horribly disfigured, blasphemous, obscene daughter Regan, screaming, drooling and writhing, who is now tied into bed.
Finally the bishop of the city agrees to perform the exorcism on the condition that it is carried out by an experienced priest like Lankester Merrin and that Karras only serves as an assistant, so both Jesuits begin to expel the demon that is possessing Regan.
Esta película es muy peculiar, su historia va más allá de un simple guion, y es que, durante las escenas que se rodaron hubieron muchos contratiempos, donde, ni siquiera los productores o actores pudieron explicar para esa época que es lo que había ocurrido, un set se incendio completamente y sin razón alguna, la iglesia católica no estuvo de acuerdo con algunas partes del guion por cuestiones de lo que consideraban como blasfemia, muertes repentina y un sin fin de eventos más, sin duda que no fue una película fácil de rodar, que a fin de cuentas rindió sus frutos y que hasta el día de hoy sigue siendo un film de gran impacto...
Y tú? te atreverías de verla sin compañía alguna en plena madrugada?🥶👻👻
This film is very peculiar, its history goes beyond a simple script, and is that, during the scenes that were shot there were many setbacks, where not even the producers or actors could explain at that time what had happened, a set burned down completely and for no reason, the Catholic Church disagreed with some parts of the script due to issues of what they considered blasphemy, sudden deaths and endless other events, without a doubt that it was not an easy movie to filming, which ultimately paid off and which to this day continues to be a film of great impact ...
And you? would you dare to see her without company in the middle of the night?🥶👻👻
