I just realized that it's been a while since I reviewed a romance movie. And it's also been awhile I've seen a romance movie. The day before yesterday, I happened to discover the third movie of the Spanish version of My fault was out. My fault is a movie, a trilogy based on a book with the same title. I immediately went to get the movie because I needed something sweet and light in my life this week, and going hand in hand with a Monday, I decided to watch a romcom. Would I consider it a terrible decision making a Monday a whole lot worst by watching a romcom? Not entirely, if it's good then it's like sending thousands of butterflies my way, pulling the corner of my lips upward every awkward and single time. But if it's a horrible romcom, then my Monday goes head fast into doom, chaos, boom.

The title of the three movies goes like this: My fault, your fault and Our fault. Watched the whole three movies and I still couldn't figure out who's fault it was? Has to be mine, I thought at one point.

I think I reviewed the London version of the first movie this year, sometime around April. But I will give it a brief through for those who have no idea what I'm talking about. My fault is a love story between two step siblings, Nick and Noah. Nick Leister is a millionaire,(billionaire) heir and his father recently marries Noah's mother, making her part of the family. But when Nick and Noah meets, there's a tension between them, a connection. At first, none of them understands what's going on and they steer clear, firstly because of the fact that they were practically siblings now. But that doesn't stop them, not really. They end up falling in love with each other, invoking a spicy display of forbidden love. And if you think that's bad, you should read Credence by Penelope Douglas. It's worst and I have in no way exaggerated.

Anyways, our fault is the third and final movie and I'd say it was a let down compared to the other two movies. Things were moving too fast, and they were just trying to fit too many things within the almost two hours run time. Which was clearly not enough, but I do realize why they did that and what they had in mind.

The story of the movie is a simple, forbidden, spicy and wanted. Dragging it takes away the value and make it boring in the eyes of viewers. A clear example is After. After was such a good movie series but it fell off when they started bringing more and more. And more and more never makes a lot of sense like the first and the second movie. This happens 90% of the time. I am holding on so tight from keeping myself from revealing any spoilers. But overall, I will rate this last and finally movie 3, stars out of 4. And that's me being generous.

Thanks for reading.

Okay... full disclosure: When I first heard about this kdrama, I thought "Time travel, palace kitchen, cooking magic and romance? Feels like a rehash of Mr. Queen or something". And I doubted it would hit as hard. I was wrong, though. From the very first episode the drama had me hooked, and there wasn't a single boring part in it. I mean it. Every dish, every palace scene and every moment was just beautiful to watch.

I was lying down with my phone, watching the drama, and was like "just one more", then I said "okay, I should just watch the next one". Before I knew it, I had watched half of the series in one go. The series had me laughing, but also left me on edge in anticipation of what would happen next. I wasn't checking how many minutes was left in the episode, which is actually rare for me.

The Plot

Bon Appétit, Your Majesty tells the story of Yeon Ji-yeong. A modern-day, brillant chef who suudenly finds herself in Joseon era. One minute she's winning competitions and boarding a plane back to korean, and the next, she's in the 1500s trapped in a hunting net.

Then there's the current King of Joseon - Lee Heon. He is known for his tyranny, his pride and obession with tastes. But everything changes when Ji-yeong stepped or rather, travelled back into his world. Her modern cooking methods and tastes confuses everyone, but they also awaken something new in him. He then made her the Palace's Chief royal cook. She was to cook everyday for him.

My Thought and Rating

What I loved most was their romance. It wasn't rushed and it wasn't all sugar either. Every glance, every unspoken word and every meal between them carried emotions. Their chemistry reminded me exactly why I fell in love with kdrama in the first place - that slow and patient build-up that makes your heart ache in the best way.

And can we talk about how beautiful the scenes were? The food scenes are pure art. Like do people actually decorate and serve their food in such way?. Every food scene made me hungry, for real. The storyline and portrayals were superb as well.

Of course, the drama wasn't just romance. There is palace politics, betrayal, power struggles - all the things that make a historical kdrama shine.

Still, I have to admit, I was already sad and angry when I got to the last episode. I really thought they deserved a proper happy ever after. It felt unfair that they had to part ways... but then that last twist - when the king meets Ji-yeong again in the future - completely got me. I still have questions on how it happened but let's leave that for now.

I would rate this series a 9.5 out of 10. It was indeed a heartfelt, rich and refreshing watch. Bon Appétit, Your Majesty didn't just show us a story. They cooked one, seasoned it, and served it up hot. The series made me laugh and I cry. And by the time it end, I literally just sat there smiling at the screen like I had won a lottery. The drama was an absolute masterpiece. Like I said earlier, it had not even a single boring, overdo or unneccessary moment - not even the romance, nor the politics or family drama.

So, if you're wondering if this kdrama is worth your time, the answer is yes, yes and yes.

Thanks for reading.

Hola mi gente bella, un gran abrazo para todos, les deseo una feliz semana para todos, asi que bueno empecemos con la ediciòn del dia de hoy.

Marielena es una telenovela venezolana producida por RCTV en 1981, basada en una historia original de Inés Rodena; la adaptación incluye a guionistas como Manuel Muñoz Rico, Ligia Lezama, José Simón Escalona y Alicia Barrios.

Protagonizada por María Conchita Alonso y Jean Carlo Simancas.

-Título: Marielena. -Canal: RCTV. -Año estimado: 1980 a 1981. -Guion & Adaptación: Inés Rodena (historia original), Manuel Muñoz Rico, Ligia Lezama, José Simón Escalona, Alicia Barrios. -Protagonistas: María Conchita Alonso (Marielena), Jean Carlo Simancas (Daniel). -Tema Musical: ¿Pero qué quieres de mí? compuesto por Hugo Carregal

Marielena es una joven humilde, honesta y bella, que vive en los barrios de Caracas. Tras un trágico suceso en su pasado —es víctima de un ataque sexual—, su vida cambia para siempre. El destino la lleva a conocer a Daniel, un joven de familia muy rica, con quien nace un amor profundo. Sin embargo, Marielena descubre que Daniel es hermano del hombre que la agredió. Decide denunciar a ambos, pero Daniel resulta inocente.

Marielena y Daniel se casan, pero el matrimonio dura poco. Marielena deberá someterse a terapia con un psiquiatra para liberarse del trauma del pasado antes de poder rehacer su vida plenamente con Daniel.

La historia ofrece una combinación potente de melodrama emocional con conflicto real: el trauma, la violencia sexual, la clase social, la culpa, la redención. Esto le da un peso mayor que muchas telenovelas románticas de la época.

María Conchita Alonso como Marielena da vida a un personaje que sufre, se transforma, que no solo busca amor sino también sanación personal. Jean Carlo Simancas como Daniel representa el galán tradicional, pero con la complicación de la revelación familiar que afecta su relación.

La producción se beneficia de temas fuertes (violación, familia adinerada vs pobreza, trauma psicológico) que no eran tan comunes en algunas novelas de ese tiempo. Le aporta un tono más serio y emocional.

Sin embargo, esa misma seriedad pudo haber sido un reto para ciertos públicos que preferían tramas más ligeras o tradicionales; el tema del ataque sexual y la terapia pueden haber causado incomodidad en ciertos sectores de audiencia.

Es relevante también el hecho de que esta historia servirá de base para adaptaciones o versiones posteriores (como por ejemplo la novela de 2009 Calle Luna, Calle Sol es una adaptación libre de Marielena).

Marielena es una telenovela destacada porque trasciende el puro entretenimiento sentimental para involucrar emociones más intensas y cuestiones sociales profundas. Es de interés tanto por su valor dramático como por su contexto en la historia de la telenovela venezolana.

Es un dramatico ejemplo de la televisión de principios de los ochenta que la tv empezó a tocar temas más oscuros, reales.

Bueno mi gente espero que sea de su agrado esta ediciòn la cual es un drama increible, la versiòn del 2009, para mi es una de las mejores que hoy en dia puedo seguir viendo, pero claro salio de aqui de Marielena, por eso esta telenovela paso a la historia. Bendiciones.

Pyre (S02E08)

Airdate: March 15th 2017

Written by: Robin Veith Directed by: Kenneth Fink

Running Time: 44 minutes

By mid-Season 2, The Expanse had firmly established itself as television's darkest space opera, teaching viewers that in this meticulously crafted universe, the most extremely unpleasant things could happen to multitudes of innocent people with terrifying regularity. This series' unflinching commitment to portraying the brutal realities of its colonised Solar System had been cemented with the shocking conclusion of Dulcinea, the very first episode, and continued when Eros incident unfolded with devastating consequences. While this grim tone remained consistent throughout the season, certain episodes plunged viewers into even deeper moral abysses than others. Pyre, the eighth instalment of Season 2, stands as one such episode—a profoundly unsettling yet masterfully executed chapter that simultaneously ranks among the strongest episodes of the entire season. It achieves this distinction not through grand space battles or political machinations, but by focusing relentlessly on the human cost of cosmic-scale conflict through the eyes of an ordinary man caught in the maelstrom.

'The Seventh Man', the preceding episode, frustratingly withheld direct depiction of the Ganymede incident, opting instead for indirect exposition that left viewers piecing together events through second-hand accounts. Robin Veith's script for Pyre brilliantly compensates for this narrative gap by introducing Dr Praxideke Meng (Terry Chen), a major character whose connection to the catastrophe is devastatingly personal. Unlike the hardened military personnel and political operatives who dominate The Expanse's landscape, Meng is a botanist—gentle, intellectual, and utterly unprepared for the horrors unfolding around him. Injured by falling glass when one of Ganymede's agricultural domes collapsed, he awoke from a coma aboard a Belter refugee freighter, surrounded by destitute survivors and consumed by a single overwhelming concern: the fate of his young daughter Mei (Leah Jung), whom he last saw moments before the disaster struck.

The episode's emotional devastation begins when Doris (Grace Lynn Kung), Meng's Martian-acquainted colleague, offers him a clue that proves utterly crushing—Mei's clinic in Sector 4 was completely destroyed during the incident, and his daughter is almost certainly dead. As Meng struggles to process this unimaginable loss while Doris urges him to start anew with her on Mars, another atrocity unfolds before his eyes. The ship's crew, operating under the pretext of transferring passengers to another vessel, separates its human cargo between Belters and "Inners" (Earth-born and Martian citizens). Meng, being born and raised on Ganymede, is at the last moment told not to join Doris as she and numerous others are led toward an airlock. The scene that follows is among the most horrifying in the series' history—Meng's helpless witnessing of Doris and others being callously spaced into the void, their desperate pleas cut short by the vacuum of space. When the ship finally reaches Tycho Station, Meng, still in profound shock, attempts to share his horrific story with authorities who dismiss him, preoccupied with matters they deem far more pressing.

Meanwhile, the Rocinante crew faces its own fractures. Following Dawes' abduction of Cortazar and successful escape from Tycho Station, the rift between OPA leadership and Fred Johnson becomes increasingly public. Within the crew itself, tensions surface as Holden belatedly admits his desire to kill Cortazar and prevent another protomolecule horror, while Naomi continues concealing her knowledge of the protomolecule container's whereabouts. When Holden theorises that some remnant of the protomolecule might still exist, Naomi reluctantly participates in triangulation efforts, only to discover—to her utter horror—traces of the alien substance on Ganymede itself.

This discovery makes it painfully clear that the protomolecule, directly or indirectly, played a role in the Ganymede catastrophe. The search for Protogen's involvement leads the crew to Dr Lawrence Strickland (Ted Atherton), a company employee working on Ganymede as a paediatrician who had been scheduled to examine Mei Meng. Further investigation of security footage reveals both Strickland and Mei leaving the clinic well before the incident occurred—a tantalising suggestion that both might have survived. The Rocinante crew resolves to return to Ganymede to investigate further, with Meng—having previously collaborated with Strickland on botanical research—eventually agreeing to join them as their guide, clinging to the faint hope of reuniting with his daughter.

Before the Rocinante can depart Tycho, another crisis erupts. Dawes' inflammatory speech, accusing Fred Johnson of being an Earther incapable of properly representing Belter interests despite his best intentions, incites OPA extremists like Staz (Alden Adair) to attempt a coup and seize control of Earth's thermonuclear missiles acquired during the Eros incident. Though Drummer (Cara Gee) refuses to support Dawes' rebellion, her subordinate Edin (Kevin Claydon) joins Staz and his cohorts in capturing Drummer, Johnson, and the station's control deck. When Johnson refuses to surrender missile codes, Staz shoots Drummer in the stomach and begins torturing her. The coup ultimately fails when the Rocinante crew intervenes, cutting off air supply to the control deck. The plotters lose consciousness, allowing Drummer's rescue. Defying her injuries, Drummer staggers to her feet, retrieves a weapon, and delivers brutal justice by executing Staz and Edin. Though grateful, Johnson informs Holden's crew they will no longer be welcome on Tycho Station.

Pyre succeeds magnificently because, for the first time in The Expanse's ultraviolent epic, the story is told primarily from the perspective of an ordinary person untouched by military training or political ambition. Meng's sole motivation isn't revenge, power, or ideological victory—it's the profoundly human desire to reunite with his daughter and find some semblance of meaning amid senseless destruction. Terry Chen's exceptional performance embodies the first major character who isn't a military veteran, police officer, or hardened labourer, but rather a gentle scientist and devoted family man thrust into circumstances far beyond his experience or comprehension. This ordinary perspective makes the horrors he witnesses even more impactful, as viewers experience the brutality of this universe through eyes unaccustomed to such violence.

This perspective renders the spacing-out scene particularly harrowing. Having barely survived the Ganymede collapse and processed the apparent loss of his daughter, Meng is forced to witness his friend Doris being murdered with casual cruelty. What makes this sequence especially disturbing is how the Belter crew employs methods chillingly reminiscent of Nazi tactics used to deceive victims into gas chambers—same perfidious language, same genocidal hatred justifying the vile act. Directed with unflinching realism by Kenneth Fink, this scene ranks among the most disturbing in the series' entire run, precisely because it's viewed through Meng's horrified, uncomprehending eyes rather than those of a battle-hardened soldier.

There is remarkably little space for humour or levity in Pyre, creating an atmosphere of near-constant dread that only finds temporary equilibrium when the OPA coup plotters receive their just deserts. The sequence where Drummer, despite severe abdominal injuries, staggers to her feet to personally execute her attackers is particularly cathartic—a rare moment of visceral satisfaction in an otherwise relentlessly grim episode. Drummer's defiance of pain and insistence on delivering justice with her own hands provides a powerful counterpoint to Meng's helplessness, demonstrating different responses to trauma within the same brutal universe.

If Pyre contains any flaw, it might be in the suggestion of Mei Meng's survival, which could strike some viewers as a slightly "soapish" copout in an otherwise uncompromising narrative. The revelation that Strickland extracted Mei from the clinic before the collapse introduces a narrative thread that, while necessary for future plot development, momentarily threatens to undermine the episode's otherwise unflinching commitment to portraying irreversible loss. However, this minor quibble does little to diminish Pyre's overall impact, as the episode wisely keeps Meng's hope tentative and fragile rather than presenting it as guaranteed salvation.

Ultimately, Pyre stands as one of The Expanse's finest hours precisely because it refuses to look away from the human cost of interplanetary conflict. By anchoring its narrative to Prax Meng's ordinary yet extraordinary journey through unimaginable trauma, the episode transcends science fiction tropes to deliver a profoundly moving meditation on parental love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of cosmic-scale indifference. It reminds us that behind every casualty statistic in The Expanse's meticulously constructed universe lies a story as heartbreaking as Meng's—a story of ordinary people navigating extraordinary horrors with nothing but their humanity to guide them. In doing so, Pyre deepens our emotional investment in this universe and elevates The Expanse from compelling space opera to essential, unforgettable television.

Caught Stealing is one of those movies that sounds way cooler in theory than what it actually delivers on screen but I still like it enough to give it an 8/10 something that is weird no this post there is going to be a love and hate, not saying its bad but damn its such a weird experience watching this thing, like you are suppose to laugh and you do but its like some scenes start great and in the middle they screw it up and I dont know if all this was on purpose because there are still certain aspects of the movie that are very controversial like clothing, Math Smith character looks, the cat Bud. Darren Aronofsky doing a Guy Ritchie style movie sounds good on paper except the big problem here is the movie never fully commits too being one or the other, your left with something that feels like two different movies fighting for screen time. Austin Butler is carrying this entire thing on his back, I mean that literally, the dude is in every single scene doing heavy lifting, he does an amazing job playing this regular guy named Hank, used too have dreams about being a baseball star back in high school, talks too his mom on the phone about the San Francisco Giants, watches games at work, lives a pretty simple boring life until everything goes too absolute hell. The whole mess kicks off because Hank agrees too watch his neighbors cat named Bud, neighbor is this punk rock British guy named Russ who needs too go too England, his dad is sick or dying or something like that, sounds simple enough until suddenly Hanks getting his ass kicked by Russian mobsters, these guys beat him so bad he loses an entire kidney because they thought he was running away with their money, wakes up in the hospital confused as hell, now hes trying too figure out where some mysterious key is hidden for a locker that holds $4 Million, people around him keep dying left and right, the body count piles up, Hank is stuck in the middle of this shit storm he didnt ask for.

Rottentomatoes Rating

Source The movie takes place in 1998, it really does feel like the late 90s with actual cameras from that era, he nails that late 90s vibe completely, no cell phones anywhere, Twin Towers still standing in the New York skyline, everything looks kinda grainy, like your watching something that was buried in a time capsule for twenty five years. But the movie at certain point gets lost and real messy with the tone, sometimes the movie is trying too be funny, sometimes its trying too be dark, sometimes its both at the exact same time, those two tones just dont blend right so easy, its like oil and water, its like watching a comedy that suddenly turns to aggressive, insults can be funny but only until a certain limit, not that they were just insulting each other but just as an example, the movie goes to both ends of the rope and never stays in the middle. There are moments where I was laughing at something Austin Butler said, he does have a comedy side that suits him depending on the script but this time the movie doesnt help that much when all of the sudden something brutal happens, someone gets shot in the head, the cat gets kicked by one of the Russian guys, I am sitting there going wait why did they cut off the scene this way? they just ruin it, is this suppose too make me laugh? because it cant be both sick to the stomach and funny, neither one is working the way it should. The pacing in the middle section drags quite a bit too, no way around that fact, theres this whole chunk where Hank is just running around New York, trying too piece together what happend the night he got blackout drunk, he lost the key somewhere, cant remember where he put it, I guess this is part of the journey that at times felt they were completely lost waiting for something interesting too happen, they are basically scavenge hunting, rinse and repeat for like twenty minutes straight. Matt Smith plays the neighbor Russ, who they marketed him in the trailers like he was gonna be a way bigger part of the story, I like Matt Smith alot from many of his roles but mostly from HOTD, the guys got range, does his punk rock British guy thing, mohawk, leather jacket, but over all he doesn't get too much screen time, such a waste of a good actor who could of added way more too the story.

The cat honestly gets more screen time than half the human characters, Im a cat person and love "Bud" with his hurt paw, his attitude, its like the movie wanted you to care more about the cat than anyone else, thats not a good sign when the animal is more interesting. Zoe Kravitz plays Hanks girlfriend Ivonne, they have great chemistry together in the early scenes, they do care for each other, you want too see them figure there shit out, she wants him too stop drinking, face his past traumas, hes trying but keeps falling back into old habits, even sounds familiar so at least it work for me, here is the part, until now you can tell how there are some aspects of the movie that I love and others I just hate and still like the movie. Next is exactly a moment I hated and its she getting killed halfway through the movie, it feels like such a waste of a good character, we barely got too know her beyond being the supportive girlfriend, she had this whole backstory about being something medical related, she just dies and becomes motivation for Hank too keep going. The action scenes are fine but nothing special if we are being honest here, theres a foot chase through Chinatown that looks cool, Austin Butler jumping over stuff, sliding under things, a car chase that ends with Hank crashing into stuff, nearly dying, even some shootouts in a bar that get bloody fast, all this scenes felt very creative but just that cool scenes, its like the movie is a bunch of clips, I would have prefer if they gave more character build up to Russ and kept him with Hank, but for the most part the movie is fueled by guild, running from your past mistakes, those two things dont always mix together too well.

I will say the ending does land properly and almost makes up for some of the earlier problems, Hank finds out that the two Jewish hitmen killed Ivonne, collateral damage too send him a message so here is whe he snaps, crashes the car there all riding in, straight into a concrete pole at full speed, kills them both instantly, really brutal scene and its hilarious because its like he when through literally his worst nightmare crashing again, its like he finally said screw it I need to crash again so I can get over with like this time he did something good on the same act, taking responsibility for his actions even if that means becoming a killer himself, it works as a character moment even if it feels a little too neat. He ends up escaping too Mexico, all the money stuffed in a bag, the cat tucked under his jacket, sends half the cash too his mom, then he is just sitting at a bar on a beach somewhere warm, watching baseball on TV but he turns it off, hes finally ready too move on from his obsession with what could of been. Its a solid ending, gives Hanks journey some closure but also leaves you wondering if he actually changed for the better or choose violence over his soul, if he just became more numb too everything after all the violence, all the death he caused, but this might be just me trying to over complicate things but honestly Butler has given us this kind of complex and deep characters in the past where he plays them out awesome but the ending felt more like I just watched something that was almost great but fell short. Overall Caught Stealing is a fun movie to watch, you are going to laugh and feel for the characters, specially for Bud, its not peak crime thriller but its something in between that doesnt always work, Austin Butler is fantastic, carries the movie even when the script lets him down, the 90s setting is done really well, great attention too detail everywhere you look, there are enough interesting ideas here too keep you engaged, even when the execution felt flat at times, I would still give it a weird 8 out of 10, for this weird movie that is worth watching once especially if your a fan of Austin Butler.

Hay una serie de documentales que se ha ido estrenando en Netflix, todas llamadas Fiasco total, y cada una referida a un evento que se consideró desastroso o peculiar. Ya he visto varias, y a mi parecer son bastante entretenidas. En este caso, el documental se refiere a un meme viral que tomó por asalto Facebook en su momento. Se estrenó este año, siendo director Jack Macinnes.

There is a series of documentaries that has been released on Netflix, all called Trainwreck, each referring to an event that was considered disastrous or peculiar. I have already seen several, and in my opinion, they are quite entertaining. In this case, the documentary refers to a viral meme that took Facebook by storm at the time. It was released this year, directed by Jack Macinnes.

Sinopsis: Matty Roberts, un joven adicto al shitposting en internet, decide crear un evento en Facebook, donde llama a asaltar el área 51 y revelar lo que hay dentro de ese misterioso lugar. Lo que no se esperaba, es que su pequeña broma se volviera uno de los memes virales más llamativos de la internet, que puso en alerta al público, al pueblo cerca del área 51 e incluso a los militares.

Synopsis: Matty Roberts, a young man addicted to shitposting on the internet, decides to create an event on Facebook, where he calls for an assault on Area 51 to reveal what is inside that mysterious place. What he did not expect was that his little joke would become one of the most striking viral memes on the internet, putting the public, the people near Area 51, and even the military on alert.

El documental logra dar un acercamiento cronológico de todos los eventos que comenzaron a ocurrir, desde el posteo del evento en Facebook hasta lo que ocurrió llegada la fecha. Se entrevistaron a varios involucrados: militares, habitantes de la zona, gente que buscó sacarle rédito, influencers y el protagonista principal Matty Roberts.

The documentary manages to give a chronological overview of all the events that began to unfold, from the posting of the event on Facebook to what happened when the date arrived. Several people involved were interviewed: military personnel, local residents, people who sought to profit from it, influencers, and the main protagonist, Matty Roberts.

El asunto es divertido, por lo inédito, y que similar a una bola de nieve, el meme se acabó haciendo más y más grande. Matty si bien no buscaba crear nada tangible al comienzo, comenzó a desarrollar un posible evento musical, y quizás volver el meme una realidad. También vemos el lado contrario, de gobierno y autoridades, preocupados de que tan real se podría volver esa “invasión”.

The subject matter is entertaining because it is unprecedented, and like a snowball, the meme ended up getting bigger and bigger. Although Matty did not seek to create anything tangible at the beginning, he began to develop a possible musical event, perhaps turning the meme into reality. We also see the other side, that of the government and authorities, concerned about how real this “invasion” could become.

La edición es excelente, la sucesión de eventos se siente bastante dinámico, y por mi parte acabé el documental rápidamente. Lo único malo, es que ciertas situaciones no se llegan a esclarecer del todo.

The editing is excellent, the succession of events feels quite dynamic, and I finished the documentary quickly. The only downside is that certain situations are not entirely clear.

Si te interesa ver como un meme pasa de broma a un posible evento catastrófico, debes ver este divertido título.

If you're interested in seeing how a meme goes from a joke to a potentially catastrophic event, you should watch this entertaining film.

Calificación personal: 6.8 de 10.

Personal rating: 6.8 out of 10.

Hello! 💙

Fuente de imagen Cuando vi la verdad es que la sinopsis de esta película incluso cuando vi la imagen promocional debo decir que no se me antojaba para nada verla tenía pinta como estas películas de terror serie B que son sumamente malas pero al punto que ni siquiera dan risa pero que equivocado estaba porque si viene una película de terror de bajo presupuesto no puedo decir que sea cerebe porque las actuaciones están muy bien logradas la historia está llevada de forma excelente los efectos especiales prácticos incluso uno que otro efecto especial hecho por computador está muy bien logrado.

When I saw the synopsis of this film, even when I saw the promotional image, I must say that I didn't feel like watching it at all. It looked like one of those B-grade horror films that are so bad they're not even funny. But how wrong I was, because even though it's a low-budget horror film, I can't say it's trashy, because the acting is very well done, the story is excellently told, the practical special effects and even the occasional computer-generated special effect is very well done.

Fuente de imagen Una de esas películas que me sorprende que no haya sido más conocido por el público porque de hecho tiene bastante gore tiene una historia bastante sólida tiene incluso momentos intercalados con animación especialmente cuando cuentan flashback lo cual le da un impacto bastante bueno la película, Y si bien sigue una historia lineal de una madre con su hijo la cual acaba de perder este mismo a su padre, la historia también se nos va poniendo en pie alrededor de la historia de otros niños y también la historia del propio antagonista, y todo esto enriquece muchísimo la trama Es verdad que los giros de trama más esperados o qué pero ese es el plot twist de la película, son la verdad es que fáciles de notar pero no deja de ser una muy buena película de terror.

One of those films that surprises me that it hasn't been better known by the public because, in fact, it has quite a bit of gore, it has a fairly solid story, it even has moments interspersed with animation, especially when they tell flashbacks, which gives the film quite a good impact. And while it follows a linear story of a mother with her son who has just lost his father, the story also revolves around the stories of other children and the story of the antagonist himself, and all of this greatly enriches the plot. It's true that the most anticipated plot twists, or rather, the plot twist of the film, are easy to spot, but it's still a very good horror film.

Fuente de imagen Si tuviera que ponerle algo negativo a la película es que el trayecto inicial de la película cuando comienza es muy impactante pero después los próximos 15 minutos tal vez 20 minutos pueda parecerles un poco lenta pero es porque la historia busca de tomar forma y no simplemente buscas una historia gore porque sí o busque ser una historia con susto fáciles y de hecho creo que la película como tal no aterra O no asusta pero si tiene momentos bastante gripes especialmente con estas criaturas que ellos llegaron a hacer con efectos especiales prácticos, Si tuviera que dar una puntuación diré que es un 8 de 10 la verdad es que es bastante bueno y sorprende.

If I had to find something negative to say about the film, it would be that the beginning is very shocking, but then the next 15 or 20 minutes may seem a little slow. However, this is because the story is trying to take shape and is not simply looking for gore for the sake of it or trying to be a story with easy scares. In fact, I don't think the film itself is terrifying or scary, but it does have some pretty gruesome moments, especially with these creatures that they created with practical special effects. If I had to give it a score, I would say it's an 8 out of 10. The truth is that it's quite good and surprising.

Synopsis :

Dr Rowan Fielding (Alexandra Daddario) is a neurosurgeon in San Francisco. When her adoptive mother's cancer returns, they talk again about Rowan's biological parents. The adoption agency mentioned by her adoptive mother did not exist at the time of her adoption. So Rowan decides to search through her mother's documents to find clues. Rowan is very talented in her profession, but she also feels she has an ability she cannot control, which can cause fatal injuries to anyone who angers her. She therefore wants to meet her biological family to better understand what is happening to her and, perhaps, learn to control it.

La Dr Rowan Fielding (Alexandra Daddario) est neurochirurgienne à San Francisco. Quand sa mère adoptive fait une récidive de son cancer, elles reparlent des parents biologiques de Rowan. La société d'adoption mentionnée par sa mère adoptive n'existait pas au moment de son adoption. C'est ainsi que Rowan va décider de fouiller les documents de sa mère, afin de trouver des pistes. Rowan est très douée dans son métier, mais elle ressent aussi une capacité qu'elle ne contrôle pas et qui peut provoquer des lésions fatales chez la personne qui la met en colère. Elle souhaite donc rencontrer sa famille biologique, afin de mieux comprendre ce qui lui arrive et, pourquoi pas, de le contrôler.

Her research takes her to New Orleans, where a photograph reveals that the house pictured belongs to the Mayfair family, rumoured to be witches.

The first Mayfair witch lived in the Middle Ages. She made a kind of pact to help and protect herself, but this pact came at a price, which subsequent generations are still paying today. Is this protection and help worth the price?

Ses recherches l'amèneront à la Nouvelle-Orléans et grâce à une photo, elle apprendra que la demeure y figurant appartient à la famille Mayfair, dont les rumeurs racontent que ce sont des sorcières.

La première sorcière Mayfair vivait au Moyen-Âge. Elle a fait un genre de pacte pour s'aider et se protéger, mais ce pacte a un prix, que les générations suivantes payent encore aujourd'hui. Cette protection et cette aide valent-elles le prix à payer ?

My opinion and useful information /Mon avis et petites infos :

The Mayfair house seen in the series belonged to Anne Rice at the time of the publication of The Witching Hour (volume 2 of the Witch series) and the following volume, and this house is located at 1239 First Street (New Orleans).

Anne Rice was born in New Orleans on 4 October 1941 and died in California on 11 December 2021, aged 80, following a stroke. She is buried in the family vault at the New Orleans cemetery, possibly the one seen in the series.

In this series, we move from one era to another. While for some eras, such as the Middle Ages, this is quite obvious, for others it is less so.

I can't say whether I liked it or not, although I did appreciate the originality and complexity of the script and the story.

La maison des Mayfair qu'on voit dans la série appartenait à Anne Rice, au moment où ont été publiés L'Heure des Sorcières (tome 2 de la saga des sorcières) et le tome suivant, et cette maison se trouve au 1239 First Street (Nouvelle-Orléans).

Anne Rice est née à la Nouvelle-Orléans, le 4 octobre 1941 et est décédée en Californie le 11 décembre 2021, à 80 ans, des suites d'une attaque cérébrale. Elle est enterrée dans le caveau familial au cimetière de la Nouvelle-Orléans, peut-être celui qu'on voit dans la série.

Dans cette série, nous passons d'une époque à l'autre. Si, pour certaines époques, c'est assez flagrant, comme pour le Moyen-Âge, pour d'autres, c'est moins évident.

Je ne saurais dire si j'ai aimé ou pas, même si j'ai apprécié l'originalité et la complexité du scénario, de l'histoire.
