Zombie o witches Salem is a small town known for the fact that in the 17th century there were large covens of local witches, later hanged in the amount of 19 pieces in 1692. Nowadays, the radio station where the main character works, comes vinyl with a recording of the melody from the mysterious group
"Lords of Salem", which in a week should give a concert in their city. When listening to this melody on the air, many women of the local settlement experience strange feelings.
Witches, witchcraft, Satan and other demons - well, the old man did not get there. After all, he was good at slashers. The same super-dark, depressive and even a little scary "
Halloween 2007" or crazy "
Expelled by the devil" - worthy representatives of the genre. It's kind of weak. If there are no special claims to the audiovisual component, because it is filmed very well, then they are available to the plot. It looks more like a long crazy clip with a set of shocking shots and inserts of not very important dialogues than something holistic. Of course, Zombie wanted to shoot something authorial and unusual and judging by the reviews, some people saw something in it, but I unfortunately did not. It was hard to watch, the action did not delay and I was able to master it only in two runs. Sadly, I was waiting for this picture.
There are pros too, of course. As I wrote above, everything is well filmed, it does not look like thrash. Good camera work and good effects. Music is from Mozart to this really creepy Salem witch tune. Acting - with the naked eye it is clear that the wife of the director Sheri Moon with each of his new films plays stronger and stronger. Bruce Davison and three mature ladies were also remembered.
I will advise only fans of non-standard, author's horror. And it is not a fact that you, being such, will be delighted with this tape. In general, strictly on the amateur it is a spectacle.
