Emma (Megan Fox) is unhappily married to a top lawyer (Eoin Macken). The morning after the eleventh wedding anniversary, the woman wakes up handcuffed to her husband’s corpse and immediately realizes that she is at the center of a terrible revenge by the man who had promised to love her “until her death do us part.” .”
With a handful of actors and the camera almost always on the good Fox, Till Death has the undeniable advantage of keeping us on our toes from the first to the last framein addition to making us feel very coldgiven that the story takes place in winter, near a frozen lake, inside a freezing chalet with the protagonist in bare feet.
A hero that already from his gaze communicates his to us uneasehis phobias, but also his Force and determination not to become a victim. And in doing so it keeps us by his side during a ruthless game of cat and mouse, in which she should be doomed to succumb slowly and in the worst way.
At this point it can not surprise us that the work directed by Scott Give it – here in his directorial debut (!) – has received comments positive from critics it’s a considerable support aside of the public (on Rotten Tomatoes garnered a staggering 90% approval rating). His film is one of those projects that with a couple of caveats he could have to aspire to the top step of the podium. Because the thriller and horror genres go hand in hand – on the other hand the director himself confirms that he has taken as a reference Hitchcock How much Stephen King – as well as action And suspense is balanced avoiding to prevail one over the other.
Above all in the second part, some reactions of Emma are irrational blowing up the identification of the user who remains disoriented and uncomfortable: the woman’s choices are not the right ones or, at least, the ones the viewer would have liked to make. And this brings down the tension, which then needs its time to return to normal. In some cases, she finds herself yelling at the television in the hope that the poor thing will take our advice, which could be a ‘experience, but we are not sure it is the one wanted by the production. Not to mention that, once we get to the moment the plot reveals itself, the question arises: Was all this mess really necessary?
Some forcings have probably been introduced to favor the surprise effect rather than logic, but it is a pity that they have hindered a good project in achieving excellence. Nonetheless fun is guaranteed. It stimulates discussion and provokes emotions. So… mission accomplished!
Vissia Menza
Thanks to the press office for the iconographic support and the opportunity.
Ennio Flaiano loved to remember that “Cinema is the only form of art in which the works move and the spectator remains motionless.”, and it is Vissia who accompanies us with passion and sensitivity in the thousand facets of an art in motion. But not only. A tout court guide, competent and prepared, a lover of beauty, which she writes from the heart and transforms emotions into words. From cinema to painting, with a watchful eye for theater and literature, V. pleasantly forces us to run to admire an excellent film or an unmissable exhibition, a brilliant show or a good book. Getting carried away in her reviews is really easy, missing a screening she recommends should be prohibited by the penal code. If someone asks her: but which side are you on? Her answer is only one: “I’m with Spok, I love the Enterprise and I’m a fan of Star Trek”
