Things Heard and Seen, the new movie starring Amanda Seyfried, 2021

Things Heard and See was classified as terror, but for me is classified as Crime. 



To understand the human mind in take decisions. For good or bad. How people use their free will. Main the psychos. I'm learning a lot because I'm surrounded by psychos here, since Bulgaria. That's my interest to expose these assassin's method. The result is they have no methods, they take chances the victims give in some fragility events, but one thing is certain, they do not like people to expose them, they prefer to kill than to pay for their crimes. So they torment you until they get a chance to kill, maybe to justify their crimes. For these criminals the only goods are themselves. 

One more interesting movie from Amanda Seyfried . It's like the movie Abandoned style, but with no happy end this time. 

                                                                                                Amanda Seyfried

They bought a haunted house with her husband George, starred by James Norton and daughter, but her daughter was seeing a woman's ghost everyday before sleeps. The history of the ghost was hidden, her husband didn't tell her. So, she agreed to live there. 

The woman didn't go to heaven. Her presence was turning off and on the lights in the girl's room. The important to say here is the woman had black hair, it's not of the Angels line. 🤷

Her husband George, was working during the day as a teacher while she was caring of the girl. 

Once again the neighbours introduce themselves, this time two boys offering any help she may need. 

The ghost appearance intensificates and she decides to open the matter to her husband's boss who wrote a book about Heaven and He'll and ghosts. 

They decided to make a session to the ghost from the house. It works and they received confirmation of the woman's presence who fast disappears in the air. The ghost is suffering and seems to be tormented by a dark matter who stops her to communicate with the live ones or go there to take her out of the house. It's like the same dark matter who got inside Will in Strangers Things.

In the meantime she was not with her husband, he met the girl from Stranger Things Natalia Dyer, Willis. They met in the library which was friend from the boys who offered help in her house.
They were seeing each other and he started to dislike his wife. She discovered his infidelity and takes revenge with one of the boys.

 The star of Stranger Things Natalia Dyer

                          
A bird sees it and in the next day destroyed her window at night. 

Her husband also got exposed by his boss because the job position he took was a fraud made by himself.
He killed him in the lake while was trying to convince him to help instead. He didn't accept it, so he decided to kill. 
Another stone in his path was Justine, Rhea Seahorn, the feminist now Catherine's friend who discovered his infidelity. She suffers an accident by car at night, after went out his house. They had a fast chat and she goes. I believe the guilt to be the girl he was involved with because she discovered that the scarf she was wearing belongs to him.

The news of the tragedy got in the newspaper and Catherine connects her husband and try to run with her daughter from the house at night. George discovers and decided to kill her, he gave her drugs so she fell asleep. He then kills her with an Axe. He calls the police and forges the evidences of her death.

You know here i don't give any chance! 🙌

It's a great movie: 

Rating: 10 stars. 

Until next review.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, 1996

This version is very interesting. The cast chose the Book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, by Seth Grahame Smith's. 


It happened in England, in the 19th century, but the movie was filmed in 1996. 





They were 7 sisters but two got infected. They are different from the original Bennet's, the girls are warriors, they had to learned martial art to fight against the undead. People in England got bit by a kind of zombie, it spread fast and only a few humans were in the final fight to survive. They say that is Black Plague, but for me is a variation of Vampirism or by the animals or water infected. They can be infected by many channels.



In this variation people have conscious and they can communicate normally. They even went in the Church to pray. 




Some of them were against their survival, but they had the support of a hidden zombie, Sr. Wickham interpreted by Jack Huston, who was hiding his truly motivations. Mr. Darcy killed him in a battle.



Some of them are very pale, their skin is not so fresh and bright.

Elizabeth is interpreted by Lily James, in a modern version, independent and strong. She is incredible smart and she fell in love with Mr. Darcy here interpreted by Sam Riley, the same actor who did Mr. Favell in Rebecca's movie. 


Her skills are very impressive, she managed to defeat a giant, the body guard of the Queen Lady Catherine, interpreted by the actress of Game of Thrones, Lena Headey. I like her very much, good to see her alive. She challenged Lisa to not marry Mr. Darcy, but she said, i will not give up on him and this was a big motivation to win this fight. 


"I do not know which i admire more, Elizabeth Bennet, your skill as a warrior, or your resolve as a woman". 

"Zombies Aristocrats?"

After the dark time the happy couples said YES. 



Rating: 10 stars.

Ratched, Netflix 2020


 If you want to live a long life, run from Ratched.

 Ratched is a Prequel (upgrading) of the Movie One who flew the Cuckoo's Nest, a movie from 1962.

The Psychiatrist Nurse Ratched, starred by the actress Sarah Paulson is a masterpiece. Manipulative, cold and calculist, she will not let you scape, unless you are her brother, the assassin of 4 priests. 

Trailer


In 1947, Mildred arrives in Northern California to seek employment at a leading psychiatric hospital where new and unsettling experiments have begun on the human mind. On a clandestine mission, Mildred presents herself as the perfect image of what a dedicated nurse should be, but the wheels are always turning and as she begins to infiltrate the mental health care system and those within it, Mildred's stylish exterior belies a growing darkness that has long been smouldering within, revealing that true monsters are made, not born. "Netflix"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The doctor refuses to hire her, but to get in she used chantage against one of the employees.

The doctor Richard Hanover was trying a new method to find the cure of the mind diseases. He tried the brain perforated method, with the persuasion of Ratched, and the result was of course, a murdered person. They late tried the Lobotomy method, in a dead body, which Ratched reproduced late in the last priest, the witness of her brother's murders. 

Ratched was responsible for at least two deaths directly. One she persuaded to suicide. All the patients that went inside where reasonable people with some character disfunctions, but with the time they changed inside. One of the patients was gay and they putted her inside a hotter water treatment and after the torture, she said to them that she would not be gay anymore. 

The series is an adaptation of the novel "One Who flew over the Cuckoo's Nest", 1962 by the writer Kesey, an American novelist. They have Louise Fletcher as the first nurse, she is totally different from the actual Ratched. She was really patient and even if they destroyed the hospital and Jack Nicholson almost killed her, she was still in the same position, of helping them.  In 1975 the movie was considered one of the best movies ever made. I think there these patients were really crazy, but also they showed some normality, different from the Ratched patients. I believe they have some education problems or traumas, that's why they act this way. There are cases you see, some people really do not react to the treatments. 




Sharon Stone, has a participation in the series, her son was a patient of the Doctor Richard, but a terrible episode of murdering doomed her son and he cutted his own legs and arms, that's was what the doctor said. After that, she hired a man to kill the doctor, but the rented assassin was killed in the hot chamber by Ratched. 

Rating: 10 stars

See you!

Previously she was not so certain because in her words Mr. Darcy was a very proud man. She got to know him better and said to her father that they are very similar. 

To bring the harmony for the family behind is Mr. Bennet, the father, always giving good advices and supporting Mrs. Bennet's anxieties, that was constantly preoccupied if they will manage to marry good husbands, that was all she was concerned about. Time was running for them.

Here she is giving her father the good news, he was very emotional and happy for her. The feeling of loose a daughter, the routine and the happiness of a full house is coming to the end. 

In their culture is very important the girls to marry in time and with husbands with good fortune, it's well seeing in the society. 

It's interesting how the villages in England society lives, how they are so natural with their feelings and this book and movie shows how they were concerned with this matter. 

This movie can be indicated to teenagers, to prepare them to their future and also teaches good manners. 

Rating: 10 stars.
