If today we have a lot of films to choose from when we want to shock ourselves beyond believe: from barely serious, yet distrusting films by
Eli Roth through intense hyper-violence by
Coralie Fargeat or depressing looks at the world by
Lars Von Trier all the way to deranged films like
The Serbian Film, in 1970s you had probably only one true contender for such a level of derangeness. And it was the
Tobe Hooper's 1974 film
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Red Sonja 2025 has good story but bad execution

I gave a look at the movie nobody seen in cinema this summer called
Red Sonja, because the main character is played by
Matilda Lutz, an
Emilia Clarke look-alike that was very good in a
Coralie Fargeat 2017 film
Revenge. You may know Fargeat from her other film
The Substance. Lutz was so perfect in
Revenge and
Revenge was so good, that I wanted to see more of Lutz. And then the trailer of
Red Sonja dropped, advertising it as a yet another revenge flick, this time set in a medieval fantasy world. So of-course I was hooked.

Revenge ( 2017 ) is a kind of movie Nicolas Winding Refn would masturbate to

Obviously I watched
Revenge because it was directed by
Coralie Fargeat, the director of current world-wide phenomenon
The Substance. Even though
Revenge is her directorial debut, I didn't not think it would be a bad film going into it, based on what I know about
The Substance. And my expectations were pretty much met exactly.

I am still unsure whether
Coralie Fargeat meant for
The Substance to be taken seriously or not. There was a similar misunderstanding when it comes to
Lars Von Trier's
The House That Jack Built, where the audience were laughing, unable to comprehend in the intensity of the film, while the director was dead serious. The experience I had watching
The Substance reminded me of this confusion. The film is so over the top, it beats the absurdity of
Sam Raimi's horror-comedies.

People often complain about dumb movies with too much unnecessary spoon-feeding. We get so much explaining and over-explaining that the brain hurts sometimes. You already know what is going on. You are following the story. You don't need no god damned reminder of what you are watching. And yet the studio heads still think that you are too dumb to understand what's going on in front of you on the screen.
Respecting the audience on the other hand is a leap of faith on a part of a film-maker and only the greatest do that well.
Quentin Tarantino with his 2019 film
Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood takes the hardest such leap of his career.
