Into the Darkness

Max SchindlerMovie reviews
Through a family and the relation between father and son, the film describes the dilemmas of the Danish population during World War II. Like the government, the farmers and the industry, the father, a successful owner of a big electronics factory, tries to make the best of the situation to keep the wheels rolling. However this leads him into a problematic collaboration with the Germans. His son, on the contrary, reacts against the increasing oppression and persecution of jews and communists by joining the rising resistance movement.Rated: Not RatedRelease Date: May 21, 2021

Resident Evil Infinite Darkness: When Does the Netflix Series Take Place?

New DVD release, , , , ,
The latest trailer for the Netflix original animated series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness reveals even more of the upcoming adaptation, but it doesn’t really help to answer the question that’s on many Resident Evil fans’ minds: “When does Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness take place?” While even a quick dive into the Resident Evil timeline can give you a headache (just take a look at this), more people than ever seem to be interested in the Resident Evil chronology after Resident Evil Village‘s ending clearly referenced key events in the RE franchise and arguably positioned the series to “return” to that…

The Sons of Sam: A Descent into Darkness Review – Exhaustive Look Is Long Overdue

New DVD release, , , ,
Netflix‘s new docuseries The Sons of Sam: A Descent into Darkness aims to restructure a deeply ingrained story. New York City’s most notorious serial murderer wasn’t a serial murderer after all. If David Berkowitz was part of a team of street level satanic power brokers, the entire story is a false narrative. The Sons of Sam: A Descent into Darkness is an impressive entry in the true crime documentary premiere run at Netflix. It focuses on the work of journalist Maury Terry, whose investigation into the Son of Sam case was criminally sidelined. Terry was convinced that convicted lone serial…

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness Animated Series Coming to Netflix in 2021

New DVD release, , , , , ,
During the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom revealed that a new Resident Evil animated series is coming to Netflix in 2021. Described as a CG anime horror series, the upcoming Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness will follow Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they embark on a journey that will “reveal a Resident Evil world unlike anything seen before.” Sadly, Capcom isn’t revealing many of the finer points of the show’s plot at this time. What we do know is that Infinite Darkness is being produced and supervised by Capcom’s Hiroyuki Kobayashi who has been involved with the Resident Evil series…

The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Episode 7 Review – Last Exit to Brooklyn

New DVD release, , , , ,
This The Alienist: Angel of Darkness review contains spoilers. The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Episode 7 It’s hard to believe, but we’ve already reached the penultimate hour of The Alienist: Angel of Darkness. It’s unclear as to why TNT wanted to burn through the series with two episodes a night; perhaps the network knows the show will do better on streaming platforms and is just speeding up that arrival. Regardless, we’re at the end of the line for this season and though there’s been some missteps along the way, solid performances, immaculate production design, and a dash of campiness has…

The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Episode 8 Review – Better Angels

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This The Alienist: Angel of Darkness review contains spoilers. The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Episode 8 If the penultimate episode of The Alienist: Angel of Darkness kept up a spirited pace with a heavy tone, then the season finale “Better Angels” doubles down, providing more thrills, heartbreak and another clean, definitive ending for our characters. Though Kreizler’s arc felt rushed due to his uneven placement this season, John, Sara, and even side characters like Lucius and Byrnes see satisfying conclusions to their stories. The episode is also carried on the backs of Emmy-worthy performances by Dakota Fanning and Rosy McEwen,…

The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Episode 5 Review: Belly of the Beast

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This THE ALIENIST review contains spoilers. The Alienist Season 2 Episode 5 After the best episode of the season, The Alienist: Angel of Darkness mainly plays their criminal pursuit of Libby straight, adhering close to the procedural structure that works, but doesn’t necessarily excite. Though a spooky atmosphere is built, which helps create some palpable tension, this episode mainly focuses on Sara in Super Detective mode. When “Belly of the Beast” does take some bold creative swings, digging into the character work that often elevates the show, some of the season’s cracks begin to appear. The episode opens on Libby…

The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Episode 6 Review: Memento Mori

New DVD release, , , , ,
This THE ALIENIST review contains spoilers. The Alienist Season 2 Episode 6 The Alienist: Angel of Darkness has a problem. The problem isn’t the fact that, just like the season prior, the series revealed the identity of the killer at the halfway point of the season, although it definitely zaps the mystery out of the proceedings. No, the issue with this current season is the fact that the titular character, Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, no longer fits into the story. Maybe they should have just called the season Angel of Darkness.   At a certain point in “Memento Mori,” Sara emphatically…

The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Episode 4 Review: Gilded Cage

New DVD release, , , , ,
This THE ALIENIST review contains spoilers. The Alienist Season 2 Episode 4 After two weeks, we’re already at the halfway point with The Alienist: Angel of Darkness. It’s still a mystery as to why TNT is blowing through original programing when every content provider is about to be facing a drought in the months ahead. However, what IS NOT a mystery is who murdered Martha Napp’s baby. As predicted during the previous episode, there was something off about nurse Libby, and she proved it in “Gilded Cage” by attempting to murder an undercover Bitsy and by successfully offing the matron.…

The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Episode 3 Review: Labyrinth

New DVD release, , , , ,
This THE ALIENIST review contains spoilers. The Alienist Season 2 Episode 3 Rarely does a crime show build to a satisfying reveal if the series settles in on its first suspect, then reveals that suspect to be the killer. That’s why despite the circumstantial evidence pointing at the matron, Dr. Markoe’s right hand woman at the Lying In Hospital, it seems almost too obvious that she’s the culprit. However, the episode certainly wants you to think that the barren, slightly crazy-eyed matron has kidnapped the Linares baby, with a lot of “Labyrinth” dedicated to investigation and plot. However, the final…

The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Episode 1 Review: Ex Ore Infantium

New DVD release, , , , ,
This THE ALIENIST review contains spoilers. The Alienist Season 2 Episode 1 Times have certainly changed. I’m not comparing today’s world to that of 1897; the scenes in the premiere of The Alienist: Angel of Darkness featuring police brutalizing innocent protesters highlights that society hasn’t evolved that much. No, I’m talking about the world in which The Alienist’s first “event” season arrived in compared to the TV landscape that the second outing arrives in today. The Alienist’s first good, not quite great, season was dinged for arriving in a crowded pack of shows with similar subject matter or period settings.…

The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Episode 2 Review: Something Wicked

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This THE ALIENIST review contains spoilers. The Alienist Season 2 Episode 2 “Get in good trouble. Necessary trouble,” is a famous quote from the late civil rights leader and United States politician John Lewis. Since his passing this week, the quote has been on my mind, for a variety of reasons, and I thought about it again watching “Something Wicked.” Sara, John, and Laszlo are experts at creating necessary trouble, but it certainly attracts attention and enemies. We know that former police chief Thomas Burns isn’t fond of our central trio, but now they’re attracting the ire of the infamous…
