Furie

Started off with a promising plot but ruined with a ridiculous ending with a bad guy who it appears could probably survive a direct nuclear hit. The acting was good enough. Gave it a five for the first half.

Of course this little French feature was in production in the same time of Korean's PARASITES, so I don't even think it was inspired from the Asian film. But the two movies have something in common, concerning some kind of home invading, though not in the usual straight way. It seems inspired from actual events,for the first part. And I think this kind of unbelievable scheme may happen from time to time. Incredible is the word. The movies changes of pace after the second third, to become an action horror thriller, but unfortunately with a totally f...up ending. In the pure Hollywood tradition, which is not a compliment.

I had the chance to watch this movie in the Motelx - Lisbon international horror film Festival with the director's presence.

The movie makes a good job of making the viewer uncomfortable by a situation that can happen to all of us: going on vacation this family lend their house to their sons's babysitter and her husband and on their return they find their home locked with the couple claiming themselves tenants. It is clear the social critic to the state system and their inability to look further at situations in a different perspective. Also and mainly, the director makes some statements in subjects as racism, genre, discrimination and lack of "masculinity".

It is a nice thriller but it seems that it is more focused on social critic than buillding tension as expected. Good actors, nice climax and very poor ending. Nice try, let's wait for the next one.

PS: At the end of the movie, there was this Q&A with the director and he wasn't very clear about some choices and claimed the last scene of the movie as his favourite.

Not the best movie, but not the worst either.

Yes, story is real as sad it could be- I know cases where in spain sqaters took houses and it took years of legal battles to take them back. It's absolutely ridiculous laws in favour of sqaters.

Had a lot going for it and I was all in until a little less than 2/3 in when it changed gears, became increasingly implausible and full of plot holes, and went full-on super-violent gore-horror, which is just boring to me.

Disappointing. As usual, naked women all over the place but the guys keep every stitch on. Sure this wasn't made in Hollywood?
