The weekend is the perfect time for pure escapism: movies that take us to distant places, fantasy worlds… or impossible nightmares. Whether you are still on vacation or if you are passing fatigue between sweat, asphalt and work, we offer you three ways to escape from the routine, the conventional and the everyday. Today normalcy is not tolerated.
Tales from the Crypt: Devil Knight
We all long for the sensational ‘Tales from the Crypt’: straight-up, bloody, darkly humorous horror stories presented by one of fantasy television’s most memorable creatures. Its success was such that it made the leap to the cinema, with this story of people locked up and harassed by demons (commanded by none other than the great Billy Zane), with biblical edges and many special effects, latex and bad drool. Horror of the old school for a fast-paced and tremendous demonic infected movie.
double world
Chinese bombastic action expert Teddy Chan (director of Donnie Yen’s films such as ‘Kung Fu Jungle’ or ‘Bodyguards and Assassins’) commands this blockbuster based on a hugely successful MMORPG in China, ‘Zhengtu’, the subject of great controversy for its ruthless mechanics pay to win. In this fantasy adventure we will enter the world of the ten nations, where a military leader organizes a tournament to find great warriors to protect him from an external threat. Action, special effects and magical creatures in a movie that is pure Saturday afternoon.
Mr Link. the lost origin
If typical computer animation overwhelms you (even if it comes from the expert hands of Pixar or Disney), give Laika a try, a studio specializing in stop-motion that has already given us works like ‘Coraline’ or ‘Kubo and the two magic strings’. This ‘Mr. Link’ was a resounding box office flop totally unjustified, because it retains all the adorable charm of Laika’s best productions. In it, the strange Mr. Link hires two experienced explorers to help him locate his missing relatives.
