Sentire definire un film
"un nuovo capitolo del filone horror spagnolo" mi inquieta.
Non quanto un finanziere che annuncia
"tranquilli, è solo un banale controllo fiscale" o qualcuno che grida
"oh no... i libici!", però mi inquieta parecchio.
Deadly Cargo (precisa traduzione di
Cámara oscura) si inserisce degnamente nella parte più bassa di una classifica che già non elenca grandi capolavori (si salva
Apri Gli Occhi e poco altro).
Una manica di fessi vanno al largo per una immersione subacquea quando, con notevole acume, danno fuoco alla barca che esplode manco fosse stata alimentata a plutonio. Dopo qualche ora a mollo riescono a salire come clandestini sul suddetto
Deadly Cargo dove un gruppo di imbecilli più grandi dei nostri eroi cercherà di stanarli (inutile dire che facciamo tutti il tifo per i cattivi).
Il resto della trama è un riempitivo per arrivare al punto in cui la produzione ha finito i soldi per la pellicola.
Recitazione pessima, regia idem, trama pietosa e zero tensione e colpi di scena (oddio, l'omicidio della donna a sangue freddo non è male, ma è l'unico episodio decente)
Il risultato finale è un film più patetico di prodotti già scarsi come
Nameless e
Darkness.
Per i cultori del trash, segnalo un altro film spagnolo, vero capolavoro assoluto di non-sense da vedere ad ogni costo (meglio in chiassosa compagnia):
Tuno negro. Film SPETTACOLARE nella sua demenzialità.

Trama:The mutilated body of a six year old girl is found in a water hole. The girl is identified as the missing daughter of Claudia. However, only two peices of evidence could be used to identify her; a bracelet with her name on it near the crime scene, and the fact that her right leg was three inches longer than her left. All other methods of identification were removed from her body. Five years later Claudia, now addicted to tranquilizers, receives a phone call from someone claiming to be her daughter, asking for her mother to come find her before 'they' kill her. Other mysterious clues show up, further indicating that Claudia's daughter is indeed still alive, and very much in danger. Claudia, a run-down ex-cop, and a parapsychology reporter put together the clues to discover Angela's whereabouts.

Trama:There's something in this house... Something ancient and dark that remains still, hidden and silent. It can only wait, having been concealed in the shadows for years. In fact, its milieu is darkness. Only in it can it show itself and move. It even takes its name: DARKNESS. It's lived here since someone tried to call it, more than forty years ago.

Trama:An imprisoned man hides his face behind a mask is telling his story, as a flashback, to a psychiatrist: his name is César, he is an orphan but he had inherited a fortune from his parents, and he used to live in a luxurious house of his his own. He was also very handsome and a renowned womanizer. His best friend, Pelayo, was jealous of César because he was not very successful with women. But one night, Pelayo showed up in one of César's parties with a beautiful woman named Sofía. When César met her and talked to her for a while, he began to feel something he had never felt before: love. And, although she was supposed to be Pelayo's girlfriend, he tried to woo her, spending that night at her home. But Nuria, with whom César had his last affair, was very jealous; she went to pick him up in her car the next morning, and committed suicide by ramming it into a tree. César survived the crash, but his face was hideously disfigured, his handsome looks gone. Doctors said they couldn't help him. He was very depressed and still in love with Sofía. One night he went out with her and Pelayo, and he felt that they were very uncomfortable with his presence. But the morning after, his luck seemed to change completely: Sofía came to him, saying that it was he whom she really loved, and the doctors called him and told him that, with a revolutionary new technique, they could rebuild his face, which they did. César was happier than ever, but that's when the really strange and scary things started to happen...and César found out that the real nightmare had only just began for him....
