De nombreux amis et connaissances ne comprennent pas comment je peux aimer les films d'horreur. Pourquoi je me soumets volontairement à quelque chose de négatif selon eux, quelque chose qui me rend mal à l'aise et me fait peur. En vain, j'essaie de leur expliquer que les films d'horreur ne sont pas négatifs pour moi, que je ne me sens pas mal à l'aise après les avoir vus et que je suis seulement un peu plus « sensible » à leur égard, ce qui est encore plus vrai pour des drames de qualité, qu'ils regardent aussi. J'essaie de leur expliquer que l'horreur est un divertissement de genre, basé sur l'intelligence du réalisateur jouant avec le spectateur, avec ses émotions et en même temps avec la forme cinématographique, qui exige beaucoup plus d'innovation que les meilleurs drames relationnels. Je peux regarder cinq films d'horreur par jour et trente pendant un festival de cinéma. Cela me passionne encore plus et me rend encore plus vorace. Parce que je veux vivre dans le monde fantastique de l'imagination illimitée de leurs créateurs, qui en termes de diversité n'est égalé que par le genre de la science-fiction. ____ Mais pour moi, l'horreur dans le même sens que le perçoivent tous ces opposants qui ne comprennent pas le genre de l'horreur, ce sont des choses comme cette mini-série. Construite non pas sur l'imagination de cinéastes créatifs et enthousiastes, mais sur une base réelle qui dévoile de manière documentaire une anomalie incompréhensible, un élément nuisible incarnant l'horreur ultime et le mal. Des choses comme cette série, je n'ai besoin de les voir qu'une fois par an. Avant cela, c'était le film hongrois Le Fils de Saul qui reflète également la réalité et qui, ironiquement, ne porte pas le qualificatif « horreur » parmi ses genres officiels.

A crime documentary from Netflix about the hunt for a notorious serial killer who terrorized Los Angeles in 1985, killing in the name of Satan. Three hours of suffocating and unpleasant material about Richard Ramirez, who oozes evil miles away. It is interesting that this guy killed without any pattern. He raped old, young, women, men, and even children, and only a few people were only attacked. It is not pleasant to watch, the crime scene photos are very brutal, the dialogues are impressive, and the collection of evidence is incredibly demanding. It watched in one breath. It is really very good and definitely a must for fans of serial killers and gritty crime. 8/10.

It reminded me a little of Fincher’s Zodiac, and I’m not speaking so much about the formal aspect, but about the feeling that watching both films evokes: the repeated frustration in the face of an inhuman enemy who doesn’t follow any rational pattern and leaves almost no clues that would allow to put a stop to their almost mystically terrifying actions. But whereas Zodiac casts doubts and deconstructs the procedural investigation, in this case, the killer was caught and the process results in oppressive satisfaction. The creators manage to tell a fairly intimate story about two police officers who almost never closed their eyes during the investigation and feared for the lives of their families, and, through the often brutal nature of the crimes and the amount of period material, the viewer is unknowingly forced to relive that atmosphere (on which Zodiac greatly relied) inside their own head. They also tell the events chronologically and we look at the murders according to when they were motivationally connected to key suspects, which works well to keep the curiosity about which of the trails will eventually lead the detectives to the tireless maniac. The range of motivations around the entire case is extremely complex and they not always manage to bring them to life – some of the testimonies are not very constructive, while others are hurt by tedious re-enactments (this format should provide a continuous flow of information connecting the hypotheses of the time with a retrospective reflection in various thematic circles), but the documentary is still very well structured and holds your attention from the first to the last minutes (which is also aided by the smart dosing of key twists and the questions at the end of each episode, in the style of a serial narrative). I didn’t even mind the high degree of subjective opinions or the occasional glorification of law enforcement officers that pushes aside the deeper emotions – but it’s not about psychology, it’s a description of exhausting procedures, and I quite liked it. 85%

A delicacy of a documentary that will resonate with you long after watching it. Such horror simply won’t evaporate from your mind, unfortunately. The audiovisual treatment of this documentary is among the very best, with little competition in this regard (the comparison to Drive is not entirely off; it has something in common with it). The style captivated me, with the two main detectives and numerous journalists, witnesses, and survivors discussing this monster, all complemented by real photos from those horrific places where the chilling murders took place. Plus, it’s so wonderfully edited that it only enhances the final, intense impression. As the series progresses over four episodes, you, as a viewer, know that the noose is tightening around the main murderer and that he will be caught soon (I enjoyed how each episode ended with a minor cliffhanger, making it hard to resist the urge to start the next episode). Since I knew nothing about this dreadful year in LA, I was left with my mouth agape at the various twists. It offers emotional moments, a suffocating atmosphere that will make your blood run cold... It provides everything that a proper documentary on this topic should. So, it’s five stars. 9/10.
