Maniac Tales (2016)
6/10
not really horror, but an interesting movie
8 August 2022
I liked the way this film was made, with the four different short maniac tales that juan watches while he has nothing to do. Skull of desire is like monkey paw and the makeup of the zombie type girl was nice. Overall not a very long section, but it shows how greed can make you corrupt. Then we had zimberlin. A very surreal looking film that was part animated with real life and was about a father and daughter looking for the man that did something bad. It was the best section of the film in my opinion and would watch a full film of it. The perfect moment was a little creepy about a man going on a date with a seemingly normal woman but things take a dark turn as we get to the end. Lastly we have. The visit. A man comes to look for a little girl that's chained in a basement but we don't know why. Really all four are well directed but I would have liked to see them be a bit longer. Finally the main section with juan the janitor who has to look for the writer of manic tales lost script this is pretty interesting and I like how it all ties together. Overall a pretty interesting film with some good acting which could be even better in a sequel.
