Yes, you can see me writing about horror π¬πΉπͺπ±.
Although I was scared to death to watch it, I made a thousand excuses and I wasn't very convinced, I finally succumbed to this vibe that Netflix kept telling me: "Candle", "I chose it for you", "Nothing will happen" and here I am, speaking from the terror and disgust that caused me something that is not my style, but due to the past Halloween holidays, I had no other option but to get into this kind of drama and see how it went.
The Criminal Book Club (2023)
Si, como lo ven yo escribiendo de terror π¬πΉπͺπ±.Aunque tuve muchΓsimo miedo de verla, le saquΓ© las mil excusas y no estaba muy convencida, finalmente sucumbΓ a esta onda que Netflix me decΓa a cada rato: "Vela", "La escogΓ para tΓ", "No pasarΓ‘ nada" y aquΓ estoy, hablando desde el terror y el asco que me ocasionΓ³ algo que no es mi estilo, pero debido a las pasadas fiestas de halloween, no me quedΓ³ otra opciΓ³n que adentrarme en este tipo de drama a ver que tal me iba. El club de los lectores criminales (2023).
Well, horror, suspense, crime, it's not my genre, let's say crime, but not all kinds of crime. What I liked was that, as the name says, it was a book club. That still exists? and of young people? a relic.
I liked that part a lot because we can be glued to the internet and technological equipment but doing good things. I don't know how youth will function today in universities, but I liked that this one showed kids who read and have criteria of thought, imagination, analysis and sharing stories with each other.
I didn't find the plot that came together between them appealing and it didn't seem to fit, that is, the more characters, the harder it was to distinguish who was who. It was only in the 4th death that I was able to see who was who.
Assuming it's a low budget production (I said assuming), the blood effects seemed to me to be so acted out that they were disgusting rather than scary or frightening. Not that I expect the blood to be so real, but I felt like I was watching a bad 90's movie over there. In CSI it's more real π€£.
The other thing that let me down is that I already knew who the killer was. The typical guy who doesn't talk, the girl who lives attached to her boyfriend, the main character, the girl who doesn't appear much, they all have the look and the profile of being the killer or the murderer but I was discarding and after half an hour I knew who it was, so I had to watch a whole hour to confirm my theory.
There was only a moment where I doubted my enquiry and hypothesis but immediately, because of other films I saw, I knew what had happened (you have to see it because otherwise it's a spoiler that we don't like around here he,he,he,he). This filled me with excitement because I haven't lost my detective touch learnt in the series, but it was like aha? how did you not see it? Disappointment and me.
For a horror movie as it is promoted, I think it was full of good effects, the story and the motives of the killer were a bit twisted, but if we see it in this age of connectivity and technology it could perfectly happen, not on a large scale like here, but it can trigger actions or resentment for some action taken.
The sex scene, overacting, lies, I think they were not necessary, but let's say that this is how films are now that sell and we must consume them that way, but it seemed to me even filler and not that they gave meaning to what they really had to talk about which was the murderer π.
I don't recommend it, not even a little bit, for those people who watch good horror they would come and close my account; it's just that if what made me feel disgusted by some scenes, I don't think that counts as horror, so don't say I didn't warn you.
Bueno, el terror, suspenso, crimen, no es mi gΓ©nero, mejor digamos que el crimen si pero no toda clase de crimen. Lo que me gustΓ³ fue que como su nombre lo dice era un club de lectores ΒΏEso aΓΊn existe? ΒΏY de jΓ³venes? una reliquia. Esa parte me gustΓ³ mucho porque podemos estar pegados al internet y los equipos tecnolΓ³gicos pero haciendo cosas buenas. No sΓ© cΓ³mo funcionarΓ‘ la juventud hoy en dΓa en las universidades, pero esta me gustΓ³ que mostrara a chicos que leen y tienen criterio de pensamiento, imaginaciΓ³n, anΓ‘lisis y compartir historias entre ellos.
La trama que se uniΓ³ entre ellos, no me pareciΓ³ atractiva ni parecΓa que terminaba de encajar, es decir, entre mas personajes, mas se me hacΓa dΓficil distinguir quien era quien. Solo en el 4to muerto fue que pude ir viendo quien era quien. Asumiendo que es una producciΓ³n de bajo presupuesto (dije asumiendo), los efectos de sangre me parecieron tan actuados que daban era asco en vez de miedo o espanto. No es que espere la sangre tan real, pero me sentΓa viendo una mala pelΓcula de los aΓ±os 90 por allΓ‘. En CSI es mΓ‘s real el asunto π€£.
Lo otro que me defraudΓ³ es que ya yo sabΓa quien era el asesino. El tΓpico chico que no habla, la chica que vive pegada al novio, la protagonista, la chica que aparece poco, todos tiene la pinta y el perfil de ser el asesino o la asesina pero yo fui descartando y ya a la media hora sabΓa quien era, asΓ que me tocΓ³ ver toda una hora para confirmar mi teorΓa. Solo hubo un momento donde dudΓ© de mi averiguaciΓ³n e hipΓ³tesis pero inmediatamente por otros film que vΓ, supe lo que habΓa pasado (tienen que verla porque sino es spoiler que no gusta por aquΓ je,je,je). Esto me llenΓ³ de emociΓ³n porque no he perdido mi toque detectivesco aprendido en las series, pero fue como que ΒΏajΓ‘? ΒΏCΓ³mo no lo vieron? La decepciΓ³n y yo. Para ser una pelΓcula de terror como la promocionan creo que estuvo llena de buenos efectos, algo retorcida la historia y los motivos de la matanza, pero que si la vemos en esta Γ©poca que vivimos de conectividad y tecnologΓa perfectamente podrΓa pasar, no a gran escala como acΓ‘, pero puede desencadenarse en acciones o resentimientos por alguna acciΓ³n tomada.
La escena de sexo, sobreactuaciΓ³n, mentiras, creo que no eran necesarias, pero digamos que asΓ son los films de ahora que venden y nosotros debemos consumirlos de esa manera, pero me parecio hasta de relleno y no que daban sentido a lo que de verdad tenΓan que hablar que era del asesino π. Yo no la recomiendo, ni un poquito, para aquellas personas que ven terror del bueno vendrΓan y me cerrarΓan mi cuenta; es que si a mΓ lo que me dio fue asco algunas escenas, no creo que eso cuente como terror, asΓ que no digan que no se los advertΓ.
As always, I have to take something out of that hour and a half I lost there and I have several points. The first is the usual call that our young people see and make on the internet. It doesn't mean that just because they go to university, are independent and maturing, parents won't be watching who they meet or what they consume on the internet.
It has been shown that in the killings, perpetrators are always leaving clues on the internet about what they are looking at and what they are attracted to. This helps profiling and although the authorities are acting to block these sites, they always find ways to trick or be tricked and so we need to talk to young people about these dangers before it is too late.
Another point is bullying, which is everywhere, not only from students to students but also from teachers, because let's remember that we are now in an "adult age" and the risks of denunciations are less. Whatever the situation, it should be reported and justice should not be taken into its own hands because it can lead to unfortunate situations that could have been avoided.
Finally, if I would like to rescue the teaching through reading clubs, I will find out if in my city there is one or here in the communities I can join to share this passion, but as long as they are about unicorns that live in the meadow ha,ha,ha,ha, No suspense or the door opened by itself ha,ha,ha,ha.
Como siempre, algo tengo que sacar de esa hora y media que perdΓ de allΓ y tengo varios puntos. El primero es el llamado de siempre que ven y hacen nuestros jΓ³venes en internet. No significa que porque ya vayan a la universidad, sean independientes y esten madurando, los padres no van a estar pendientes de con quiΓ©n se reunen o que consumen en internet. Se ha evidenciado como en las matanzas, los victimarios siempre van dejando pistas en internet de lo que revisan y lo que les atrae. Esto ayuda a hacer un perfil y aunque las autoridades estan actuando para bloquear estas pΓ‘ginas, siempre encuentran formas de engaΓ±ar o ser engaΓ±ados y por eso debemos hablar a los jΓ³venes de esos peligros antes de que sea demasiado tarde.
Otro punto es el acoso escolar que esta en todos lados, no solo de los estudiantes con los estudiantes sino de los profesores, porque recordemos que ya estamos en una "edad adulta" y los riesgos de denuncias son menos. Sea cual sea la situaciΓ³n, se debe denunciar y no tomar la justicia por las manos porque desencadenan situaciones lamentables que se hubiesen podido evitar. Por ΓΊltimo, si me gustarΓa rescatar la enseΓ±anza a travΓ©s de los clubes de lectura, averiguarΓ© si en mi ciudad hay uno o acΓ‘ en las comunidades me puedo unir para compartir esta pasiΓ³n, pero siempre que sean de unicornios que viven en la pradera ja,ja,ja, Nada de suspenso ni la puerta se abriΓ³ sola ja,ja,ja.
So far I share with you my experience of watching a horror movie that I didn't like, so I'll stick to my genres that I enjoy and get a bit more out of them.
