THE WRETCHED (2020) el fenómeno de taquilla en cuarentena – Review sin spoilers

Hello welcome to CANNIBAL COFFEE i am
MAU – I am ROB – and today
we have THE WRETCHED the phenomenon of box office in quarantine – we start
what if after there is supposed to be
many open cinemas, there are actually
very few around the world,
this movie called THE WRETCHED is
because being a phenomenon in the United States because it is earning the box office of the few
rooms that are open in that country.
This movie that is directed by
brothers Brett and Drew Pearce is their
second movie the first one was called
Deadheads made in 2011 and is about Ben a teenager embittered by the recent
separation process from their parents that
travels in the summer precisely home
from his father to live with him for
vacation while working at the
dock, serving tourists.
As the days go by, the boy
discover that an ancient witch has
possessed to her father’s neighbor so
which this witch intends to kill him before
for the young man to find out and expose what
what happens in the house next door.
It is a film that has
atmospheres, theme and structure that evokes a
little to the cinema of the 80s.
In an interview precisely

that
gave the two directors confirm this
feeling that has been given to the public
because they say the movie has direct influence from movies
as 1935 Fright Night directed by
Tom Holland, The Thing directed in 1982
by John Carpenter from the movie Rearl
Window of 1954 directed by Alfred
Hitchcock and Alien 1979 directed by
Ridley Scott, they say those are
his greatest influences on
have written and directed this movie.
It gave me a personal feeling
that it evoked a bit of
1987 The Lost Boys movie
directed by Joel Schumacher, sorry
you have like the same kind of
atmosphere, the same kind of rhythm
even of structure, that even though
those movies that I mentioned,
except for Rear Window and
Alien, the eighties have as
a lot of this use of terror and comedy.
In this movie there is no comedy but if
there are times when you relax a
little attention with the story of
teenagers but it has such
like a very marked eighties vein.
I don’t know about you ROB like what about you
did you remember? To which movies?
Well, MAU reminded me of the Fright Night movie and something mixed there with what
is this the hole in the ground of the year
past there is an idea
of a witch or a theme
mysterious about a forest, come on, I know
did something like a mix because
wear that eighties line and
more because of what Ben is going through
seeing the neighbor right? but also
catches me by the issues of the
technology, about the use of the internet and
the baby monitor which
is the only thing they use. From there on out
well it’s not funny at all
it is the opposite
very serious, it has its arguments
very well posed and clear
that there are other arguments
like you say: what
Why is this happening? not? but already in the end
clarify why not? – yes, it turns out that
the movie feels like they cut him out
a lot in the first half, it feels like
if they were compacting the so that the
movie was not heavy and had a
very good rhythm. There are precisely moments
in which we suddenly see
situations that appear out of nowhere
but later they are explained. I could even assure that in some
first edition of the cut were given
note that the film took a long time and
they started trimming it without removing the
information that somehow
turned into a hole in the plot. Without
However, I think it tells the story well,
is well told and you also have to
think that in this movie the witch has
a supernatural element a power that
ends up helping
to understand these holes that at
beginning of the film could
manifest as missing
information, as if it had been clipped.
So the fact of the powers of
the witch helps her a little
structure of the film. Is a
movie that I think you will like
to three types of audiences, the first one
it may be that of horror fans
of red bone, it will
like it but you will not be fascinated
actually on social media I started to
see some criticism of people there
said the movie was fine but
it could improve. And that’s how the
classic opinion of people who is
specialized in horror cinema.
I repeat, it is a movie that works at
many levels. For the viewer
that consumes terror but in a way
casual you will like it a lot because
the film is very well written, it has
very good rhythm, it has very good
performances and mythology
of the witch is explained quite well.
Apart from that it has good scares,
very well executed and nothing
free. And for him
spectator who is alien to the cinema of
terror because you can see it without problems
because even though it has gore
and some deaths
that they are tragic and that although not
they look exactly on screen but they
suggest very well as to what is going on
It is something that will not disturb you
the nights, however if you are going to
put in context of the plot in terms of
how crude this character can be
the witch as for the story.
I think the film, although having
taken IFCfilms is a very
good bet they’ve started to
explode in this in this
quarantine the fact of putting it in
available movie theaters which
they are very few, and in drive-ins
because this is a movie is
practically made
independent with very little money.
Directors to do
This film comment that it is
based a lot on the work that
they saw boys with their father.
Her father was the creator of the effects
hands-on in the Evil Dead movie from
Sam Raimi from 1981 and that’s why they
they are supposed to have access to the cinema
from a very young age. In addition to that his
father was dedicated to making transfers
movies to VHS on
decade which is why they say that
they were privileged to receive
many movies that I still don’t know
sold or not passed in video stores and
have them in your home. They say that
The first ones they remember were
Star Wars movies then you
become like this kind of
moviegoers like Tarantino who seeing
a lot of movies are dedicated to
suddenly to a film career
that with this movie I think that
it’s not a start because your second
movie but it doesn’t look bad at all its
race. The truth is that the movie
it is very well told it solves very well
the witch’s mythology raises a few
pretty interesting twists, the last one
I think it comes out personally for me
left over the last turn however not
uncomfortable, the film has very good
rhythm has a very good structure,
I repeat, it has no comedy even though
It has moments that it relieves a little
terror with the story of
teenagers concept
romantic of teenagers which is very
light, not at all mellow and I think
well it is very very well told, to me
I was very pleased to see a
film that I feel fresh in the sense
what is a
commercial. I repeat is not like The Witch nor
It’s not like Lighthouse, it’s not like Midsommar
nor is it like these movies of
art house that have been seen
during the last 10 or 15 years of cinema
horror however is a movie
commercial I think it works
pretty good right?
if it really works
very well this type of movies,
deaths you are not
witnessing if they don’t suggest them to you, like
well you just commented, but I don’t know
makes you boring neither nor
is done to you as well as Jump Sacare as
that of The Nun or Annabel, all these films that for
make you jump and be with some
nightmares at night right? not this movie,
on the contrary, let’s say, if you see the
witch they didn’t need anything digital if they
you’re looking like this – sure, everything is practical
– in the form of how it moves
the witch is awesome love it me
loved this movie – yes very good
resolved the situation of all the
monster, very well designed, which the
we really stand out a lot and that is
too
it might be for another matter, the
film cost very little money, the
movie was made with 66 thousand dollars or
be a very very small amount in
comparison of any cost of any American film and the
film began to be released in theaters
filmmaking just in May the
film had the first 12-screen screening
and as the weeks went by
on weekends, the truth is
that word of mouth helped a lot until
reach a total of 99 screens this
weekend that has just passed.
This between movie theaters and drive-ins
so after six weeks of
be at the forefront in the box office because
becomes a million 110 thousand dollars
just last weekend, with what
which has raised a lot
money and they even say that it has
broke some records like titanic
and of these movies that have been
kept for many weeks in the
first place but you have to admit
which is the only movie that is
right now in theaters then that record to
it is irrelevant to me. Which
makes me very positive is the collection that with only 99 rooms collects
$ 1.11 million is a lot
money to have only 99 rooms and yes
help the pandemic, help that is the
only premiere that is
in theaters in the us but it is
a milestone because the film yes
it does work commercially and
works very well – yes and let’s say
this also from the drive-in movies right?
– what is an option
But notice that the most relevant thing in this is
that the actors are unknown,
is the strongest point – and that
the situation for which I don’t think
they hoped to give it a global premiere
and here at this moment of the gang
they said well let’s launch it see
how are you doing with 12 rooms and you
they started to realize that it worked
very well until I get back to 99 rooms
this weekend that just happened.
Yes, and these actors after a while
we will see in good movies because
as this movie was already a milestone
because they are going to say who is the oriental girl,
well with oriental features, the mother, who is Ben, will start looking for them
It happened with Midsommar right? the girl who came out there is the girl who now comes out as the sister of
Black Widow in the new movie
Black widow
even the witch right? – If then
if you can launch your careers but
I repeat I think it is a very good
example of a movie for very
small that is and that has a cast
unknown if it works
commercial can raise a lot but
a lot of money, the movie too
is available on video on demand or
either by digital direct purchase or by
rent via amazon and itunes etc. I know
they have to start distributing in
Latin America but at
have practically released
simultaneously in rooms and in version
digital because the film is a milestone,
raised a lot and is doing very well
good giving a very good race to
these Pierce brothers who are
proving they make a horror movie
quite effective, I repeat, maybe it is not
ideal for a specialist viewer
in horror movies, however you have to
recognize that it is better than many of the
movies for example from the universe of
James Wan, you’re from The Sorcery.
This movie works much better than
those and did not need, as well
You mention ROB, from a recognized cast.
With unknown actors but doing
well your work the movie is very
effective right?
Yes, you can see that the movie
they really put a lot of love and a lot of work into what
they put us in this movie,
but if I really loved it,
I would recommend it too much.
I am ROB
