I had seen a fragment of this short film before, I didn't imagine I would find it by chance, I gave it a chance, it was really interesting to see the dreams of an astronomer, it seemed like a funny situation but each scene had a fantastical essence.

Blood for Dracula 1974
"Blood for Dracula" is a horror film that offers a unique and fascinating take on the iconic character of Dracula. In this version, the Count is not the imposing and dehumanized being we are used to seeing. Instead, he is presented to us as a more humanized, even pitiful being, who desperately seeks to find virgin blood to survive, which leads us to a new concept where he could only live on virgin blood, an interesting but unfortunate concept for…

Mermaid 1997
Alexander Petrov’s “The Mermaid” (1997) is a short film that took my breath away. The technique used – hand painting on glass – is truly unique and makes each scene look like a moving piece of art.
I did some research on the technique and was amazed at the eloquence and work that was put into each scene. The images look like they are straight out of a museum, where art comes to life. The artistic animation is fluid and…

Serial Experiments Lain 1998
Serial Experiments Lain, is and will be absolutely an anime very ahead of its time, and also alludes to a current digital concept based on speculations of the past about technological advances and their establishment in society and how human beings have not developed with the digital concept. The series anticipated technological advances in reference to virtual reality, but at the same time delved into deeper themes such as identity within a digital world and how it seems that your…

Pan's Labyrinth 2006
Definitely dark fantasy, I had really avoided seeing Pan's Labyrinth just because Paleface disgusted me a little, but after avoiding it for a long time I decided to see it. It was a good decision. I loved the soundtrack, it is so fantastical, it gives the sensation of levitating in a lucid dream.

Afro Samurai 2007
"Don't you know that absolute power leads to ultimate peace?"
In Afro Samurai I found that time flew by, the plot absorbs you in this world in the characters, in the fight that Afro faces to achieve his great goal leaving havoc in his personality and his way of life, if I have to highlight the action scenes are so well choreographed that it looks so fluid to look at, it is not a pile of men falling, but each…

The Last Unicorn 1982
The film is absolutely beautiful in several aspects, highlighting the fluid animation and a range of vibrant colors that differentiates each character and scene. I really liked the soundtrack, although sometimes there was a long silence of dialogue to give way to around 5 minutes where the main theme was heard. The lack of dialogue seemed to me to be an important factor in why the relationship between the prince and the unicorn was not deepened, Apart from that, I loved everything, but what captivated me the most was how wonderful the animation of the unicorn was, its colors and its delicacy.

Stalker 1979
Stalker is a rather complex film to understand if you are looking for something to see that is superficial you must keep in mind that the concept requires a lot of analysis, the characters' monologues are bathed in rich philosophical thoughts of life, where the nature of human desires is questioned, and what the subconscious believes to have hidden. From the beginning the three characters demonstrate the phases of skepticism, on the one hand the stalker is the one who…

All of Us Are Dead 2022
It took me a long time to finish this drama, I started it a long time ago but never finished it, now I have watched it again from beginning to end.
Koreans in general have a very well structured concept of zombies as seen in other movies, I definitely liked this one a lot, it has a balance between the adrenaline-pumping action of fighting zombies in a school (personally I think it's something we all fantasize about at some point),…
