Trying to get back on track and watched two films this evening. First up the ‘Style over Substance’ neo-giallo Francesca, which unfortunately was more exciting to look at than actually enjoy. Clearly taking it’s cue from Argento, this film managed to squeeze in every trope available in the genre. After a good opening scene and promising theme tune it quickly turned tedious and the jokey our of sync dubbing was more annoying than anything else.
I followed that up with Blake Lively vs Shark survival horror The Shallows which I had low expectations for but actually really enjoyed! Very tense scenes in the water with the shark and nicely satisfying ending. Worth watching. I won’t be swimming in the sea again though haha.
