“George Lucas was the Albert Speer of cinema. Everything he built had extraordinary ruin value; all those spaceships work far better as enormous wrecks than as active fantasies. They were destroyed from the very beginning.”
“Youth, in our era of exhaustion, is a phantom. It’s something dreamed up by old people; it belongs to them, and they’ll control it until they die; maybe afterwards.”
1563 – Amulet (2020)
A homeless ex-soldier in London is offered a place to stay at a decaying house, inhabited by a young woman and her dying mother, and begins to suspect something unnatural is living there, too.
Amulet is a 2020 British horror film written and directed by Romola Garai (in her directorial debut) and starring Carla Juri, Imelda Staunton and Alec Secareanu.
David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter called the film “smart and stylish” and wrote: “Garai steadily builds suspense while keeping her intentions enigmatic until quite late in the action. She eventually folds together mysteries of the past with terrors of the present in an out-there final act that goes full-throttle Dario Argento, mixing digital and hand-made effects in a sea of garish reds and bizarre pagan visions.” (wiki)
