Finally watched. It was really good, could become a cult.
Avoided a while to see it, but it delivered in every single way.
Of course, inferior from the original one, however, very good and different, I had just some issues with it:
SPOILER:
I feel like since the kiss scene it was all rushed, with the final fight between them. Also, the ending was open, which, after what we saw, was really not necesarry, or better said, improbable. She left him almost dead, without any medical attention he would had died. Read that it might be a trilogy.
Really curious how they will get this.
Saw it.
Had the chance to make something good, but was super weird, almost nonsense.
I think going for season 3 is a mistake, from my point of you.
It was not needed.
Indeed.
So many plot holes. Pointless.
Just for the sake of the briliance that was the first one.
This.
It went into something off. And what was with that sex scenes with Dihna and that guy? Almost every episode.
Indeed, maybe something awoke in him at the end of RO.
SPOILER AHEAD
For me, by far the greatest scene in the entire series is in the last episode, near the final showdown when they drink that soda similar to Pepsi and colapse. A blonde woman is telling them to wake up, then she disappears, like a mirage or something.
That lady is Margareta Irina Nistor, "the voice". In the communism and after, early 90s, she was the voice of every bootleg movie romanians could see from the west. From Predator to the Godfather or Grease, you name it she dubbed it.
Her being there made the whole show fantastic from my point of view.
Actually, funny enough, the dub is not that acurate. I caught some moments where the actors lips were saying nonsense, which, imho, I think it was done intentionally, something like: Goats float in space in romanian, while the dub was talking something serious.
I think the dubbed and subs are playing a huge huge part in why this show is good. Without those, It would had been decent, but not as good, if you ask me.
SEMI SPOILER AHEAD
The puns with Nadia Comaneci, or random pics with Ceausescu are fantastic. Also, the names of the staff that are shown at the start. Google them. I think the greatness of this is in the details, but I think, people are used to simple and bad laughs, maybe that is why The Big Bang Theory still works.
There are 3 more you should give it a go:
In Search of the Midnight Kiss
5 Centimeters per second (animation, but fantastic)
10.000 Km or Long Dinstance - spanish version.
Quite bittersweet
Saw it.
Nice sweet movie. Bittersweet to be fair. I think you will enjoy it.
This.
It was really terrible. The whole atmosphere looked poor, the characters lacked any likeability and most off all, the story failed in every way. It was very boring. It failed where the first one succeded.
I would go and say it was worse that the second one. Hard to believe when you see that they are the same directors.
And also the witch. FFS! She looked like the monster from Rec 1! Very similar.
A sad end to a really scary saga.
PS: Hear, hear with the IMDB boards :(
