Showing posts with the label Week 3
Hello dear visitors! That was it for our third themed week here at Cine It. This category was very interesting and I've already added to our mystery box another paper with the same midnight selection of movies but from another year of the Sundance Festival. I don't know if Krasnaya is going to be very happy about that. 😂 I was happy to find movies like Mother Schmuckers, Censor and Knocker. I only regret having watched Violation. Below you can find the movies we've watched listed from best to worst according to our ratings. Tomorrow a new theme will be announced.  Have a great week! Our blog is update everyday at 21:00 (WEST)

Hello everyone! This week we bring you 5 movies selected from the 2021 Sundance Festival's Midnight Section. "Perhaps the most notorious Sundance program, Midnight has long had a reputation for screening films guaranteed to provoke a reaction. Historically, tremendously diverse films that range across many genres and subject matters have occupied these screening slots. The 'rags to riches' success story of "The Blair Witch Project" has its roots in the buzz generated from its midnight screenings during the 1999 festival, but the program has also served up over-the-top comedies, gory horror, surreal drama, and explicit animation for late-night audiences. As the festival itself suggests, Park City at Midnight is "... a good place to find a new cult classic."
