Back to Supernatural

Has it ever happened to you to come back to the old TV series which you used to watch some time ago?

I had such an experience.

I took up watching Supernatural 11 years ago … I was fond of that theme and two handsome brothers made this topic even more attractive to me. While my sympathy hesitated between two brothers (Dean and Sam Winchesters), both of them were fighting against supernatural creatures, ghost, demons and other evil. They were brought up by a father who was such a hunter himself. John Winchester became the hunter after one demon killed his wife Mary, the mother of Dean and Sam. Therefore brothers had no opportunity to have normal life Sam tried it though.

At first I noticed the same ideas like in X-files. I found it funny, nevertheless I kept following the TV series. I was rewarded because the imagination of the screenwriters sharply increased as well as the amount of viewers.

I was side by side with Winchester in their fight against all evil long 7 years, when I realized that I couldn't take it anymore. Do not get me wrong, I wanted to see them beating all demons, but after fifth year everything started happening in a circle. More precisely, the plot got stuck. It was evolving 5 years in a row and in 6^th year it came to a standstill. I hoped 7^th season to be the last one and did my best to watch it though to find out the end.

Just imagine my disappointment when on last minute of last episode I realized that it would be continued. I stopped watching it.

4 years passed ..

One day I turned my TV on and I saw familiar faces! Dead and Sam, who were looking as I last time saw them, were still chasing and killing all evil in the world. I already thought that it was ended. Well, I decided to watch the last episode of the last 11^th season (it isn't the final season) and it was like I was watching a new TV series with the same actors and familiar plot. It felt weird. 

Just imagine: all 11 years they have been at war with all evil! As I said it seemed that time have not touched them, in both ways - the appearance and the plot. However the scale of events have grown (even God is there already).

It is going to sound crazy, nonetheless  I want to take it up again and I will look it in the reverse order to make it more complex.

Hopefully, I will watch it till the end!

Witching & Bitching

When it comes to talk about witches and craft, I recall one movie “The Craft”. As for me, it is one of the most striking films about witches. But lately I watched another one.

"The Witches of Zugarramurdi" (also known as “Witching&Bitching”) is a Spanish comedy horror film, made in 2013 by Alex de la Iglesia.

It opens by a robbery which was pondered by two street artists Jose and Tony. The robbery does not go as well as they thought it would. Nevertheless, they manage to steal a bag of golden rings and successfully run from police. Moreover, a taxi driver, who was their hostage and drove them away from the crime scene, becomes their confederate.

Thus, the beginning of the film is full of action, chases and sparkling dialogues. The singularity of the situation is that Jose has brought his son Sergio and he becomes involved into the crime and all consequences of it. Due to Sergio, his mother, who is followed by police, manages to figure out their whereabouts.

The company ends up in the Navarrese town in Zugarramurdi, which is known as witch's town since Medieval times. They meet cannibalistic witches face to face. It goes without saying, that their only aim is to run away from that place, but it is not so easy.

The plot is evolving rapidly and including a lot of supernatural and terrifying action. Some of scenes were absolutely horrific. But I really like the movie though.

Also, to my opinion, the plot of the film has similarities with “From dusk till dawn”. Bad guys are running from police and end up in a strange place facing supernatural creatures. 

Anyway, "The Witches of Zugarramurdi" is a great film.
