Leptirica (1973)
The nigthmare tale
Leptirica is the part of three movie projects. Project intended to introduce fantasy and horror to Yugoslavian film production. With very small budget and the cream of exYu movie makers, it shacked whole movie scene. Serbian folklore and literature is full of fantasy stories (even science fiction). Authors used the Milovan Glisic's novel:"Ninety years after" for scenario.
Actors and camera is excellent, and the pace is very good. There is some inconsistencies that can be filled by novel. I think Kadijevic was forced to cut some scenes. Movie have lack of thrilling atmosphere, but all scary scenes are even scarier. They are surprising. Yugoslav movie makers didn't have experience in horrors, but Leptirica is rare gem within yu movies. It is milestone. All later horror movies fixed mistakes of Leptirica.
Beside that, it takes me twenty years to get courage to watch it again! It took a hell out of me!
Twenty years after it is not scary at all to me. I know what and when to expect from the movie, so it is some bit silly to me. But, if you never seen Leptirica before, watch it!
Davitelj protiv davitelja (1984)
Horror can be fun, but it is even scarier
When it comes to Serbian (Yugoslavian) horror movies, only masterpieces can be found. They all have unique stories, great actors, excellent camera, good pace and very odd twists in stories.
"Davitelj" have cult status in Serbia. It is a story about real people in real situations. Scariest thing is fact that serial killer can be your neighbor, or you can be killed 'cose you wearing pants and dislike flowers! When you watching "Davitelj" you laugh, then you scream, and so on. And you scream very loud. And laugh too.
The movie that you will watch again and again and again,...
And you'll be infected by very good soundtrack.
