What critics compared Intacto to
Drenched in washed-out noir shadows by Xavi Giménez ( Intacto , Darkness ) and scored by Roque Baños to within an inch of Bernard Hermann’s grave, The Machinist‘s aesthetic is as sick as Bale’s concentration camp figure, but like his 2001 spooker Session 9 and the previous year’s Happy Accidents, Anderson’s latest similarly trades in karma but allows mood to trump emotion.
The resourceful Spanish director, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo ("Intacto"), who was sought out by executive producer Boyle to helm this follow-up, uses relentless (possibly too relentless) hand-held camerawork to impart a sense of chaotic terror to the high-energy gut-munching scenes and the flight of the children from the contaminated Zone.
Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's ("Intacto") sequel to director Danny Boyle's excellent 2003 "28 Days Later" isn't nearly as good, and its characters are malnourishing, but it delivers plenty of tension for a decent scary-movie night.
Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, whose résumé is limited to the deft if wildly precocious thriller Intacto, bluntly raids the zeitgeist in his sequel to Danny Boyle's new-school zombie smash 28 Days Later.
Co-screenwriter/director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo impressed with his inventive 2001 film "Intacto."
Cowriter (with Rowan Joffe and Jesús Olmo)/director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo ("Intacto") ably takes over the reins from Danny Boyle ("28 Days Later") and slams us into the sequel with an opening sequence as powerful as Zack Snyder's "Dawn of the Dead" remake.
