now available no. 36 of the magazine Scifiworld , for which I have written an article under the generic horror New teachers, it would draw attention to the newest work of two great filmmakers, Australian and British Traucki Andrew Christopher Smith, whose contributions are, to date, more than quaint and well worth the attention of fans with questions. Article commented on four films, all unprecedented in English cinemas and only one, the first mention, released among us in DVD format. The first two titles are Traucki: Black Water (2007), this co-directed with David Nerlich and The Reef (2010), the other two are Smith: Triangle (2009) and Black Death ( 2010). 
Black Water: " the directorial debut of Andrew Traucki, as I said co-directed with David Nerlich (the latter also co-wrote with former film and a professional trained in the field visual effects), spread (between us, as I said, straight to DVD) almost coinciding with another Australian production that same year and with alligator in between, "The Rogue" (Rogue, 2007), conducted by the much more renowned Greg McLean. Interestingly, the latter itself which won the "honor" of a commercial release in our cinemas, even though, without being not quite negligibly lower, footage and inflated claims that "Black Water" for my taste more effective and unsettling, "The Rogue" thanks in large part to his modesty, concise and direct and unfettered approach . " 
The Reef : " not cost too much to see in" The Reef "an immediate consequence of the local success of" Black Water ", only that changing this corner of geography" aussie "(rivers and crocodile-infested swamps of Australia) by as much better known (the Great Barrier Reef, situated in the north and tropical countries), and a natural predator (a crocodile) for another (a shark). But thankfully, "The Reef" again to demonstrate modesty, efficiency and lack of pretension that ended up being the best weapons in "Black Water", and develops, in about an hour and a half projection a harrowing tale of survival in extreme circumstances that achieves escape, miraculously, two large and almost dare I say "inevitable" dangers are posed and solved in such a way that manages to avoid the usual comparisons with outstanding Jaws (Jaws, 1975) by Steven Spielberg, and what is best, is far superior to the leaden "Open Water" (idem, 2003, Chris Kentis), with which it shares a relatively similar approach argument. " 
Triangle: " Made in co-production between the United Kingdom and Australia by Britain's Christopher Smith and starring Australian actress Melissa George, a performer who is poised to be one of the great "scream queens" of today because of its outstanding curriculum in the fantasy films ("Dark City" "The Amityville Horror," "Turistas", "30 Days of Night"), "Triangle" boasts two qualities not insignificant today. The first, a plot that revolves around an amazing extreme situation, but Smith, who also wrote the screenplay, knows raising and, above all, complete with remarkable talent, and second, an atmospheric staging, so that what counts is not only interesting but also fascinating. (...) It is incomprehensible and disgraceful that those titles like "Eden Lake", "The Children" and "Halloween II", to which I would not hesitate to add this most interesting "Triangle", continue to be conjured away from us. There are times when it seems that this is not a distribution problem, but simply tasteful. " 
Black Death: " a relatively hard and grim, cruel and ruthless as few have seen of this style In recent years, in which we find echoes (positive) portrait of medieval religious obscurantism of Ingmar Bergman's "The Seventh Seal (Det sjunde inseglet, 1957), mixed with the sinister and desperate vision of a similar period addressed in" The Last Valley "(The Last Valley, 1971, James Clavell), and which derive more purely seaward" fantastique "of the plot: a conspiracy of witchcraft and paganism combined saves echoes, some hidden, from the famous movie Robin Hardy "The Wicker Man" (1973), though taken from his unhappy version, "Wicker Man" (The Wicker Man 2006, Neil LaBute), although markedly improved, the role of a woman as bearer of pagan worship: the Langiva, as beautiful as lethal, embodied here by Carice van Houten .
