Episode № 9 (2): Four-Sided Triangle

«Four-Sided Triangle» («the Quadrilateral triangle») is included into number of my most favourite episodes of the anthology «Байки from a crypt». By and large in it anything especial is not present – either superfluous кровищи, or humiliating black humour, gradual forcing of atmosphere парализующего fear, however it nevertheless "has hooked" on me. Probably, business in brilliant director's work and, forgive for a spoiler and raised "calm", in the optimistic ending of a series marking a celebration of good over harm (in «Байках» seldom come across episodes when really it would be desirable to rejoice with all the heart for the main character). By the way, the episode ending has appeared enough original and unexpected – not each film fan can foresee it. (To read further)

Episode № 8 (2): For Cryin ’ Out Loud

«For Cryin ’ Out Loud» («the Internal voice»-), probably, it is possible to name an author's translation one of the most ridiculous and amusing episodes «Баек from a crypt». This full of black humour and horrible fun a series professional script writer Джеффри has removed the Price which has thought up plots of such popular films as «Wild, wild Вест», «As Гринч has stolen Christmas», «Who has substituted Roger's rabbit» and a cartoon film «Шрек the Third». It is very a pity, that «the internal voice» is its unique work in a director's field as this episode it has shown considerable creative potential in absolutely new to it role. Moreover, I consider, that to many eminent film affairs specialising on foolish comedies, it would be necessary to learn to skill at a Price, managed all for half an hour of television time competently and more exhaustively to tell interesting, comical (without any platitudes and humour «below a belt») and not deprived characteristic for «Баек» certain violence history about human greed. Certainly, to success of this episode at a television audience to no small degree promoted and perfectly picked up actor's structure. In leading roles the actors having wide experience of work in comedy serials and entertaining tapes have acted in film. Whether it is a question about Аренберге (the trilogy «Pirates of Caribbean sea», «the Vault of dragons», «the Water world») and Кэйти Сагал, unforgettable Пегги Банди from ridiculous American ситкома «Are married and with children» which was vulgarised by the Russian businessmen-TV men who have created on its basis a silly and obscene serial «Are happy together» (the American version too you will not name ideal as regards decency, however it is impossible so frankly and roughly to transfer the western realities on our cultural soil – as a result turns out one scabrousness). Besides, the internal voice of hero Arenberga has sounded rather popular in the USA стэндапер (from English standup comic – the comedian acting with comic monologue and jokes before "live" public) Sam Kinison. «The internal voice» is remarkable also participation in it world famous rokera-alternativshchika Игги the Priest («Coffee and cigarettes», "Dead person", «Сид and Нэнси»), played this time itself.
