Together with the gore, there's enough freaky weirdness and downright perversion to keep most seasoned horror fans happy.
With The Divide, Gens created another stylish genre flick.
Gens' latest is a brutal action flick. A bit too brutal maybe, because even though the drama is effective, I'm not sure I needed that from an action film that's mostly serving kick-ass action scenes. Some emotional investment is definitely a plus, but the film gets pretty dark and nihilistic in places. The performances are good (Lyes has charisma to spare), the action scenes go hard and the build-up is simple but fitting. Gens once again shows he can handle different genres and there are more than enough memorable scenes, but it would've been better if the film had been a tiny bit more "fun".Read all
The ABCs of Death
Gens made a shark film, set in Paris. It sounds like one of those lame C-horrors, and sure enough, there's plenty of cheese and suspension of disbelief needed to get to the end, but there's also some fun to be had, especially during the latter half of the film. Don't expect any realism, this isn't that kind of film. Instead, Gens has some fun with genre tropes and bumping up the kill count. The start of the film is a little slow, but once it gets up to steam it's a decent enough genre flick, with a hilarious finale. Far from his best, but good genre fun nonetheless.Read all
