　　在經(jīng)歷了小丑阿特的萬(wàn)圣節(jié)大屠殺后，西耶娜和她的兄弟正在努力重建他們破碎的生活。隨著節(jié)日的臨近，他們?cè)噲D擁抱圣誕精神，把過(guò)去的恐怖拋在腦后。但就在他們以為自己安全的時(shí)候，小丑阿特回來(lái)了，決心把他們的節(jié)日歡樂(lè)變成一場(chǎng)新的噩夢(mèng)。隨著阿特釋放出他扭曲的恐怖，節(jié)日很快就結(jié)束了，證明沒(méi)有一個(gè)節(jié)日是安全的。

　　故事發(fā)生在圣誕節(jié)前夕，母親的健康突然出狀況，讓四名成年子女和他們令人頭痛的父親慌了手腳，面對(duì)可能即將發(fā)生的失去，家庭氣氛也混亂失衡。但聰明的母親六月處變不驚，以犀利的幽默、坦率的態(tài)度和豐沛的愛(ài)，安排好自己的人生謝幕。

　　Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.　　Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?　　n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.　　What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.　　On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.　　One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.　　Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.

　　與丈夫（安東尼·拉帕格利亞飾）慶祝完結(jié)婚25周年后不久，丈夫出差在外，達(dá)西（瓊·艾倫）在車庫(kù)找電池，卻無(wú)意中發(fā)現(xiàn)丈夫就是新聞中說(shuō)的“臭名昭著的連環(huán)殺手比蒂”?！　∮捌男≌f(shuō)藍(lán)本是金2010年出版的短篇小說(shuō)集《暗夜無(wú)星》（Full Dark, No Stars）中的一篇。金在接受采訪時(shí)說(shuō)，小說(shuō)的靈感來(lái)自于2005年被捕的美國(guó)“BTK連環(huán)殺手”丹尼斯·雷德（Dennis Rader），他就有一位結(jié)婚三十四年的妻子寶拉（Paula），對(duì)他的殺人行為毫不知情。金表示，小說(shuō)探討的是，人與人之間永遠(yuǎn)不可能完全了解，即使是最愛(ài)的人也一樣。
