6/10
I got what I expected.
26 June 2019
I anticipated a sequel with the look and feel in the manner of Meir Zarchi's original film from 1978. Yes, DEJA VU looks somewhat cheap. Yet I think it's Zarchi's style. Note the visual work. No shaky cam, but calm and balanced pictures, made by Pedja Radenkovic, who is an award winning cinematographer. There's hardly any music. So some scenes, though they lack excessive gore, become even more dramatic, almost as a documentary of outrageos events. I think the acting of the hillbillies isn't bad, but deliberately exaggerated. It's a kind of satire! One shouldn't align DEJA VU with the franchise that started with the 2010 remake. This is well done gory Hollywood b movie stuff, and I enjoyed that very much! But DEJA VU breathes independent air. And with it's lengthy scenes and long running time this film is even an epic in its own universe.
