So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

So I Married an Axe Murderer has a sequence late in the film involving a thunderstorm. It starts with a couple of very mild strikes, but the sequence, which is intercut with a few different scenes, ends up using bright and extreme strobes.

A few scenes take place in moving vehicles, and there is some peril at extreme heights. The opening and closing shots are filmed from helicopters. There is infrequent use of mildly shaky cameras.

Flashing Lights: 8/10. Motion Sickness: 3/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: The main character is jump-scared several times.

02/01/2024

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is a 1992 film written and produced (like the previous one) by John Hughes, and directed by Chris Columbus, sequel to Home Alone. The film stars Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Deniel Stern, John Heard, Tim Curry, Brenda Fricker and Catherine O'Hara.

A sequel with a new cast, titled Home Alone 3, was released in 1997.

A year after little Kevin's misadventures, the McCallister family is once again ready to leave for Christmas, this time for Miami. Once on the plane, he starts listening to music with headphones and doesn't hear the on-board announcements, so he ends up not noticing the mistake and arriving in New York. The parents, having arrived in Florida, realize that they have lost their son and contact the police for searches; in the meantime, however, Kevin, free from the oppressive climate of his family, is not scared and begins an adventurous exploration of the city, realizing among other things that his father's credit card has remained with him and uses it to book a luxury room at the Plaza Hotel.

During the night, Kevin takes refuge in Central Park, where he meets the "pigeon woman", a melancholy good-hearted lady who has fallen on hard times and lives like a homeless person, always accompanied by many pigeons who she feeds and treats as if they were her pets company.

The woman takes Kevin to the attic of Carnegie Hall, where an orchestra is performing "Adeste fideles", and confides to him that from position she has secretly at tented performances of many famous artists, including Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Frank Sinatra and Luciano Pavarotti.

Having moved away from the pigeon woman, Kevin decides to stop the two thieves again, so he goes to the house under renovation of his uncle Rob and Georgette, who have moved to Paris, and transforms it into a fortress, placing a series of traps: nail guns, grease, bricks, wrenches, electrical contacts, kerosene and a gigantic iron pipe.
