Last Seen Contemporary Movie

Great movies to watch back to back.. to back.



"Better Watch Out/ Safe Neighborhood" 8-9/10

Young Levi Miller (only 14???) acted his ass off in this one.




"Happy Death Day" 8/10

Fun and entertaining story.




"The Babysitter" 7-8/10

Another strong performance by a young actor.

"Monday at 11:01" 6/10

Despite some bad dialogue at times, this was a pretty decent what-the-hell-is-going-on flick, untill the ridiculous reveal at the end.

Sleepwalker (2017)



Troubled by bouts of sleepwalking and disturbing nightmares, graduate student Sarah Foster goes to her university sleep research center for help. But when she wakes up after her first night of being monitored, the world she lives in seems to have changed in subtle, Twilight-Zone-esque ways.

Slow burn, decently made "identity & reality blender" thriller but the final payoff/reveal was not that much satisfactory.

The Big Sick (2017)



>>: A-

Found Footage 3D (I watched it in 2D since I don't have a 3D television).

I liked it. It definitely had a creep factor for me.

8/10

I'd rate it about the same. A buddy of mine loved it (he's our age). Felt retro to me... 80s in particular. Solidly made, but definitely not new ground.

I guess it's a parody? I don't want to get into a habit of saying every horror-comedy is parody. Maybe it comes off to me as parody because it also comes off as retro... or maybe just because it's well tread territory. What do you think?

Yea, it was kinda 80s. Might be the kid against bad guys theme that did it. The movie's problem, imo, was after the big reveal it became something you've seen lots of times before. A shame, cuz I really liked the chemistry between the kid and the babysitter and the scenes with just those two together.

On another note, is it just me or is there more talented kid actors popping up this decade than ever before? Might be because there's more kid actors being used than ever before, idk. The last 2 decades we've seen tons and tons of teens in horror movies, but this decade the jews of Hollywood has thougt, "We can do it even cheaper, muahahaha". Sorry, that was a bit racist ( but racist in a FUN way, right? :D).

Nails (2017)



An Irish attempt for a "J-Horror" sort of scary flick but it failed horribly, mostly due to poor vfx/make up & underdeveloped backstory.

Totally agree

Bonehill Road, 2017. 8/10. {Screener}

Again another great film from Todd Sheets. All practical effects, just needed to see more of the werewolf.





Scarecrowd, 2017. 5/10. {Screener}

I was really looking forward to this but it let me down. Wasn't at all what I thought. A bit of gore but the comic undertones brought it down.





Wretched Cunt {2017}, 14 min short film, 7/10 {Screener}

A short film about abuse and revenge. Great FX!




The Elf, 2017. 4/10

Just giving this a 4 cause it's some sort of a movie. Gawd awful.

Can't Take It Back

It was....ok. Same old, same old. Teenagers mess with a vengeful spirit, get killed/maimed/driven crazy.

4/10

Jeepers Creepers III, 2017. 6/10





Meh, nothing special to see here. It tied itself in with the other two movies. That was alright.
