The Woman (2011) I haven't read Jack Ketchum's book but I personally prefer to see a movie before I read the book and so tried to take this Lucky McKee directed film on it's own moments. It gets points for not going where the viewer expects it to. But I was a little bit disappointed with how rushed I felt it was. There was attempts made at characterization but the motivations of the characters wasn't developed fully enough for me-it felt like parts of it had been edited out so it didn't make enough logical sense to make the big reveals at the end to be believable enough or to have the true hard-hitting impact that was intended. A Very good try but not something I would watch again

Lovely Molly (2012)
The actress on the lead did a great job in her 'mentally tormented' role and the film delivers some creepy & interesting 'haunted house' set pieces with the help of some fine works in the sound department. As being one of the directors of 'infamous' Blair Witch Project, I guess Mr. Sanchez couldn't resist himself from using some POV shots here as they allow Molly to have a video camera in the story. Anyway, as a seemingly psychological horror with some supernatural overtone, this isn't a bad film overall but the plot suffers for some unanswered questions about Molly's past & an ending that was too smart but kinda unsatisfactory, IMO. >>: B

Looking forward to Lovely Molly...
... Julia's Eyes (2010) I think that this movie had a lot of potential - Good direction, great acting... And a pretty good concept. Plus, preying on a blind person is pretty nail-biting. My issue though is that the end was pretty predictable and seriously went on FOREVER. Ugh. All in all, disappointed. 2/5. |
