It only does by name and the murder. Shane Ryan puts his own twist to this story. It's seen through camera, like found footage with different effects of cinematography. Some parts were haunting.

The Other Side of the Door (2016)

I wasn't aware of the existence of this until about a week and a half ago, but I guess it helps watching a movie without any expectations or bias. Although it's not groundbreaking horror, The Other Side of the Door is an still efficient ghost story. The film follows a couple, Maria and Michael, who live in harmony in India until a car accident kills their son, Oliver. Desperate for closure, Maria learns of a ritual where she can speak to her son one last time. She travels to an ancient temple where a mysterious door acts as a portal between the world of the living and the dead. Her only warning is to not open the door, but, in typical horror movie fashion, Maria opens the door. Oliver's soul is brought back to the world of the living, but something else is trying to reclaim his soul. In terms of scares, The Other Side of the Door is inconsistent at best. There are a couple of genuinely scary scenes, but there are a few more that just cop out on a jump scare. One really great and scary thing about the movie is the demon trying to reclaim Oliver's soul. It's creepy as hell and is reminiscent of Sadako or Kayako. Another thing that salvages the film and makes it watchable is its great story. Maria's story of depression and desperation gives the plot an emotional edge while the Hindu themes and symbolism make it unique for an American film. The movie had a similar vibe to The Grudge in that it used another country's culture to create a disturbing atmosphere for its characters. The ending is actually great and pretty shocking, too. It's not the best "American goes to a foreign country and shit goes down" horror movie, but The Other Side of the Door is a decently scary ghost movie with a great story.

Just watched it. Here's my short review...

MAD MAX:FURY ROAD (2015)
3/10

I just could not get into Fury Road, no relatable characters, Lot's cliches..

Compare this to the enjoyable The Road Warrior (1981)... each of the bad guys had their own personal look and personality. They were people, relatable. Max talked, and talked to other people, and they talked back to him, and we knew them and cared about them, and we knew everybody's motivations, and we could anticipate what they were going to do and why. What a concept.

The Road Warrior (1981)
9/10

[Baron Von Marlon]

Mad Max: Fury Road should've been plain Furiosa Road or something.
A spin-off set in the Mad Max universe or else a simple rip-off/tribute.
I just hate it when they attach the name of a know franchise for publicity.
If they left the Max character from the movie and focused a little more on Furiosa we would have had an somewhat original movie.
That being said, I don't hate the movie but I think it's overrated.

This movie kills me because not only was the filming and scenery gorgeous, but the story had some potential. But the monster wasn't very creative, a lot of things were left open ended, and it was a found footage but it didn't STAY a found footage. And don't worry if you happen to walk into this movie like... 3-5 minutes in. The video at the beginning you only see another fifty THOUSAND times!! *does NOT recommend*

Honeymoon

Ugh another unsatisfying payoff. Though much better than Indigenous, they didn't explain things fully in the end and we're kind of left to make our own assumptions. I give the movie credit though, the suspense and buildup was paced very well. The changes in the wife start so subtle you wonder if her hubby is maybe worrying over nothing. But the longer it goes on the more you just want to know what the hell is going on with her. And that's what made the climax so disappointing.

But of course, my fellow werewolf lover!

Speaking of, I neglected to mention the reason I didn't care for the creature in it. It was supposedly a chupacabra, but it really looked more like a vampire of sorts. Even 'Mexican Werewolf in Texas' did it better!

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

First, this isn't a sequel to Cloverfield nor does it take place in the same universe as Cloverfield, so if you go see this, don't get mad that the Clover monster isn't ripping through the city again. Now that that's out of the way, this is going to be a completely spoiler-free review, unless you don't want to know about, um, character names. But seriously, the less you know about this movie, the better, so I'm not going to give anything away that wasn't in any of the trailers. In 10 Cloverfield Lane, a woman, Michelle, gets in a car accident and wakes up in an underground bunker. Her captor, Howard claims to have saved her life and that everyone outside the bunker is dead. Another man is also in the bunker, named Emmet, and tensions arise between the three as Howard becomes increasingly suspicious, and Emmet and Michelle mount an escape plan. While Cloverfield, was an intense, in-your-face monster flick, 10 Cloverfield Lane is a completely different beast altogether. Instead of the vast area of New York City, this movie takes place in the confines of a doomsday bunker, so the scares come from paranoia and suspense than a giant monster attacking the city. All three cast members are excellent in their roles, especially John Goodman as Howard. His awesomely creepy performance makes this one of his most memorable roles. Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Galleger Jr. are incredible as well. You may recognize her as Wendy from Final Destination 3. Winstead's character definitely isn't a damsel in destress here; Michelle is crafty and smart like Nancy from A Nightmare on Elm Street. John Galleger Jr. also provides some witty comic relief while also seeming a bit suspicious himself. 10 Cloverfield Lane is a restrained, suspenseful and well-crafted psychological thriller that calls to mind both Misery and The Twilight Zone, and if this anthology series continues, it'll be hard to match the standards set by this and its predecessor.

I saw a film about 10 years ago with the same theme (in doomsday bunker with guy you're sure is telling the truth) with a man and woman, but I can't remember the name. Maybe it was a TV episode... Always an intriguing theme. Not overused yet.

[Roiffalo]

Graveyard Story

I believe it's from '92, but it's filmed so low budget it looks more like a '72. Not a bad story though. A few small plot holes but none bad enough to take you away from the focus. If anything it was mildly annoying at worst. I picked it up at Salvation Army for a buck after reading the back. It's a murder mystery/suspense type, close enough to horror to spark my interest and post about it I think. A man with no children sort of ''adopts'' a dead girl at a graveyard he frequently visits, and becomes curious and concerned about what happened to her when he reads on her stone that she died tragically. So he hires a PI to find the answers. If you're a fan of Colombo or Magnum PI then this might entertain you.

Anyway you know me. Always up for watching anything lycan! Despite the trailer looking painfully low budget. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4G0ClUKwtk
It does look nicely suspenseful, and i don't think it gave anything much away, which is rare in trailers these days. But then again it is from like... 2-3 years ago?

I always feel shame when I'm shown or asked about werewolf movies and it ends up being one I haven't seen. But honestly, if I wasn't recommended or asked about something new to me, then I would feel like I'm wasting my time here. So thanks, Baron. ::smile::

I'm having trouble remembering exactly what/who this was, but I'm pretty sure it was a TV ep. A woman, or man & woman are taken into a fallout shelter by a tense survivalist who tells them nuclear war broke out. She finds a radio and a normal broadcast, and realizes the survivalist is deceiving her to keep her there.

I think it was a Criminal Minds ep, but not sure.

[ImmortalSlasher]

I haven't reviewed or posted in this topic for a while. But here is a bunch of stuff I've watched that's all horror.


Luther

I posted this in the movie section because BBC has it on demand as one whole movie. I think it was broken up in different parts for normal viewing depending on your location. It's like Manhunter. Very dark. I stopped watching CSI and NCIS long ago. And this is a far better police / detective type show. I think it's going to be a true full movie next. I can't wait. The lead actor is going to be in Dark Tower. I've heard about the books but never read them. But it's something I look forward to seeing.


Jessabelle

Bad twist and I mean bad. I don't want to spoil the movie but it reminded me of a similar if not the same twist in another horror movie set in the South with I guess a popular blonde actress. The movie was fairly passable up until that point. The usual ghost dealings. Nothing really offensive if you like horror or ghost movies. The lead actress was fine. It's almost like the fairly recent When a Stranger Calls, even if the movie isn't that good, if you have a strong and pretty lead in a good horror setting they can hold the movie. She has a funny scene drinking whiskey and reading a romance novel in the middle of the night before deciding to watch another VHS tape with her dead and crazy tarot card reading Mother. But the movie has what should forever be called stupid stuff white people do in horror movies. It happens a bunch of times here and makes you question the characters, writers, and director.


The Gallows

I didn't get ending. I had to read the wiki. This really came off as Found Footage 101. Nothing really remarkable at all. One maybe two good shots or scares. And I think they were both used in the trailer. One is actually the poster. It's really a by the numbers reality horror movie. It had no business in a theater.


Unfriended

A few people reviewed this movie a while ago. There was a bit of back and forth. I think one person liked it a lot. Most didn't like it. I felt that it was experimental. Really not worthy of a full movie and barely a horror movie. I stopped watching after the first minute or so. I couldn't believe that I would actually have to give effort to watching the computer monitors and reading / noting what was going on. But I went back and put up with it. I doubt many will or could watch this multiple times like a Halloween or other classic horror movie.

It's called "Unfriended" but none of them are really friends. They are probably in the top three of bad horror movie "friends" that I've ever seen. The one person that really doesn't belong doesn't last long at all. I remember posting about the twist back in those previous posts. I still think there is a twist. But it's handled so poorly that it's unbelievable. I reviewed another movie once dealing with the supernatural and technology. Here apparently the supernatural knows how to use technology better than the characters.

Unfriended and The Gallows must be word of mouth things. I can't believe the budgets of both and the amount of money they managed to make. Blumhouse Productions was involved in both. Maybe people notice that name similar to Bad Robot and check it out. I don't know. But both Unfriended and The Gallows are poor horror movies.


Exists

I didn't like it that much at first. It has the usual setup for horror movies. We've all seen it before. Friends, rundown cabin in the middle of no where, etc. Apparently Bigfoot is confirmed to be real and has been sighted by many people. That's a surprise to me. But when Bigfoot attacks and we know why, you kind of want Bigfoot to win. At least more than you really want a Jason or Freddy to win. I'm still not crazy about a lot of found footage movies and this one is kind of annoying with the moving camera. But when we need a good shot we get it. Like a few awesome shots of Bigfoot running and chasing people. It's not the best nor the worst movie.


Scream 3

I don't remember Scream 2 and I've seen it twice. It was really forgettable I guess. I remember seeing a bit of Scream 3 before but I only recalled seeing Carrie Fisher's scene. I think the Scream movies all have a popular culture sort of topic going threw them. The original Scream was about the state of horror movies and breaking them down. Maybe that's why it's the best with all the horror references, music, and cameos. From what I remember of Scream 2, it was about real killers in the news I think. At least I remember OJ being mentioned and his story is back in the news again with a TV show and supposedly murder weapon found after all this time. Scream 3 is about what goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood. Something I think many know or have heard rumors about. So I don't think this movie breaks any new ground. It ties up the trilogy but do horror movies need trilogies or need to have story lines wrapped up like normal movies? I can't think of a good horror movie trilogy at all. And at the end of Scream 3, I didn't feel a sense of a completed journey like in many trilogies.

Scream 4

Scream 4 is easily the best after the original. The original is a classic. The music and songs, lines, characters, settings, and discussion. I love the VHS rental store scene. There isn't anything like that in Scream 4 that's fun and shows the new method of watching horror movies. It would have been interesting since Blockbuster and others are gone and many download or just have cable and on demand for movies.

I did notice that town looks different in Scream 4. In the original there are a lot of shots with mountains. I had to look it up and I was right. It was filmed in a different location. I guess they received some monetary breaks for filming in a different location. I did like the opening scene. It's not as good as original opening but still it was exciting and it got me.

I was surprised at ending reveal. I don't want to spoil it but I was surprised because of a certain change. This Scream movie seems to have the nature of celebrity as a theme. In a way though the movie is structured almost like a remake. But the new male characters are bland unlike in the original. They have some funny moments but none make a real impact where as in the original all the characters were great. Emma Roberts is good in this but to me the stand out new performance was from Hayden Panettiere. I've never seen her in anything before and she steals the show in all her scenes. Overall I think Scream 4 is the sequel to own and worthy of going with the first Scream. But I think the movie knows it's lesser when a character even says "don't mess with the original."

Luther originally is a series. I think each season has less and less episodes. And the most recent season's only a couple of episodes and kinda like a movie.

Exists is the best Bigfoot movie so far imo.

The first movie was definitely the best of the three. The characters were so fucking stupid and the story so dull I didn't give a rat's ass when any of them died.

The movie started off with Rusty Nail killing a couple of crack addicts, and soon followed by police looking over the scene. For a moment it looked like maybe one of the cops would be the main focus and possibly match wits with our killer at last. But naaaaah that would've been ORIGINAL.

So instead we follow the same over used at this point shtick of taking one of the pretty people from the group and using that to make the rest of the group puppets and do whatever he wants. AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN DO THAT. Even after member after member of the their group dies they continue to not play along with Rusty's rules.

Oh and unlike the first two where we see very little of Rusty, in this one they all but show him. At one point we can CLEARLY see his face but the shot is still filmed like we aren't supposed to notice like he's so scary cause we can't see this whimsical stranger. ::roll eyes::

I agree completely. I liked 'i am legend'. Has cool start, but definitely appears more flat and cliche when it tries to expand the plot and characters past Smith by himself.

Yeah... which makes a lot of sense showing that he survives the end of the last movie (the devil only knows how, I think he's a poltergeist at this point) but not how the fuck he survived the end of the second one where he and his rig went over a cliff. ::roll eyes::

I do love Rusty though. He and Harry are both under appreciated in the horror franchise. I was lucky to find them by accident when they should get as much recognition as the more popular horror icons like Jason and Micheal.
But yeah he needs better movies. Partial reason I disliked the third so much. Cause it had potential, but decided to go the cliche route and add characters with less brain than a houseplant.

Luther originally is a series. I think each season has less and less episodes. And the most recent season's only a couple of episodes and kinda like a movie.

Exists is the best Bigfoot movie so far imo.

They keep talking about a Luther movie. I guess that's why whoever in charge decided to test out the recent on demand listing as a one shot thing. There wasn't even an odd break with repeat credits. I can't remember how it was shown originally on air. I know in the UK it was in parts. And I know the original series is a TV mini series.

I heard there is another Bigfoot movie that's supposed to be good. I think it's directed by a singer turned director if I remember right.

I was pleasantly surprised by this one.
Has its ups and downs, good and bad clichés, but in the end it was kinda alright.Casting and acting were a bit above average for this sort of flick.
Story's simple but decent enough. It's no comedy but the tone's light unlike Ghoul (2015), a movie with a similar premise.
Oh yeah, it's "found footage" but the camera seemed steady except for some parts where running's involved.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

http://i65.tinypic.com/muhgz9.jpg

MY REVIEW WITH VERY MINOR SPOILERS

Not simply a follow up story of MAN OF STEEL (2013), BvS: DOJ is more of a DC's formal first take to introduce its cinematic universe in a desperate attempt against the continuing huge success of MARVEL's establishments so far. And like Rome, MCU also wasn't built in a day. So, it was a huge task for Snyder & his team to live up to the expectations of finally bringing DCs 2 most beloved & 'World's finest' superheroes together on the screen for the very first time. The stake was high but the wait was long due...
The movie kicks off with Bruce Wayne's perspective on the destructive battle between Superman & General Zod and his ideology as well as different popular opinions regarding whether our world is ready to deal with or have a place for such a super powerful & independent man from another planet which have been destroyed already. From that point the whole first half was all about this introduction & build up of all the major characters & the basic plot line of the story. The approach & execution in response to that plan wasn’t perfect but at least they didn’t rush to show & introduce so many things all together at a time.The second half comes with the most anticipated & "the greatest gladiator match in history"...and that's the best part of the movie, IMO (though they stupidly already gave away most of those scenes in the clips, teasers & trailers officially released online). This was a much better 2nd half than MOS; liked the way they put & justified Lex Luthor's plan behind all this along with his back up plan of introducing a common threat where Gal Gabot as Wonder Woman mostly steals the show.
But yeah...there were some aspects that I like to point out as the disappointments or failures. First of all, I didn't get why Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Lex Luthor strangely borrowed elements or character attributes from "Joker"?! At times it was indeed felt like watching a character blend of Luthor & Joker. Luthor is not only Superman’s one of the major villains in the comic book stories who as 'a smart ass evil genius' often carefully team up with other popular & alien bad guys to fight against even the Justice League...his characterization doesn't need to look like smarter or more devilish than what he already is in the comics or animated series. Eisenberg tried too hard here, I guess the responsibility for making him like a "Lex-Joker-Luthor" mostly goes to the writers.
My 2nd disappointment was about the major elements of the popular DC Batman & Superman stories that they borrowed or get influenced by here. Not only the title itself, director Snyder even admitted in numerous interviews while making this movie that Frank Miller's epic THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS would play a major influential role in this movie, which was more than fine enough to digest & enjoy in this very first encounters between the Batsy & the Sup. But the thing that surprised me here when there was another very popular story arc emerges at the very end & heavily impacted the story & the ending. Definitely it wasn't necessary to borrow elements from 2 very fan favorite stories & then blend them together in this very first film of DCCU & the prequel story of JUSTICE LEAGUE; as if DC is running out of time to tell all the great stories at once & catch up with the MARVEL(!). As a whole, the ending was too much off beat & comes so early in the series.
***MAJOR SPOILERS***
This Death by Doomsday here was less convincing, felt simply staged and thus failed to deliver the appeal of really losing a great hero like him like the way that original Doomsday story delivered at that point. I was expecting Aquaman will appear from that pit with the kryptonite spear and finish the job and later all of them going to have a special meeting somewhere else other than a shawarma restaurant ::wink:: and decide to form the League for any future threat like this.**Major SPOILER ENDS***

Lastly, the way Luthor as 'Frankenstein' launched Doomday here…was merely convincing even for the die hard DC fans! It was like one of those 60s & 70s Hammer's Dracula & Frankenstein story arcs…where sometime a drop of blood was enough for a "creation or resurrection of a pure evil"!
The screenplay was alright but sometime their frantic effort to make every single line sounded like an epic play was evident.
Last but not the least, though I was one of those Batfleck haters but kudos to Ben Affleck for giving his best efforts to portray a credible Bruce Wayne & Batman here, as I still think there are much better actors out there to play this most iconic comic book action hero of all time. Loved Jeremy Irons' portrayal of Alfred also, as at times some of his style of dialog delivery & voice work highly reminded me of the greatest horror movie icons of all time…Sir Boris Karloff!

Overall, Snyder's BvS was a safe & decent effort, nothing much spectacular but at least he didn't ruined it this time like the heavy chaotic ending of MAN OF STEEL; surely it could have been a pure epic extravaganza but still & at least it was better than what I anticipated after all the recent negative reviews from the movie critiques.

9/10

This was such a joy to watch...well, no it wasn't and that's kind of the point. So refreshing to see a horror film that takes its time to build a very deep, piercing visceral sense of dread rather than rely on cheap bang scare tactics or gross-out scenes (not that they don't have their place in some horror).

Much like The Shining or Lord of the Flies, this is a magnificent study of the darkness that emerges when humans are set in an isolated environment. It's about the hypocrisy involved in a dogmatic lifestyle, and the toxic combination of shame and pride. The attention to detail and authenticity in representing the time period was phenomenal and really contributed to the atmosphere - particularly the lighting.

The score and the cuts between scenes were sublimely discordant and unsettling. There are very few scary "moments" in this film and it is VERY purposefully paced, but I was absolutely on edge throughout.

http://cdn.collider.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/10-cloverfield-lane-poster-405x600.jpg

7.5/10

Another brilliant example of the horror of humans in close quarters. I thought the central cast did a very good job. M E-W was her usual self, the guy who played Emmet did a brilliant job of making him likeable and Goodman..well, Goodman was Goodman. Who would want to find themselves in a bunker with Goodman?

I'm enjoying the direction that the series is going - the stories of ordinary people on the periphery of monster chaos. The film is mostly very captivating throughout, and the BEGINNING of the third act had me on the edge of my seat. Then...well, it lets itself down. Doesn't know when to end.

The use of the confined space was very good, and you very quickly come to find the bunker as both a place of safe comfort, but also one of frightening closeness - all thanks to the ever present threat of Goodman. I was worried the trailer had given away too much about what I THOUGHT would be the ending, but I was very thankfully mistaken.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

I'm not a huge comic book movie fan, but I have liked the past few comic book movies I've seen (Deadpool, Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy...), and I just so happened to find yet another one that I like. Personally, I'm getting ready for Civil War next month by watching The Winter Soldier, and if the next Captain American movie is as good as this one, there's nothing to worry about. In The Winter Soldier, Steve Rodgers is trying to adjust to the modern world until a conspiracy involving SHIELD comes to light, but Cap also has to team up with Black Widow to battle another threat: The Winter Soldier. To me, Captain America has always been the most interesting Avenger because of how he was forced to leave behind his old life and friends, especially his old lover Peggy Carter, and adjust to life in the 21st century. It allows him to be more than just a roided-up superhero with a cool shield, and his struggle with readjustment is explored well in this movie. He also has to deal with a myriad of other significant issues like SHIELD and the Winter Soldier. The political conspiracy plot in particular adds a lot of suspense and twists to the story to make it consistently thrilling while the Winter Soldier provides a lot of great action sequences. His character is mysterious throughout the film, and he's definitely one of the better Marvel movie villains. Captain America: The Winter Soldier should certainly please even the most casual comic book movie viewer with its intense action, great plot and witty writing. I think I might need to binge watch all the MCU movies before Infinity War comes out next year.

Some good imagery and the demon-mom is scary enough. But my expectations for this film were set by horrorcrux, who called this the worst horror of 2014. The movie exceeded my expectations, just. Also some parts stretch credibility. I could buy a group of anglewitches gathering to play ouija, but not high schoolers.

This was kinda awesome. The killers very creepy and I liked all the characters, in their own way they added to this films charm and made it very good. Some of the kills were brutal and from what I can tell, all practical effects. That being said they could of dug deeper into the kills, showed more detail instead of just implying. I mean you do get to see some bloody stuff. : )The one dude's mannerisms were sick. Boy would I love to watch him let loose on his victims but we only get to see a glimpse of what hes capable of. The sounds of stabbing and ripping were amazing. Nice to see a film like this in the theaters.

Crimson Peak 2015

[Sculpt]

Netflix specials...

Nightbreed: The Director's Cut 2 hrs (1990)
3/10

If you would like to watch really cool costume designs for two hours, this film is for you. If you don't mind if a film doesn't make much sense, you might like it as well.

Let me talk about how it doesn't make sense. If you want to see the film, you might want to stop reading this, as I'll get into some plot points. It's about a young man, Aaron, who's had nightmares about killing 20-some people, and about a place called Midian where real nonhuman monsters live, a place where human serial killers can go to "be forgiven" and "find redemption". Aaron goes to his psychiatrist, who convinces Aaron that he really did kill a bunch of people. Aaron goes to Midian, but the story never describes how serial killers get forgiveness or redemption there, and that theme isn't addressed again.

The Midian monsters have a law, they can only eat humans who aren't real serial killers, even though there are no human serial killers in Midian. Makes sense, right? Aaron tells two monsters he's a serial killer, so they should accept him in Midian. But one monster says Aaron is not, and the Midian law reads they can eat him. The other monster protests, saying it's against their law to eat him, but doesn't explain why it's against the law. So a monster bites Aaron, changing him into a real nonhuman monster, and he's now accepted. But Midian never gives Aaron forgiveness or redemption, apparently we're supposed to forget about that.

The rest of the film a group of evil humans are trying to discover and kill the Midian monsters, who keep to themselves and hide in Midian, with Aaron leading the defense. Which sounds fun, but was rather marginal. The imagery indicates it's christianity that hunted down the real nonhuman monsters. Which I assume is symbolism, but for what is not revealed. Christ offers forgiveness to serial killers, and commands christians to love and help the outcasts, whereas human nature is to do the opposite. Seemed odd to me to insinuate the opposite.


Must Love Dogs (2005)
6/10

Romance with very light comedy, starring the always capable John Cusack and Diane Lane. It was just OK.

The opening kitchen scene was very stage-play to me, but the rest of the film was not. Cusack has a very funny line when he refuses to sell a boat to a buyer. Other than that, I'm afraid everything is rather forgettable. Despite warm performances, I thought the relationship presented is relatively shallow. Film has the usual romance trope (plot device) of something keeping our lovers separated for a time -- and it seems extremely unlikely, as most are. This is it in white text: Lane has great romantic connection with Cusack, and while she knows Cusack is coming right back, she lets a guy kiss her on the mouth for many seconds in the doorway of her house, and it's a first kiss from a man she can't date for professional reasons. And Cusack sees it, walks slowly away, and she doesn't say anything like, "he kissed me, but I want to date you" or something obvious that keeps them dating. End.


The Da Vinci Code
6/10

Surprising lack of fun and suspense. There's some puzzles, intrigue on conspiracies relating to christendom, an assassin, and a reveal, but I didn't find it engaging, fun or suspenseful. The puzzles were especially dull and unengaging for the audience. Even the character narratives were too shallow for me. As a comparison, National Treasure was far superior, where it has fun engaging puzzles, and enjoyable characters one can care about.


Spanish Lake (2014)
6/10

Documentary covering how small Missouri community changed when, in 1970s, government policies lead to influx of poor blacks into middle class white neighborhood. Mostly interviews with people from both sides, with some key info on what caused the situation.

I thought there was too much unrelated material in the interviews; where it was showing people having a good time, reminiscing about the good old days, and personal issues; so much so it's almost more of a fan-film. There's some subtlety relating to the main issue in those scenes, but overall it wasn't nearly tight enough for my tastes.


30 for 30: The '85 Bears (2016)
10/10

Excellent documentary on the 1985 Superbowl Champion Chicago Bears. Insightful interviews, well presented information, news and sports clips. It was upbeat, fun, but also plenty of emotional content of the players and coaches. Although, I must declare, I was a huge Bears fan at the time. That might make me a little more interested. ::wink::

Uncaged

I think Baron brought this to my attention last year...? Anyway Netflix got it, so I checked it out.

It wasn't the worst werewolf movie I've seen... But at the same time it could have been better. I really REALLY want to say it was good. It had decent characters, but sadly all the best ones were rarely on screen. Decent story. But my God that family! I can understand leaving your child with another family if you killed your significant other and may be on the run from the law and are afraid you'll accidentally kill it during your next round of carnivorous lunar activities, but at least have the DECENCY to come back to the kid when you know he's going to suffer the same fucking way you did when you could help him!

He also has an uncle who suffers the same fate (btw why wasn't the kid brought to him to be raised with his parent?!), and invites the kid up when he knows he's going to go through werewolf puberty too. That's all well in good... UNTIL HE LEAVES. WHY. WOULD. YOU. LEAVE. He even had a cage and shackles he could of well fucking shared, and he just takes it all and leaves! Like... "fuck you kid, I'm looking after my own ass, see you when the moon's no longer a bitch".

As it was his nephew had to figure shit out on his own, his mom only helping him on the first night but while he was asleep and he didn't even know she was there... I don't know why she didn't just walk up to him during the day and explain shit. Granted he wouldn't have believed her and she probably would have had to do the same thing that night with drugging him and taking him away, but she records the change and after seeing that I'm sure he would have came around!

The pacing just sucked. They needed so many full moons to tell this story and I don't think that was necessary. They didn't even focus on a full moon for long! Soon as he changed we went back to him trying to figure shit out the next morning! I realize this is pacing and build up, which is all well and good. They did something similar (but of course done WAY better) in American Werewolf in London. But here's the big difference. The build up to that was to reveal a horrifying climax with this masterpiece of a monster they created to show as the werewolf. This... This was a shaved Chewy. I mean if you're going to build up to something, give us more than a half-assed Jack Pierce knock off! Actually, no, that would be a compliment. It wasn't even that well detailed. The cover art is the werewolf equivalent of a cock tease.

There was also a lot of new werewolf myths that were thrown at us that they didn't even bother to explain and made the ending really vague. It's going to get a little spoilery here now but at the final battle scene, the kid is stressing to his psycho friend that silver bullets won't work unless he uses them before he turns. This wasn't mentioned before. And when he IS shot with them, it of course cuts to the next morning with the victim alive but he's either dead or unconscious. We don't know if he lived from what he said or if he was full of shit and actually kicked the hypothetical bucket... THAT WAS ANNOYING.

I would rate thissss... 2 out of 5 full moons. http://www.werewolf-movies.com/silvermoon.pnghttp://www.werewolf-movies.com/silvermoon.png

Don't Grow Up aka Alone (2015)

http://i67.tinypic.com/263ioti.jpg

A group of six adolescents in a youth facility suddenly discovers 'freedom' when they realize that everyone who should be taking care of them has disappeared and then they leave the facility and heads to town looking for supplies but things take an unexpectedly horrific twist when any adult they encounter tries to kill them.

Now, a movie with a plot like that where a group of youngsters trying to survive against the adults who are just acting like rampaging zombies, I expected it at least to be a fun & exciting flick like The Children or Eden Lake (just switching the per-adolescent monsters to adults). But the movie just losses it all at the last act where it strangely becomes dull, slow and tries to be a more serious & pretentious flick all of a sudden.

Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark

I thought this was a SciFi crap classic, but it's from Asylum. That was unexpected. Doesn't make it that much better of a film though, the CGI is just as shitty as SciFi's. Characters are better with a love interest already established between a married couple. I loved that. Got all the googly eyed teen love nonsense out of the way.

The movie wastes no time in getting to the point. That being a Megaladon was released from some ancient ice that melted, so they made a large robot shark to combat it. All within the first ten minutes! No build up what so ever. Any feeling they try to get out of the audience they throw out in random exposition with, 'my brother/son/friend/second cousin twice removed on my uncle's side was killed by this thing'. Not even a flashback to show it. Just a partial sentence spewed out.

That aside the Mecha Shark is actually pretty awesome. It's like JARVIS and Jaws had a love child, and it's great to watch in action, even making a superhero move by intercepting the mega shark from attacking a plane. The thing is run by a AI and yet it needs a human pilot. Thankfully the AI (called Nero), has to point out it can pilot it alone after the driver is almost killed halfway through the movie, and is given permission to do so.

A couple of ships are lost at this point, without even a scratch on the shark. Which makes me wonder WHY WEREN'T ALL THE SHIPS CALLED BACK WHEN WAY BEFORE THIS POINT PEOPLE WERE ALREADY DYING FROM THIS FUCKER. The people in this are more stupid than the mayor from Jaws.

The two sharks get in a fight and somehow the mecha gets launched out of the water and ends up in the middle of fucking Sydney. The thing got over ridden by a 'kill all' system, which fucking sucks cause Nero was almost a better character than half the characters. Mecha goes on a rampage after acquiring tank feet by going amphibian mode, and they have to get it back in the water in hopes the two monsters will take each other out.

I'm not going to ramble about the rest cause honestly, it wasn't that bad. It was bad but in comparison to SciFi films it's a classic. If you asked me for a movie recommendation, I would probably recommend something good and not this. But if you asked me if this was okay to watch, I'd say ''if you like SciFi channel movies, but don't like a lot of stupid, sure''.

[FryeDwight]

300:RISE OF AN EMPIRE (2014). Pretty good sequel to the original film, although it really overdoes the slo-mo/blood splashing...probably though what real hand to hand combat would be like. A few extra points for having "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath play on the end credits. ***

A case where the idea behind the story was much better than the actual movie. It was the evil kids concept turned upside down.

Doesn't help that you couldn't give a fuck about any of the kids, even tho you get a long boring build-up before the horror takes place.

But at least it wasn't found footage. ::roll eyes::

Loved its old school horror flavor, particularly the location, atmosphere & the tone reminded me of 60s or 70s style of genre film making. The creepy doll parts were nicely done, at least a way better accomplishment than cheap Annabelle. The only disappointment comes with the 'twist' at the end, that kinda gave it a mediocre look.

If there's interest, we can start a Darko thread.

There's different opinions on what's really going on. I'm firmly entrenched in saying the film stands on it's own -- regardless of what even the author says. I found it to be like Jacob's Ladder... it's a dream wherein the dead person tries to make sense of their own absurd death.

The opening shows the engine crushes Donny to death, and he "dreams" this elaborate explanation (time travel) to give his death meaning. When this meaning satisfies him, (at the end) he smiles contently, and is crushed, & "moves on". Perhaps the whole dream experience occurs the half second before he dies "my life flashed before my eyes".

No question many things happening were surreal, which is not consistent with pure time-travel-loop.

No, no and no.

And why? You don't mind reading a whole book but you don't like subtitles?

I like this, and I agree. HOWEVER. There are benefits to dubs over subs, and the one that stands out to me the most is when you're reading subs, you're focusing too much on words and less on what's actually happening on the screen. I enjoy dubs for being able to watch everything and not missing a second of the action or details of the special effects.

I do like subs though, and prefer them over dubs simply because I'm a stickler for getting the actual dialogue rather than a reworded version.

You MIGHT miss a little and if that's the case there's the rewind function.
And during action and/or scenes with a lot of special effects, there's usually less or no dialogue anyway.

To me it's about the art. People get casted for several reasons, I'd like to think their voice is one of those. It's part of who they are and therefore part of the character they play.

[Sculpt]

It's a culture thing.

I would never watch anything dubbed unless it's animated or there's no other version available.

I'm not saying you're a simple-minded moron, I'm just saying I'm better than you. ::cool::::stick out tongue::

Exactly, my sweet Roiffalo!

I've watched a lot of subtitled films, but I'm pretty much done with them. Has to be a very special film for me to bother.

Last subtitled films that were a good experience for me was Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Kung Fu Hustle and Journey to the West. Might notice a trend there... Asian films with slow and simple enough dialogue.

Really, I'm not a speed reader, and I'd just assume kiss a Wookie to trying to catch every typed word while watching a film. Some subtitled films are fine for me (amount & speed of text), others are ridiculous. I'll never know going-in which it will be.

Also, (like some of what Roif was saying) I appreciate the artistry of FILMS and BOOKS, and loathe the unintended jumbled mutant breed of the two. The directors didn't intend to have their audiences' eyes dragged along the bottom of the screen reading text. I want to catch everything going on in the film, as intended. I don't think I can always absorb all the facial acting and important background information while reading the bottom of the screen. I don't enjoy trying. If I don't enjoy it, why would I do it, unless it was important beyond simple entertainment?

Besides, growing up on Japanese cinema and TV, and being a sound guy, I have a high appreciation for good dubbing. And I've enjoyed a lot of very entertaining dubbing. It can be done very well, and I'd like the film industry to build that industry with more professional english dubs. With increasingly good non-english films being produced, there's a big market for it.

Checked this out after seeing it discussed in random thoughts. A group of friends travel in an RV in search of a truly terrifying haunted house attraction. I wasn't really scared by anything but more disturbed by the implications.

I can understand you don't like subtitles but that argument is bullshit.
If you'd care about watching a film in the way it's intented you'd watch it with original audio. You'd hear the right dialogue in the right voice with the emphases at the right moment coming out of the right mouth.
English is my second language. I started learning early. After comprehending two languages you notice a lot goes lost in translation. Besides that words, sayings, expressions, banter, insults,... lose power and effect when translated.
Example: the insult "Cunt!" often gets translated to a word meaning asshole or bitch. Both offensive but a little different don't you think?

Dubbing is lazy. It decreases people's knowledge of other languages and therefore increases stupidity.
Subtitles are useful when it comes to learning more (even when loosely translated).

There's also a big market for bad drugs, shitty bands and useless gizmos.

Yes, subtitled, dubbed, or an audience that doesn't understand the language, it's not the way the director intended it. I considered that a given. I concede that was a poor choice of phrasing on my part; however, I explained what I meant by it, which was not the least bit bullshit.

You seem to forget subtitles are also a translation of the original dialogue. Dub or subtitle, it's the same translation, good or bad... the subtitle writer can get it right or wrong, same as dub writer. Or were you just on a tangent? You can't lump that one in on dubs over subtitles.

I love the voice as well, and the voice cast is important to me. I agree with you. But one tends to lose things in both cases: sub or dub. The question comes down to which film characteristics are more important to you personally.

To you, the voice of the actor cast is more important than missing other film aspects. That's great. I'm not disputing, nor insulting, that value. (Or, you read so fast and well, you never miss anything. That's great too. I'm happy you're that adept at it. Not everyone else is.)

For me, the most important aspects are the visuals, as it's a film; not a book, nor primarily an audio art form. It sucks that the voice is not the same as the actor, but that's one defect I prefer to the other option: missing a random mix of dialogue, facial expressions and background information. That sucks worse for me.

You can say watching dubbed films is lazy... but you should know that's a very cliche, inaccurate, uninformed, and thus, lazy statement. I read a wide array of subject matter all the time. Laziness it not my motivation. I've already clearly stated my reason. If you want to say I'm lying, you're wrong. Do you really believe I haven't studied an array of scholastics and have no interest in other cultures? Don't lump me in with the woefully uneducated and culturally uninterested, just because I prefer dubbed to subtitles. That's not a logical correlation.

Point taken.

They are. But you you can still hear the original voice, intonation, emphasis,...
So I would only miss out on the wrong translations. So, in my case, subs over dubs.

I'm not saying the voices are more important. They're just as important as other aspects.
I'm no genius or anything, I just don't have problem with watching and reading subs at the same time. Should it happen that I miss something, I'll rewind.

Not saying you're lazy, but in general I think it's lazy.
I think if people tried a little harder, they might adapt and dubs wouldn't be necessary. Except maybe the deaf, those bad of hearing and kids up until a certain age

I know you're not some dumb 'murican. Probably should've started our discussion with that.

Started out as just background noise so I could try out some werewolf designs, buuuuut I started paying a little too much attention to them and once again got nothing done... Maybe I should play BAD movies when I draw? ::big grin::

I hate rewinding a movie, especially when I'm watching it for the first time. Takes me away from the film and I feel less invested after I'm caught up.

Like I said I agree and do love subs over dubs on most occasions. I especially got uptight about it during my anime phase some time ago. America can't dub worth shit half the time. I swear they pick voice actors in from off the street sometimes. If I didn't get used to it or it didn't get better that's when subs came into play.

It's a "to each their own thing" really. 8)

Yeah having ADD doesn't help either when watching subs. I don't think this relates to anything you said but it made me think of it. Recently I watched two subbed movies, and enjoyed them very much. Only time I found them bothersome was when I get distracted by a sound or my eyes linger too long just anywhere, and I miss a line and have to rewind. It's annoying but tolerable. But it's also why I can't even read books anymore without a plot line or characters that'll just suck me in almost literally. Otherwise I stare at the page thinking about all the things I could be doing instead. Also why I prefer short horror stories as apposed to long ones.

[Sculpt]

I think if people tried a little harder, they might adapt and dubs wouldn't be necessary.

Actually, I do think you're correct, people do learn to read subs faster & better with practice, of course. Ironically, I've been leaving the Closed Caption on for everything I watch on Netflix (& some other formats) for some 5 years now. It's because I hate it when actors say something undecipherable! Drives me nutso! (which seems to be more acceptable to the industry)

I'm sure I hear things wrong sometimes -- but 80% of the time I ask the person watching next to me, they didn't understand it either, & apparently, they usually don't care. That, & I'm sure they hate when I ask.

So, I've gotten a lot of practice reading "subs" that way. I guess I hate missing dialogue more than watching with CC/subs. ::big grin::

Oh ya, I'll rewind to catch what missed, & freeze-fame the big text. It does take you out of the immersement of the story. One reason I sometimes prefer dubs, like the good old Godzilla films.

Yep, like you said, sometimes I'll be reading a book, & then I'll find myself staring past the page, daydreaming about something else. That ADD? ::big grin::

A Kiwi ghost flick and quite an action packed one.

Had the same issues with this one as I had with House on Pine Street, which were the repetitiveness of the scare effects (sounds, furnitures moving and doors opening and closing). Would have been such a cool ghost flick if what it did at the very end had been used throughout the entire movie. But with that being said, it's hard to be really annoyed about a movie that doesn't contain a single dull moment. Unless you find movies about haunted houses dull, then you're probably better off watching something else. ::smile::

Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs

Godammit why do I keep doing this to myself. The characters are stupid, the story is stupid, the CGI and acting is AWFUL. Theropods eat the townspeople and they try to mix in dramatic build up. That's not the time for build up, that shit belongs in the beginning of your shitty movie, not the end where it's time for the finale of fight scenes!

The gore in here is just about the worst. People fall down like an idiot before the bad CGI monsters can even touch them and blood splatters like a balloon being popped! Or like they just said 'fuck it' and used a photoshop brush. Either way it looks about as real as Dolly Parton's boobs!

The main character, whose name of COURSE is Walker, was injured from bull riding, and yet the build up is getting back on a horse. Well yeah a bull's going to buck you off moron! A horse is a whole other story! I couldn't even try to give two fucks when they had the dramatic slow motion play for him as he got in the saddle again.

There was something else that happened after his injuries that had him abusing his girlfriend or something before he left for three years. They NEVER go into detail about it, and yet for some reason the movie tries to show the sheriff as the villain in this!

Also none of the people in this are cowboys. So the title is a lie. Putting someone on a horse doesn't make them a cowboy. If anything it's; One kind-of-but-not-really-cowboy, two chicks and a black guy who CERTAINLY doesn't die.

This movie was just terrible, stupid, painful and not nearly short enough! In the mood for a dinosaur movie but already saw Jurassic Park a couple thousand times? WATCH IT ANOTHER THOUSAND TIMES. It's better than this!

Tried watching the rest the day after but I turned it off after a couple of minutes. A PG-13 Ice Cube is just sad and Kevin Hart gets more annoying every time I see him. That guy is so unfunny it hurts.

God Kevin Hart is annoying. Why'd you even bother?

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
4/10

"Unrealistic"

The thing that irked me the most was some unrealistic action. Which may sound odd or insignificant to some, but for those who respect the original's documentary style immersion, and remember this remake's "police film" opening, a cartoonish action shot can nudge that car off the suspension-of-disbelief track for the duration.

What was the scene? While Morgan "male friend #1" was running through the bountiful amount of sheets hungout to dry, Leatherface completely lops off half of Morgan's leg with one swing of a chainsaw. It's just physically impossible... Why include that? That's not horrific, that's comical. There's more poorly designed action violence... like when Leatherface stands still while Biel takes multiple chops at his arm. Is this the director of Toxic Avenger?

And when the film has little else to offer -- with unlikable boorish protagonists, sketchy shallow plot, flat villains, and a host of routine horror cliches and shots -- don't diminish the horror with unrealistic action violence.

R. Lee Ermey did a great job as the sheriff. Eric Balfour, as Kemper, held the story together by its threads. Jessica Biel's body was ridiculous, but her character was shapeless and uninspiring.

Fifty Shades Of Black (2016)
C/C-
Spoof on Fifty Shades of Grey starring Marlon Wayans.
Quite average but some fun jokes.
I think the low ratings are exaggerated. Especially when compared to other movies. Remember when IMDB ratings were kinda accurate? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Finally I have time to write all my reviews.

Casino Royale (2006)

I'm not a huge James Bond fan, but I like a good spy thriller, and Daniel Craig's Bond movies have been some of the best in the past few years. I went back to his first Bond outing, Casino Royale, which is arguably Craig's best. In Casino Royale, James Bond has been armed with a license to kill and goes out on his first mission as 007 where he must defeat a weapons dealer in a high stakes game of poker. This movie serves as a reboot of the Bond franchise and shows a new story arc for Craig's Bond, so we see a more vulnerable and less experienced James Bond. There are still some ridiculously fantastic action sequences to behold, but it's obvious that he's not nearly as sharp as he will come to be. The action scenes aren't even the best part of the movie though. The second act takes place almost entirely around a poker table, changing from a spy movie to a more contained thriller. It's suspenseful and incredibly well acted. Casino Royale gives one of the more memorable Bond movies that I've ever seen and set up Craig for a great run in the role.

8/10

Joy (2015)

Jennifer Lawrence made a name for herself by starring in The Hunger Games, and she's easily one of the most recognizable actresses in Hollywood. But what does she do now that The Hunger Games has ended? Her first post-HG project is reteaming with David O. Russell, director of Silver Linings Playbook and American Hussle, which netted her one Academy Award win and two nominations (including Joy). Although Joy wasn't as well-received as their other pairings, it still gives Jennifer Lawrence a movie to carry on her own without a franchise title to support her. Joy is a biographical film about the life of Joy Mangano, the inventor of the Miracle Mop, because evidently she needed a biopic. She grew up in a home where everyone around her had a dead-end job, and her grandmother was the only source of optimism for Joy. By the time she's 30, Joy is a divorced mother of two, working a dead-end job, her parents are divorced but still live with Joy, and her ex-husband lives in her basement. To add insult to injury, her sister constantly humiliates Joy in front of her children. The rest of the film is Joy overcoming these obstacles to become an overnight success with her first invention, the Miracle Mop, and selling the product on QVC. It is one of those inspirational bio-dramas we get a few times a year, but it never feels overly sappy or fake. The real issue is the film's first half which drug on about 20 minutes too long hammering in how much the characters' lives suck. Once Joy makes the prototype for the Miracle Mop and starts her business, the movie's quality picks up immensly. You actually start caring about the characters rather than just saying "Wow, their lives suck." The ensemble cast, which includes Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro, does typically great work and salvages the movie's slower parts. Joy is definitely one of those movies that you really go see for the cast, but it's often fun to watch Joy's race to the top even if it takes a long time for her to start.

6/10

The Big Short (2015)

The financial crisis of 2008 and the men who pulled the strings behind it is a story too crazy to make up, and that's exactly the premise of The Big Short, a lesson in the Great Recession of the United States and a black comedy about the people that caused it. The Big Short starts in 2005 with hedge fund manager Michael Burry who discovers that the U.S. housing market is extremely unstable. Predicting that the market will collapse sometime in 2007. Burry realizes he can profit from the crash by betting against the housing market. His idea is laughed off by major investment and commercial banks, but they accept his proposal, believing the market is stable. From there, Burry's idea is heard by several hedge fund managers and traders, and their profits increase as the housing market crashes. The documentary-style camerawork and dark comedy make this dense subject easily accessible to almost everyone. The film's funnier moments come when some random anachronistic celebrity comes to explain financial terms to the audience, with the best being Selena Gomez. Even with all the black humor in the movie, The Big Short can't help but make you angry at the real-world villains that it's protraying, which is exactly what the movie wants. The Big Short is both hilarious and angering, and while it's obviously not a documentary, it does offer one of the best on-screen presentations of the 2008 financial crisis that is thought-provoking yet accessible.

9/10

The Boss (2016)

To start off, if you don't like Melissa McCarthy, just don't go see The Boss. It's not some surprise role where she showcases her broad dramatic acting talent that will be loved and adored the world over. It's a Melissa McCarthy comedy, and I look for two things in comedies: a relatively likable atmosphere and, ya know, comedy. Funny comedy. The Boss has just enough of both of those to recommend to a comedy fan even if it's not as strong as McCarthy's work with Paul Feig. In The Boss, business tycoon Michelle Darnell is sent to prison for insider trading, and after she's released from prison five months later, Michelle is ready to rebuild her fortune at any cost. She is taken in by an old employee, Claire Rawlins, whose to-die-for brownies present the perfect opportunity to build another dynasty. With the help of Claire, her daughter and her girl scout troop, Michelle starts the brownie making business, but Michelle learns that people she screwed over in the past aren't so quick to forgive and forget. Melissa McCarthy has a knack for making the most despicable characters actually seem someone likable (maybe that's just because I can relate to an arrogant power-hungry business tycoon?), so you never outright hate Michelle Darnell. She grew up moving around several foster families, so it's hard not to show some sympathy towards her character and why she ended up so narcissistic. Although some of the jokes fall flat, there are two more jokes to make up for it, and there's some hilariously memorable lines in The Boss. Although it's not as consistently funny as some of her other work, The Boss should please Melissa McCarthy fans until Ghostbusters this summer.

6/10

Hush (2016)

Mike Flanagan is a director to keep his eye on, especially with the long-delayed Before I Wake. His knack for taking familiar horror tropes and adding a little twist to them has allowed him to make some of the best psychological horror films of the past few years in Oculus, Absentia and now Hush. Hush takes the ever-popular home invasion trope and adds an interesting surprise to the plot: the main character is deaf. This makes for some incredibly intense sequences where someone who can hear could easily get out of the situation, and she has to rely only her sight and touch to survive the night. Even if the home invasion plot doesn't offer much new, there are some incredibly original sequences that arise due to her disability. Also, the intruder cut the lights to the house, so she can hardly use her eyesight to help her anyway. The deaf woman, Maddie, is an author, so she has to come up with several different endings to her books and decide on the right one. She does this several times in the movie when trying to figure out how to get out alive including one part that provides one of the best shocks in the movie. Mike Flanagan creates a home invasion thriller that distinguishes itself from the pack by being both original and brutally effective.

Good reviews! The Big Short has been on my short list since I heard about it on NPR. And Hush is one of the horrors I'd likely see.

Interesting you reviewed Casino Royale, as I recently checked that out again. I think it's one of the top 5 Bond films, along with the debuts of the other Bonds: Goldfinger, GoldenEye, and Live and Let Die.

I think the opening construction yard action sequence in Casino Royale is fantastic. And along with your remarks, this film gives Bond and love-interest real-life emotional depth, and serves up plenty of enjoyable suspense around the poker table.

The Visit 2015

It was ok. Disappointed by the reveal, particularly because I expected most of it. Acting was average. Same with the cinematography. I did not care about the characters or what was happening. Its worth a single watch, but otherwise its not all that great.

This was kinda awesome. The killers very creepy and I liked all the characters, in their own way they added to this films charm and made it very good. Some of the kills were brutal and from what I can tell, all practical effects. That being said they could of dug deeper into the kills, showed more detail instead of just implying. I mean you do get to see some bloody stuff. : )The one dude's mannerisms were sick. Boy would I love to watch him let loose on his victims but we only get to see a glimpse of what hes capable of. The sounds of stabbing and ripping were amazing. Nice to see a film like this in the theaters.

7/10.

Last film Wes Craven was a part of, he was Executive Producer.

This one is on my must watch list!!

Baskin (2015) - the Turkish Horror where the cops stumble across a Cult. Didn't expect much from this as the reviews were poor , so I eneded up really enjoying. Characters were a little better than the usual fodder in a film like this and the main bad guy is kinda cool (in a Angelo Rossitto meets Michael Berryman sorta way)..

I really liked it, maybe because it was something new and not being remade.

Lauren Ashley Carter was amazing. Micky Keating has done it again. The B&W worked here. A beautiful film to look at. Camera work perfect. Laura basically was working by herself. To show your destination into madness and all you use is camera work, facial expression, angles, black and white, music and make it work, well thats brilliant!

The bathroom scene.. ::love::

Another one on my must watch list!
