The Snowman ::danger::

That's overall very weird but also very intense and interesting all the way through. It is also very artsy, stylized gory, unique, and original! It's definitely worth a look for those into psychological thrillers who feel like something different!

[classic_horror_fan]

I just saw the "Child's Play" reboot, and it is actually pretty good. The first half is very entertaining and sometimes funny before it starts getting more intense in the second half, then scary. It also has a good mix of the old school done right format and the new school CGI format that actually blends well. The parts with the CGI also look real and lively, and not like the cheap CGI that you can tell is computer animated and added to the picture. It also held my interest from the beginning through the end. This is not normally saying much, but it is a lot better than a lot of the other remakes from the past decade.

They must chew very badly with those teeth, these poor younglings.

That’s the plot of the movie, right? How they manage to get anything to eat. I’m thinking human smoothies.

They don't become cannibals. They have to try survive in the woods from the monster that now wants them because they've eaten human flesh. Its pretty good although they do have the sterotypical group of friends.

Finally got to see Joker. It delivered on every level: the story, the build up, the visuals, the mesmerizing performance by Joaquin Phoenix,... A very bleak story that touches upon real frustrations in our current society. You can debate on wether it lacks nuance, but that does not make it any less relevant.

Two quick side notes:
1) I know that the Batman-movies over the past 30 years have not really delved into the backstory of Bruce Wayne's parents. Are there any comics who did that?
2) I was 17 when River Phoenix died. At the time, he was an icon/cult figure of cinema. Now people only talk about his brother and he seems, for lack of a better word, to be "forgotten". Is that Joaquin's merit, was River perhaps not as good as we all thought back then? Anyway, it just struck me and I wanted to quickly mention it.

They Look Like People (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4105970/?ref_=rvi_tt) - A slow burner that builds up some tension towards the end. I like it because more than aliens or anything else it touches on the fear of losing a friend, of growing apart.

Cargo (2018) Netflix 5/10

I tend to like this type of movie -- hazardous family journey, and Martin Freeman is easy to like, but to me this was mostly a yawn fest. I wasn't feeling the loving family sentiments the film was trying to convey. And everything else was soft old hat for folks who've already seen the classic zombie films.

GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS (2016). My wife loves watching Jack Finch on YOUTUBE with his "Top 5's" and we put this on the NETFLIX cue to check it out. Pretty interesting story and a very good chilling turn by Glenn Close, but once was enough. ***

"The Irishman" (2019) 8/10

I guess if you've seen 1 Scorsese mafia movie you've seen 'em all. Same formula.

That being said, I enjoyed it quite a lot and was entertained throughout the entirety of the 3,5 hours running time. But even with a movie as long as one of the extended Lord of the Rings episodes, the story still didn't manage to tell who Jimmy Hoffa really was. If you didn't know any better you'd think Hoffa was some guy who went to jail and couldn't get a job afterwards. I guess, if you really want to know you'll have to watch the movie "Hoffa" starring Jack Nicholson. And who the hell was the irishman? Was it THAT italian guy or THAT italian guy???

And one last thing. It took me more than a while to get used to the de-aging technology used on Deniro's face in the first hour. He looked like a character taken out of the Final Fantasy movie. He looked like 2011's Captain Haddock without a beard. God... This is what we have to get used to in the future..

"6 Underground" 2/10

Did you watch the entire film?

I only ask because, good grief, the opening car chase is a long, long, long segment... I actually wondered if it was going to take up the entire film length. And I did not like that choice.

However, after the long chase, it does root it self, just enough, to work. The mix of real stunts with the CG stunts is incredibly seamless, almost perfect. It's impressive.

After being a bit annoyed the first 30 or so minutes (I was watching with quite a few family members, and didn't want bail/interrupt), I started to settle in, and enjoy it for what it was. It was pretty much nonstop action, swearing, vulgarity, one-liners, tongue-in-check sentiment. It's almost more of a test, practice film, like what you could add to a film with a story.

If I was by myself, good chance I would have bailed. Heck, I got bored with the extended action sequences in The Hobbit films, and got antsy at moments for the last two Lord of Rings films, so I know the feeling. You would not have liked the rest of 6 Underground. Any sentiment and story was a goo-goo eyed paper mache mask.

However, I should say, I did like the original Bay 'Transformers' film, where the sentiment and story worked for me.

[classic_horror_fan]

I recently saw "Krampus: The Reckoning," which is overall good for a loose independent sequel, with a lot of good suspense, twists, and turns, as well as a good twist at the end on who the naughty girl actually is, not to give too much of a spoiler. I was overall impressed with that one.

I also saw "Good Tidings," that started off entertaining and interesting, but took a dive in the middle, with a lot of poor, sloppy editing, and a good amount of continuity issues. It ends up okay and entertaining, though. I found it worth a look for one time.

I also saw "All Through The House," a Christmas slasher film that pays tribute to the ones from the 1970s and 1980s, and does an overall good job at it. Those who like the "Silent Night, Deadly Night" series, along with "Terror In Toyland," and the like should enjoy this one as well. ::devil::

Finally a movie I'd like to write about.


Starring Adam Sandler.

It feels crazy saying this, but if you're a fan of the Pusher trilogy this might be the movie for you.

2 hours and 15 minutes long and already by the 1 hour mark you feel exhausted waching this due to very fast editing skills. You wouldn't believe it, judging by the poster, But durring the opening credits you feel like you've watch 20 minutes of the movie already, cuz the story just jumps right out of the gate and never slows down until the ending credits starts to roll. And Sandler's performance.... well, don't be surprised to see him at the Oscars.

Wow... Biggest surprise and best flick of 2019 for me.

The Safdie brothers are definitely among the ones to watch for in the future and when I'm done writing this shit you bet I'll go straight to watching "Good Time".

See ya!

Annon (2018) (Netflix original)
8/10

Real science fiction. In the near future, or alternate reality, all humans are implanted with an a local and Internet connection that records what they see and hear, a virtual reality recording, if you will. Seeing what someone did or did not do is easily accessible. A 'police detective' official (Clive Owen) investigates a series of murders... which hasn't been so difficult in a long time... if you can imagine this type of reality. The story alludes to obvious concerns of totalitarianism and (perhaps unintentional) allusions to 'Judgement Day.

I respect this film's commitment to the science fiction topic it's engage in. That's exactly what I want in most sci-fis. The film has excellent production value, including the special effects and cinematography, which doesn't require anything big or flashy. There is suspense, but it's not the film's forte; and those looking for action, romance and comedy, or even character development, will likely find the film lacking. But for those looking for an intellectual engaging and thought-provoking sci-fi, this film delivers the goods.

The remains

[classic_horror_fan]

I just saw Netflix's adaptation of Stephen King's "1922," which is overall well done, and covers the story Stephen King wrote overall well. All of the roles were portrayed perfectly by some very good actors, along with a great director and a great editor. There is also a lot of great scenery in excellent picture quality on Netflix. The buildings, vehicles, and clothes were all looking as if they were back in that time as well. Those who enjoyed that story should not be disappointed. ::cool::

I also saw a weird but interesting psychological horror film called "Don't Knock Twice," which is overall intense and interesting. It also has a decent amount of twists and turns on who a real life child killer actually was and who was actually responsible for the hauntings happening in the story, making it appear to be one person, then another, etc. This also has plenty of awesome looking artsy scenes done very well with the props they had. There is also a bit of mind blower at the end... ::danger::

Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) (currently on Netflix)
6/10

This was the follow-up film to GoldenEye. Interesting concept, and some nice segments in Vietnam, but otherwise not very good. Has an action segment in a printing press building that was both Bond-cliché and not dynamic, horrible flashbacks to the last few Connery/Moore films. Very lacking in heartfelt human connections. Disappointing, as I thought GoldenEye was one of the best Bond films.

I just saw "The Car: Road To Revenge," "Terrifier," and "Murder Mystery." The first one mentioned is the sequel to the 1977 horror classic, "The Car," which is actually interesting and cool looking with its share of awesome moments, despite not being as good as the original, and it shows a good tribute to the original film on its second half. It's definitely worth a look for at least one time. Fans of the original film will and have been reacting half and half to it, though, depending on who and what they were hoping for. "Terrifier" is a comedy horror showing good tribute to the classic horror films from the 1970s and 1980s, featuring Art The Clown doing his things in the big city this time, which is overall well done for a limited budget movie, and worth a look for fans of that genre. "Murder Mystery" is a comedy horror starring Adam Sandler, which is overall very funny, interesting, and entertaining, that keeps interest throughout the whole film. There are a lot of good twists and turns, making it appear as if the killer is one person, than having that person get it to where it has to be somebody else, and so on... ::EEK!::

The Collector (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844479/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt) was a pleasant surprise.

A thief gets caught in a house with what I can only describe as Kevin McAllister after binge watching the Saw-franchise.

Good build-up, tension keeps you going. Nice climax. Good stuff.

[cheebacheeba]

I liked the Collector as well.
Are you aware there's a sequel with the same antagonist & protagonist?
It's called "The Collection".
It was slightly different in tone, and in my mind not quite as good as the first one, but to be honest it was a pretty worthy sequel - leagues ahead of some.

I understand a 3rd one is about to drop sometime this year, currently being referred to as "The Coll3ctor".
I think if they resolved things and kind of left it there, that's a decent stopping point, the series is still fairly fresh at this stage and realistically I don't think we'd want another Saw situation happening.
(though still wish they'd continued from that Goddamn Gordon as Jigsaw storyline)

Here's something you may not know about the collector.
It wasn't the first one.
There is a 1965 film of the same name...and while it's quite different, it actually shares a few elements...maybe not enough to say that the first "new" one was a remake, or even re-imagining (a bit I guess), but definitely some kind of inspiration was taken from this into the new ones.
Different characters and motivations to be sure.
Though a "collector" is still there, and it is about being kept captive in an enclosed environment I suppose.
Of course there was different sensibility in films of the 60's, so the new ones will have obviously radically departed in style and content.

I mean one could theorise that this film *did* inspire the new one/s, as there are a few common elements...just not sure (haven't seen it in a while) how much of a stretch such a theory would be.
I've found no such information to confirm it was even acknowledged by the makers of the newer ones.

As a standalone movie, the 1965 version is actually really worth watching.
I caught it on tv at the age of 14 back in the 90's, and even though I'd been brought up on Nightmare on Elm st, Hellraiser, Childs Play, Evil Dead type stuff, this one managed to draw me in.
More thriller than horror.
It's actually a bit more along the lines of that show "YOU" than the new films bearing the name.
Anyways, if you don't mind stepping back into yesterday, you may want to check it out at some stage.

I mean one could theorise that this film *did* inspire the new one/s, as there are a few common elements...just not sure (haven't seen it in a while) how much of a stretch such a theory would be.
I've found no such information to confirm it was even acknowledged by the makers of the newer ones.

As a standalone movie, the 1965 version is actually really worth watching.
I caught it on tv at the age of 14 back in the 90's, and even though I'd been brought up on Nightmare on Elm st, Hellraiser, Childs Play, Evil Dead type stuff, this one managed to draw me in.
More thriller than horror.
It's actually a bit more along the lines of that show "YOU" than the new films bearing the name.
Anyways, if you don't mind stepping back into yesterday, you may want to check it out at some stage.

Thanks for the tip. I will put The Collection on my watchlist.

[cheebacheeba]

I am a big fan of the 60s film and the novel it is based on but I really can't see any thing in common with the newer film

I guess just the theme of being captive in an enclosed space with "a madman".
I mean I get they're plenty different. The connection is tenuous at most...like I don't think it's that likely.
Then again, who knows who has seen what/when.
The seeds of an idea and all that.

I agree about the dialogue which sometimes sounded completely improvised, but not in a good way. But I give it to Stephen Lang, the guy’s a solid actor. Even in a B-movie like this.

Day Of The Dead: Bloodline This sequel is a lot better than I expected, and is actually one of the better of the "new" zombie films I have seen in years. This one actually has a good plot, well developed characters, good drama and dialogue, great action, good staged combat and stunt work, as well as cool fx and a good picture quality. The plot focuses on a young lady graduating from medical school to find a cure for the zombie virus so that those who get bit don't become one of those things. She does, but at the same time, the zombie infection gets so bad, everybody has to live at safe zones in order to survive, then the zone she's at runs low on meds for a girl there who becomes infected. They are able to go to the University where there is plenty, but they end up losing a guy to the zombies in the process, then one of the zombies crawls under their van, and holds himself up to the bottom underneath it, so he is able to ride back onto the safe zone grounds without them knowing it. It gets even more interesting when that zombie turns out to be one of the female doctor's stalkers from before he became infected, and he turns out to remember and recognize her. The format is similar to the remake from around 2008, but it has an original story with original characters.Those who like the remake should also like this one. Even fans of the original might also like this one as well. It is not like the many cheap crappy remakes Hollywood has thrown at us over the past couple of decades now, but far better than that. I know that last one isn't always saying much, but this is not a let down. ::danger::

The Exorcism of Emily Rose (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0404032/?ref_=hm_rvi_tt) was a good watch. Intense performance by Jennifer Carpenter. That alone makes it worth the price of admission. Laura Linney and the guy from House Of Cards were good too.

The Irishman (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1302006/?ref_=hm_rvi_tt) - The first two hours, well... Maybe you really have to understand Hoffa's* iconic status in order to fully appreciate it, but the first two hours seemed like the song and dance we have seen before in Goodfellas, Casino, you name them. Interestingly, De Niro shines the most in this film when confronted with problems he cannot solve with a gun.

*The first thing that comes to mind is a Maher-joke about a fat union boss ("A position he earned by eating Jimmy Hoffa.")

[classic_horror_fan]

13 Cameras and 14 Cameras has a creepy message about the thousands of people who have been video recorded in homes, vacation resorts, hotel rooms, etc. without even realizing and how easy it could be to install and hide cameras with top technology, which is not only scary but accurate. The stories are about a creepy old man who is a landlord who installs and hides cameras in and outside of the places he rents to spy on and stalk the tenants he desires. He is also very slick and good at covering his tracks, as well as a great fighter, especially for an old out of shape old man who walks real slow. They also have another creepy and sometimes accurate message on never knowing who the landlord really is or what he is really like these days. The films are overall well done with the suspense and interest holding throughout each film. Fans of the old school done right artsy and gory serial killer film genre should not be disappointed with these. ::danger::

I might still give the remake a chance, but I seriously doubt it will touch the original classic! ::devil::

This is a psychological thriller about a musician getting more Champagne at the store for his wife, only to be abducted by Bayley the Clown, then tied up in a dark basement. Bayley the Clown calls the guy Billy, a different name from his own, accusing him of murders he didn't commit, saying he is being arrested for it. After Bayley leaves, the captive musician then gets visits from a police man, a district attorney, his mom, his dad, the officer in charge of his execution, and the like, all played by the same actor. It is a weird one, but everything does fall into place at the end, and it does have a bit of a surprise ending that I will not get into detail with to avoid any spoilers. I recommend that one for the darker psychological thrillers! ::danger::

She then has her father out messing around with one of her young friends, her boyfriend cheating on her with that same friend, only to have things get a lot more crazy and messed up as they went along. The movie really keeps its intensity going on through the end, which is an original and interesting one, to say the least. Those into the darker and more weird psychological thrillers should enjoy this one. ::cool::

Dark Phoenix (2019) 8/10 Very cool movie. Has heart and mystery. Actually I liked this better than Apocalypse. Not many funny moments in this, and the interpersonal relationships are not particularly strong, and it's a bit more esoteric and subtle, but the symbolism and meaning is strong, action is done well, and builds up to many good moments.

THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE (2016). Although some cliched moments towards the end dilute some of the impact, this was a pretty good little effort with a slow buildup full of dread. Worth checking out. ***

I love this movie. Definitely in my top 10.

I kinda agree. One of the better contemporary horror movies. ::wink::

I agree. This one was recommended by some here a while back. I watched it a year or so ago. I wasn't going to watch it originally. But it definitely surprised me.

[classic_horror_fan]

I finally got to see the first two Final Destination movies, and they actually turned out to be two of the scarier movies I have seen in a long time. They really catch and hold on to your attention with the suspense always on, knowing something is about to happen, but not quite knowing when, where, or how! A lot of the death scenes are also things that actually could happen, which makes it even scarier. I also didn't know about Tony Todd playing the creepy coronor in there, even scarier than as the Candyman. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the series soon. ::danger::

This is a feature length documentary on zombies and zombie films, which features scenes from different zombie films from different time periods, along with footage of zombie encounters and interviews with those who either deal with those situations or those who have encountered attacks from zombies before. This includes scenes from the original "Night Of The Living Dead," "White Zombie," "The Brain That Wouldn't Die," "Oasis Of The Zombies," and a funny scene from "King OF The Zombies." It also includes the trailer for an underground indie zombie film and a couple of brief interviews with the guy who made it. There is another clip from another classic zombie film where the zombies come running through the movie screen to come after the movie going crowd, but I am not sure which film that scene is from yet. There are also clips of zombie swat teams catching and killing zombies, interviews with scientists about their research on the zombie virus, a zany scene with a zany preacher ranting about it"raining zombies," and an even zanier interview with a film maker making a zombie film called "Don Of The Dead," while yelling at and firing people on set during the interview. It also shows a clip of "Don Of The Dead"(fake movie inside of the movie) that looks overall killer and intense. There is also an interview with a survivalist explaining how he survived different zombie outbreaks before he and the crew have to turn around and run back to their getaway van as three zombies suddenly come out from the woods. Overall, this is worth a look for fans of the zombie genre, especially for the classic and B-horror zombie films. ::danger::

Vivarium 7/10

I really like these kind of weird mystery flicks. The person who casted Jonathan Aris as the real estate agent is a genius. Too bad his character didn’t have more screen time, cuz he was hysterical.

[classic_horror_fan]

This is a unique serial killer film featuring two of them who would kill somebody, then hide the dead body for the other to find it, while taking turns doing so. it is also about a local talk show host with weird but unique guests, but is unable to get an audience, and eventually calls it quits, then decides to join the mafia instead. His encounter with the serial killers begins after he finds a dead body in the back of his truck, not knowing where it came from, but is in a hurry to get to the studio for the filming of an episode, and does not call the police then. Later, he gets a visit from Orville, the serial killer looking for the dead body, then gets knocked out as Orville takes off with the dead body. Herman, the serial killer who killed and hid their last victim, gets a visit from a Jehovah's Witness, knocks him out, drags him into the kill room, and ties him to a chair to make him an upcoming victim. The Jehovah's Witness, however, manages to get through to Herman on how only God can forgive him for his sins, and how he can still repent and convert. After Herman repents and lets the Jehovah's Witness go, he then starts going door to door, spreading the Good Word, only to end up getting fed up with too many doors slamming in his face, then eventually snaps, turning back into a serial killer, figuring God will forgive him anyway when he asks for it.

This movie is in black and white format with occasional bright colored scenes. There are plenty of wild and intense graphic gun fights, over the top dark humor, suicide scenes, a very intense and detailed Russian Roulette scene, and even a long, weird but unique and intense scene in the Valley Of Humiliation, where it turns Orville, with it now being his turn to kill somebody and hide the body, chose the Bone Man to be his next victim. There is also a very intense scene with Herman smashing the head of one of his dead victims with a huge cinderblock, and the scenes where he goes door to door, trying to spread the Good Word, are hysterical. Even the beginning is very intense with Herman finding a dislocated foot in the back of his car, not knowing which victim it came from, and using the stars to help him decide who to kill next, before the beginning credits roll in big bright letters with a dark background and a very intense sounding soundtrack. Those who like the old school done right artsy and gory horror films should enjoy this one as well. ::cool::

PET SEMETARY (2019)>>>>>>POSSIBLE SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Stephen King's book is really good and scary and while the 1989 film was hit or miss, there could not have been better casting than Fred Gwynne as Jud and the scene where Gage is killed is extremely well done. My daughter had been acting up that day I first saw it and after getting her to a nap, that scene truly hit home and pointed out how bad things could be.

This starts out OK, but the WICKER MAN bit when Ellie discover the Pet cemetery is quite contrived and a serious foulup by not showing the true and deep friendship Louis and Jud acquire over time; here it's almost like acquaintances that see each other every so often. AND, having Ellie killed instead of Gage just destroys any credibility this has-maybe the filmmakers thought being older, she might be more frightening. A ridiculous ending as well. *

We Summon the Darkness 3/10

Retarded story, dislikable characters and cringy dialogue. Awful movie.


An English Haunting 6/10

What worked was the setting, the score, the atmosphere and the performance by the young man in the lead.

What didn’t work so well was the execution of the story, the weird dialogue, the performances by anyone else than the young man and the grandpa who didn’t look creepy, just indian.

All in all the whole thing felt like a young directors first attempt to make a horror movie. Some things he knew how to do well, like setting up a creepy atmosphere, but then sadly ruin it with jump scares instead of continue the slow creepiness. But he got the right ingredients, the huge castle, the unsetteling music throughout and some good ideas for scary scenes and overall story.
But what the director obviously hasn’t learned yet is transforming a script into a movie, as the story just wasn’t told very well. Also the dialogue wasn’t very convincing either. Very unnatural. Also the characters actions was equally unconvincing. Nobody would’ve stayed in that castle more than a night, but somehow both the mom and son took it like champs.

[FryeDwight]

THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE (2001). Quirky Coen Brothers film that is a Noir film (in gorgeous Black and White) that throws in X FILES elements. Billy Bob Thornton is probably the biggest blank slate imaginable ("I just cut the Hair") and must smoke about 200 cigarettes before the film is over. In true Noir fashion, he tries to improve his lot and it all goes wrong. Good film, but just a little too languid and I found the ending unsatisfying. Worth seeing anddecent performances by BBT, Frances McDormand, James Gandolfini, a young Scarlett Johansen ("Heavens to Betsy, Birdie!") and Tony Shaloub as an incredibly rude conceited lawyer who seems to be making it up as He goes along. ***

Gretel and Hansel, 2020 - 8/10
Audition, 1999 - 3/10

I think my opinions on both of these are pretty unpopular.

Gretel and Hansel's slow burning nature and focus on atmosphere and tension appealed to my preferences. Also, dark magic is always something that interests me. Definitely not without problems though, the only performance I found worthy of merit was Alice Krige's.

I found Audition incredibly boring, the first hour and a half felt to me felt very cheesy and overly simple in plot. Even the final 20 minutes, where the gore and horror comes in, weren't doing it for me. I just didn't really find myself caring.

I haven't seen a "possession" horror movie for quite a long time so I decided to refresh my memory. I wasn't expecting a masterpiece but I'm still disappointed. Such a waste of time. It was boring and full of poor special effects. The plot makes no sense as well. I feel as if someone wanted too much at once and it simply doesn't gel. At least, there are some nice Mexican landscapes shown with a drone.

This was the last horror film I watched.

This Ari Aster fella - (his first film was Hereditary) ... has an incredible grasp of the slow burn .. and the morbidly creepy.

He takes his time, does what few horror film makers do - develops his characters as people rather than simple chainsaw fodder.
He builds a sense of dread masterfully ... not with cheap jump out scares but by tapping into our brains finding fears we didn't even know we had.

Both of his films (so far) are the only horror flicks that left me feeling uncomfortably uneasy, but also exhilarated with the respect for a well made movie - something that's incredibly rare in the genre.

probably not for everyone...especially for those fans of the genre that measure the worth of a horror film by a slasher's teen body count.

Let me ask you this: would someone who doesn't really care for gore like it? I'm good with psychological horror, not so much with gore anymore. Not that it bothers me, but, I don't consider it to be horror. Just gross.

[urgeok2]

there definitely is some pretty shocking gore .. but that isn't the centre of the horror .. it enhances the horror.

hard to explain i guess. it's not slasher 'lets see how crazy each kill can be' kind of gore....

He takes his time, does what few horror film makers do - develops his characters as people rather than simple chainsaw fodder.
He builds a sense of dread masterfully ... not with cheap jump out scares but by tapping into our brains finding fears we didn't even know we had.

Both of his films (so far) are the only horror flicks that left me feeling uncomfortably uneasy, but also exhilarated with the respect for a well made movie - something that's incredibly rare in the genre.

probably not for everyone...especially for those fans of the genre that measure the worth of a horror film by a slasher's teen body count.

I just watched Midsommar for the first time today, and totally agree with you about Ari Aster. I love the way he builds tension and creates real human relationships before bringing in the more obvious/explicit horror. Both Midsommar and Hereditary are films that really stick in the brain, and I almost thought I was really tripping for parts of Midsommar.

Ma -

First thought is that this is probably in the top 5 Blumhouse horror movies. It's tough to do a review without spoiling it. But I'll say that the events that seem to be popular in the United States, well the villain in this movie has more than enough reasons. I really believe that treat people like you want to be treated rule. But some don't. And if they don't, you really should stay away from them as many times bad things come back. And they come back even worse.

Ma is like a really good LMN movie. I thought the scene with the kids attempting to find someone to buy them alcohol was hilarious. I remember a few people I knew in High School attempting to find people to buy them Playboy magazines. But it's odd as I didn't drink till I was 21 as I thought the law was 21 to buy and drink alcohol. I had many chances before but never did. But these High School kids are jumping to drink and smoke. And in the movie, it's like giving candy to babies.

There are a few strange gaps in the movie that I wanted to know the answers to. I guess that's why Ma is still an LMN type movie. But horror fans might enjoy this one. I think this was sold as a horror movie in commercials. I would say it's a horror / thiller type movie. It's funny too and Octavia Spencer is great as Ma.

I saw that when it came out, and I haven't watched it again. But, it kinda sticks with you, you know? ::big grin::

Did you use the vomit bag

DARK LIGHT 2019

A woman and her young daughter are terrorized by something in the woman's childhood home.

It was ok. The mother inexplicably turns into Sarah Conner with a cash and weapon stash and the daughter was a bit "robotic".

Haunt (2019), directed by Scott Beck, Bryan Woods.

One of those movies that is nice to watch, but only once, I guess.
It reminds me of Escape Room (2019) a little bit. Quite fun and gory.

Oculus (2013), directed by Mike Flanagan.

It's a twisted ghost story with eerie atmosphere. I've heard lots of praises about this movie. I wasn't that excited but I think it's a fine supernatural flick for those who are into such things.

The Crucifixion (2017), directed by Xavier Gens.

I'm not much into "exorcism" movies, but this one was just... bland. Quite predictable and not interesting enough to keep me focused till the end.

Started out alright, but the rest of the movie was just the same things happening over and over again. Lost interest halfway through.

I did like the actress that played the mother. Would like to see her in more stuff.
