HF...You Got It::smile::!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


RARE EXPORTS (2010). VERY unusual film, which made Me think of a cross between A CHRISTMAS STORY and THE THING, with a little GAME OF THRONES thrown in. Although there are other characters in the film, RE focuses mainly on a young boy and His Widowed Father, A Reindeer slaughterer is is almost at the end of his rope, financially speaking. Trying to keep Wolves away from his home, He digs a Hidden trap which does catch something. Could it possibly be Santa Claus, or something else?

Quite an imaginative effort and although I've read reviews where it seems implausible the Little Boy would know what to do, I think it works for the story and truly one of the Best, Funniest ending We've seen in sometime. ****

It makes me happy that you enjoyed it!!!

Time to play catch up:

Boo was a nice little ghost flick with a spectacular ending.

Bumperkleef (aka Tailgate) is a solidly done Dutch thriller.

A somewhat unsympathetic family is on its way to the father's parents. On the way over, they manage to piss off a killer that sort of reminded me of Javier Bardem's character in No Country For Old Men. In the opening scene, we see what he is capable of, thus making it a bit disappointing that the film only had one kill.

However, there are good things about it as well. The confrontations are tension filled, built up by a good score. And near the end, it has a nice twist, reminiscent of Phone Booth and the only moment we see Kiefer Sutherland in it too. The actual end is a tad underwhelming, ending a minute too early, keeping us from seeing something that would have been predictable, yet add to the story and tension.

The Blair Witch Project*

I remember watching this in the theatre when it came out and being terrified. Also, I wondered wether it stood the test of time. Then, reading how a review here said this film has not aged well peaked my curiosity, so I checked it out again.

I mean, in a way, The Blair Witch Project already earned its place in movie history. It may technically not have been the first one to use this technique (even some bits of Peeping Tom could be seen as a bit of a precursor), it did lay the foundations of what later became the found footage style and set up some of its tropes, paving the way for The Poughkeepsie Tapes, VHS, (rec), Creep, Spree,... So it deserves credit for that.

What about the film itself then?

All in all, it held up surprisingly well. The build up works pretty well and sets up what later became the tropes of the subgenre: the foreshadowing interviews with the locals, the scares that gradually become more and more creepy, the group falling apart,...

You can argue on wether or not the characters are likable, but I think that's beside the point. From what I gather, you can understand the characters and their motivations. Heather wants to keep it together and make the film, so she keeps a strong face until she finally cracks too. Her monologue still holds up as well as the ending shots with her and Mike in the cellar. It still has me on the edge of my seat.

Good stuff.

Rose Blood: A Friday the 13th Fan Film

This one had some good kills and a good bit of fan service, but it just did not do much for me.
