Hunger (2023) 8/10

Reminded me of Whiplash.

Renfield 6-7/10

Too much action, too little Nicolas Cage.

Had the story only focused on Cage and Hoult’s relationship it would have been a much better (and probably also cheaper) movie. Because their chemistry was great.

DOCTOR MORDRID (1992). A cheesy Full Moon flick involving two battling sorcerers, one (Brian Thompson) out to destroy the earth; the other, our titular character, played by Jeffrey Coombs , is there to thwart his plans and save the Earth.

Not really great, by any stretch, but decent enough way to kill an hour and a half. The whole thing, for Me, has a Dr Strange sort of vibe to it. **1/2

Dog Soldiers
It Chapters 1 and 2

The Shallows is another shark themed horror film about a young lady in med school taking a vacation in Mexico to a secret beach with a lot of great waves for surfing. Her friend meets a guy at a bar the night before, and decides to run off with him and not go to the beach, but she doesn't let that stop her. She ends up surfing alone, and does real well at it, but after she is the only one on the beach, a large great white shark appears, and attacks her. She gets away, and makes it to the top of a dead killer whale, floating on top of the water, but she can only stay on top of that dead whale for so long before that shark can either knock it over or eat its way through. She then spots other things in the ocean, like a giant rock, and a chained station, and calculates distance and time it take to swim to each place, while scoping for where the shark is currently swimming. There is a lot of great artsy scenery, along with a lot of great suspense throughout the film. It also gets very psychological while she tries waiting out the time for a lower tide that might push the shark back, along with scoping the sea for the shark's current location. It also gets nice and touching when an injured seagull keeps her company on a rock in the ocean, and when she finds a way to fix its injury. This one is unique and surprisingly good, and different from most shark themed horror films.

Just so bad.


Mindcage, 2022. 4/10

Directed by Mauro Borrelli



Terrible.

Evil Dead Rise 7/10

I hear lots of people praise this one and the former movie for having the spirit of the original Evil Dead. I disagree. I think they both lack the creativity of Raimi and most of all charismatic characters. The only people you remember in the new movies are the possessed characters.


Beau is Afraid 8/10

A 3 hour non-stop mindfuck on a level with David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" and "Eraserhead". Definitely not for everyone, but I liked it.
