Unfriended

B-

It was silly entertainment and I had to see what all the fuss was about.

True Story

A+

Awesome movie!! Two goofy actors did an incredible job playing serious roles.

Insurgent

A

I really enjoyed this sequel and I felt it lived up to the series.

Jurassic World

A-

I loved it!! I would be soooo geeked if they made rides like that, minus the man eating dinosaurs.

Terminator: Genisys

D

Terrible. It sucked. Pass over it, way over it.

I thought the movie was pretty good, and what's wrong with the name Pfeifer? It's the name of the actress.

"Goodnight Mommy" 7/10

Too much dialogue for my taste.

Heh, just kidding.

Well made, well acted and very predictable indeed. I actually expected it to be more twisty. If the movie just wasn't so damn excruciatingly slow I would've given it an 8/10. But my god!! That's what happens when you only have material for half a movie.

But lovely kids.



20 years later.

I'm watching it tonight.

****SPOILERS****

Goodnight Mommy (2014)

With one of the most genuinely frightening trailers I've seen in a long time and a distinctly Michael Haneke-style atmosphere, I had high hopes for Goodnight Mommy, and it was a little disappointing but not a complete misfire. Goodnight Mommy is an Austrian film about two twin boys who move back home with their mother after she finishes an intense cosmetic surgery. Unusually distant and abusive and wrapped up in bandages that completely cover her face, the boys start to suspect that it's not their mother underneath those bandages. The trailer makes it seem like a terrifying, subversive psychological horror film, but it's horribly misleading. Goodnight Mommy is instead a somber tale of grief and depression. I would be able to forgive that if it didn't descend into a nonsensical torture porn flick in the final act. The entire film, we're supposed to be lead to believe that this woman is not the boys' mother, but there is nothing substantial to make the viewer truly doubt her credibility. The boys just kinda figure that the woman isn't their mother and then start torturing her. The torture felt undeserved. It wasn't disturbing so much as it was just ugly to watch. There's also a plot twist where we realize that one of the boys is actually dead. It's pretty obvious from the first 15 minutes because the mother never interacts with one of the twins, and the dead twin has to whisper what he wants to say to the other boy so that he can say it. The thing that really frustrates me about this movie is how technically well made it is because I can't decide if this is a truly good movie or not. Even though the execution misses the mark, the direction, acting, cinematography and score are incredible. I'm not sure if I really liked this movie or not.

This might be something that I revisit in the future.

Couldn't agree more!::big grin::


****SPOILERS****
Understand the frustration & can't much disagree with your complaints. The trailer, direction and the tone really gave us the high hopes and it had indeed the potential to be something more twisted & original. But I think they intentionally gave away that little twist at the beginning as there are similar movies about that sort of twist already and they only focused the psychology & point of view from Elias' part who is a guilt-ridden, troubled kid. I didn't mind the torture part but yeah...it could try a different route and play & twists more with Mom's character as well. Initially at one point I was just thinking she might be their crazy aunt (the twin sister of her mother) who thinks & claims she's the real mother of the kids OR may be someone, investigating in disguise about the sudden & mysterious disappearance of their real mother!::wink::

Teen Ape sounds boss.

I'd go see that double feature!

I saw Gingersnaps 1 & 2 when I was fairly younger... I don't recall liking them too much. The first I liked enough, but I remember the second boring me to tears. I most likely need to rewatch them though. Not fair to judge them on a vague memory.

It did seem like that's what you meant, but that's okay. Thanks for clearing that up. 8)

The Boy, 2015. 7/10

James Spader is so fucking amazing. He was the best part of Age of Ultron. ...If you know how much I love the Avengers (the good guys not the bad guys) you'd know how much that meant coming from me. ::big grin::

I was just wondering what this movie was about when I found this via a link you made in another topic actually. They have showings in PA. And I REALLY want to see it. I hate having no money and living in the middle of nowhere. 8( http://www.horrorsociety.com/2015/08...esent-the-boy/

The Boy (2015)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...psbnioxx7y.jpg

A decent evil child flick with a sort of art-house approach and that wasn't a good idea for this kind of movie, IMO...as at times it was quite slow & dull.

Ha! Nice one.

The Pact 2

Dull, nothing new to the series visually or experience wise. And maybe its just me, but it seems like the camera focuses on breasts so much that its very noticeable. The lead actress is mediocre, the boyfriend's acting is awful. Even Caity Lotz(star of the first) seemed to be making little effort. Haley Hudson(plays Stevie, the girl with the weird and sunken looking eyes) was great, but her character's 'strangeness' and ability to know paranormal stuff feels like she was just thrown in to be interesting. Like a random monster walking past saying to the main character 'oh, this is why stuff is happening to you' and then ambling on.

2/10

Vampires 2010 Belgian film

Easily described. This film is a precursor to, and probably influenced some way, What We Do in the Shadows and where that film is fun and funny this film is not. The characters actions, words, thoughts, etc seem inane to the theme. The dialogue insults the audience's intelligence, same for the humor. Its not 'low brow', but dull and tired. No great lines like "We're werewolves, not swearwolves!"

Couldn't finish it.
1/10

(Divergent) Insurgent 2015

I don't remember much about the first except that it was mildly entertaining. This was trite and too easily ended. I was able to finish it though. I'm sure there are a lot of comparisons between this and The Hunger Games series. I like the film adaptations of The Hunger Game series, but won't give it any money for various reasons. Where those films are well shot, well acted, and generally well written Insurgent feels like the script was edited by too many hands, some sort of cliche of hollywood film executives ruining it. I do not know if this occurred of course, but the film felt like it did.

4/10

The Boy (2015)
Too much drama and not enough horror for my taste.

Cop Car (2015)
Bacon was great as usual. Rest of the movie not so much.
Starts out alright but then I started caring less and less about what would happpen.

Lost After Dark (2015)
Shitty slasher. Not cheap or anything, just bad.
There's a fake reel missing for some reason. It's a horror movie and you cut out horror? Why? And what happened? Rape? Cannibalism? Both?
Best thing about this movie was Robert Patrick. The poor fella. He deserves better

Coughdownload. Cough! Cough!

Not big on those. I'd rather watch on Netflix or find it uploaded online somewhere to watch if I can help it.

The D-Train (2015)
Turned it off halfway through.
There was a certain scene and after that I was like "No, I don't care what comes next. This is too dumb."

I got a premium account with some filesharing website and it gives me access to almost anything I need and without viruses.
And when I like a certain movie I just buy it afterwards.

Netflix is still in its early stages over here and what they offer is still small.
Especially when it comes to (recent) horror movies.

I love this movie so I had to buy it ::smile::

That was my experience as well.

I still want to see it....

I'm watching Sinister to get ready for the sequel tonight. It's one of my favs.

After 5 movies I think they should change the title to Mission Nearly Impossible.

Sinister (2012)

I gave this rewatch to get ready for the sequel tonight. It's one of my favorites, a very scary mystery crime flick with a supernatural twist.

9/10

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Stopped half way through. Lots of special effects...does not make a movie enjoyable to watch on its own. Bad acting, bad script. Ultron was interesting for about 5 minutes.

Sinister 2 (2015)

When I had originally heard that there was going to be a sequel to Sinister, one of my favorite horror films, I was pretty excited to say the least. Then, early spring this year, the first official trailer was released. I suddenly felt less enthusiastic about the movie, but I still held on some hope that it could be a decent follow-up to the original, until I finally saw it tonight. I read the signs but ignored the warnings, and my punishment was an astonishingly disappointing sequel. Sinister 2 takes place some time after the events of the original film and follows Deputy So And So (that's seriously how he's credited in the film). He has become obsessed with tracking down murders and child abductions that could be linked to an ancient pagan deity named Baghuul, who coerces a child into killing their family and takes the child's soul. It leads him to a farmhouse near the site of a mass murder in a church which he expects to find empty. When he arrives at the house, So and So sees that a mother and twin sons have already moved into the house, and one of the twins is the subject of midnight show-and-tell with the ghost kids' kill tapes. From the first ten minutes, I noticed that something felt terribly wrong about this movie. Deputy So and So was nothing more than comic relief in the original film, and, outside of the big plot twist at the end, he can hardly carry more than a scene by himself, let alone an entire movie. While he is a generally likable character, Deputy So and So just isn't cut out to carry an entire film by himself. His character actually made the movie funnier than it was scary, and there was very little to be afraid of in this movie. If you've seen the trailer, and I'm not exaggerating, every single scare is spoiled in the trailer, and there aren't any surprises left for you. It seems like the filmmakers thought that showing Baghuul off as much as possible could make the sequel scarier than the original, but what made the original so terrifying is that Baghuul was just a shadow in the back of the tapes. You rarely saw him for more than just a glance, and it was scary as hell. In Sinister 2, however, you can practically count the buttons on his black overcoat because he's shown so profusely throughout the movie. Along with a ridiculously over-the-top abusive husband side plot, a weak script and bland direction, Sinister 2 is one of the biggest disappointments of the year for horror.

2/10

Heh!

And after five more, Mission Very Possible.

Ten more, Mission Piece of Cake.

There was a mission? Shit...they just asked me to pick up the paper...

This thread makes me realise every time I look at it how movie starved I am.
Damn kid.
I need to catch up.

I have one waiting to go called "Time out of Mind" that looks interesting.

Earthling 2010

After a mysterious atmospheric event, a small group of people wake up to realize that their entire lives have been a lie. They are in fact aliens disguised as humans. Now they have to make a choice. Live amongst men, or try to find a way back home

Low key. Which can be quite ok, but this wasn't. I watched about 30 minutes of it. People doing things that they wouldn't do unless to further along the plot. Acting meh, shooting meh.

All Hallows eve 7/10

Sinister 2

aaaand? :)

From the Dark 2014

Irish country side. Somehow finding a hand and a stick allows for something to surface from the ground. Then the rest of the film is two people(not who found the stuff) being attacked by demon zombies who are hurt by the light. I realize demon zombies makes i sound cool and campy. Its not like that, not like Evil Dead kind of campy cool. There's a lot of good stuff. Excellent acting. Excellent...blocking? The camera work was very well done. The person doing the filming really knows their job. This seems to imply the director knew how to direct. Visually pleasing, and often. However the story...the script the main characters doing stupid cliche horror film things. And then ignoring the smart things they could easily do. Its annoying.
I was able to make it to the end. Decent ending too. In general, for me, its a pleasure, since its so rare, to have a woman rescuing/helping the man. But she was being just as stupid as he was before. But get a few zombie demons after her and the character is instantly tough and confident. Just not very observant/smart.

I would not recommend, but you'd probably enjoy it at least enough for one watch.
5/10

Broken Horses (2015)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...psdchbdlvt.jpg

Indian filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Hollywood debut by remaking his 1989 Bollywood crime/drama PARINDA, as a gangster thriller which was good, particularly the finale was gritty & shocking. But Broken Horses is just a very pale version of that, a wasted opportunity.
