Ty for trailer. Does not look like I'd enjoy it, no need for further info. :)

EYES IN THE DARK 2010

Lame found footage about some people trapped in some lodge with some red eyes staring in at them and said red eyes breaking in and killing them all. Adding insult to injury, I'm pretty sure I already sat through it before. ::confused::

Senility sneaks up on us in our old edge yeah?

Black Fly (2014)

A good, gripping indie thriller. Recommended.

(I'm a bit backed up in posting reviews, so this might get a touch lengthy...)

Crocodile
It says “from the director of ‘Poltergeist’ and ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’”, so right away this has high expectations. The photoshop cover looks like shit though so I already have my doubts. So far I haven’t been proven wrong. The story isn’t at all exciting with a bunch of punks having a vacation at the lake.
The croc shows itself very early with terrible CGI, there are some visual effects like a head and tail prop almost right after, but the illusion is pretty much dead now. Despite the fun of pointless gore, I wish that scene wasn’t included, it might have saved us SOME suspense. Or at the very least played down some. Even the blood looks like discount Kool-Aid.
The second kill scene is almost as bad. Very brief and obvious CGI. Horror movies need to learn that ‘jump scares =/= scary’. Take the time to make your effects look believable, the more believable a movie the more drawn in we get and the more likely to actually feel fear for/with the characters. Good characters help too btw. All the ones I’ve seen so far are either complete dicks or Mary Sue garbage.
The croc foolishly makes itself known on an easy attack, and continues to make itself known as it follows two of the morons up river to the house boat that the rest of the group is on. The next death scene that follows is actually fairly good, but how the fuck does a croc destroy a house boat… Was it made of bailer twine and straw?
What’s hilarious though is right after the croc is known, I wonder ‘okay how long til one of these idiots goes in the water?’ It was almost immediate. Instead of walking off the boat onto land (which at this point is run aground), they jump in the water to get away from the boat… WHY. By SOME idiot miracle none of them get ate.
Sheriff starts finding body parts and consults a couple of local yocals who have some gators, and inform him what he’s after. A croc out of an Egyptian legend… I don’t think this takes place in Egypt… By the look of the people and sound of their accents it sounds very American based. So wtf is with the Egyptian angle?
I hate all these kids so fucking much. They piss and whine which is understandable in their situation, but they scream at each other and don’t work together to help their situation at all. Why would these people even vacation together if they talk like they hate each other?
When the croc is finally shown in full body to chase the kids through the brush… I wish I had more hands to cover my face. When your CGI makes SCIFI look good, that’s a sign to just stop.
Group makes their way into a closed store, croc breaks in and murders some more and sets the place ablaze. One of them gets injured so they carry him in a wheelbarrow. Resourceful. Like when he starts shrieking in their ears about how terrible they’re doing and they could easily just tip him over down a hill or in the river for the croc to finish off.
They make their way to the river where the cop and Crocodile Dundee’s wimpy cousin find them. The croc follows them in the boat, and the redneck in succession makes two stupid mistakes in succession. One by stopping the boat to use a gun that doesn’t even scratch it, and two he didn’t follow his own advice when he tells everyone to grab something when she goes under the boat. Just how fucking stupid… And then for some reason does a Free Willy leap over the boat?! Cop tries to fix the boat and gets ate.
Our number is down to three, and the female of the group is carrying around a backpack this whole time. As if that wasn’t stupid enough, they FINALLY discover one of the croc’s eggs was in it the whole time, causing the crock to chase them. They decide to make a trap with it, which just goes to shit. Mostly because of more terrible CGI. Luckily for the three stooges the egg starts to hatch, the girl gives it back, and the croc decides to take her baby and let them live.

TLDR; In short I’ll be taking this back to Goodwill.
But hey at least the dog lived. Even if it was small and annoying and I wouldn’t have actually cared for once if it was eaten.

Anaconda
This movie is apparently so good that ‘Komodo’ feels it will give them a leg up in sales as they mention it on the cover. When two of your biggest stars are a rapper and Owen Wilson though… Yikesssss…
First thing the movie does is give us some text on the snakes in question. That they are the largest and most aggressive of snakes, and that they will regurgitate food just to kill and eat again. I don’t know where they’re getting such a violent description of the animal. For one if an anaconda sees a human it will turn tail and swim away (as they are usually found in water), that doesn’t exactly sound ‘aggressive’ to me. And if they avoid humans, I don’t think it would want to eat one. More anacondas are killed by humans than humans killed by anacondas actually, and I can’t find a single human death by an anaconda, not even an attack by one. From what I can find, any injuries acquired by the large snakes are obtained by trying to research them, and causing them to act out of self-defense. Just wanted to point that shit out.
That said, the movie itself wasn’t bad. Some CGI of course but it wasn’t the worst I’ve seen.

Tremors 3
As sequels go, this one holds up quite well. My only complaint really is all the unnecessary CGI. You know your effects department is really fucking lazy when they have to CGI in DIRT. Fucking. DIRT. Come on!!

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
When it comes to Freddy vs. Jason, I go team Jason every time. ...But even I felt insulted watching this remake. I should hope Robert England does too. This wasn't NoES, this was Harry Potter, with Nancy vs Voldemort!!

-

Komodo
The story and characters were SO DULL. Which sucks since they had the talent of the special effects creator of Jurassic Park to help make this movie at least decent.

-

Joy Ride
Rusty Nail is underrated as a serial killer.

-

VHS 2
I was introducing a friend who's into zombies to the best zombie story of all time.

Devil's Pass
I love the creatures in this.

Freddy vs Jason
So nice, I watched it twice.

I Know What You Did Last Summer
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
Getting in my summer horror.

Lol, exactly. That or these found footage movies are all starting to look alike!

Ugh. So disappointing to hear. I was really looking forward to this one.

Suicide Squad (2016)
I.M.D.B.

A secret government agency recruits a group of imprisoned supervillains to execute dangerous black ops missions in exchange for clemency, which inevitably leads to chaos.

Mediocre. Characters were fun but most of them were barely given any time; should have taken screen time away from Will Smith to round out the other characters. Action sequences were uninspired and didn't make use of the team's skills. All the fighting was 'they punch or shoot boring enemies for a bit'. Even Enchantress resorts to punching for a bit. Another uninspired, lackluster superhero movie.

7/10

See, I'm confused here because you say it's disappointing, lackluster, and mediocre but give it a 7/10 - A 7/10 makes me think it's pretty good. Just curious - Are you saying that despite it being mediocre, it was still fun? Or something?

Yeah, it's still a well-made movie with good acting, sets, costumes, sound etc. I didn't find myself getting bored. I would recommend giving it a watch, because it's an enjoyable movie, as most of these superhero movies of late are. It's also disappointing (so much more could have been done with these interesting characters), lackluster (the action sequences are incredibly generic and uninteresting), and mediocre (I don't feel it adds anything interesting to a genre of movies that I feel is fast becoming over-saturated in similarity.)

For me, this can go in the 'meh, I was entertained but it's not a very good movie' pile, along with:

7/10 superhero movies:
Age of Ultron, The First Avenger, Thor, Iron Man 3, Amazing Spiderman, Ant-Man, Man of Steel.

For comparison...here are my 8/10 rating superhero movies:
Civil War, Batman vs Superman Extended, Guardians of the Galaxy (9/10), Avengers, X-Men First Class, Deadpool.

Ahhhhh. Gotcha. ::cool::

I still really want to see it. Not sure I know anyone who'll go with me, though.

Wow, is it armaggedon or something? First, repo, then roi, now you! Holy shit!

hahaha - I got a reported post notification and wanted to check in and see if anything needed to be deleted still. Also I'm super-bored at work today. ::wink::

But seriously, where is Repo? Do I have to harass him back online again? ::big grin::

Decent Danish comedy/drama. Would've like a bit more comedy but still an alright movie.

Pretty slow burn or art-house take on pregnancy horror; left quite a number of things unexplained.

Huh, I never got a notification

REPO:THE GENETIC OPERA (2008). Not a big opera fan, but can dig it when there is a compelling unusual storyline and a LOT of gruesomeness! Really good turns by Paul Sorvino and Alexa Vega and Sarah Brightman has an incredible voice. ***1/2

Ghosthunters 2016

3/10

It was too slow. The cinematography was meh. The acting was meh. I tried fast forwarding through it, but I just become too bored/annoyed so I gave up. It could have been great, but too much of it was pedestrian.

Haunter of the Dark - Found footage flick in Russian with subtitles. Great location, really bad special effects towards the end. Russians seem to do better at these. Or maybe they have better abandoned buildings. I feel like I should like more of these, because I like the urban exploration thing in real life, but so many of these Found Footage / Haunted Hospital movies are just terrible. And there are TONS of them.

Where did you find this movie?

And have you seen The Tunnel (2011)? Not sure if it counts as urban exploration but it's set in an old tunnel/sewer system and I think it's one of the better ff movies.

The latest "Star Trek".

It was ok.
Felt somehow lacking compared to the first two...a bit like a direct-to-dvd sequel I found.
It's a fun movie, and again captures the ST universe quite well.
Seems like the cast might be getting a bit sick of their roles or something.
Bad Guy motivation was lacking...and there was a very big plot hole there...

Great effects. The space stuff felt like a slight step backwards though.
Karl Urban continues to nail his character more than anyone.
Too bad Chekov was more or less a background character in Antons last outing as the character.

Hm. I'll probably buy it to add to my collection...just wasn't amazed.

Yes I've seen this a lot. I think the film makers think that if they film in abandon buildings that's all they need to do to make a half-decent horror movie.

Decent acting. Decent story. Well used gore. 80's horror movie music except the one Turkish pop song.Takes about 45 minutes to become really good, but its worth it.

A shitty, low budget "Scanners" wannabe! More like a fan tribute to the 80s/90s flicks with similar subject matter but the problem was the story/script, characterization and some of the cast were really pretty lame & awful to follow.

Is there much of the Original Lovecraft story in it??

A Tale of Two Sisters

Any good? I've been thinking about watching it.

That's my favorite Asian horror movie

Sweet. Thanks, horcrux!

The Big Head, 2013 {Short}

It is was my first watch and I think it warrants a second viewing. I liked it, it had some visually arresting moments and it kept me guessing quite a bit. Overall, it's good but not great.

Awesome. I think I'll add it to the queue.
