Marathon of NOES continues with The Dream Child. Quite liked the way they tried out new things with the dreamscape - it was...fresh and had a visual charm. And I appreciate that they were trying out a new idea rather than rehashing the same plot just to get some cheap kills...just a shame they didn't quite pull it off. Overall, it's an unnecessary, fairly poor film, but at least it tried hard.

"Apollo 18" (2011)
Plot: IMDB Decades-old found footage from NASA's abandoned Apollo 18 mission, where two American astronauts were sent on a secret expedition, reveals the reason the U.S. has never returned to the moon. Phantom's Review: Bad, really bad. The kind of bad that when the film is over you get up and open the doors to let the stink out. Skip it at all costs. -- |
The Woman in Black (2012) A solid 8/10
Lots and lots of complaining going on about plot holes and bad acting, and almost 100% of it is just people who didn't understand it, which is fine by me. It's a solid movie that uses atmosphere, and isn't too heavy on cheap scares (notice I said 'not TOO heavy') Oh, and the scenery is incredible. |
Absentia (2011)
http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...c/Absentia.jpg A pretty slow burn but a very decent & interesting low budget-indie horror about the people who gets missing without a trace...! Though it heavily relied on characters along with the emotional contents of love, loss & then start over but I really liked way how they blend an emotionally moving theme (like losing the loved one & finally deciding to declare 'dead in absentia') with a creepy horror element. The small & amateur cast did a good job with the story. Recommended. >>: B+ Quote:

You hit the nail on the head with Harold and Kumar, imo. I just finished it and did enjoy it. It'll probably be a Christmas movie staple during the holidays from now on. I was disappointed with The Big Year. I felt it was a complete waste of comedic talent. |

Last horror I saw was "Woman in Black" (think that's the name?) Anyway, hearing mixed reviews. Personally, I loved it. I would rate 8 out of 10.

The Woman in Black (2012)
Gotta say I was kind of disappointed with this. It had a few innovative scare scenes and some really nice creep-out moments, a fantastic setting, and some decent camerawork. But overall it felt mostly clichéd; a slight story, not-that-great performances, and plenty of worn-out genre set-pieces. Overall, it was a fun one-time watch, but for me it's not much more than that. |
