Southbound (2015)
6/10

I didn't like it. But it was interesting.

Quote:

On a desolate stretch of desert highway, weary travelers-two men on the run from their past, a band on their way to the next gig, a man struggling to get home, a brother in search of his long-lost sister and a family on vacation-are forced to confront their worst fears and darkest secrets in these interwoven tales of terror and remorse on the open road...
Well made, with some fresh ideas, interesting scenarios where I was curious to see where they went, but I was decided disappointed at the conclusive destinations. Empty payoffs; chalk it up to taste?

Interesting to note, on rottentomatoes, vast majority of critics liked it (80%), but 2,400 Audience scored it 54%, which is significant. Maybe critics are relieved to see some craft and variation, but the general audience wants more meaning, heart, good defeating evil, or at least a worthwhile punch in the gut.

I was impressed with the dizzying climax of the early motel scene where the daughter is running into different rooms beyond the father's reach. Would have been an impressive end to the film, which of course, it is.

Honeymoon 2014

Surprisingly good. I had this to watch from a while ago, probably 2014, but hadn't gotten to it. I didn't know/remember anything about it except it was on my list. I'm quite glad I didn't. Its a horror film of course. I'd suggest doing the same, watch it without knowing what its about. It will definitely enhance the experience. If not I'm sure you can look online for information about it.

edit, moving this to a 7/10 from a 6.5. Must see.

A LITTLE BIT ZOMBIE 2012

This answers that age old question....What would happen if a mosquito bites a zombie and then turns around and later bites a really nice average joe? A solid B out of 11.

"The Purge: Election Year" 5/10

This franchise has gone from horror to just plain action. Sad. After a strong start I was kinda bored throughout the rest of the movie.

"Evolution" 7/10

A strange french somewhat lovecraftian horror movie made by a very visually focused director. Just look at the poster. Beautiful. Hope we get to see more horror from this Lucile Hadzihalilovic in the future.

The Secret Life of Pets

Cute movie. Personally, I wouldn't have gone out of my way to see it in the theater, but, it was a birthday celebration for a friend.

Did you like The Purge (2013) a lot?

I just saw it recently. It was interesting. I liked where they were going with it sci-fi-wise, but I didn't think it went far enough with character/social/political issues. Partially because I didn't think the action, suspense and horror were done all that well.

Now that the interesting premise is already known, I'd doubt there's anything left worthwhile for sequels. You'd have to advance the premise to a wider sci-fi political thriller. i mean a great horror director could redo that whole home-invasion bit, but that seems awfully repetitious.

The Purge; Election Year, 2016. 6/10

It was fine. Nothing special as these Purges go on, its losing its 'Horror' ambiance. The first will always be my favorite. ::love::
