New Life (2023)
John Rosman's first time directing this feature indie film did a pleasant job and I do appreciate the direction of a virus contagious film
New Life is about this female name Jessica Murdock that has a a virus called embodia but it's actually called the
Cytomegalovirus (CMV). This can be serious contagious because when one person had it then it can get worse to the next person that'll become the infection themselves. The lead performances by Sonya Walger and Hayley Erin are commendable, bringing depth and nuance to their characters emotional journeys. This is actually John Rosman's directorial debut (first film ever directed) is ambitious, showcasing his ability to twist common tropes into something fresh and engaging. The film adeptly handles themes of adversity, hope, and the human spirit's resilience in the face of life's chaotic elements that doesn't know about the virus until it becomes one. There was only a couple downsize to the rating. Despite its efforts to innovate, the film occasionally falls back on predictable thriller conventions, which may detract from the overall experience for some viewers like dog's death and the ending which we've known that early on why is Jessica carrying the virus and spreading to people that doesn't know they had it. This is a very short movie only 84 minutes and there are moments where the pacing stumbles, particularly in the transition between the thriller and horror elements, which could have been smoother. But if I can think of anything else, "New Life" is a commendable effort that stands out for its strong performances and the director's fresh take on overused tropes. While it may not reinvent the genre, it offers enough intrigue and emotional depth to warrant a watch. The film's exploration of life's unpredictability and the pursuit of redemption is both thought-provoking and entertaining, making it a solid addition to the thriller-horror landscape.
Free Time (2023)
This is a Average Indie film that did extremely well in Film Festivals
A film that foreshadows the Great Resignation in a funny yet insightful manner. Colin Burgess looks alike like (Ned Flanders) from "The Simpsons" is a wonder in this truly enjoyable film made up of memorable side characters and great dialogue!
This film ran for 78 minutes very short and starts off with Drew quitting and putting his 2 weeks in, the former boss was not happy, Rajat (his first role) his fellow roommate was talking about why did Drew quit his job and wanted to socialize more, he did just to get out of the house, he took 40mg of unperscriped medicine just so that he can get an hangover. He had drinks, food and spend about $100 that's when Kim Rajat Friend showed up out of nowhere. When Drew see his former boss, there is a rule, do not follow your boss because that's just creepy and hilarious. Drew did had a smoothie with a friend of Drew which to my acknowledge I thought it's a one time date but we don't see Drew friend again. When Drew, Rajat and Kim went to the party which is lame, he spotted (Jesse Pinnick) like I thought it's a going to be a relationship with the two well that only lasted for about 4 to 10 minutes, there was scenes of smooching but Drew interrupted the moment which that made me feel "well that sucked." When Drew was part of his band which he did talked about it, Michael hired a manager because he felt into an deep depression, and its only two scenes and that second scene Drew walked out of the band because of his piano that doesn't fit the music properly. Drew had a argument at his former work, his boss was NOT happy and very angry at Drew, 3 other co-workers left the company, that's when he was homeless (that did not last long) He eventually got hired from a new office job that will pay him well. After he was hired, Rajat said "where are you going?" Drew reply "work." That's when Drew's former co-workers are protesting Drew haha and thankfully he made it at a better environment, and film ends with Drew starts his new day at a new job and that's it.
A film about a young man's struggle on if life is a better journey to have a corporate career or to find his way as a creative independent soul/entrepreneur. A struggle we all can associate with when we are just starting out. A well written and produced film by Ryan Martin Brown (his first time directing) He did well for the first time Hopefully this movie will work its way through the independent film (indie) Industry.
Arcadian (2024)
ARCADIAN is better than The Fall Guy, more violence, more scarier and more right than stuntman dating a director
ARCADIAN is one of those films that is like hmm I might check this out on MAY DAY which that does exist. After watching this film I do have thoughts, when people saw this in other cinemas thank goodness I don't have this film in my crossroads mall theater by Farm and Fleet, three weeks later, yesterday I watched The TERMINATOR, today I watch ARCADIAN. I got thoughts about this when did this film became the scariest creatures as a monster horror can ever get? The cinematography shakes sooo good that the vfx on the creatures themselves looks demonically scary. Nicolas Cage is back was the thought that went through my head while watching his past films in my teenage years. ARCADIAN is a bit slowburn, But I would argue that it's the simplicity of the film that brings it to life. There are life changing messages throughout the film that are hidden beneath a great story and Amazing acting.
The Fall Guy (2024)
I did not find this enjoyable. The Nice Guys, Stay, US of Leland, Blade Runner 2049 & Drive were good Gosling films. This one is toned down for younger audiences.
The Fall Guy released on May 3rd, and one of the highest grossing and most highest ratings on any websites which 10% was approved and appreciated. 10% of Innovative Concept that brings a fresh perspective to the action genre, with its unique blend of humor. 10% of the film's cinematography is commendable, with some scenes truly capturing the essence of the narrative. Finally, 10% of the sound design/effects is immersive, enhancing the overall viewing experience. Now I did however find problems of The Fall Guy, the first was the plot falls into the trap of predictability, making the viewing experience less engaging. Second, the characters developement was a lack depth and their motivations are not well-explained, leading to a disconnect with the audience. Third, the runtime and how can be better for mature audiences like myself. The film suffers from pacing issues, toned down rating and some scenes dragging on unnecessarily while others feel rushed. Trimmed it to 20 minutes with good profanity throughout the film. Fourth was the Underwhelming Performances. The performances, particularly from the lead actors, are underwhelming and fail to do justice to their characters. Fifth was the Lack of Originality, because the film borrows heavily from other action films, resulting in a lack of originality. And finally, the dialogue is weak and fails to convey the emotional depth of the characters. In conclusion, The Fall Guy did had brilliance moments, the biggest problem was let down by predictable plot, lack of character development, and extremely underwhelming performances. It's a film that had potential but failed to fully realize it.
Tarot (2024)
Why this film could of have an R-Rating of "Tarot" would have been more scarier. This was unsatisfied
Tarot is the newest film that comes out The 3rd of May, which why was this a thing? Idk if I would see this Thursday evening at 8:15pm. 2/10 is acceptable because the horror is there but not enough supernatural like EVIL DEAD RISE was. I was predicted that this would have an unrated cut in the physical media release but maybe not or maybe because I would be disappointed, does this film is something that you'll run to buy for $13 ticket? No not for $13, when it comes out on Movie Downloader for free then yes absolutely. So here's the story of what Tarot is about: In the realm of horror cinema, Tarot" emerges as a cinematic attempt that ambitiously seeks to delve into the mystical and often chilling world of tarot card readings. However, despite its promising premise, the film falters significantly in execution, resulting in a final product that is less than enchanting. The narrative, which revolves around a group of college students encountering a malevolent force through a tarot deck, is plagued by predictability and a lack of originality. The film's adherence to conventional horror tropes leaves little room for surprise, and the plot unfolds in a manner that is all too familiar to the genre's aficionados. The ensemble cast delivers with earnestness, but their efforts are undermined by a script that lacks depth and fails to provide a fresh take on the supernatural horror narrative. The characters are thinly written, and their decisions often border on the cliché, detracting from the film's potential to engage and thrill. "Tarot" does offer some not bad moments of intrigue, particularly with the aesthetically pleasing design of the tarot cards themselves. These brief instances, however, are not enough to elevate the overall experience, which is marred by a series of uninspired and formulaic scare sequences. "Tarot" is a film that had the opportunity to explore the rich and dark tapestry of tarot mythology but instead chooses a path well-trodden, leaving viewers with a sense of what could have been. It is a movie that may momentarily distract but ultimately fails to leave a lasting impression or contribute anything noteworthy to the horror genre.
Lowlifes (2024)
My First Tubi Original Film not a HUGE Cinematic Budget, Indie Horror is Different
This is shocking but the first film that does not have one Certified Audience neither all Audience score at all. Except two reviewers that put it out to the YouTube themselves. Lowlifes is The Hills Have Eyes meets Were the Miller's, The Were the Miller's type family are the cannibals and your rooting for them a ton while the other folks that served spaghetti and meatballs ate definitely going to be dead, yep only 5 of that family were murdered, 3 of the type Miller family are dead as well as the sheriff. So 9 kills of this film and are we grateful that one cannibal left of the family barely survived from a limping leg. Yep I cannot keep this spoiler free because DRUMDUMS stated that this is harder to do, which is why the spoiler review on the other half needs it for sure. The cannibal family loves blood and raw stuff even cooked delicious. Is the type of indie horror film that is not for everyone, if you have Tubi then I am happy, if not then really Rotten Tomatoes get your reviews straight. My rating 9.6 out of 9.2.
Sasquatch Sunset (2024)
88 minutes of naked Bigfoots is weirdest and Audience may go what and why?
This film features apelike sasquatches as they try to survive. They seem to be the last of their kind and headed for extinction . There is a lot of gross behavior to be seen and some have walked out of theaters. To be honest , I do not think early humoids acted thos way but it is still worth a watch . The music is very good behind the small cast actors. The bigfoot costumes are good too fully naked jeez this is for onlyfans exclusive bigfoot edition. 95% of people won't like, hate in fact. And I agree on many factors. It's pretty gross to watch and not a ton happens, though I think it's wrong to say there's no plot. It's just not a plot in the way we think about a plot. But things do change and stuff does happen over the course of the movie. If you want something very different and sometimes gross check this out. This was like me cussing the film on that road scene what did they do and why wasn't law enforcement could of kill them, only two saquatches were killed in this movie.
Vermines (2023)
Dozens of Creepy Crawley's in a high rise apartment complex is EVIL DEAD RISE with ears.
French horror film which refreshes the genre that is far too under-represented in France (at least poorly). Incredible soundtrack, well-held tension throughout the film. This Dozens of spiders thinking would you know what it is? This is the first time director that came out of nowhere that said. According to Sam Raimi he stated that You should be the next director for EVIL DEAD FILM next year which he is looking for a outstanding director that would make this film intense, yes this french creepy crawley 8 legged creature not just one but hundreds dozens of them that absolutely made me feel extremely intense. My body was wooah definitely good stuff.
Abigail (2024)
Who doesn't Love Vampire Horror & Monster Horror
Well Critics with a Certified Fresh and Audience are loving this film to death because after a controversy of Melissa Barrera getting fired from Spyglass Entertainment due to a social media post about the conflicts during the Hamas war. (BTV) rated this film a 6.5/10 because it did had it's problems, on the other hand (DRUMDUMS) gave this film a higher rating than BTV did (Trapped on a Island) Wow everyone has their own different opinions between the two reviews I watched. When I watched this because every Tuesday is $5 deal. I went ahead and watch this. Let me tell you something the vampire effects was better than just your normal cheesy B-Horror vampire film. The teeth had a different form of becoming one of them. Remember the end of ready or not about these Satanic ritual people explode, good news the sunlight and sticks after stabbing they do explode amounts of practical effects they do have small amounts of CG but that's noticeable. Katherine Newton & Dan Stevens wow back to back after previous films like Godzila x Kong & Lisa Frankenstein, Rest in peace to Angus Cloud, his final film after "Amounts of Drug Overdose" Kev Durand looks like a bodybuild version of Elon Musk, but drew a wee-wee in the side cheek was, why is their a wee wee on your cheek? Melissa Barrera is outstanding performance and I think it took credits for sure.
In conclusion, Abigail was a good way to show Melissa Barrera's on how she does it right, Dan Stevens was good, I should watch "The Guest" sometime. This film did had a not very slow but when the gang are at the bedroom that's when the film's burst out the vampire monster horror extravaganza. What exactly what I should rated this $5 deal. BTV is 6½ out of 10, DRUMDUMS is Trapped on a Island. Hmm how about 7.1/10.
Apocalypse Now (1979)
Last year I starting to watch Apocalypse Now but it is the Workprint Version and I started it last year and did not finished this film almost a year later, oops I was due.
Apocalypse Now is an absolute masterpiece that deserves every bit of praise that it has received. From the stunning visuals to the incredible performances, everything about this film is top-notch. Here are five reasons why I think it deserves a 5-star review:
The direction: Francis Ford Coppola's direction is absolutely masterful. Every shot in this film is meticulously crafted to convey a sense of dread and chaos. The use of sound and music is also incredible, with the haunting sound of helicopters and the eerie music of The Doors creating a truly unforgettable atmosphere.
The performances: The performances in this film are truly outstanding. Martin Sheen gives an incredible performance as Captain Willard, perfectly capturing the character's descent into madness. Marlon Brando is also phenomenal as Colonel Kurtz, bringing a sense of gravitas and danger to the role.
The themes: Apocalypse Now is a film that is rich in themes and ideas. From the horrors of war to the human capacity for evil, this film explores some of the darkest aspects of the human condition. It's a film that will leave you thinking long after the credits have rolled.
The cinematography: The cinematography in this film is simply breathtaking. The lush, green landscapes of Vietnam are juxtaposed with the stark, brutal realities of war to create a truly stunning visual experience.
The legacy: Apocalypse Now is a film that has had a lasting impact on cinema. Its influence can be seen in countless films that have come since, and it remains a timeless classic that will continue to be studied and appreciated for generations to come.
In short, Apocalypse Now is a truly remarkable film that deserves all of the praise that it has received. It's a film that will stay with you long after you've watched it, and it's one that I would recommend to anyone who appreciates great cinema.
The reason I started to watch the Workprint Version is because it has a longer scenes that were not in either cuts, surprisingly shocking but people were correct this is the most important film of 1979, famous director known for The Godfather films, but the Workprint Version Quality it is posted on YouTube which thank you, wasn't the best Quality and barely hear the music score, shot by shot scenes and boy was this film right all along. I was a year due for not watching the entire movie that's because the creator "Sunday Pancake Breakfast" did not posted, there was 12 parts made it shorter but at least I gave it a break for a while and decided should I finished this and today I finally did for the first rime in a year, the critics and audiences are right definitely a watch for sure. Anyway a solid 10/10 plaque movie of the late 70's which it did.
Putevoy obkhodchik (2007)
Trackman (2007) No one talks about it.
Trackman 2007 is about this suspects capturing three hostages from a largest Russian bank and entering the tunnel of a serial killer that uses a specific tool to grab someone's eye out, first of 20% of the film wasn't bad it did had it fun moments, It's very dark and couldn't even see which was expected. Trackman is a Russian Horror Film that tries it's best and unfortunately enough, 80% of the rest of this short 81 minute runtime was just disappointed, characters didn't made any sense, did not get to see a prequel of how the killer started these murders of Russian people, capturing them and pulling their eyes our one by one. This is a Direct-to-Video film that it's bad in many ways, story, writing and script was outdated, dialogue was definitely like really? What exactly did they went with? No special features to an Out-of-Print DVD release, that cannot be more disappointing it is a 2.1 out of 10, wow at least a refund helped a bunch it was only $3.40 at ebay. Unexpectedly at the beginning this is an Sony Pictures Entertainment Company called Monumental Pictures and 20th century fox film that was never seen in a GHOST House Underground DVD release, Not a 20th century fox home entertainment dvd release neither an Sony Pictures HOME Entertainment Release neither.
The only thing I learned from "Trackman" is-the Russians can make crappy movies too. Dubbed in English-it's like the old Japanese Godzilla movies from the 50s' and 60s' the lip movements don't match the spoken dialogue. The cinematography is ugly, the actors are ugly-even the girls-but Trackman turns out to be the best-looking of the bunch and his face is completely covered. A group of Russkies rob some rubles from the Vladimer Putin Savings & Loan and after taking some comrades hostage hide out underground in an abandoned subway tunnel. They walk and walk and walk and talk and talk and walk until they....gasp!!..run into the Trackman who goes after them one by one with a hammer and sickle(okay I made that up) actually he uses a pick-axe and after killing he plucks the eyeballs from the victim. Nowadays in a horror movie everyone seems to lose an eyeball or two. By this time in the movie I was hoping someone would pluck my eyeballs out. Two people escape but who cares? Something else I learned from this movie-when two Russians argue one tells the other to "chill out" and they call policemen "pigs". Trackman 2007, even know the film it's 17 years old. You'll probably not going to see it anyway.
History of Evil (2024)
Keep your expectations extremely low. This is not the best film but did had its moments not rewatchable
"History of Evil" boasts significant potential, drawing inspiration from Stephen King's "The Shining." The film excels in creating an eerie atmosphere with commendable cinematography and sound design. The actors deliver strong performances, enhancing the suspenseful narrative. However, the movie falters in its conclusion. The ending feels rushed and leaves many questions unanswered, undermining the buildup. Despite its promising start, the film's inability to deliver a satisfying resolution diminishes its overall impact. "History of Evil" offers a thrilling journey but ultimately fails to provide a fulfilling destination. Overall History of Evil literally has the same idea as one of my ongoing horror films. This is because of its small nature, cannot use the idea properly. The dystopic idea is quite intriguing, but past struggles, which is the main subject, cannot be exercised well enough. The kills were offscreen which reminds me of 80's slashers.
Venus (2022)
VENUS starts off slow but the climax is when SOLAR ECLIPSE DAY happened
VENUS is a weird one to talk about because the fact of having Ester Expósito as the protagonist of Venus implies good advertising sales for it since the actress is a character that has grown exponentially in recent years within Spanish cinema. The quality of his performance in this film was complex due to the script but that does not mean that he did a bad job, on the contrary, he defends his role with all the energy and professionalism. The Horror atmospheric does not kicked in until a while but it's very slow so it may take a while to get there. This was a excellent film, the score of this film was the best part of the film. Happy Solar Eclipse Day (Watched it in 2023) This is one of the horror films that did not get an honorable mentioned in the best horror films of 2023. Which did came out in 2023, but in film festivals in 2022.
Verónica (2017)
SCARIEST HORROR FILM OF 2017 AND PERFECT TIMING FOR SOLAR ECLIPSE DAY
This is my second watch today, without a doubt one of the EXTREMELY SCARY HORROR FILM OF 2017. Veronica although may not have those jump scares but still will keep you anxious throughout the movie. It is disturbing after watching the whole movie. And guess what. "It is based on a true story."Yes the movie is made by taking into account the report written by the police officer who was given to investigate the case in real life. After completing the case he was so disturbed that he resigned from his job just a month after finishing the case. I am sure this movie is gonna send chills down your spine TINGELING AND GHOOSEBUMPS on those scares. In one scene in the beginning "On the day of the solar eclipse lets just say April 8th 2024, her instructor explains how some ancient cultures used eclipses to stage human sacrifices and summon dark spirits. Very Dark and Brilliant.
Baghead (2023)
Baghead (based on a short film in 2017 of the same name), this was good and definitely underrated horror films for sure.
Baghead was not the scariest film of this year, but it is very underrated horror film, this film was made last year and decided to release this film one year later, what took them so long, it's like OUT OF DARKNESS that was released in film festivals of 2022 and did not get a theatrical release date till two years later, is like why can't they release both of these films in 2023 at the same time. Stupid and Revoking. Anyway, Baghead did impress me with good amount of scares, the main lead (Iris) was the owner after her father died from burning him alive by her wife/mother of Iris. Katie was probably annoyed way too much and wanted her to die, thankfully she did. Neil and the Witcher did not go as planned so Iris is still the owner and Neil wasn't. But in conclusion; Baghead was good and did have a significant impact on Iris herself on how she is still the owner after the ending conclusion. You get approximately two minutes, after two minutes then hell breaks loss.
The First Omen (2024)
Excellent, Brilliant, and Demonically Scary 😈😈😈
The prequel to the 1976 classic The Omen this movie tells the story of a nun who is migrated to Rome under the catholic homage to provide service there .As the plot unfolds she comes to know about the sinister secrets and hidden agendas of the priest and the nuns there .As things get more darker it's come to her disclosure that they have a plot to give birth to the antichrist through the anointing of a child by delivering the baby to the devil .And the rest of the story is whether she would be able to stop it or whether there is more that she's to know about finding the assigned child who is to give birth .Nell Tiger has given a convincing performance as sister Margaret and has captured the essence of the story .Although it isn't the most terrifying and scariest movie out there it is definitely an interesting watch and there are chilly moments and sequences that keep you glued to the story and curious to find out about what's going to happen. The cinematography and background score have been exceptional and does manage to create an eerie atmosphere throughout.
This is a fantastic film. The production is gorgeous, not only is it a well-made portrayal of past Omen films except Omen 4., other than the brilliant slower pace and the sheer patience of specific scenes that enhances the moment, it also throws in 70s era cars and fashion that is fun to see. I thought the classic panning in and out of the camera was very much similar to older films of that era...just wonderful. It's just done so well that I feel this is perhaps the best horror film I've ever seen not just by plot alone but by its close attention to the art form in general. When you see a horror movie, you want to feel somewhat trapped. The movie is that intense. I even found myself looking at dark spots in the theater thinking it was a ghost or demon watching me! You won't and can't be disappointed with this movie, highly recommended.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)
Average not bad Kaiju
In the colossal showdown between the towering Godzilla and the mighty Kong, the stakes are sky-high, but the pacing feels like a runaway train. While I appreciate fast-paced movies, this one left me breathless. It's as if Kong and Godzilla were sprinting through scenes, barely pausing for a breath. The film balances its focus between humans and titans, but the scales tip unevenly. The human side is well-executed, especially with the endearing Jia, who communicates with Kong using sign language. However, the titans deserved more screen time. I craved deeper exploration of their ancient rivalry and the mysterious Hollow Earth. The plot serves up basic meat and potatoes: monsters duking it out. But here's the twist: it's been done better before, back when men in rubber suits stomped miniature cities. The writers occasionally hit a creative roadblock, tossing in convenient plot devices like Kong's bionic exoskeleton arm or Mothra's unexpected peacemaking gig. The action sequences deliver the expected adrenaline rush, but the CGI wobbles at times. Characters, unfortunately, fall flat - bland and forgettable. And despite the film's title, Godzilla feels like a cameo in his own showdown. Skar King, the villain, lacks the menacing presence we crave. The music? Generic and samey, like a playlist on repeat. But hey, it's popcorn entertainment - adjust your expectations accordingly. "Godzilla vs. Kong: The New Empire" is a middling affair, neither soaring nor sinking. It's a monster mashup that leaves you craving more substance amidst the spectacle.
Malevolent (2018)
Low expectations with unsatisfied experience
The two best cast are Florence Pugh (Oppenheimer) and Scott Chambers (Winnie-The-Pooh BLOOD and HONEY 2). The horror atmospheric isn't the best, other characters seems forced too much, the killers mother and son duo are definitely the worst killers, the three triplet girls are trying to stop the killers. That is why they're helping instead of investigating. The mothers ear drums were positively the weakest kill. Scott Chambers and Florence Pugh are two best cast. This is a one-time pass and won't watch this again. Ooof, I'm pretty sure this movie was written by a Netflix algorithm to produce a semile of schlock modern horror made by humans with small budgets. For the first thirty minutes it tries to be an uninspired Blair Witch, then pivots to a generic house movie, and then changes up to torture p___ horror for the last approximately thirty minutes.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 (2024)
BLOODY, BEAUTIFUL, BRUTAL AND SOLID BLOOD AND HONEY 2 DELIVERES THE HONEY AND BLOOD WITH A PLAQUE
Winnie-The-Pooh BLOOD and Honey 2 After walking out of the movie theater, this is without a doubt one of the BLOODIEST, THE BEST, BEAUTIFUL AND BRUTAL LOW BUDGET HORROR Films of this year and does an excellent job. This independent international film from the first film yes I did think two characters from the first film did made it perfect as possible which they did. This film on Winnie-The-Pooh BLOOD and Honey 2 had better cast, better practical effects, Christopher Robin's Flashback, the young Winnie-The-Pooh looks very well done. The dialogue from Tigger sounds similarly to Freddy Krueger and I find that heartwarming, The other dialogues from Owl, Piglet and POOH themselves are definitely the scariest voices that ruins my sisters nightmare forever. The story, writing and script was definitely better as well as cinematography I'd love this film to death and I am excited where this film is going to be in the future, we will see. This 10 Jars of BLOOD & HONEY out of 10 is that perfection. I will see this film again when it comes out on VOD. Winnie-The-Pooh BLOOD and HONEY 2 is definitely one of the best films of this year, Forget SCREAM 6 last year, Winnie-The-Pooh does it incredible and beautiful.
You'll Never Find Me (2023)
The third act kicked me in the boot
This year has seen the release of another slow-burn horror film that is underrated. This film is not only underrated but also quite entertaining but it's slightly close to a 7/10 unfortunately.
The cinematography is well-paced and smoothly delivered, ensuring a steady and unshaken viewing experience. This is undoubtedly one of the strangest horror films I've ever watched, but it's not bad. It could have been worse, but about 60 minutes in, the third act took an unexpected turn. I thought I was going to give up, but I persevered. 'You'll Never Find Me' almost feels like an experiment exploring the modern erosion of societal trust. Its themes and messages are as clear as day, even under the cover of night. Bell and Allen masterfully play with every situational expectation, from Patrick's reclusive behaviors to the innocent young woman who seems destined for a missing person's photo on a milk carton. There is enough bubbling tension and otherworldly suspense to keep us engaged, even if the concept tests our patience at times.
In Conclusion: 'You'll Never Find Me' finds horror in the mere existence of humanity. Despite this, it doesn't fail to be both relevant and horrifying. The third act, in particular, gave me a jolt, as if I'd been kicked in the boot, but it only added to the overall suspense and intrigue of the film."
Madame Web (2024)
Not a bad Marvel Film, this could use some makeup homework assignments.
Not a bad film. I did appreciated Marvel's bad films because I like watching bad Marvel films because to me they're better than highly-grossed films. MADAME WEB could use extra homework assignments. Dakota Johnson & Sidney Sweeney are both horrible actors choice and characters developments. Dialogue and ADR was putting ice on a frier machine at a fast food restaurant. The Villian wasn't so bad could use some work with his homework assignments. Overall experience was decent not the best, but hey at least Marvel tries is best with CGI which they did. I found that fascinating. Other characters choices besides Ben Parker were just disappointed. Using FUTURE as a death, Why would this film borrows early death before happening lets say Final Destination? I don't get it.
La tour (2022)
No blood, no practical effects, just a black fog of nothing, what a waste of 89 minutes.
I mostly love french horror films even the old ones, but this one made me want to throw up and my god probably one of the worat films of the year of 2022 but did not released till 2023, the ending of the film was just lackluster, as well as the entire thing, usually for french films I adore very good scares with practical effects, The Lockdown Tower is disappointed because the scares do ABSOLUTELY NOT do anything, yes the concept is survival and prisoned in the apartment tower I get that but the rest of the film. The Tower is a hellish vision of isolation that must surely have been dreamed up during the pandemic lockdown; it made me want to switch on Family Guy instead. Maybe released in 2020 would be more understandable than releasing in 2023, like really movie, why could this be released in April 2020, then it would be on the good film of 2020. 90% of the film was putting me to sleep 😴 💤 😴 💤 😴 💤 I find it NOT interesting. 10% is well partial entertaining but yeah this is something that make you fall asleep.
You Are Not My Mother (2021)
This was unexpected but good
It isn't often I find horror that I truly love. So much studio horror is same old, same old. This however is another one of those indie gems. Short and sweet, this movie teases you with just enough tense moments to make the scares work. The tone is set from that truly horrible opening, and it just carries through giving you pieces along the way to remind you things are far from okay. Great performances by the whole cast. Highly suggest for anyone looking for a quick horror treat. One of the best contemporary horror films I have ever seen. Genuinely terrifying, brilliantly acted, paced and shot beautifully. I saw this film in theaters the week it released and I have not stopped thinking about it since. If you're Irish, then the horror will be all that closer to home. Happy Saint Patrick's Day🍀
The Zone of Interest (2023)
Cinematography was beautiful but the rest was awful not the cinematography.
First off, the good: the movie was beautifully framed/shot. The chimney lighting up the sky, the steam from the train across the blue sky, the walls that seem to be in every shot, the pastoral scenes amidst the gunshots, screams, and dog barking.
Unfortunately here comes 80% of majority of this film the bads: this is a disapponting movie. It is an interesting exercise in style and atmosphere but has nothing new to say about the Holocaust or its perpetrators. To the extent that it has a message it is the one that Hannah Arendt derived from observing Adolf Eichmann at his trial. It is one hour and fourty-four minutes on the banality of evil.
Immaculate (2024)
Sidney's performance in Madame WEB was awful. This takes a different step
Religion Horror is something that I've been interested in for a while, that is because catholic people like me are more interested in religion horror than ever before. Last Year NUN 2 was underrated religion horror sequel. SISTER DEATH & VERONICA was definitely one of the better and best religion horror into date and has Spanish on Christianity which is a nice touch and does have better scares that does not bother me one bit. Immaculate brazenly, and wisely, abandons its aspirations to "elevated horror" in favor of brash, gonzo exploitation filmmaking, shifting from a story of self-doubt and uncritical obedience to one of self-empowerment and outright vengeance. The film's final act contains some of the most twisted, gory violence this particular subgenre of horror has seen in years, ultimately recalling nothing less than the films of the ultra-violent New French Extremity movement. Of course, the surprising and deeply unsettling depths of its depravities would mean little without Sweeney's vibrant, impassioned performance to ground the insanity in a discernible reality. The subtle gestures and expressions that defined her performance earlier on give way to the unquelled wrath of a woman not just scorned but betrayed in one of the worst ways imaginable. And through the bloodletting to come, Cecilia manifests her own transcendence, and in doing so transforms into the one thing the Catholic Church fears more than Satan himself: a powerful, liberated woman with nothing to lose. I actually rewatch this before seeing Winnie-the-Pooh Blood and Honey 2 and my God, watching this for the second time, yes I had a better seat, yes I do think seeing this again was worth it and yes, watching it the first time was awful, people are talking and crunching on popcorn it's just disrespectful and really have to punch these people out KO.
