Imaginary (2024)
Much potential but all over the place
I liked the beginning thought about this. I love horror based on childrens stuff. But I felt like this had too much going on all the time.
I loved the bear-that-wasnt-there plot twist! But then there was a guy? Living in the bear? No? Was it a demon? What demon? Very little was presented here on what this bear actually was. To use it on the cover felt like a cheap click bait.
Going to the other imaginary world was a good thought but that place wasn't something children imagine, come on. That was dark and spooky, it would be much more scary if it was a bright and happy place with something omnious in the back watching.
I'm a huge horrir fan but this felt like it was made by someone who doesn't know how to make horror.
Leave the World Behind (2023)
What an anticlimax.
The top rated comment explains this movie really well. At the end it just feels like you studied for the wrong test.
This was something me and my boyifrned joked about in the beginning. I really hope that this isn't a movie that gives you a thrill just to smack you in the face at the end. I felt like I wasted 2 hours of my life on this, I could have watched something else.
There was peaks that I enjoyed, then it gave me another peak and another one and after 1,5 hours I felt really confused. After 1,5 hours it felt like nothing happened. There was exciting peaks that floated away in nothingness never to come back.
And in the end it was just a big freaking 'meh'.
The Exorcist: Believer (2023)
I could have gone better.
It had some great scenes and I loved the make up and effects on the girls.
But as the most popular comment here says, it was a whole lotta 'meh'. The Exorcist is cult, this feels like a long gone rip off of the Exorcist. If it didn't have some OG characters this could have been anything else. I wouldn't know that this was some movie based on the Exorcist franchise.
It had so much potential but it was all over the place. Many stories at once, it felt kinda boring 90% of the movie until the last part where they wrapped it up. That made me a bit disppointed.
I wish they did an actual remake so we could see what The Exorcist could have looked like in 2023. I really dislike these semi-remakes.
The movie was okay. It was nice entertainment but it didn't feel like the Exorcist at all.
Hereditary (2018)
This is how you make good horror!
This is a masterpiece. I have seen my share of horror, it's one of my biggest interests but it's hard to come across some good horror that sticks with you like this one does.
It has all the elements to make a good horror movie. There's no obvious jumpscares, there's no this or that, there's no obvious CGI. It has all the elements that makes a good horror movie.
It has gore, but not over the top gore, it's realistic and feels natural to the scenes. There's not spurting blood like it's Braindead. It's eerie and gross. It's gore you can almost smell.
It has jumpscares, but suttle jumpscares that's in your face in a good way, and it's not predictable.
Ther characters and actors are amazing, it's real fear, sadness, panic that you can see and can relate to.
It's eerie, it's in your face, it creeps up on you, it tosses you all over the place. You feel uncomfortable and that's the feeling I'm looking for in a good horror movie.
And you have to watch it more than one time to see all the little details that you now understand. I can watch this 1000 times and still feel the same feeling I did the first time.
The Exorcism of God (2021)
Felt flat.
This was all over the place. It felt like it has everything but writers that knew what they were doing. It had too many references to The exorcist so it almost felt like they took those parts just because they couldn't come up with something on their own. The demon isn't even a "real" demon, it's a demon from like Dungeons and Dragons.
The story felt 'meh' all the way through, meaning that there wasn't any good peaks. And the jumpscares were so bad that it didn't even scare you.
The effects were nice though and the actors were good. It had potential but it felt flat and amaturistic, or how to explain it. There are way better exorcism movies out there.
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Beautiful movie but very American
The plot is very standard American. Guns, violence, American culture, calling your dad 'sir', etc. But it's an American movie så fine. But I still feel like the plot were as basic as it could have been. Felt like they just picked stuff from every other worlds end movie.
But it's a very beautiful movie and it should totally be watched for the first time at the cinema. I love the facial expression of the characters, I love the water effects, love the wet effect in the enviroment. Absolutley adored that we meet other "Avatars" and how they approach eachother.
I can't give it a higher rating because of the half assed plot. But I can't give it less since it really is a watch worthy movie.
Troll (2022)
Way too much American culture
I give this movie a 5 because it has some cool visuals, I like the nordic culture and it feels at home watching these movies in an enviroment I myself as a Swede can recognise.
The first part of the movie was pretty good, it kept itself to the Norwegian folklore and surroundings but then if felt like America invaded the whole movie.
It became a cliché. It felt like I have seen this stuff before many times. Stupid high end military/politicans that even with a black and white solution, to a black and white problem, still chose to use weapons, that of course didn't work. Military, big evacuations, GUNS AND MORE GUNS AND WEAPONS AND ARMY, etc. Don't forget about the classic sentimental part that we have also seen in many American armageddon-movies and such.
I think it would be way better and way more unique if they downsized the military part A LOT. The whole troll thing is a big thing in scandinavian folklore, EVERYONE knows about this more or less. It seems just dumb that even the high end military/politicans folks wouldn't consider the old solutions to these old problems.
First part is cool, other part I can live without. I have seen it before. Too bad.
Smile (2022)
Shallow.
Weird thing happens to a person - person is paranoid - nobody believes the person - person seeks people that has experienced the same thing but they are dead/avoids - room with stuff on the walls - finds person closest to the experience - it levels up and the end.
It's a classic and kinda boring set up, feels like I have seen the same setup many times before. It's annoying to once again have friends and family that don't believe her and also have the main character not be honest to others just for the drama.
I would like to see creepy CGI on the monster when it shows up and a more paranoid feeling instead of cheesy jumpscares with LOUD NOISES.
Kinda meh experience. Feels empty.
Chucky (2021)
If you love the original, you will love this.
It's amazing. I didn't have high hopes from the beginning but this is really really good. The old actors are in, it makes it feels like it really belongs to the whole franchise and lore. The doll also looks really great, great animations.
The Deep House (2021)
Good story but kinda flat characters.
I loved the story and I liked that they seem to have filled a whole house full of water. It feels kinda unique to have the majority of the movie taken place under water. Kinda cool!
But the characters were kinda flat and dumb. Wash she an experienced diver or not? If she was, why is she so bad at it? If she is not, why is she diving down there? If she is trying to hold her breath for longer, why is she smoking? Also, there is a, probably solid metal candle holder, floating around. That was kinda weird.
It was a cool movie, but I would like a little more depth to the characters.
Blame (2021)
Flat and boring.
The dialogue was 80% fighting and drama. No depth in the characters at all.
There was some weird and awfully stupid decisions that made no sense, not even in a movie. It was like the characters were really really dumb.
It could actually have some potential if the actors were better and the characters had more depth.
Don't waste your popcorn on this one like I did.
Candyman (2021)
Too much politics, not enough Candyman.
I love the Candyman movies and I was hoping for the best seeing that it was Jordan Peele working on this. But it was just messy. The good parts were really good, the parts about Candyman was something with weight. But the rest of the movie was just as some others say, messy. The politics around it just drowned the movie. I don't watch horror movies, or any movies, to get politics involved, I don't wanna sit there and be annoyed with this stuff I'm watching. It takes my mind off the movie completley.
Ending was great, Candyman was great. The other 85% was just annoying. Don't involve politic views in your movies, please stop.
A Quiet Place Part II (2020)
American movie with a ton of bad decions.
The movie it self, both this one and the first one, was in general good movies. I like monster movies. But what killed it for me was that these movies are packed with so many bad choices that it just makes me angry. I know horror movies are supposed to have some amount of stupid decisions, otherwise it wouldn't be thrilling.
The one thing is the newborn. Toddles aren't silent. Hey, I'm pregnant, lets have a child in the middle of an apocalypse were the monsters go by sound. She had a ton of choices to not have that baby but this is when you know that this movie is American. You could never get away with terminating a pregnancy or getting rid of a small child in a movie like this.
A deaf character is also pretty dumb since this person will never be able to hear if they make any sound themselves, even with a hearing aid, or if someone is sneaking up on them.
Monster is coming? How about standing still? No? After 2 years from the monsters arrived, you haven't figured out that the sound of rain is distracting to the monsters? Or any great amount of sound coming from all directions?
The actors are amazing, the visuals are great. But I can't get over the amount of really really bad decisions the characters are doing. As I said, a small amount of stupidity is normal in horror, but this is just stupid. These characters are freaking stupid.
Animal Crackers (2017)
Great actors and great work, but very confusing.
Note that some great actors are in this, Ian McKellen, Danny Devito, emily Blunt, etc. I know this movie is for kids too, but there are so many scenes semi-stolen from both Pixar and Disney. I can see Jafar rising from the black smoke in Aladdin, Scar and Simba fighting in the end (also when Mustafa falls) etc. McKellen also says 'fly you fool' in this, just like he did as Gandalf in Lord of The Rings. No kid will understand that, it didn't make any real sense in that scene either, the writers could have used something else.
There are some things in the story I didn't get. If the crackers always comes back, even if they're destroyed, why didn't the human crackers come back after the fire? The same with crackers being partly destroyed. Wouldn't it work if they just flushed the bad ones and then they come back again as whole?
Also some subtle adult jokes that I do miss from other animated movies. But I also thought some were a bit stupid. Brocks constant, obvious, O-face was weird.
