The Midnight Club (2022)
Love letter to Gen X and Elder Millennial YA Fans
There was a time before Harry Potter and the internet where we went to B Dalton books and seeked out the latest RL Stine and Christopher Pike. This show is for those people. I lost my mind last year when did they Fear Street and am equally excited for this Christopher Pike Adaption. Especially with. Mike Flanagan involved. This might now be for everyone, but the people it is for appreciate the nostalgia. I hope they do more movies like this. I'd love to see more Fear Street or Pike's Remember me. This definitely not Flanagan's usual level of scares, but the acting is fantastic and the atmosphere still brings the creepy vibe we're accustomed to.
Pledge This! (2006)
What was the writer thinking
This movie was absolutely 100% terrible. I would only recommend watching it in order to make fun of it. The plot made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Whoever wrote this movie had to be on something to actually find it funny. There are dozens of jokes completely miss the mark. All the characters are completely stereotyped but not in a way to make it funny and some don't even fit. The only good part of it was the Yorkie was cute, but they should be charged with animal cruelty for forcing the dog to be in this movie. I don't expect much from the straight to video releases from National Lampoon, but they should be ashamed that years after creating the ultimate Fraternity life college movie they made a Sorority one this pitiful.
Ulli Lommel's Zodiac Killer (2005)
Unrealistic
This movie was almost intolerable to sit through. I can get beyond the fact that it looks like it was shot with a home video camera and that this movie is supposed to span over weeks in time yet the characters do not once change outfits, but the acting broke the 4th wall to pieces for me. I've seen better acting in a 4th grade play. Aside from that the plot is unrealistic. If the man suspected the guy he would have turned him in. I was also heavily disappointed that all the killings were done with a gun what kind of gore is that. That is not a copycat the Zodiac did not kill using just a gun the authorities would have known it wasn't him. Another thing that really bothered me was that they called Disassociative Identity Disorder DSM 4 when that is the name of the book used to diagnose people with mental disorders not the name of the disorder. Overall I think this movie is not the kind of movie that could be done with a low budget at least not as low as they had or they could have made sure they had better actors or more gore. Plenty of people have went the low budget route with out having to use horrible actors look at Easy Rider that had Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson and a low budget.
