Willa (I) (2012)

Great Story

[9/10 · 29 July 2013]

This film is full of 'first time' mistakes, technical blunders and there was obviously not much budget going on here!

Despite that, it is a compelling, sweet and at the same time horrifying story that, in the short running time, makes you feel for these people and what they are going through. The low budget, technical 'mistakes' etc are soon forgotten thanks to this pretty amazing cast of people and the beautiful and haunting music. DP, director, and especially actors did an amazing job on this film and if you know the shirt story the additions and small changes only help to emphasize the situation these people are in. A great Stephen King story, although one of his lesser known ones.

Legion (2010)

Bad angels don't make a good movie

[2/10 · 30 January 2010]

Yet another one of these films where the trailer is actually better than the whole thing. 100 minutes of painful cliché's, empty characters and bad acting. Everything trying to be grand, biblical and touching. Instead it becomes unbelievable, bad, and almost ridiculous. I found myself finding more pleasure from looking at the back of the head of whoever was sitting in front of me. Save your money people.... And the only action the movie contains has already been revealed in the trailer apart from a little possessed child. Feels like this movie tries to be the new Exorcist, tries to provoke and scare but achieves none of the above. You just don't care about the characters and all you think about for the last hour is getting out of the movie theater.
