For Sale (2024)
A contemporary tale of a haunted house - funny stuff with moderate scares.
"For Sale is a delightful blend of fine acting, witty humour and just the right amount of scares. From the start, the story grabs your attention with its intriguing premise and quirky characters, setting the stage for a wild ride of laughs and scares.
The main character's shady business ethics add a layer of hilarity to the narrative, as we watch him navigate a series of dubious deals with a charmingly cavalier attitude. However, when one particularly nefarious business deal backfires, the consequences are swift and severe. The main character's downfall sets off a chain of events that sends him spiralling down a slippery slope, losing not only his girlfriend but also his sense of security and belonging.
As the story unfolds, disbelief in ghosts becomes a central theme, leading to a series of creepy encounters expertly balanced with humour. The scares are moderate but effective, and serve as a perfect complement to the comedic elements of the plot.
While there is a slight lull in the middle of the film, where the pacing momentarily drops, it quickly picks up again and keeps the viewer engaged until the very end. The performances are top-notch, with the cast delivering their lines with impeccable timing and wit.
Overall, For Sale is a film well worth your time. It offers a refreshing blend of humour and horror, with enough twists and turns to keep you entertained from start to finish. So grab your popcorn, dim the lights and prepare for a thoroughly enjoyable viewing experience.
Surviving the Sleepover (2024)
Survived it, yes. Slept over it? Almost.
Watching "Surviving the Sleepover" is an exercise in enduring disappointment. From the onset, it becomes evident that this film is a painful concoction of predictability and amateurish execution. It's not just boring; it's excruciatingly tedious.
The plot, if it can even be called that, unfolds with such blatant obviousness that it's insulting to the intelligence of the audience. There are no surprises, no twists, just a mind-numbing journey through cliche after cliche. It's as if the writers threw together every tired trope in the book without a shred of creativity or originality.
The technical aspects of the film fare no better. The sounds, the music, the acting-everything feels like it belongs in a high-school film project. There's a distinct lack of finesse, with performances that range from wooden to cringe-inducing. It's evident that the cast and crew are out of their depth, struggling to salvage a sinking ship with a budget that can only be described as pitiful.
It's frustrating to think that this "TV movie" wasted two precious hours of my life. Time that could have been spent on something far more rewarding. This work fails to deliver even a modicum of entertainment or substance. It's a hollow shell of what a film should be-a pale imitation of the real thing.
My advice? Save yourself the agony and steer clear of "Barely Surviving without Falling Asleep". Instead, invest your time in a movie that's worth watching - a film with real actors, a real plot, and a genuine story to tell. Your time is too valuable to squander on this abysmal excuse for cinema.
Aranybulla (2022)
Incompetent filmmaker spends taxpayers' money on state propaganda
This was a cheap effort to boost a navel-gazing, yearning-for-the-past propaganda.
A cringy, low-budget production, cheap in its every detail. Even the actors who, due to their average performances, stand out high above all the other aspects of the production, they sold out themselves cheap. Some of them were able to deliver more authentic performances in the past. Guided by a filmmaker. Of some sort. Of any sort.
Unfortunately, Mr. Rakay had neither the vision, nor the means, let alone the capability to make this a watch-worthy piece.
It happend to be another kind of piece. Rather a heap, of.
There was not much money spent on it, and it shows.
Cringe-worthy. Pathetic. Wouldn't call it an effort, though.
For those, who like eight-horse heroic grand-battles:) and the like.
