Apostle (2018)
Laughable story & too much gore
When I'm watching a movie that has a mysterious story, I'd rather see and hear more bits about the mystery than an awkwardly incorporated surplus of torture gore. The beginning starts off luring you in with curiosity-what is going to happen when they find him and why he's really there? Will he somehow evade capture and continue undercover unscathed to rescue his sister? What is the cult worshipping?
The movie quickly descends into a chaotic, cringy, torture fest. It seems out of place and overdone in this movie. The story line becomes so outlandish the entire movie turns into this comic book like cringe fest I only finished because I was committed at that point, plus my 5% hope it would get better.
The story goes from mysterious to laughable. You find out the 3 convicts who started the cult have imprisoned a Goddess-and not just any Goddess, but the deity of the island. So....3 convicts show up on an island with an ancient deity guardian, are somehow able to capture this deity, and force feed her blood and body parts for fertile land? Did anyone review this nonsense? It would have been interesting enough to have a cult engaging in blood sacrifice to the deity, but maybe the deity's enslavement was complimentary to the schizophrenic torture fest?
The women were captured to have babies to sacrifice, but Thomas successfully helps them escape. Thomas, the human, releases and immolates the island guardian, to eventually take her place through his death on the island after he rescues his sister and the other woman. Presumably, the new deity Thomas, will need a new source of blood sacrifice. Very cringe and visually dirty.
Smiley Face Killers: The Hunt for Justice (2019)
Amazing crime documentary with renowned forensic pathologist and passionate retired NYPD detectives
If you have an interest in forensics and analyzing information in suspicious cases, this is a fantastic documentary. They consult with renowned forensic psychologist Dr. Cyril Wecht on the cases. The retired detectives NYPD detectives and the criminology professor are dissecting cases of accidental drownings which are not accidental at all. The way the different police departments react when presented with differing evidence is very interesting to watch. Some of them act like they care but then do nothing. One medical examiner refuses to change the manner of death from accidental to homicide when there are clear ligature marks on the body-which they suspiciously didn't include in the original autopsy report. After the PD refuses to give the family the recovery photos they meet with the DA to get the photos, and this is the only way they would have ever seen or known about the ligature marks.
There is obviously a pattern in these deaths, and it would only seem conspiratorial if you lack the ability to stoically analyze the evidence in front of you-which includes numerous meetings with experts in their field. It is unfortunate this isn't an ongoing series.
Stay Out of the F**king Attic (2020)
Not even worth watching
I can tolerate some cheesy horror movies that others think are bad, but this movie is just too bad and too cheesy. When I read the summary "ex-cons turned movers fight for their lives when they find out their client is a Nazi scientist who experiments on children." I was curious enough to give it a chance.
The 81 minute movie feels more like a boringly painful 2 hour movie. One character is a reformed prison neo-Nazi who tells the others his cleanly done Nazi tattoos are from when he was part of the Aryan brotherhood while in prison. Later in the movie, the mad Nazi scientist calls him out about the tattoos and how they are of the highest rank to their dismay. Towards the end he cuts the tattoos off, which seemed extremely cheesy considering everything else going on, and considering he tricked the doctor to escape earlier by pretending he was still a Neo-Nazi.
The mad Nazi scientist, it turns out, is none other than Dr. Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death. I guess mad Nazi scientist wasn't disturbing enough? Instead of living out his days somewhere in Argentina, Mengele is hanging out in the U. S. in an old run down house where he is still conducting his experiments in a dusty, filthy basement. Seems legit.
The filming also felt sloppy and choppy. The story wasn't presented well, and it was hard to resist zoning out every 5 minutes while you wait, hoping it will get better.
It ends with everyone living happily ever. They all escape after being trapped inside by Mengele and his experimental gasses he could have easily knocked them out with before tying them up and doing whatever he wanted-no, he chose to let them frantically run around the house instead. Ultimately, they all survived due to their savior, the reformed Neo-Nazi.
Srpski film (2010)
Shock troll gore porn by a talentless wealthy "director" who thinks he's super cool
This is the worst film I've ever seen. The depravity of this film is a certain level of evil one cannot put into words. To clarify, horror and gore do not bother me-but this film is absolute garbage. The director, Spasojevic, is quoted as saying "This is a diary of our own molestation by the Serbian government. It's about the monolithic power of leaders who hypnotize you to do things you don't want to do." Spasojevic's father became wealthy in the 1990s, the same decade as the Bosnian genocide. I am curious what the director would know about Serbian molestation by the Serbian government?
To make it even worse, you get the feeling when you are watching the film that the director thinks these things are mockingly hilarious. The film has zero artistic merit and is ultimately psychopathic shock troll trash of a pseudo director with no talent and too much money.
