It (2017)
Deceiving. Kind of remake of the goonies
It was supposed to be an horror movie. Are you serious? The only scene very scary and horrifying is within the first 15 min. All the rest is comedy, piece of shit, bullshit, absolutely NOT scary at all !!!
The scene you all saw with the face of the clown inside a sewer is very frightening. I was so happy to watch a 2 hours horror movie. I was so happy to be scared to death. But except this very small scene, it is almost a comedy movie. You laugh rather than shivering.
Also it looks like the goonies version 2017. The girl, the fat boy, the skinny one, the intelligent, the talker, the one easily scared, the courageous, etc...
Of course you have the usual stupid behaviour where people split in one direction and others in another oninstead to stay all together.
You have also a kind of fantastic at the end, stuff floating. Well, not really credible with an everyday world. Well ok the clown stuff is not really credible too if you think about it but lets say it is ok. The floating stuff what is that? It seems we are now in a sci-fi movie.
Also this town has a rate of 4 or 6 times the usual kiilings in the country, all that discovered by the fat boy. I mean in this town children disappear at a higher rate than anywhere in the country and NOBODY cares, no journalist or police investigate. NO ONE !!! But suddenly, the little fat boy who has no friend, go to the library, read abstracts from newspapers and make the discovery. He discover every 27 years, something happens. But no adult can do that.
Well the more you watch the movie, the more bored you become. I thought many times to stop to watch it. It is really rare I want to stop watching a movie, but it is so NOT an horror movie.
The goonies is a fucking good movie. Comedy and comedy mixed with a bit of funny horror. But when you expect and get thrilled by a so called horrible horror movie, a scary movie and you end up with a remake of the goonies, yes I've been deceived. An horror movie where I'm not scared? Boring, lenghty.
So people please forget it: except if you are under 10, you won't be scared at all. If you bring you teenager girlfriend to except she will jump in your arms, that last won't happen, she will laugh instead.
4/10 no more.
The Hole (2009)
Start OK and scary, past middle boring, the end is ridiculously stupid. To be avoided.
Do not read if you didn't watch the movie. I give many spoilers. =============================================================== That being said, contrary to the majority, I find this movie really poor. I've just watched it and write my review still warm.
To many stereotypes. The neighbor girl, whose swimming pool at night is covered with beautiful girls and boys having a very fun party. The two boys who are in conflict with their divorced mother. Each time there is a intense scary scene with loud music, you are sure to have someone putting his hand on the shoulder saying "hey, what's the matter? Are you all right?". By doing that we are all surprised and jump on our seat, well, this is what the director tried us to do. This kind of trick is very well known nowadays so one time is OK, two becomes a lot and three we are really bored.
So the beginning of the movie is OK despite some stereotype things, the action intense, you really wonder what is under that bottomless hole. The idea of using a long rope thrown in it and that is cut without warning, well, you wonder what is it. Throwing nails and no sound is heard, very odd and scary. Where this hole is connected to? Using that fishing rod, great too, it seems endless.
But the very good idea, top of the top is the camcorder. However there is a contradiction in that. The two boys and the girl have just use a rope, it breaks. A fishing rod, it breaks too. And they use their own video camcorder and put it along a rope too? They are not afraid to lose it? Well, you see what I mean, I would have never did that. But well, it is a movie and we have to move on.
So they don't go deep, they get back the camcorder, they watch what it has filmed, nothing, dark with some sparks. Then the mother enters, everybody turn to her and only her see an eye on the TV, wondering what it is. This is GREAT !!!!!! This is great and scary, you really start to become scary and upset and you start to feel not very good. As for myself, I started to look under my seat to see if any monster was under.
Then at night the girl on her bed, hearing some far and low voice, good. The little boy attacked by the puppet in the basement, good. But then it starts to become poor and poor. Imagine you are the little boy, imagine you live what he lived, would you be laughing? Would you go back to the basement at night with your brother and the neighbor girl with Christmas lamp everywhere, waiting for the return of the girl everybody saw? Why do they hide this to their mother? Wouldn't you share your feelings, your fear with your loved mother if you lived such terrible moments? Please, all those teenagers have just witnessed a little girl in bad condition and crying blood, in toilets, in home, telling them she doesn't want to die, then going back crawling to the hole and everybody continue his own life? I would call the army but all of them just sit in front of the hole, joking.
Please !!!!! So maybe teenagers and under find such a movie entertaining and scary but once you are over 20, it simply becomes a comedy instead of a terror movie.
And the policeman, head shot, him too crawling into the hole and the boys behaving almost like normal, barely scared. No please, how do you want to quiver? At the beginning you are quivering but the more you move on, the less you are afraid and the disappointment increase proportionally.
As for the end, the jump in the hole, the fight with the father, really ridiculous. Past the middle of the movie, it is boring, the end is stupid.
So all in all, don't waste your money for that movie. Watch it free if you have the opportunity (free theater ticket, etc...), otherwise avoid it.
Les habits noirs (1967)
Awesome
If you like Rocambole or such 1960 french TV series, you will love this one too. DVD video quality is poor, it does not have get any restoration process but we still have the full story. Each episode is short, around 15 min each.
Audio is poor too, not restorated, some dialogues are difficult to hear, you sometimes have to put volume high then reduce.
The story is typically what we got in those old times, it is fresh, mysterious, strange plot. Very enjoyable.
Why do they not air those old TV? I'm sure there would be many too watch at them. And also why do they not make such pleasant series nowadays? I'm not nostalgic, I wasn't born at that time, I'm 30+ only.
Like this other review, I don't understand why people in that TV series didn't have any carrier, because they play awfully good, we do not watch a series, we ARE in the series, we are part of those people.
This DVD is available on amazon.fr and many others french internet stores. The audio is french and there is no subtitle. Yeah, as usual even deaf people are forgotten.
If you understand french, do not miss this one, DO NOT !!!!!!!! :)
