The Black Phone (2021)
Sixth Sense meets Silence of the Lamb
The Black phone borrows or shall I say steals from many other films of its genre. Multiple kids that could see "dead people" and a serial killer who needs his victims to comply to be properly sadistically aroused. And let's not forget the Silence of the Lamb Van scene, where the killer asks the would be victim for help before kidnapping them. You would think that Vinny might've been a little more careful in helping out a complete stranger, considering 2 other kids had just been abducted in the past week. Duh.
That aside, the film delivers in a big way in sustaining suspense through out. The actual black phone works as well, not only as a title, but as a device in creating mystery, and possible escape routes. Because the suspense and mystery outweighs all the cliche's, I give this film a 6 plus, and definitely worth a watch at the theater.
Halloween Obsessed: The Misconception of Witches (2022)
Fascinating and Captivating
This is one of the best documentaries i've seen in years. Fascinating subject matter and extremely informative! Definitely held my interest. Couldn't wait for the next episode. A definite must-see!!!
Lying Eyes (1996)
Not a bad Pedo Stalking movie
Aside from the fact that the main character is a pedophile, (I'll get into that in a minute), this was actually a decent film, for its genre. The film was filled with cliche, after cliche, and unrealistic plot twists. However, what made this film watchable was the lead actress, Cassidy Rae. Not only was she absolutely stunning looking, but in addition gave a surprisingly strong performance. She literally carried every scene of the film to the point you had to keep watching.
Now back to the pedophile part. The film tried to get around the fact that the male lead, was interested in underage girls by pointing out that Cassidy's character was 18. Ok, but what about the fact that he he's hanging out at high school basketball games picking up on cheerleaders. Let's face it, the majority of them are underage, and he never once asked her her age to make sure he was pursuing a legal adult. In fact, the film ends with him back in the stands looking for another cheerleader to obsess over.
That said, the film despite being riddled with cliches, was mindlessly fun to watch. Great sound track too. How they could afford the rights to the Cranberries, 'Dreams" is a small mystery to me. But a pleasant surprise.
Decent film.

Chameleon (2019)
Gem of a film!
Great stylistic film! Thoroughly enjoyable! The acting was terrific. Although this is an indie film; it had the feel of a much bigger budget. Loved the photography and the music!
