Rattlesnake (2019)
Frustating
Either kill or don't. She was given so many opportunities, but her hesitation is beyond frustating. Sure it causes suspense, but in a cheap way. I am certain that it could have been done better. Does she do it? I won't spoil that. I will say that The White Coffin was better.
Kauwboy (2012)
Death, abuse, anger and love.
Kauwboy is about a ten year old who finds a bird that fell out of it's nest. He places it back. but the bird falls out again. The boy, Jojo decides he will take care of the bird, which he has to do secretly, because his father has anger issues, stemming from grief, which he sometimes takes out on Jojo. Being able to shower the bird with love, is a welcome distraction for the boy, who deals with frustration and denial.
The acting is pretty good, especially since Rick Lens (Jojo) is so young. He portrays emotions well. Loek Peters (the father) is doing a good job balancing between anger and love.
This movie is not suited for young children and not "uplifting". In fact, it had me in tears for the most part. Despite this, Kauwboy is certainly worth watching.
Spoiler alert regarding the bird: The bird dies. Not by the father.
Keepsake (2010)
Not too bad
The film isn't top quality, but not horrible either. This movie is for when you are bored. The acting was pretty decent and the gore not too bad (that is: if you are used to something). It has a plot twist that is not much of a surprise, but it does give the film something extra. The idea for the plot was great, but not properly executed. Too many loopholes for the most part. I am left with many unanswered questions that the movie could have answered and that would have made the plot more interesting. Hence the low score. I was entertained for the night being though and therefore it still get's a six. Although I must admit, my expectations were very low, so I was surprised it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be.
