Talk to Me (2022)
Scariest movie I've seen in some time
This movie was INTENSE! 10 out of 10 stars! Super scary, original plot, great writing, great acting! I have NOTHING bad to say about it. The only tiny issue I had, was that I had to add subtitles because their Aussie accents were so thick at times, but who cares?! I haven't seen a horror film like this since Hereditary. I absolutely LOVED it! Highly recommended. I especially loved how they used the 'hand' to get high at first! That was something I don't think I've seen before. I hope to see the main actors in other features because they were absolutely outstanding! I watched it a second time and was just as scared as the first time. What a great horror flick!
Fear (2023)
Meh
This movie could've been so much better! The part about the lodge being a portal to hell with a gatekeeper and story of 'the witches of the dead' was original and pretty scary. Unfortunately, instead of good old-fashioned story telling and plot twists, it was ruined with horrible special effects. The "scary" part was a swirling mess of paint? ..or slugs? Ugh...it reminds me of that movie "Mama" where the cartoonish villain ruined everything. Another horror movie ruined with CGI like so many others. What a waste. The acting wasn't bad. The story started out alright... then things turned cheezy way too quickly. Thumbs down on this one.
Swarm (2023)
Halfway thru Ep 1, I was hooked
Wow! The first episode was phenomenal! I hated Dre as a character, and over time, only grew to hate her more... But that is where the intense fascination comes from. I'm blown away by every move she makes. In the beginning of Dre's adventures, I felt that it was extremely far fetched, but after some time, it was spun into such a beautiful disaster. It was like a rollercoaster ride you don't want to ever stop. My personal fav from the series had to be Det. Greene. The actress who played that part was amazing. I found myself screaming and yelling at the TV multiple times per episode. The cast is SUPERB, writing is top notch, and Swarm is bound to win multiple awards, as well as tons of new fans over time.
Locke (2013)
Tom Hardy IS the movie
***spoiler ahead.......so the entire film, it seems , like it's building up to all these different confrontations.... Which from just 1 man, driving, while speaking to faceless people on his Bluetooth, is Fantastic, Tom Hardy, truly is one of a kind. But those confrontations never happen...the ENTIRE movie is Tom Hardy driving, while on the phone...it was good. But not good enough for anymore than 7 stars.
Remember (2015)
Slow burn, twist ending had my jaw on the floor
It starts out with a basic (if not, a little bit cliche) premise. As it gets going, it keeps you on your toes with all these really close calls for the main character....the pacing, is maybe my favorite apsect of the entire film. When I first started it, I thought it would take time to get me hooked. The skill of these veteran actors, completely draws you in. I have nothing negative to say about 'Remember'. Just when I thought I had it figured out....boy, was I wrong! Fantastic movie!
Cobra Kai: The Right Path (2021)
Amazing!
Of course, I love the show, but this episode in particular, made me bawl my eyes out towards the end. There is a certain part, where I couldn't control my tears ... Just amazing
You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)
Few funny parts
Adam Sandler used to be so amazing... I feel like, in this, he's trying to hard.... The love interest?? Not the best actress, AND way too pretty and young for him, but whatever. It's ok if there's nothing else on.
Upgrade (2018)
Excellent Film
This movie has a little of everything... Action, sci-fi, comedy, drama, suspense, horror. And it def leaves room for a possible sequel? Great twist ending as well!
Thirteen (2016)
Keeps you Guessing
I couldn't tell if what I was seeing was true or lies some of the time... The writing is great. The acting is great. Excellent villian too! Would def recommend
The Strain (2014)
More than just a 'vampire show'
This show is awesome. The beginning to middle can drag a bit at times, but if you wait, and keep watching, it just gets REALLY good. The acting is on point too. There are a few parts that are kinda ridiculous... But other parts that made me bawl. And 'The Born' is soooo badass! Also, KILLER finale!
The Deeper You Dig (2019)
Wow
I honestly cannot believe this film has such a low rating. This movie freaked me out! ...in a good way. I loved it. Good old fashion scary horror movie without the fuss.
The Lie (2018)
CRAZY twist
The main actress "Kayla" is phenomenal, you really grow to dislike her throughout this film. The acting is on point with the entire cast, and the story is great, but the real reason I'm giving it a score of 10 stars is because it has possibly the best twist ending out of any movie I've ever seen
The Hunt (2020)
Keeps you guessing!
Everytime you start to get to know a character...BOOM...they're dead...I thought that was different. The action was intense. The twists were nonstop, and the acting was amazing! Loved it! Only small complaint. ..I wish they went a little deeper into the back stories...not just of the victims, but the Hunters. Mom and Pop were hilarious too!
Monsterland (2020)
Good....but....
I'm halfway through the season. The episodes are amazing, with one huge complaint...the endings....they leave too much...I get how certain programs leave you with questions like, well what happens now? Or wait, how did it end? And that's fine, but this series has that type of ending each time, its just frustrating to leave it so unresolved over and over
Because We Are Girls (2019)
WOW!
I just happened by this on accident while browsing documentaries....I cried and cried and CRIED for these girls! The raw emotion tore at my heart. The bond these sisters share possibly saved their sanity. I truly hope they have gone on to lead happy, and healthy lives.
Cobra Kai (2018)
Love this show!
Having been a fan of 'The Karate Kid' since I was little, this is phenomenal. This updated version does not disappoint. I laughed, I cried, I cheered. In a weird way, the roles of villain and underdog have completely been reversed in a good way. I don't want to give too much away. I would highly recommend giving this show a chance. My boyfriend who is completely unfamiliar with the original Karate Kid is also hooked. I can't wait for the next season, as the cliff hanger they leave for the viewers is incredible!
Ratched (2020)
The Artistry is Magnificent
If you like American Horror Story this is for you, having said that...it would be considered one of their worst seasons. I went in with an open mind, and while it contains plenty of gore (which I have no problem with) the story is old. I feel like the is Asylum 2.0 and it hasnt lived up to the hype. Its worth a watch, but it's not outstanding.
Fear Itself: Echoes (2009)
Worst Episode of the Series
Fear Itself is a fun, little horror anthology....Lots of talented actors, smart writing, great plot twists...however this episode was just straight garbage. I don't have anything positive to say about 'Echoes'! From the terrible acting, to the RIDICULOUSLY predictable, and awful story...I kept waiting throughout for it to get better. Terrible. Just a disaster from start to finish...but again...the other episodes are really cool, and worth checking out.
We Have Always Lived in the Castle (2018)
Had high hopes due to the actors
Boring, dull, uneventful. What a waste of a movie with tons of talent! Something would start to build up, and then fall flat...over and over. I get that everyone in that family was mentally ill in their own way, but it just left me frustrated...especially with mericatt...why did noone take issue with her behavior except Charles?! I don't recommend this movie, except if you like those movies that are described as 'smart, artsy, passion project, etc"
The Girl with All the Gifts (2016)
Excellent movie that stays with you
I adored this movie, the child lead especially! Going into thjs film knowing nothing about it, was perfect! Everything from the story, to the actors, to the effects was amazing. Highly recommend this, if you haven't seen it!
Das weiße Band - Eine deutsche Kindergeschichte (2009)
Beautiful film
Very thoughtful movie....It was poignant and moving. I especially loved the child actors, they did a wonderful job. As a fan of foreign films, I've seen some that I love, and some that were forgetful. I loved this one. This film did a great job building suspense throughout. I also think the black and white was a nice touch. The only real problem I had, was the ending...I guess I wanted to see a resolution? Maybe the moral here is that sometimes, there is none. The movie just sort of ended. I was kinda bummed out by that. Still, an interesting film in my opinion.
Documentary Now! (2015)
My stomach hurts from laughing
I decided to check it out on a whim...I watched 3 random episodes...all hysterical! Wow! Smart, well written, great acting of course...Sandy Passage ep had me crying!
Évolution (2015)
Beautiful, but uneventful
I didn't realize It was gonna be one of those...'Make your own Conclusion' types. The movie really didn't explain much... left me puzzled, with loads of questions...and as much as that irked me..it was beautiful! ...and fascinating. Great acting by the young male lead. I just think it could've done more with the story. Very unique idea
The Red Pill (2016)
Puts things into perspective
I was amazed by all the info that was shared. It's sad at times, made me angry at times. It's very well done, and could/should change people's minds...unfortunately, I think a lot of people won't give it a chance. It really makes you question life, and gender roles. I enjoyed it. It was a bit long, but quite good.
