Untitled Horror Movie (2021)
Great Fun!
I don't usually write reviews but as I'm watching this the second time, I'm entertained all over again. The cast was perfect together. This is a comedy and shouldn't be taken seriously although I adored all of the characters. The one who played Claire - how much "wine" did she drink? I kept chuckling as it completely made sense. The actress who played Chrissie was adorable. I hope the actors had as much fun making this as I had watching it...twice. Thank you!
The Presence (2010)
I'm Glad I didn't Listen
I wouldn't say I put tons of weight on other people's reviews but I will if the issue is consistent. When this came on this afternoon, it sounded interesting but I came here and the negative comments made it sound as if it would not be a movie I'd like while the positive weren't really helpful--for me.
So, I don't know how helpful this will be but I'm so glad I didn't listen to the negatives. Was it a slow start. Yes. Was it "quiet" for 15-20 minutes? Yes. Was it a bad movie? Not even close.
If you are looking for movies with lots of action, gore and in your face scares, this isn't for you. I happen to like both and this one delivered in terms of spooky but not the in your face kind. It's a story about a woman's growth past what happened to her as a child--something I can relate to. The betrayal of someone she loved and trusted and how does one get past that? Not easily. It was also a story of forgiveness and I believe the ghost was who many people believe it was; otherwise, why would he have asked for her forgiveness? Certainly the other suggested identification would have had no reason to ask for forgiveness--he didn't know her.
The movie had some chills but that really wasn't the movie. If you want a tender story with your chills, by all means, check it out. If that doesn't appeal to you, I would recommend you not--you'll not like it. But for me, I will watch and enjoy this one again.
