The Unspoken (2015)
Good ending to a reasonably good film
Just finished watching this film, aka "The Haunting of Briar House", as part of a horror/chiller Halloween season on a TV channel and I was pretty impressed by it.
Most of the movie was standard, OKish haunted house fare that was peppered (but thankfully not spattered) by some decent gory effects. However, the ending of the film was what made it worth six stars, especially the final scene as the car makes its way to its next destination...
Holocaust (1978)
Meh
Worthy, if dated and often (very often) inaccurate account of the holocaust.
I wasn't aware that Auschwitz accommodated its inmates in such luxury. Books and hairdos are allowed. As are free movement between males and females. Oh, and the Warsaw uprising was apparently based upon stealing a few mp40s from a few silly Germans. I suspect it was a wee bit more well planned than that.
Meryl Streep cries well in this. David Warner evils well in this. Michael Moriarty looks like a young Ben Stone in this.
If you want to see Auschwitz as it was, try "The Grey Zone".
