Patient Seven (2016)
Great New and Imaginative Premise in Horror
I really enjoyed this film, mainly to see the wonderful Michael Ironside. His depth of character is spot on in this film, as a slightly demented psych doctor, or so we are to believe.
Not even thinking of the title, I forgot all about "patient 7". I got so engrossed in each character, it slipped my mind. Alphie Allen's "killer" was a fun thing to watch. From the moment he curses at the children (and let's us understand what night it is, and why he chose to leave the blood on his face!).
All in all, very pleasing film. I will point out however, a bit of continuity mistakes in the time line of the film.
When Michael Ironside is reminiscing about his past and we see the scene of him as a young boy discovering the car, I was disappointed. If he had been imprisoned for 30-plus years, that car model wouldn't have existed! It would have been early to mid 1980s (since you see a smart phone being used by Alphie's killer, the film must be set in at least 2008 or higher). Also, the plastic water bottles they were drinking from didn't exist until well into the 90s.
Shooter: Danger Close (2016)
Major screw up
20:00 minutes into the episode, our hero gets pulled over in the country side by a...motorcycle cop? excuse me? That is not even remotely possible, anywhere in the U.S.A., motorcycle cops ONLY patrol major highways and inner city areas, NEVER, EVER in the country. This is such a blatant oversight of 'reality' in this really spot-on drama that I can't forgive.
