Solomon Kane (2009)

Larcenous pilfering of much better works

[4/10 · 2 January 2019]

I am appalled that this movie is not the object of numerous law duits for copyright infringements. It's just a mish-mash of LOTR, Dracula, Conan the Barbarian, Walking Dead and Van Helsing, to name only those.

Predictable and unoriginal with a generous dose of overacting, this would not even get 4 stars if it wasn't for the money and noble effort put into the production.

Keep this one for one of those rainy days with a hangover when you just feel like being brain-dead for a while.

The Clovehitch Killer (2018)

NOT ''Boooooooring''... unless you're prepubescent.

[7/10 · 28 November 2018]

People should have to state their age group when posting comments here. I'm in the 50+ group and loved the slow burning tension of this movie. Most teenagers will post things like ''Boooooooring'' and I understand. No gunfights, no blood and gore, no supernatural mumbo jumbo, no superheroes. Just a glimpse inside the minds of ordinary people living extraordinary events.

Really more of a psychological suspense than a killer-thriller.

Excellent cast, some additional intensity would've been good here and there, but I respect the director's vision of this story.

So many bad movies out there... this is not one of them.
