Peopletoys (1974)
A bit boring, but strangely charming and unique
You can tell this movie went into development hell. There's a bunch of plotholes, absurdly slow scenes, and an overall cheap feel. What saves this film in the end is how much the director actually cares about this movie. You can tell he was constantly trying to fix odd stuff throughout the film, but ran out of budget. The film ends up being a pretty unique film, with some of the most unique death scenes imaginable. The cast is fine, considering the fact that most of them aren't actors, though the stunts are fantastic. The effects here are really good, and if you can sit through 6-minutes of slow-motion death-scenes, then I'll recommend this film. Overall, pretty decent film.
The Maid (2020)
Just awful
Where do I even start? The first half of the film is riddled with jump-scares. I personally think that jump-scares are great if they're done well, but here, there are scenes with 5 separate jump-scares, and none of them scared me. The second half transformed into a slasher film which can't decide whether to be all silly with one-liners and the killer dancing around, or all serious when the killer breaks down crying. I will give credit where credit is due, it is interesting to see the two genres being combined, but that still can't save this film. The effects look awful, and there are a bunch of plot holes and convoluted moments. The makeup looks laughable and the setting isn't anything new if you're familiar with Thai media. Overall, just a garbage movie that I shouldn't have seen, skip this one if you can.
