Jeepers Creepers 3 (2017)
Cheap and gimmicky
Spoilers
This film feels like an long introduction for another movie. As a stand alone it offers little, the film doesn't add to mythology in any way. The characters even tease "we know what you are", then don't add any new information about the creeper.
So what do we know? We know he has a pimped out van, that seems to have a mind of its own. This van is kinda funny, it even spikes its owner. It would seem more fitting for an evil Inspector Gadget then a supernatural entity. Jeepers Creepers shouldn't be funny or gimmicky, the first film was creepy. It was a chase movie, if the creeper wanted you then you were already dead. The Jeepers song (noticeably absent) should fill you with dread. Was the song too expensive? That money wasn't spent on CGI or on a good script clearly. It's disappointing that this film was clearly rushed because i have looked forward to this movie for years
I Survived a Zombie Apocalypse (2015)
dead waste
People have been comparing this show to Dead Set, its not, Dead Set had a sense of danger and panic. I realise this show is suppose to be tongue in cheek, however I expected the survivors to least act scared instead of laughing, smiling and talking about lady gaga. The zombies felt more like decorations then an actual threat. Although the makeup on said decorations was pretty good I liken them to the chickens on big brother. Something to cut to when the contestants were unbroadcastable, the zombies were FILLER. The filler kept at a nice safe distance whilst the survivors discussed their food preferences, I found the discussion about corn beef wonderfully thrilling (cant believe this show lasted an hour).
The tasks felt stupid and unnecessary. In a post apocalyptic scenario I would not risk my life for 7 days usage of a pillow and a sleeping bag (first task). The environment felt too cushy, i don't think a zombie show works with a safe zone. If it were realistic the survivors would ration the water and go without food.
If you like reality TV other shows do it better, the emotional and moral decay required to make this show interesting wont happen in such a short duration and with no incentive. Maybe if they were forced to compete for food or a prize...Sadly watching people work towards a common goal for mutual benefit with little adversity feels abit pointless.
