The First Omen (2024)
So much potential ruined by weirdo fantasies
The movie's cinematography was absolutely stunning. The outfits, set design, even cast were all awesome! The opening scene was really interesting and made me incredibly hyped to see a new iteration of the Antichrist story that I hold so near and dear to my heart. The horror scenes worked really well and even if the jumpscares didn't get me I enjoyed them a lot.
But why the rape scenes? Why do we need to see constant gorey births? It's just so unnecessary. It's not even scary.. It's just awkward to watch scenes of women being constantly exploited. The whole movie is a weird birthing and rape fantasy that shouldn't be affiliated with the original trilogy. If someone you know loves this movie.. Keep an eye on them.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
Is it really that bad? Yes. Yes it is.
I liked the soundtrack, costume designs and Neo's "insanity" with the blue pills (the blue pill concept was shown in one of the trailers and it was one of the reasons I got hyped about this movie). Literally everything else about this movie is bland and terrible. I have never slept in a cinema before but I guess I can't say that anymore. As soon as I woke up I wanted the movie to just end.
Omerta 6/12 (2021)
Surprisingly enjoyable film
This is probably controversial but.... This movie looks very, very beautiful. It is so aesthetically pleasing. Also the costumes look really nice!
The soundtrack is nothing groundbreaking. It sounds nice and goes well with the scenes.
The biggest problems I had with this movie is that they killed off so many characters way too early.
Also the book doesn't have a proper protagonist other than Johanna... so why did they have to replace her with two other protagonists? Max Tanner? Huh? Why couldn't they just have Johanna and Antti from the book? And why is there an irish M?
Also I wish that the start would be more similar to the book. It feels way too confusing so starting it off with a prison breakout would have worked way better.
The last problem I have is that the serbs are genuinely terrifying masterminds who are good old pals and the conflict they have with eachother in the book is really interesting. Why did they cut all of it out? It really makes them look like bland villains ):
I like this film and will definitely get a Blu-ray of it if they ever make one. I just really wish that they could have made the movie more loyal to the book because in my opinion the book is perfect for a movie on its own. Sad that we missed out on a lot of good scenes though. Was really looking forward to seeing them ): Considering the godawful production hell Omerta 6/12 went through and the quite small budget this movie is surprisingly enjoyable and I hope that we could see more Finnish action in the future!
