Oppenheimer (2023)
A masterpiece of boredom
So after hearing all the hype about this film I had to watch it. Its not usually my bag buy I do like films based on true events appolo 13, deep water horizon etc etc.
I'll start with the positive. It's a great film. Everything is perfect the acting, the story, the editing, the directing, the writing its all on point.
But my god its boring. It starts off quite fast and snappy but it's goes nowhere until you get to the bomb. The practical effect of the year, no cgi. All that jazz. And it's just boring. It's not the atomic bomb we wanted to see. Then there's like an inquiry for the last hour and once again its very boring. Sorry but it just wasn't very interesting.
Feed Me (2022)
Crazy fun
This film is another amazing British horror films. It blends black comedy with gory horror amazingly. The acting is on point, the story while having a few things I couldn't get my head around was brilliant. Editing and flow was great.
Its is absolutely bat. The UK could learn a thing or two about making a good comedy horror because we do it best when it's done right.
Severance, the cornetto trilogy, zombies vs gangsters & sightseers to name a few. This is up their on my list of great British horror comedy films. Hate that I have to use like 1000 words to Wright I review it sucks really badly.
Death Walks (2016)
Most of the stars are for the no budget
Right so after searching for absolutely anything to watch because I'm seriously running out of things to watch I saw this on prime. I googled it and saw that it had amazing reviews on hear and Wikipedia. And saw that it was made with no budget. So after seeing the film that was shot on a iPhone I thought I'd give it a try.
So what I found at first and mostly threw the film is it had security guard jobs down to a T. After working in a shopping center myself all the cast were spot on with the things that appen while working in that environment. The acting was good.
The music fit well. For the most part it had a score that really made you feel dred.
Camera and editing was OK. Basically what you'd expect for a independent no budget film.
The make-up was pretty crap and the extras were exactly what it says on the tin. Regular people with a bit of pen in them.
The story was poor tho. The build up was good nothing happens tho.
The zombies do not move at all and people walk past them bump into them and they do nothing. Then out of nowhere people get killed buy them..and how...exactly.
After the first 30min build up its garbage the bit where nothing is supposed to happen is the best bit then when things happen it gets boring.
Then it just ends somthing might have happened but I started writing this before it finished but as far as I can tell it just ended randomly.
Give it a watch but keep your finger on the fast forward button so you cam smash it out in 30min.
Scream VI (2023)
Was great but then they ruined it
So this instalment was great for like 1hr 45 mins. I had no complaints at all. I liked the characters, I liked the acting, I liked the story.
I wanted stu to come back from scream 1. That would have made more sense than the ending we got. Bit know they picked some names out of a hat and said your the killer/killers.
The setting was even good. Its been done before bit it worked. It was this crap ending that really wound me up. It was just why, why, why. Out of all the things you could have done. Why this.
I mean why I could have come up with a better ending and I would have done it for half what they got paid for this pile of expletive ending.
Infinity Pool (2023)
What a waste 🗑
If your going to do a artsy film do a short 45 mins film experiment with what you wanna try and put it on yourube. Dont expext people to sit threw 2 hours of garbage so you can try camara angles and filters and not give me a film.
Infinity pool is a complete mess and a waste of talent. David Cronenberg is a legend with the fly and videodrome etc but even he drops the ball example his new one. And even some of his liked films don't hit the mark for me. So when his son comes in and trys to live up to his father's standards your always going to mess up. Unless I'm missing something.
Infinity pool starts of ok. Good characters great acting creepy backdrop and local lore.
Then the clone thing happens and your like okayyy. Then nothing it turns proper artsy, things happen for no reason. The cast turn into people you don't like and then nothing.
I don't mind that there's no ending to this film but if you do that leave me gob smacked and wondering WTF, not glad the films over and wondering why I wasted 2hrs of my life.
David cronenburgs film crimes of somthing or other.
Murder Mystery 2 (2023)
Unnecessary
So the first murder mystery was pretty good. It came out in lockdown and was a nice little bit of fun in a hard time for many. It had twists and turns and was quite funny too.
Murder mystery 2 has none of this. You cam guess the villan instantly.
The jokes are non existent
There is no star power apart from the main 2 actors.
There was no effort put into it by anyone involved.
Why dont people just try and make a genuine comedy adam sandler should have done another stand up show because that was good.
Anyway bla bla bla words to fill up the space. Why can't I just write quick review bla bla.
Barbarian (2022)
This was a trip
So I'm going to start with the positives.
This films starts off great, the cast is great, the story is tight and shot really well. It has a relatable story of a woman who rents a house while on a job interview. And things don't go to plan. Enough said on that. Its did however feel familiar.
A couple of really good well done jump scares too
Then halfway through it take a massive twist I didn't see coming at all and then it sort of takes a bit and I did say a bit, tiny dip and goes in a completely different direction but it's fine its still good.
Then it switches it up again and tells the story from someone else's prospective.
I just got the feeling of the film don't breath. But still a great film.
Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities (2022)
Wow
Loved every episode of this this is tales from the crypt done right for modern times.
Altho there are some directors that I haven't seen any of there work and some that I didn't rate there movies every episode was done correctly and they could have added another half hour to them and been very good full film but I'm glad they didn't.
All the casts were brilliant and I especially like episode 1, 4 and 7. There was some good gore and great stories. I would recommend this to people who are and are not a fan of horror because it has things in it for both. Hope to see more but I suspect the pool of talent may run dry very quickly.
Jeepers Creepers: Reborn (2022)
Better than the 3rd
If I'm honest I'm not a fan of the film series but the wife loves them. So I've watched 1 and 2 loads. I just think their mediocre monster movies. On story good FXs but I just wouldn't watch them again if I had my choice.
Jeepers creepers reborn was ok tho. The acting was pretty good by the leads. The make-up FXs were not as good as the original but I like the direction they took with the creeper. We know what it looks like so buy showing it early they didn't ruin anything for me and we're able to take it in a small but different direction. Few big mistakes in the script plot wise but overall I liked it so much better than jeepers creepers 3 by 10,000%
Hellraiser (2022)
You wond be unsatisfied
This film was I can't believe I'm going to say this better than the original.
I can't believe there is a hellraiser I like again
After the second one they lost me but I still watched them because I wanted there to be another good one. This wasn't good it was amazing.
The practical special fx are out of this world. The make-up is brilliant.
We have new and original cenobites
If you were worried about pinhead don't be, it was amazing perfectly cast and played very well.
All the cast were fantastic I honestly can't say a bad thing about this film.
The story was tight and I was never bored.
Direction was expertly done.
Like I said they used practical special fx a lot but when they did use cgi it was for the right reasons and even things they could have used cgi on they did with light and shadows.
Sorry I could go on but I never expected to see another good hellraiser so I'm just so surprised.
10/10 5 star.
Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (2021)
Only ok if you want to get mad
So the first film was a good horror film based on a trend at the time. And was a ok popcorn film.
Bit this mess of a turd was stupid beyond belief. Everything was so convenient it was like every clue fell into there hands instantly, they made Einstein like guesses that conveniently were all correct and them made dumb decisions that got them killed. However I did enjoy laughing and winding my wife up with it because she seemed to enjoy it. Very outlandish, I won't watch it again but it is what it is I guess.
Acting was terrible by most of the cast, I wasn't particularly rooting for anyone to live. It was obvious what was gonna happen next. I won't recommend it it but if your bored and its free why not.
The Black Phone (2021)
Wow what a fantastic film
You know when you go to the cinema and watch a film and come out disappointed things king I could have just watched that film at home when I was board, this film is a film you could go see on date nights at the cinema and have a great time. Unfortunately I watched this at home and I'm gutted
The performances from everyone was great. The whole film was amazing. Its rare to find a good horror but this hit all the right notes. It never dragged, you got to know all the characters, the story flowed smoothly, never boring.
If you need to watch a horror this Halloween watch this it wont let you down.
Bliss (2021)
Don't know why critic's didn't like it
This was one off the best and saddest films I've seen for years. The story of drug addiction and some psychological disorder smash together. The critics want you to believe its trying to be complicated but its not. Drug addict is tragic in every way possible and this showcases it perfectly. And makes it all the more sad because we all know Owen Wilson and love him. So to see him like this tugs on your heart strings. The rest of the cast are perfect in their rolls, the fx are bang on and the story seemed to Wright itself. Perfect is all I can say about it. Great job. I've got to say more apparently or it won't let me post. Watch this film it's a prime original and editing is great.
Crimes of the Future (2022)
If I hadn't wanted to watch this so bad, I would have turned it off.
So I heard David cronenburg was making a new body horror film and got very excited. As the fly is my all time favourite film, and I loved videodrome and scanners, I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately I was so disappointed with this artsy fartsy dull film.
The cast were ok but the delivery of the lines were dull and bland with no punch to them. The story was boring, it made little sense to the audience. It might to the Creators as a concept but not to the average movie goers.
The body horror was weak. Because it was only uses to showcase body horror not to progress the story. Now body horror is my favourite genre but only done right like in the fly, bug, videodrome, street trash. When it's used differently every time in one film. This was all the same. Surgery isn't horror especially when it's not devastating to the character. When it's not scary to the person it's happening to why should it be scary to us.
And that the same for any horror if the characters aren't scared the audience won't be scared.
Some of the fx look like a startrek episode.
Hope David comes back with somthing better next time.
Ku bei (2021)
Old dog new trick
The sadness is the same story we've seen before. A virus or zombie outbreak end of.. Except like in train to busan its done just enough differently that its fresh and awesome. The gore is excellent and FX are amazing. Its fast paced and tight. And the ending while not mind bending wrapps it up nicely. Good jobs all round.
All My Friends Hate Me (2021)
A wild ride
All my friends hate me was one of the strangest films I've seen in ages. In the best of ways.
It's is perfectly cast and a well put together film.
When a film makes you think and feel like your in yhe main characters shoes it's done its job perfectly.
And also a film like this you can't put it into one genre, it's not scary so it's not horror, there's no action so it's not action, there's no thrills so not thriller, and it's not funny so it's not comedy. It's just strange but in the best way possible.
The Pentaverate (2022)
😆 🤣 😂
Amazing it's great to see Mike myers on top. Hope to see more and the rest of the cast are amazing. I love anything to do with conspiracies especially when it's taking the mick. Seams to be a theam.
Hush (2016)
Very short
Great scary short I would have stretched it out a bit and done about 10 others but it is definitely good
Great acting. And production value. I would do a series or somthing, think he should do a werewolf transformation but a funny one.
