Fall (2022)
I've never been so uncomfortable watching a film
The story is simple, the ending I guess is also predictable, but the journey is something else. As someone who hates heights/edges this film really got me. Very well executed, great tension and if it doesn't literally keep you as deep into your seat, rather than the edge of it, nothing will.
Direction was spot on, the angles, lighting and score all contributed to a great movie. There are moments you think come on! But that's all ironed out by the overall feeling and plot of the film. I'm scoring it 10 simply because I've never felt to uncomfortable watching a film! Great job.
If anyone is still reading then this bit of the review is here because I have to leave a minimum of 600 characters.
Prey (2022)
Why change a winning recipe?!
I was so looking forward to this movie. I spent the previous day of release refreshing my memory of every Predator movie released to date. I discovered a hint of what this might contain at the end of Predator 2, which I'd forgotten. This heightened my anticipation! The concept is great, the execution is great..... But the Predator wasn't the Predator. Evolution doesn't work in reverse or that quickly. Blood a different green, face a different shape?! No. This isn't Predator. It's his inbred cousin.
