Nightbooks (2021)
Yes it's for children but...
I will state that it shouldn't be watched by small children, maybe tweenies would be a better fit. Personally I enjoyed the movie, it reminded me of spider wick and Ronald Dahl's witches all in one. So as far as I'm concerned it's a notch up from some of the brainless trash kids are subjected to watch nowadays. I found the child actors on par and the acting was not bad. Neither were the sets and it was visually appealing. Again I must state that it should be PG rated and is not suitable for small children as some of the scenes may be a little scary for youngsters. Really enjoyed this as an adult.
Typewriter (2019)
Gave it a solid seven
This was truly such a fun horror...I giggled from start to end ..I actually enjoyed this so much...not from a horror aspect because it really isnt...but what a fun witty way to do one! Well done. Loved it all the way
The I-Land (2019)
Hell no...
All I can say...if survivor made an actual series...this is so bad its ..I have no words. I gave it a three based on that if it actually had actors and direction it would be a story
True Detective (2014)
Brilliant to blah
What an awesome start...right up to the 5th episode and then it just became about dementia and demented...I get what the writers were trying to portray but you didnt pull it off..it felt like a bad hangover over a night of making sense to the world...sorry but it had more potential
Die Spreeus (2019)
Just a little synopsis as it is a South African series
This isn't a review but I noticed no plot summary so thought I would add a little background. That said this is a brilliant portrayal of what goes bump in the night in South Africa and masterfully pulled off by some of our most outstanding acting talent. Well worth watching if you love intrigue and unique viewing.
Die Spreeus features two fearless detectives - portrayed by Chris Vorster and Monique Rockman - as they investigate strange phenomenon every week.
What makes Die Spreeus unique is that it also tackles various stories from South African culture, including the tokoloshe and the Ghost from Uniondale. Wikus Du Toit explains:
"The first episode is based on a CJ Langenhoven story, 'The ruin at
Wilgerdal.' Later there is also an episode about Antjie Somers, about the 'Ghost of Uniondale,' there's one about the tokoloshe."
From a fearsome army of ghosts claiming their revenge, a supernatural meeting at a ruin and a woman who disappears and returns with a very scary difference to an autistic boy who can see into the future, an aggressive creature and a visitor from the past who can't seem to find rest.
