Afflicted (2013)
An almost perfect example of how to present "found footage"
OK so i just finished watching the new found-footage horror flick "afflicted" (a movie that i have been wanting to watch since October 2013). so was it worth the wait?
my answer is a resounding HELL YEAH!!! from the plot to the story telling, the dialogue to the action sequences.... everything about this movie was top notch. and as far as found footage goes, i have to say its up there with "blair witch project" and "noroi" (my personal bests). and believe me when i say, its gonna be like no other found footage film you've seen before.
a definite must-see if u r a fan of the found footage genre, and even if u r not, u should go see it anyway simply for the fact that it is a great watch.
right now i'm trying my best to find something... anything... or at least even one thing wrong with the movie.... and i just cant. Well, maybe more killings? or female nudity? any movie automatically becomes better with female nudity, doesn't it?
therefore, the only deserving rating that i can give "afflicted" is a 9 out of 10
The Human Race (2013)
Dark, bloody, daring & wickedly cruel. AWESOME!!!
"Only one will win. The School, The House and The Prison are safe. Follow the arrows or you will die. Stay on the path or you will die. If you are lapped twice, you will die. Do not touch the grass or you will die. Race or die."
If that doesn't make u wanna watch whats coming next, then i don't know what will. I'm in the belief that the most important part of a movie would be in the first 10-15 minutes... cos that's when u know whether u wanna stay for the rest of it. "Human Race" grabbed my attention from minute 1 via the above quote.
And after watching the movie, i just have 2 words to say: FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! In my opinion, better than recent movies of a similar nature, i.e. hunger games, the condemned, and about just as awesome as the Japanese cult classic "Battle Royale".
I have to admit that as I was watching I couldn't help but wonder what the ending would be like, and I was afraid that it would fall flat and ruin a perfectly breathtaking movie. But it didn't... and suffice to say I was satisfied with the way it was done. Some people may disagree, but hey, everyone's entitled to an opinion.
So give "Human Race" a view. I highly recommend it.
