Blue Jay (2016)
Better than rated
This is a well made movie and Survival movies give sense of adventure and experience of place. That alone in this movie makes it rate higher than average. Acting is good, directing, cutting, even a good song in it make it rank higher than 4 or 2.9. Give it a try and u won't be dis-appointed in the scenery. Set in the wilds of Mt. Whitney early in the season before it's crowded with people and sets the scene of a horrific time running into psychopathic nomads. Plus the lead actresss is a beauty. Her blonde hair shining like rays of sunlight, piercing cool blue eyes, a thick bottom and put together like a woman. Really tho, the rest of the movie is great and I wish there were more movies like this. Out in the wild in real places that most of us hav'nt seen, but dream of seeing someday.
I really liked the song in the middle of the movie. It's haunting and kind of psychedelic and also fits the movie and adds to the overall feel. These types of horrors r the real horrors that anyone can go through and it always makes it more shocking and scary to see stuff like this and be reminded that thus could possibly happen and what would you do in thus situation.
Borgman (2013)
Another low rated movie that knocks the socks off
Movies I see rated so poorly that I watch only to find out they are masterpiece films, or at least alot smarter then what most people take them for and deserving a much higher rating. Borgman is such, alot of the movie cannot be taken at face value. Like for instance the beginning and the characters living underground. Well they are living underground, but not for the simple fact of doing so. If you look at it as an analogy of them sleeping peacefully underground, being rousted by a group of men including a priest no less only to be awakened from thier underground slumber to proceeding in killing every other person they come across throughout the movie. In killing everyone, but not in a horrific way, but almost as if it happened naturally to keeping with where the main characters were headed. That and the quote at the very beginning "And they descended upon the earth to strengthen their ranks." puts you in a mindset of demon, good and bad, ect. as the quote comes from the bible.
Many more analogies through the movie probablly left alot feeling lost and wondering what they just watched, but if you are into smart thoughtful movies, movies where one thing can mean something else, then this is a great movie. Maybe not a masterpiece, but once again ranked so low, that I feel I have to give this movie credit and if someone gives it a chance and think about things in the movie I'm sure it would be rated higher and deserves to be. I gave it a 9 as at times things could've been explained a little (like the marks on the back). Even so I'll draw my own conclusion to why they did that and I think the maker wanted everyone to do just that. Give Borgman a try, it's def better than 6.8.
Communion (1976)
Eerily familiar
This right here is a great movie and I have no idea how it's ranked only 6.5. Sure it's not a polished, shiny big budget movie, but its still great. Solid acting, story, directing, it has it all. Over the years I often confused this movie with "Don't Look Now" as over time I seen bits and pieces of both films, but once I watched both films recently the similarities are certainly there, but both branching off in different directions of mystery and horror. The one thing they do have in common is the, who is really in that disguise??? That's where simularities end, as each takes you off multiple scenarios and leads you down paths at pointing the finger at the wrong person.
Back to Alice Sweet Alice, it's revealed a little sooner who the actual killer is, but still throws you for some loops up until the end of the movie, with the most shocking moment happening right at the end. This movie takes you from, letting you think you know what's going on, to eventually thinking almost any character could be the killer. Then there's the why behind all of what's going on. In all making for a deep seeded mystery, horror blended so well I was amazed I never heard more about needing to see this. Rated a only 6.5, and usually not many movies rated 6.5 don't leave you saying wow, but Alice Sweet Alice will. So many scenarios left open the original creative people behind this movie are hoping to do a remake and add alot more to it. Over the years, since 1976, there has been talk of this and recently talks have heated up again. After seeing it, I'd be so exited to see more...only question is who would they get to play Alice??? I think the original actress did so well with it, it would be hard imagining someone else as the character.
Charlotte Wakes (2017)
Different
The movie just for looking at the actress, (she's completely beautiful) would be a 10. It's about demons or how much would a person be into a sexual relationship with that demon. After being forced the initial contact, she then goes after the demon to get some action...or was it she was dreaming it??? idk I got lost looking at the actress Aisling Knight. Also thru out the movie there's an underlying issue of this chicks boyfriend pressuring her into sex. So maybe the demon sex was just her sexual frustrations which then makes it an even more interesting movie. I guess it's all how u look at it. One way, ridiculous, the other way and there's something there that many movies have not touched on. By the end the movie does lean toward the sexually frustrated part, bcuz we all know there r really no demons lol.
The Building (2009)
A really high 3 stars
It's not a terrible movie and has kind of a good plot line with twist and turns all though some of them are ridiculous. That's mainly why I gave it a 3 rating. Parts like while at a in home funeral a few characters refer to the event as a party lol. When a bird hits the apartment window and a hawk swoops in to get an easy meal the preggo lead gets excited and calls the bird a piece of s*** lol. So, overall it was a good story, but poorly acted and too many blaring mistakes will have you rolling eyes. The best part...Keegan Conner Tracey is in it.
Profondo rosso (1975)
Give it a shot
If you have never seen a Dario Argento movie you should probably start with maybe Suspiria or Inferno to kind of build an appreciation for what he does in his movies. Overall this is a good movie, sometimes dragging, but enough to keep you interested in what's gong on and where everything is leading. After seeing most of Argentos movies I was second guessing watching this one as a few other movies of his I didn't like, but i'm glad I did watch this. This is right up there with his master works and anybody doubting it should just give this movie some time.
