Circus Kane (2017)
It had potential, but I have a few issues with the storyline
What I liked: There were some interesting choices story-wise, that made the movie interesting. For Example, I think the idea to have social media as a big part of the film, and include phones with signal was very different for horror. Over all, I loved the story idea. I also liked the clown characters, because who doesn't like creepy killer clowns?
What I didn't like: 90% of the characters. So many of them were annoying and the acting was way too over the top. Even the main villain over acted in my opinion. I didn't mind a few of the characters, but most of them bugged me. Also, the plot was a bit confusing. Like why didn't they show more flashbacks? I don't get why Valentine is angry at Kane? Or what is wrong with the rocker chick's brother? How were half of the people related to horror specifically? Because the only ones I can easily trace back to horror is that one girl starred in a horror movie and one guy plays horror video games. Maybe more was said and I missed it (because the sound quality sucked) but I don't remember them giving great backstory explanations while in the bus. Why does "Miss Valentine" appear to be Kane's son in the beginning flashbacks when it's later revealed that her dad was Valentine? And why is she then working with Kane? I really wanted to understand the twist ending, because I LOVE twist endings. But I had no clue what was going on.
If someone can write a review and answer any of my questions, I would appreciate it, because I hate finishing a movie and feeling so confused. If the characters could have been slightly less annoying, and the storyline had been filled in properly, I think I could have really liked this film, which is why its getting a 5 instead of a 1 or 2. Unfortunately, they just did not execute the film correctly.
Bad Blood: The Movie (2016)
10/10 special effects, but 1/10 plot and acting
I decided to watch this because it had 4 out of 5 stars on Amazon Prime (how????). That was a huge mistake, because, 1. The plot is strange. It jumps from past to present, which would be fine, if they did it cohesively. I was generally confused because they were jumping around a lot and I did not understand what was actually going on. I looked away for a few seconds here and there, but that shouldn't be enough to throw me off of the entire movie plot line. 2. It had a lot of weird character side plots that I found to be unnecessary. 3. Most of the acting is terrible.
There is ONE saving grace, and that is the special effects. The "creature" in the film actually looks pretty great, and the gore is realistic. I would definitely recommend watching the parts with the creature, because I love the effects. But as for the rest of the movie, do yourself a favor and fast-forward through it because this movie has nothing else to offer.
