Hold the Dark (2018)
Averaging between 5 and 6? WTF
More Creepy/Moody/Suspenseful than 75% of the films that have directors seeking these senses. Plus some of the most brutal and realistic violence ever depicted on the screen. If you're reading this, it's not your fault that other reviewers simply don't get it. A smug thing to say, but it's why I'm in here. To provide a counter to the "boredom" that they're thinly using as a blanket pan. It's by no means perfect, but has sequences that will burn a permanent scar into your brain. Scenes that you'll never forget.
I'm tired of modern audiences having zero patience will films. They're a prime mover in the industry's awful change in direction, towards 100% remakes, sequels, prequels, and "next generation" rehashes that will probably give us more garbage like never before.
Saturn 3 (1980)
Outstanding remake material....
While ambitious and off the mark at the same time, this take would make for a truly amazing modern remake. Small cast, killer robot, stark and claustrophobic setting...
Expecting nothing. Watched it in its entirety.
In Bright Axiom (2019)
Sooooooo.....
While it's ambitious, interesting, and a manifestation of a true talent's development, I'm left sure of only one thing: The people behind this are most likely quite insufferable...
Overnight (2003)
Nothing quite like it...
.... from the standpoint of both subject matter (Duffy) and process.
While there's clearly and angle to this doc, delusion has rarely been this well documented. Who knows, maybe the documentarians actually held back?
The Icarus Line Must Die (2017)
Well filmed. Well constructed....
Music is cool, but every single conversation is completely agonizing.
Agonizing.
Bird Box (2018)
It's ok
Quality and frequent tension.
But it's a wonder that anyone survives. Suspending disbelief, as required per this plot, is impossible.
