Boogeyman (2005)
Lot of jumps, not so much any deep meaning
I really enjoyed this movie because it actually made me jump a number of times. The plot lacked any real development, as far as never exploring the boogeyman 'myth' outside of the main character's perspective, but I was kept in suspense and on the edge of my seat. The ending was weak and void of explanation, but there was good build-up to make it worth it; definitely worth the boo factor. Boogeyman for me was a good thrill, but don't go looking for any meaning behind what's happening. People keep comparing it to The Grudge: I wasn't scared at all by The Grudge or The Ring, but this movie made me jump, even if the plot was worse.
Fascination (2004)
Awful!
So bad it's hard to describe! I recently saw this movie at a preview screening and was appalled. How did it ever get made? The music is a joke, the actors are horrible, and they throw in random sex scenes that make NO sense and had the ENTIRE audience laughing uncontrollably when it was supposed to be a tender/passionate moment. The plot, with its twists and reveals, almost had potential, but was completely ruined by everything else. We should have walked out and spared ourselves the pain of sitting through the whole thing, although the hilarity of the ending, because it was so unbelievably ridiculous, was almost fun. Let's see if I can paraphrase: Girl: I love you, but you'll never trust me, so I'm going to jump out of this speeding car. Boy: No! Don't! (reaches for her) (violent car crash) Both: Hey, we barely survived and are all bloody, so let's have random sex on the beach! Aaargh!
