The Ghosts of Borley Rectory (2021)
It's good for a period piece
It's not a horror picture, it's a traditional turn-of-the century ghost story. Unfortunately this genre doesn't seem to exist in modern film so the next choice is horror, which is a mis-categorization and is why all the poor reviews. Don't get me wrong, while it's not the best film ever, it's pretty good for the genre.
The story fits in with the M. R. James school of ghost story or stories in the "Classic Ghost Stories" podcast. The dialogue, which seems to be a bit of a bugaboo for some, is very much in the literary tradition of the time it portrays. Give it a chance with out the expectations from modern horror. This isn't modern horror.
The Real Wolfman (2009)
Many mistakes in research
Show makes many incorrect assumptions based on ignorance of history, especially of firearms in the 18th century. Some of these assumptions are not important, but questioning assumptions lead to questioning results.
At the end of the show, the ballistics tests on silver bullets are seriously flawed. They use rifles in the test deciding that silver bullets are less accurate than lead. Rifling is rare in the eighteenth century which leads to results which are inaccurate. They also use modern gunpowder, much more powerful than old black powder also leading to inaccurate results. Can you trust the findings of such sloppy experiments?
Eye of the Beholder (1999)
Glad I didn't read the reviews first.
It always amazes me how two people can see the same movie and come away with totally opposing opinions of it.
I ran across Eye of the Beholder (1999) this evening on TNT totally by accident - and couldn't stop watching it. A combination of atmosphere and acting got my attention immediately. The plot is definitely unusual - a bit convoluted - but held my attention like no movie since Memento (2000) has.
This movie is obviously not for everyone - just look at the other reviews both by IMDb users and other external reviews. But by no means is it as bad as some will have you believe. Watch it with an open mind - it may surprise you.
