[Rec] (2007)
Tasty
Ok, title sounds weird but I found the movie to be rather good.
The first minutes almost made me drop the movie but I used my patience to swallow that. Actually, I believe that sequence with the firefighters and TV crew was done to create a relationship between watcher-characters. I really liked Angela although damn in some sequences she annoyed me a lot. PABLO WHAT'S HAPPENING.
Funny tho. Some of the reactions were exaggerated but some were done in a nice manner and looked as real as possible.
I liked the atmosphere, the way the story advanced with a balanced delivering of information. I liked the characters, and felt sad when Manu died.
Aandd with the things that let me unsatisfied:
I) When Angela and Pablo get out of Guilemm apartament, Manu is nowhere to be seen. When looking down, he became a zombie like the others. I wanted to see a fight ! Manu appeared strong and the hero guy througout the movie and suddenly, his character died into the zombie state. I wanted more of him!!!!!!! I wanted to see the hero die!!
II) The final boss sequence was too short. We were driven a bit fast into the story of the posessed-experiment girl. I wanted to see the Blair witch-alike antagonist more! Her figure was surely terrible, her sounds gave me chicken skin, and the way she ate Pablo was truly terrific. But .. There was more potential.
In the end, I give this movie a 9. A remarkable movie in the growing lost footage genre.
***the trivia section made me appreciate the movie more. Sure was scary for us, can't imagine for the actors haha.
V/H/S (2012)
I like it
I like you. (insert succubus noises)
It was nice. It had a balance of gore, paranormal, and nudity, because for a reason, nudity is really needed in the V/H/S series!
Shaking of camera is balanced.
I recommend this movie to everyone who can swallow a bit of gore.
Now on the things I found meh.
I wanted to know what happened to the others hooligans that watched the tapes. And also, who was the old man and how did the tapes were at him.
I wished the movie focused a tiny bit more on the house and old man. But otherwise, the tapes were pretty good and built suspension and drama.
There were two tapes and left me a bit shocked and confused. The alien-girl-fetus-doctor thing and the lesbian girls.
A bit of backstory, maybe subtle hints would have been nice, but overall, the gore aspects and the movie unique approach is enough for me.
V/H/S/2 (2013)
Okish
I believe V/H/S built high expectations for the next movies. Seems like V/H/S/2 let some of us down...
If you are a gore fan, this movie is good for you.
If you are an alien, zombie fan, this movie is good for you.
What I found rather terrible is the agressive shaking of the camera, which really makes the phrase "More is not better" true. It gave me a headache trying to figure out some scenes.
Certainly V/H/S/2 is more gore-y visually than V/H/S and uses a variety of themes. But this movie was very generic with it's themes. My favorite one had to be the one with the cult, it seemed much more uncommon.
Now, I am not saying that this is a time-wasting movie..Not an remarkable one though, either. I expect more from the next movies.
