Baby Reindeer (2024)
Because life is not always logic, true?
I found this a very powerful story. I was intrigued by the authenticity of the main actor telling his own story. With all the shame, the self-hate, drug abuse, the self blame. I really felt for him, especially when he broke down on stage and told his story. Truth is that people make bad decisions. When you are young and naieve, people might take advantage and leave you damaged thinking it was all your fault. I understand why he "needed" Martha, to feel good about himself. He was obsessed with her as well in a way. I believe that Martha stalked him, being a lost soul herself. She may not have been convicted, but pretty sure she was not innocent either.
Imaginary (2024)
Not a horror movie
I am a horrorfan. Horror should be about feeling scared. And there should be blood, and death and a body count. I liked M3gan, wish it wasn't PG-13, would have loved this bot to completely destroy enemies in full view kill-mode. Same goes for 5 nights at Freddy's, premise was cool, as the videogame, but no blood, gore, or heavy body count... Fxxx PG-13. Horror should be 18+, like Evil dead 4, now that is Horror! Imaginary was worse. The bear? Not that scary. Body count? 1... wow, blood under a door... First half spider, second half bear? Why? Just disappointed allround.
Acting was ok. Weird that main char would move back to that house with stepdaughters and white hubby leasing on tour instantly...
Saw X (2023)
Back to basis!
I am a fan of the Saw franchise and have seen them all. After the death of John Kramer it was all about the kills and the story was totally lost. I'm so happy about this one because of John Kramer and the story it has to tell. It is nice to get a little depth in how he gets his ideas. After the first half you really want the baddies to get hurt. He is true to the first ones as in every "player" has a fighting chance. The gore is up to par, but especially loved more story. Saw some of the plot twists coming, but that didn't ruin my experience. Better than the previous sequels, give it a watch and enjoy! Hope they make more inbetweners like this one 😉
American Horror Stories: Game Over (2021)
Brick burns
If you light a fire on a brick house from the outside, what happens? The same thing that happened when the Big Bad Wolf tried to Huff and Puff and Blow it down.... Exactly... Nothing.. Stupid. Plain Stupid...
I onde dager (2021)
Wow, what a trip
Didn't expect too much, actually put it off for me being too lazy to read subs. Wow what a surprise, this movie made me laugh, had me on the edge of my couch... The violence is in your face, and yet, you can't help but laugh about how the story develops and I mean that in a good way. A horror comedy for real and a great one at that. If you love horror, plot twists and comedy, a must watch!!
Bloody Hell (2020)
Bloody Brilliant
Ben O'Toole rocks, he knocks the bad guys out of their socks. Although mentally a bit unstable, he brings some kick-ass training to the table. Subtle is definitely not his style, and it's really worth your while.
Horror and comedy in a good mix, just the damsel in distress needs a fix. I laughed and loved the gore, it left me wanting more!
The Utah Cabin Murders (2019)
Fail on massive scale
Based on a True story is what drew my attention. Low budget does not concern me, I have to mention. A terrible script, horrible acting and a lack of suspense does irritate me though, so if you are thinking of watching this movie, don't do it! No, no, no!
Breeder (2020)
Breeder
Maybe it was lost in translation, or it was just a lack of imagination. Was there a plot? I think NOT. Let's build a movie around some nice torture scenes, let's leave out all logic, by all means. See it if you are into that, and lots of bad acting... really bad.
The Special (2020)
You opened the box and you came
The acting was not great, and I was never afraid. A tale of pleasure and addiction, with some twisted fiction. The story could have been told in an hour, but the ending gave the movie some extra power.
