Dream Scenario (2023)
Nicholas Cage is good in it
That's it. I doubt it would have made it to theaters without him. So it was interesting to watch, but was not that good of a movie really. There was no ending, no explanation to what happened, and not that much action. In fact, the interaction with other characters was really bad. See it or don't. He is good, sort of a student film. Decent production shots. Otherwise kind of dumb. There could have been many dream sequences that could have been developed more instead of subliminal frame inserts and 2 second dream scenes. So it didn't make lots of sense. I would say it is about a college professor trying to keep his job and have a career as these bad things happen around him because of how he starts to get judged by people. It becomes just about how one deals with society and societies mental problems. Leading a pretty sad life, but he has some family that love him. I suppose it is a reflection of the writers real life struggles and disillusions about life in general.
Blood Vessel (2019)
Could make another film with first half hour
I liked the one vampire. It could have been scarier I was really starting to follow. Then the lady, and others, should have been like Alien them trying to kill it. That's really the scariest makeup I've seen in a while. Easily could have been the entire film. Should have been the X rated version for adults. I guess I'm for the old genre where horror was real and invaded our ever day lives. No kiddie time for a good film of the macabre any longer theres enough snowflakes in Christmas films that I do enjoy but Personally horror is it for me, (unless I'm stressed out and want to watch a comedy so I don't freak my friends out too much.
Fall (2022)
Im watching with no sound
They are at the top and Im wondering why didn't they bring parachutes? That tower is junk and they should have known it was a one way trip. My immediate thought for them to survive is to tightly swing around the tower "pole" then use the climbing locks on the rope right enough for the person above to safely maneuver down. Or, they could call someone to weld steps all the way up 2000 '. I suppose a serious rescue would be a helicopter that could drop a line and pick them up. Wow, it's still on and I need a barf bag. The tower is overwhelming. Everyone will not like this film I'm sure. I would be hugging that pole so it is a bit unrealistic that they are jumping around up on the top. The only reason I won't give it a higher rating is because it really is just disturbing.
Halloween Ends (2022)
Writing help needed
Can Universal say, "Whoops, we made a mistake." and beg Carpenter or Rob Zombie to remake this film? No Halloween music, no stalking, minimal babysitting. There's nothing left and they proved it. Id rather pay to see one of the fan films. In fact, because of so much previous scripts and material that could have been incorporated, there's just nothing. Michael seems elderly and can't get around so Im guessing when he grabs the babysitter he may have transferred his powers to him. They killed him close to ways Ive thought of. He did come back from beheading though. I don't recommend this film and Im surprised JL Curtis accepted this role when better scripts are out there. Id gladly accept 20 mil to remake this. No action until end of movie. About 1hr 45 min in. I didn't get what Laurie was doing these days but drinking which is ok.
The Bunker Game (2022)
Pretty good idea
It was slow starting but then the real plot started unfolding. I didn't care for the sex scene and mutes the sound. Some scenes could have been explored more and been more interesting. Ive never scene the film idea. It was original and it was a nice film to watch.
Color Out of Space (2019)
Almost finding a true meaning to me
I almost learned something important in life. I didn't though, in the end the title Color Out Of Space, being pink or any color, was the deepest meaning I got. That one single color in the universe destroys everything, and it's just a color. I suppose insects took better to it beside animals that would melt together like from The Thing and then get shot with shotguns also like in The Thing. There was no resolution. I guess finally the color couldn't survive and expired or something amd left a huge ashy mess. I gave it an eight though because the director did a good job and I like Nicholas Cage a lot and he sees that movies have not caught up-to the technology we are using to view films and that Shudder is a great platform to make awesome movies on.
Blacklight (2022)
Good action "popcorn" flick
Liam still is using the action recipe we've been seeing since the 80's and it still works. With respect to the actor and how his career has evolved I must give him the respect deserved. Other reviews are just snowflakes that are giving this film a 5 or below. I hear theres an Aladdin reboot.
The Mist (2007)
Need to see the alternate ending
I get it. Its a very sad ending. I was hoping he would have waited a moment more. I was really pulling for the characters. It needs the alternate ending though, because yes, I get it, this type of ending ; but it would have been better if that part didn't happen and it went right to the same ending.
Stridulum (1979)
Worst movie ever
I finally gave up and continued watching to see how horrible the next scene would be. It makes no sense. There's some famous names and I believe John Huston started using bad unprofessional acting techniques because the film goes no where and cuts to scenes that are all fill for no script. The girl Kati is probably the worst part. Just don't watch it. It's a 1978 film and the director must have been completely intoxicated.
The Seed (2021)
Good aliens
Take on real theories of alien life, ie:Stephen King's novel characters in the IT Universe. Very pretty girls fall in awful situation after a meteor shower. Climactic Battle towards the movie by survivor.l from the aliens grasp and plan for the planet earth. I watched on Shutter and is better than most Shutter content for newer generation of horror fans. Good special effect makeup. Seems to be made with a decent budget. Could be released in theaters. I don't know if the movie was straight to video or not.
A Field in England (2013)
I give it a 9
If your rating this movie a one. That's incorrect. This is a great and hilarious dramady/psychedelic/ art film. Wheaton is a genius He's same age as me so maybe that's why I get it. Anyways, it is about a field in England with a handful of soldiers, and a few other characters. They actually act like real people. Totally believable characters. The b and w makes it awesome also. Though Wheaton is cool enough to make it in Technicolor if he wanted.
The Bye Bye Man (2017)
I'm watching now...and
The reason I gave it below a 5 is because the main character knows what it is hut keeps falling into it's traps and believing these hallucinations. It's not a bad produced film, the story is messed up. Ok, now, they keep going on about the problem and I have no idea what the killer is. I'm at 1:35 minutes in. Ok the main character is obviously the un-castes role from Dumb and Dumber. Now the other characters are being told how stupid they are. OMG.
SSSniperWolf (2013)
Lia is hilarious she lives me so much
Lia is a trip. I'm retweeted one of her segments least night because she was on a roll. She completes me. I don't get You Tube as much as Lia. I think she has real talent. She needs a TV pilot. I have a script in my mind. Other "yt influencers" are just that Lia is way more funny and stunningly beautiful. Come to LA, we can hang at FOX.
No Time to Die (2021)
Good as Bond
I like that Bond movies have not changed. There's so much bad acting for profit CGI crank out films. It was wonderful and souring to even see a film that brought me out of the Covid age to a level I only knew before with other Bond films. They don't deviate from the recipe. I did feel this one may have been a darker drama but for a good reason I won't give away.
Insidious (2010)
Dare yourself to watch this
It is the scariest movie I've ever seen. It's a roller coaster of emotion and scares. Comfort to complete terror sucking you in until you'll realize Insidious has captured and taken control of you. I won't say Ibwont watch this one, I know I'll loose my mind. I watch it because it's so well done. Exhausting as it is, it just do a what it was made to do. I recommend having your girlfriend with you because honestly, you will want to hug each other in fear and tears through 90% of this film. Final warning, "Watch at your own risk."
Crawlspace (2016)
Within without an ending
David, the goul, kills dad, mom nowhere to be found, grabbing at the girl. That's it! If this was really about squatters that should have been introduced at the beginning of the film. Anyways, I can't believe this got released.
Hall Pass (2011)
The comedy is enough
This is a funny movie. Reminds me of the Hangover. The comedy is funny enough and fast paced that there are lots of jokes amd funny scenes. The blatant nudity ruined it for me. And made me really uncomfortable and turn away from the screen. As a film maker, this is not something I'd be going for. I won't watch it more than one time. Maybe the writer or director could explain what they were going for with the closeups of the men's parts.
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
Here's everyone's favorite movie
Academy Award winner, and a movie that has lasted for 59 years. And watching it today is as enjoyable as watching it 27 years ago for about the first time. Ive seen how Kubricks movies have been analyzed so critically and in Clockwork Orange I tried to get a glimpse of his genius but this film moves a long a lot faster than his others.
John Henry (2020)
Great Film "Independant"
I am not rating this like a Warner Bros., Universal, or as I would any big movie production companies film. I am rating it is an independent film. The writer and director, and producer did an amazing job. The filmmakers could have been out of film school recently, and knew how to make an indy film. The acting was amazing. There is a lot talking scenes, to feel the realness of the character. With that kind of writing the film could even be a stage play. I have seen other Indy films, even made from other countries and this is one of the better films. It's a tough call but I would have liked this more as a play. I would like to see more of this tems efforts.
A Nun's Curse (2019)
Good with some production problem
I a, just learning, but, this film looks like they shot it with the wrong lens. It seems to be filmed with a more portrait type lens, that makes it to upclose, instead of a movie style lens giving it a more atmospheric feeling.
Maybe it can be achieved with the type of camera used also. There's a few jump cuts in the editing.
Make these couple corrections, and I belive it comes together.
Clown (2014)
I'm enjoying this film
I'm watching it now.It's really good! Maybe it's me, but some scenes have way to loud atmospheric music, and I can't hear the dialog, in some important plot moments. Please go back and re-edit and turn down the background music.
