The Ruins (2008)

Garbage

[1/10 · 1 September 2023]

Do you remember that scene in the original Evil Dead when the woods come alive and r**e one of the women?

The Ruins is kinda like that scene for 90+ minutes except noone gets any explanation about how the killerbushes got there and so on and so forth.

It is a despicable movie on every level.

Bad acting, awful storyline and each and every encounter between people is unbelievably stupid.

The same goes for making decisions in this flick, none of them make any sense.

Trusting someone within a minute and decide to take a trip to a mayan temple with them? Wearing slippers/flipflops on that same trip? Hardly bringing food and water? And I could go on and on.

Skip this one, it sucks.

Rust Creek (2018)

🚫

They have found two new words for dumb:

Rust Creek

The director of this movie must think that we are all stupid or something.

...or too naive.

SKIP this one if you are considering watching this pile of crap.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)

The devil did not show up

[7/10 · 30 June 2021]

I absolutely love the first Conjuring, the follow-up was solid and this third one is pretty decent...but...it is never scary, I felt/experienced no eerie atmosphere and this film just shows too much!

These "flaws" do not turn this into a bad flick though: the scenery is beautiful, I also dig the camerawork, the storyline is interesting and the acting is very good!

Army of the Dead (2021)

Zero intellect

[1/10 · 22 May 2021]

Army of the dumb.

I have seen alot of zombieflicks but this one is probably the worst I have ever been a witness to.

HORRIBLE! Keep away!

House at the End of the Street (2012)

Not bad but not good either...

[6/10 · 17 November 2012]

I went to see HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET last night and didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would. The story is dull and predictable and the acting isn't rocksolid!Jennifer Lawrence played her role well though, she "blows" everyone away in this movie BUT, on the other hand, and I don't want to sound too negative, this flick wasn't a very hard nut for her to crack!

The story ;

Elissa (Lawrence) moves into a new home together with her mom Sarah(Elisabeth Shue) and finds out that the son of a murdered couple, who lived next door, still lives in the house where his parents were killed. The surrounding neigbours complain about him and tell Elissa that the boy is bad news! She wants to find out herself though and steps into his life...

It's a not a very bad movie but skip the theatre and wait for it on bluray/DVD.

Kill Switch (2008 Video)

Killshit

[1/10 · 17 August 2010]

I've watched this movie last night and I didn't like it at all!

1)The acting by all the "actors" in this movie was BAD! 2)Steven Seagal and the rest of the cast seemed uninspired! 3)Steven Seagal spoke with a ridiculous accent! 4)Steven Seagals' voice was dubbed numerous times! 5)The fight scenes were chaotic! 6)A stunt double was used in most of the fight scenes! 7)The two "bad" guys were just as intimidating as my goldfish! 8)Steven Seagals' movies shouldn't contains love-scenes with him in it, it looks stupid and not credible. 9) The fight scenes contained repeated shots of the same punches/kicks and facial expressions of Seagal! 10)The ending of the movie made no sense at all! Did he cheat on his wife? Did he pretend to be his murdered twin brother?

...and I could go on and on...but I won't! KILLSWITCH is a waste of time and money...
