Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)
It's much better than 3.8
I don't know where to begin. It's very rare for me to write a review but looking at the current rating, I just had to explain because the rating is not fair.
Exorcist II is an interesting movie. Yes, it's not as good as the original. It's not very scary either. It's also very different from the original but definitely it's not a bad movie as the ratings suggests.
It's a mystical movie that serves a sequel and prequel at the same time (midquel if you wish). It takes you on a journey to find the beginning of the story, it also gives you the outcome of the events (what has happened with this little girl and how is she able to continue after being possessed) and it seals the story. Though, the end was the weakest part of the movie. I watched 117min version where father Lamont walks away with Regan. There are at least three different versions of the movie. One of them culminates with the death of father Lamond.
Overall, this movie deserves 7 out of 10!
NB! Don't trust the rating, 3.8 is very unfair!
Hellraiser: Revelations (2011)
Underappreciated!
This movie is not THAT BAD! Attention: 2.8 is NOT FAIR score!
I agree, it might not be the best movie I have ever seen, but it is not the worst one either! Don't look the IMDB score, give it a try!
1) Yes, it has new Pinhead, but Mr. Collins did a great job. And yes, we all have Doug Bradley's face in our heads, but don't hate the change!
2) It has all the core and violence needed. Cutting faces, stretching skin, raping, killing, torturing in all imaginary ways and much more!
3) Special effects are good enough! If I think about the budget (around $350k), I actually loved the effects. There are many movies with cheap special effects and unrealistic CGI and they look much worse! This one actually stays quite realistic.
4) It has twists, mixed with scenes from the past and the present and it is rather hard to guess, what comes next. Love the way how the storyline was built up!
5) It's psychological! Fucked up minds taking over. It builds up characters, good is not always good, or if it was good, it might not stay that way!
6) It's not typical Hollywood! That's my favorite part actually.
Hellraiser is not dead!
Story: 6
Presentation: 6
Special effects: 6
But because it has Pinhead, I give it 8
Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead (2009)
Not so bad as I expected!
After reading previous negative reviews I still decided to give it a try. And I have to admit that I do not regret! Maybe it was not the most original piece but it was still entertaining enough from the beginning until the end. There was not too much talking (which is good for this type of movies), plot is simple but contains enough action. In my opinion it was not as good as the first movie, but it was much better than the second one. I do not like those "teenagers in trouble" type of horror movies (too many of those). Acting was not brilliant but it was decent enough for the prisoners. And I liked this money sharing part. Only those cops were not believable. In overall the movie was quite enjoyable!
