Death House (2017)
3/10
Total Disappointment
8 May 2019
Omfg. This is horrible. There's an interesting premise, with loads of potential. Science mixed with supernatural... and the cast is a powerhouse of horror icons...

But the acting is horrible, the gore laughable, the nudity gratuitous, the acting is phoned in primarily, and the cgi so low budget it makes the first resident evil look like a masterpiece. And it was made recently. I've seen better cgi from college students on their midterms.

Its sequenced like a video game. Not even a video game movie. A video game. But then it goes no where with it.

Resolution leaves room for sequel, but its all so rushed you dont want one.

Its not even worth the one viewing.

However... if someone with the right budget and a platform willing to give it a few seasons with intent of final resolution via a movie... the plot could be properly flushed out to really do the basic story concept justice.

Not netflix. They seem content with 3season runs. Something like HBO. And with a research team capable of making the science and history aspects enough screentime and accuracy to make it concievable IRL. Like... googling plot points should yield enough real life similarities to make you paranoid.

Afflicted (2013)
8/10
Worth the watch, but...
6 July 2014
I was given the impression from the trailer and IMDb page that something scary was to be expected.

This wasn't scary at all... not in the watching... in the thinking of it as real... wondering what you would have done, how you would have reacted? potentially creepifying.

I enjoyed the premise... and the way the story unraveled. I'm glad I watched this at home, with others, because its better when you can talk during, I think.

The filming style and story build was fun, even though you feel like you're in a video game for parts... and I appreciated that they had an actual ending, and that they didn't shy away or glorify the violence, or gore...
