Project Skyquake (2022)
Common Sense not applied here.
Common sense is something that the writer and director just seem to forget about.
Our main hero gets a job and decides to go on a big adventure. If I got a job, I wouldn't be travelling around, but hey, to each of their own.
After hearing a voice from the radio, they decide to drive off, but their car just dies. So our smart heroines decide to go to a nearby house and get help. They knocked quietly on the front door and barely waited two seconds before entering the house because people normally answer the door instantly.
After they leave the empty house, they decide to head back to their car, but they get a phone call from an unknown caller, and it takes them forever to answer the phone because they don't know who it is.
When they get trapped in the woods, they decide to return to the house and get drunk. Who cares about having a clear head in a dangerous situation?
They wake up inside the house in the middle of the night after they hear a noise. They use their flash lights and stomp around the house looking for the source, but they find a couple of guys in cheap costumes and masks standing outside with candles.
The next morning, they decide to investigate where the cultists were hanging out while talking loudly, not caring if they might be near by.
They try and get the cars at the house to start, but stop to answer a phone call from Scott. He tells this in-depth story about his family and a town and how the government covered it up. They just sit there, listening and treating it like an interview, while still trapped in the woods. Did they say, 'HELP, WE ARE TRAPPED?'.. no.
Then the end scene just leaves you scratching your head with the twist in the story.
Also, the interview had a pure black screen of Scott talking. Who does that? Add screen shots, pictures of ducks, or anything else that doesn't show black. The male cultists and strangers just fell over the entire time in the movie; they weren't threatening; they just kept falling over.
The Scopia Effect (2014)
it is terrible
I am not teenager and I like horror movies with character building and slow pace with a great plot. This movie is a blatant rip off movies like the fountain and the cloud atlas.
Please ignore Brian review where he brags how fantastic his review is while wearing tight jeans, smoke with a pipe and grow a neck beard.
This movie falls short with poor camera angles, story jump and weak acting. You spend the entire time going OK we get it, she's going insane.
There are far more interesting and original horror movies out there and this is not one of them.
Grave Encounters 2 (2012)
Cliché coming out the rear end
Cliché counter:
1. Women wearing tank tops where you scene of seeing down their top. 2. College kids who smoke weed, party, drink booze and talk about sex about how fantastic they are. 3. No one seems to go to class and also they are able to skip class for days and not stress about it. 4. Main character has unlimited money for transportation. 5. Over use of demon face effect (google it) 6. They witness the impossible and yet they will not take other peoples explanations or methods. 7. Predictable deaths (One scene, a kid advertises how he is going to die). 8. Pointless running off to get killed. 9. Cell phones don't work. 10. They have a Canadian accent, yet they live in the US. 11. Pointless expose scenes. 12. Filming for no reason. 13. Ghosts can do every thing, I mean EVERY thing! 14. When they are scared one guy will freak out and every one else is yelling. 15. Stupid shock scene using baby. 16. Characters will suddenly fill in the plot by claiming they read this some where, Yet they had never mention it prior to the event. 17. All characters are jerks. 18. Talking to the camera and leaving a verbal will. 19. Trying to hide from entities that are attacking them and yet some how are surprised that they got found 20. Between footage you get a split second shot of them in the mental institute. 21. They never contact the police, EVER. 22. Get lost easily, I am surprised how they make it out of their dorm alive (yes i know the reason how they get lost).
Alien Abduction (2005)
Terrible
What can I say about this movie? The director sure has a thing for women with long legs and tiny breasts.
There are so many plot holes, terrible acting, women who don't wear bras or undershirts, monsters sound like birds and many pointless scenes.
Aliens don't make sense nor scary. A Muppet is more horrifying than the ones that were made. I don't even know they won special effects for this movie.
I understand that it is a low budget but the amount of money was wasted on something else than the movie.
Of Silence (2014)
This movie contains fillers, plot holes and above all moping
This does contain spoilers.
When some one directs, acts, produces and writes their own movie, it ends up sacrificing the quality of the movie.
The pace is slow, dull and the plot goes missing with endless fillers. Fillers such as a debt collector bugging him. His family come over and tell Coby about his brother has a tumor (which went no where)at and a lengthy discussion about the gate for the car to enter being broken.
He is meant to have hearing problems, yet he is able to hear every thing.
If i was the script writer, i could of made the movie more interesting with the same budget and cast.
This is how I would of done it.
Cody comes home from the funeral, he stops at the entrance of the drive way and slowly pulls in. It is silent, you can not hear any noise except his low breathing (which is distorted) as he pulls in a car beeps his horn to tell Cody that he almost hit the other driver.
Cody gives up and parks the car on the road. He stares a head and a tear rolls down his eye. He gets out of the car and enters. You see a shot of Cody ears, he is wearing hearing aids and the noises of the birds are coming out tinny.
The next day, his family comes over. They are concerned about Cody behavior and brought food over. The mother finds the over due bill Each family member tried to talk to Cody, The father tries to offer to go fishing to help him take his mind off. His brother offers to get him a job where he works. Cody pushes away from each family member except his sister who told him she going to hang out with him during nights.
Cody goes into the kitchen and starts talking to his mother about wanting to be a lone when he hears faint inaudible voices where it grows louder until he hears a womans scream for help. He blacks out.
He wakes up on the couch and his mother and sister are fussing over him. Trying to get him to drink water and his pills. After insisting he will be OK, they all leave.
Cody's house began to act weird. Lights are not turning on one moment and when he comes back into the room with new, the lights are on. He is in the shower and he is thinking about his late wife when he hears a noise. He looks around and he looks at the drain, cody peers into the drain where for a second he sees an eye.
Cody freaks out and runs out the room with a towel. He runs into his sister. She waves a movie at his face with a movie. She peers into the shower and asked him why is it still on. He mutters about where he found his late wife and starts crying.
Cody sister notices that he not watching but staring at a dark corner. She turns the movie off and makes him talk. he talked about how he met his late wife during one of his refunded research projects and she was the one who rescued him when he delve too deep.
He explains how quiet every thing was when his ears burst but before he blacked out he heard a noise. In the course of the night he sees his wife walking down the hall way, his sister keeps hearing noises in the walls to the point where one merged out of it.
Cody soon hears his late wife calling him to run but it is too late.
