Mortel (2019)
*HIDDEN GEM!!!*
I thoroughly enjoyed this show and watched it with English subtitles as I'm from the UK and do not speak French, but oh boy, it was so so good. I seriously did not expect to get hooked on it. The acting is great and convincing, the story is edgy and different and the way it all comes together really combines elements from other amazing fantasy/sci-fi shows. It's dark and gripping and touches upon taboo topics such as mental illness and certainly to me had a lot of metaphors laced throughout.
Just watch it, you'll thank me later!
Poltergeist (2015)
Good entertainment with plenty of jump scares, however a too low budget and cut cornered remake!
Poltergeist... A classic of the horror genre and a film which any person in their right mind would stay clear of! But the original poltergeist film was released over 20 years ago so does that mean it is time for a remake?
Poltergeist 2015, the new remake had a lot of high expectations! Most fans were expecting some what of an identical remake to the original!
To start, me and my friends are all 15. We headed off today to go and watch it. After eating at Nandos we went in, the trailers passed, the tension rose! The film started to quite a fast start, throwing in a jump scare almost immediately! They did well to build tension and atmosphere and as the film progressed during the first 30 minutes I found myself jumping all over the place, edgy on my chair and my hand covering my face! It had a lot of elements of modern horror such as insidious and sinister!
The second half of the film was however not as intense and more mellow than the first! There was very few jump scares and the CGI was poor to say the least! In fact the film ended very abruptly and I was a bit weary when contemplating my conclusion thoughts!
Overall I think the film deserves a 6.5/10 and is potentially worth the watch if you are in need of some fast paced entertainment! However do NOT go in with high expectations as you will be shocked! I think the overall summery would say that the film was decent enough, there was a lot of flaws and corner cuts but due to a low budget compared to the required budget, they persevered with the budget set and made use of it! There was a lot of "buts" and "why's" but honestly that is what you expect from a film remake with a scale plan of such size compared to the budget and unnecessary CGI moments which left you wondering what was the point in that!
