Reviews
Évolution (2015)
this is literally disgusting abuse of children.
review contains spoilers. but trust me, if you're a decent human being you're gonna want to read it anyway. because once you do, i doubt you'll want to watch the film unless you're into openly PERVERTED, disgusting content involving children.
Um.... This is literally a movie about women sexual abusing little children by making them , through human experimentation, carry babies? Why the f**k is this acceptable? Or given good ratings? The boys also witness an orgy between the adult women.
I mean, think of it in reverse, if this was a film about adult men were subject little girls to scientific experiments, forcing the little girls to carry and have babies, and letting little girls watch a public male orgy. There would be a public outrage over this.
It's not Artistic or Intriguing or Mysterious. It's literally a movie about the sexual abuse of little boys. f**k this movie.
The Belko Experiment (2016)
Danganronpa except bad
Literally just a live action Danganronpa but with less interesting characters and zero pay off....... Honestly if you want to see this except good play the danganronpa series? I just honestly don't know how to feel about how similar they are....? I just... Jesus.
Danganronpa is a video game series in which 16 high school students are trapped inside the school and are forced to murder one another under the threat that more will die if they should not. The last person standing is allowed to go free.
This movie is just... exactly Danganronpa??????? except with really.... really unlikable characters in an office building.
Spoiler below
The ending makes a poor attempt at payoff by hinting at a possible sequel but likely it's just a "deep" ending that will produce no further movies. The final man standing emerges from the building, only for the scene to pan out to be another screen in the middle of many more screens depicting more people emerging from their own experiment buildings.
Home Movie (2008)
Heavenly Creatures and Goodnight Mommy except bad
If you want to watch actually good movies with similar story, look up: "Heavenly Creatures" and "Goodnight Mommy"
tldr: movie feels like it's building up to a great end then falls completely flat with dumb decisions throughout the movie, animal death jump scares, and a frickin ice cream truck song in the background like are you serious? I'd really suggest skipping this one and go with Heavenly Creatures or Goodnight Mommy
--
Honestly this one fell really flat? Kids have always been a creepy factor for a horror film, but this movie really just doesn't hit home to me. Now that's not to say the kids aren't disturbing in any way, they murder their pets left and right, of course. But the murdered pets appear to be shock value and literally nothing else, like something's happening then OH SUDDENLY dead animal. Some kind of poorly achieved jump scare tactic, just didn't work well. The kids were completely emotionless and the plot seemed like it was going into possession/ghost zone but then just abandoned that plot line and stuck with "they nuts", which was somehow more boring than if it had been a run of the mill possession movie.
Martyrs (2008)
Well this sure was a movie
okay firstly I would like to say that visually, Martyrs is amazing, I love the design of it, it looks very nice. I love the sub-level set ups and the overall design. If i were going off that I'd be giving it a 6/10 rating because honestly it was a very VISUALLY interesting movie to watch. But I'm not going off that. I'm going off the film in general...
But on the real nature and story of the film it really wasn't that interesting... and you know, maybe i'm just a closed minded piece of crap with no taste for True Cinematic Masterpieces.. but Martyrs was not the.. religious experience.. that people make it out to be... the movie really only depicted 90 minutes of glorified abuse and torture and ended with
SPOILER
the flaying of a young woman who then reveals what exists after death to a woman who then kills herself for having heard what lies beyond...
END SPOILER
so really.. it just didn't do that much other than just be a torture porn movie... Also I "love" the addition of women playing a role in the abuse so it makes it "not as bad" that apparently women are the only people who can be abused and tortured into enlightenment.. Like, please... I know that was a cheap way to try and "lessen" the sexism in this film, and it didn't work.
The Shallows (2016)
"This movie is for the for sharks!" the story of a seagull
First of all, this movie was an hour and twenty minutes of a woman screaming on a rock next to a seagull. Second of all, the seagull was the best character and he was the real hero of this movie.
If you're down to watch 10/10 seagull acting, dramatic zooms on a seagull while squawking, a legitimate argument between a grown-ass woman and a seagull, and the grown woman attempting to eat a raw crab and then vomiting and the seagull walking away like "bitch i'm done with you" then this is the movie for you. (i've given you the highlights)
This movie is not for sharks at all. The promos for this movie paraded around the idea that this movie was for the sharks and how sharks are so misunderstood. This movie did not a damn for the cause against shark finning or the mass murder of sharks. The movie really didn't do anything to try an negate the usual demonetization of sharks. Honestly saying once in the film "i swam right up on his hunting ground" does not change that the rest of the film was spent treating the animal as a monster.
The only thing the movie attempted to do in favor of sharks was that it portrayed sharks with the intelligence that they do possess instead of just brainless.
The Happening (2008)
laughable but with a surprising ending
Now this movie didn't do much in the way of horror, in fact all of the scary parts in the movie were down right laughable. It was honestly one of the funniest movies I've seen in the horror genre, even though it was an unintentional comedy.
I saw this movie through a friend so I missed the twist ending in the theater showing. It was a particularly horrifying twist, which was at the end of the 90 minute long disaster when you realized that M Night had your $20 the whole time.
I rate the movie as high as a 3 because I have never laughed so hard at a plastic tree or wind in a field in my life.
Before I Wake (2016)
scary and sentimental
Imaginative and sad, the movie pulls you in with compassion for the parental figures and the child in the movie. (Which is sometimes underachieved in this genre). Though there are some points of child horror in the movie, I can happily say that for the most part it steers clear of making the child the focal point of fear, we all know how kids are basically living spawn of Satan in horror films. And if you're like me, it's a very tiring trope.
Cody's dreams are beautiful but turn very dark very quickly, the amount of stress the boy feels is understandable and makes him an extremely sympathetic character for the audience. This is one of the first horror films that has successfully made me fear for the safety of a child (Cody) during the story.
The movie plays on the loss the parents feel for their first child and the temptation to use Cody as a way to be with him again. This causes tension between the parents and leads to an interesting conflict between the two. Though I feel the conflict was not focused on enough before continuing with the story.
I feel that the fantasy horror element for the movie is a fine approach. It reminds me a great deal of Guillero del Toro's films. (Think Pan's Labyrinth but with no blood and a few jump scares.) I feel that if you enjoy Guillero del Toro's films, this movie will be an enjoyable experience for you as it beautifully combines fantasy with horror and builds up to a bittersweet ending that leaves you with a bit of an inspired feeling about where the characters may go from where the story leaves off.
The VVitch: A New-England Folktale (2015)
waste of money, time, and effort
Honestly this movie was so terrible it's hard to describe. I am a horror nut, I love horror movies of all kinds from old creature features to modern scifi alien movies. But, in order to love them, they have to be in some way.. actually.. good. This movie did not deliver on it's high promises of "outstanding acting" and it certainly did not live up to it's hype of being "the best horror movie in years" or "a cinematic masterpiece". Frankly the thing that kept me from walking out of the theater on this one was the fact that I literally fell asleep. I have never fallen asleep during a movie before, it was a terrible experience. For a moment I thought, maybe I missed some good stuff, but with the reassurance of my friends who watched the movie while i passed out from boredom, I worried a little less about what amazing cinematic marvels i may have missed. Now, I didn't want to go solely on my friend's feelings, perhaps we were the only ones in the theater who disliked it. Well, that too was proved to be.. an incredible experience. With the last... Terrible. Shot of the movie, which was made to be dramatic and horrifying, half of the audience erupted in laughter while the other half, such as myself, sat in awe of what i was watching, in complete disbelief that someone wrote that down in a script and other people went "this is good." When the movie switched to credits, the room was taken over by a universally spoken "okay then." as people got up to leave. People literally said "okay then." in an un-amused, annoyed, and utterly disappointed manner.
This is without a doubt one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen. It wasn't in the least bit entertaining, which is really the worst thing a movie can be.
