Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre (2023)
So much better on paper
I gave it a 7 just because it's Junji Ito, the only author that's really given me nightmares that stuck in my head and are still there. But the show is lackluster, poor animation and a god awful intro.
Why not just animate it in black and white with the penstrokes like in the manga? I'd love to see that and I bet it would be so much better i.e. Scarier, creepier.
Some bits of the show is pretty good but nothing compared to the source material. If you haven't, do yourself a favour and pick up one or two of his collections of stories. Don't judge Mr. Ito on this show.
Some have complained that the episodes ends without you being served explanations, but that's the way he writes the stories. Love it or hate it.
In the Tall Grass (2019)
Keeps you in suspense
I watched this despite of reading alot of bad reviews since I have faith in Stephen King and I did right in doing so, because I for one certainly liked it. The mystery keeps on building and the twists and turns keeps stacking. Don't wait for having answers served to you. The actors did good, so did the crew behind the camera and the score suited the mood.
Annihilation (2018)
The shimmer held me
This is not a movie for everyone. Are you looking for logic, answers and an easy watch then look elsewhere. But if you are into lovecraftian fiction and you know how to keep an open mind, this movie should be for you. I re-watched it tonight and it certainly entertained me as it did during my first watch.
Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020)
Actually, not that bad
It was entertaining with lots of action and comedy. I laughed out loud a couple of times. I don´t read the comics so I´m not as easily offended like others writing reviews here. Give it a chance as the action comedy it is without analyzing to much and I bet you´ll like it as well.
The Walking Dead: Stalker (2020)
Frustration overload
Uhm. Yeah. Where to start? They spoiled the whole episode before the opening credits. How the hell didn't Darryl kill Alpha by the creek? They show both surviving critical wounds by sleeping it off together in a shed. Why the hell didn't Judith double tap Beta with a headshot? How did Beta and Mary (or whatever) get out of the compound that easy? Why did the crew wait to shoot Beta just to let him run away? It was a frustrating episode (one of many). Are the writers done and out, as like what many thought of the last season of GoT? Get rid of the snooze fest Whisperers storyline and move on (The Guvernor and Negan where much creepier)! Kill off most of the friendly camps and get the important characters (if there are any) on the road again. I may just wait out the season and lazy binge it when it's done. When the episode where over, me and my brother just sat silent, uttered a sigh or two and moved on to The Outsider. That's a show that just gets me frustrated cause the episodes feels to short. It's that good.
Dracula (2020)
A fresh take on the legend
I've seen a lot of horror shows, a couple of vampire shows and this one is very well made. It was not tjat hard binging the episodes in a night but the end was very lackluster to me.
Midsommar (2019)
A display of traditions
It was a great movie, don´t get me wrong. But I can´t see what´s so disturbing or chocking with it. As a swede I see it as a documentation of a normal swedish celebration of midsummer.
The Fanatic (2019)
No need to see
I gave this a 5 because of Devon Sawa, that´s it. Now, move along.
Rocketman (2019)
I went in to it knowing what it was...
...but it was too much of what it was. A musical. No shame on those liking musicals but I´m not one of them, not in this case anyhow. I´d like it more if it was a biopic since I myself is a musician and likes to see how others succeded.
I love Taron and he did a great job in this musical.
Robin Hood (2018)
Lots of action, not much brains
Ok, so this movie is not clever. It will not win any prizes, like, none. But I went in to it thinking it would be a fun action flick, and it was. Sure, there are better dumb action movies out there but this surely wasn´t the worst.
