Into the Night (2020)
WASTE OF TIME
They had a great plotline and the story seemed to be going really well, but a lot of scenes just seemed forced and unnecessary as if they were added to get us to know the characters, but that was executed very poorly and made it seem fake. Good beats and song choice, but very poor filming and ultimately the story. Unfortunate because they could have done a lot with the plotline...

Glitch (2015)
GREAT SERIES. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I absolutely loved the idea behind this show. It was really nicely filmed, with great angles, and good chemistry between the characters. you immediately like the show once you get the hang of it. The storyline is beautiful and I've watched this show multiple times. However, if you truly want to enjoy this really uniquely brilliant show, i would highly suggest only watching till Season 2, where it ends on a great cliffhanger, and has you wondering about all the things that could happen. Watching Season 3 it was so obvious that the show was rushed to an ending, one that was highly disappointing. They could have gone in a really different direction and possibly continued this series with the great concept that they had.
Slasher (2016)
WASTE OF TIME
Season 1 is good. Season 2 is boring. Season 3 is absolutely horrible. It doesn't even look like America, and it just feels restricted and overdone watching the episodes, with them trying to force an unnecessary muslim thing on, as well as stupid cliche moves..
Bonding (2018)
Disrespectful and shameful
Sex is a very intimate thing. Not sure what is with Netflix glorifying things that should be very personal business to someone. This is not normal behaviour, dominating and submitting to someone is not a joke. The actors are not good either, so you're just sat there feeling offended and not satisfied with anything.
The Walking Dead (2010)
Waste of time
I used to be such a big fan. First few seasons were brilliant and so entertaining to watch and the twists were so believable. Beyond season 6 however, it's just really forced and I feel the producers are mostly only running this for the money. 10 times escape from zombies is understandable, 20 is, but 50 times is just bad on the zombie race. The main characters seem to be surviving miraculously and the circumstances keep getting more and more dreadful. I feel it's really forced and they are just using anything by season 8 to keep them still in publicity. The smart thing would really have been to end the seasons nicely...
The Open House (2018)
Waste of time
I really like Dylan Minnette, but this movie straight up sucks. Watched the whole movie and I still don't understand the point of it. No explanation is given for anything...
Banshee (2013)
WAAY TOO FICTITIOUS
I do honest reviews. The plot seems good, and I'd recommend up until season 2, whereafter I firmly believe that the director and producers should have been just fine with the show and left it for good, leaving fans in a state where they truly missed the show. However, they decided to be greedy and mint more money out of the at-the-time popular series. Season 3 and 4 are just horrible. The characters just feel too redundant, the plot is just below average, the main actor seems to be living in a perfect ideal world, and everyone associated with him do too. I would have liked it if they made the show seem at least a little realistic. Instead all the people connected with the main actor are some sort of super heroes, and no matter just how big the hurdle can be, they just somehow make it out. Like I said, it's way too fake. For me, the show ended in season 2.
Riverdale (2017)
Unrelatable in most ways
Watching this the first time blew my mind. loved the show and the touching scenes and the enticing music.
Watching this show the second time, I observed just how ridiculous it really was. The parents are all basically like teenagers making all the wrong decisions, and the 'kids' are the most adult 40 something people trapped in young bodies, going about solving cases for police officers, teaching lessons to their parents and each other. I get that the show is focusing on some taboos and controversies, but it's really not right to add up some touching music and make all the elderly people look stupid. that is how you cause chaos amongst youngsters and rebels. Parents are not always wrong, but when you watch a show like this, you start feeling like you are this independent person who is ready to take on the world and doesn't need any guidance, when really you could do with some years of more knowledge. It's fictitious and non real but the show ignites wrong beliefs in my opinion. Songs are nice and the camera angles are well chosen.
Joy Ride 3: Road Kill (2014)
Waste of time
Very predictable, dumb and stupid moves, cringey scenes, and a lot of forced violence and sadism just for the sake of it. Plot was very poor but the actors were really hot.
Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead (2008)
Waste of time
Great looking actors. Terrible plot. Very predictable. The director did a horrible job, nothing like the prequel, which was actually really enjoyable.
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
Brilliant!
Love this show, and I will definitely recommend it everyone. I am a horror buff and I know how hard it is to find a good horror production. This series was very engaging and with the right kind of spooky, and at no point did I feel bored or want to criticise a plot section. The actors did a lovely job, really making me believe in everything that was happening. I would have been more happy if the series was longer, and with more horror bits to it (there are so many characters that can be added), but I'm very happy with the way it was filmed and at how smoothly it transits back and forth in the past and present of this undeserving family. Really hope there are more seasons coming!
Annihilation (2018)
Animal violence
NO MOVIE SHOULD PROMOTE ANIMAL VIOLENCE. Absolutely zero stars regardless of the good plot.

Wish Upon (2017)
Now this is a horror movie
Right from the start to cast, I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. You can really see a high school girl here and her mentality as she faces various dilemmas, and how her relationships with others progress. That side of vulnerability is so apparent, and that made this movie very enjoyable. Different concept, good jump scares, lovely music, and fantastic filming angles. I will definitely recommend this to everyone.
Summer of 84 (2018)
Okay.
Nice story. A bit like Disturbia and IT. However, what I really quite didn't like was that the 1984 in the title is only mainly because they want to make a sequel out of it. There was nothing that reminded me of the wonderful 80's decade. Music was modern to attract modern children, looks and clothes and cars sand hairstyles, none of them gave me an 80's vibe. In fact I had forgotten about that until I saw the title again towards the casting time. They could have made a great movie if they focused on that side. A lot of us love the 80's you know.
Poltergeist (2015)
Terrible
The characters are all wrong, the dialogues are all wrong, it screams poorly scripted, no emotional connection could be seen between one another. Scenes were badly shot. I could tell how badly staged some of their stunt scenes were. This movie is poor at best. Don't waste your time.
A Quiet Place (2018)
Great movie, but with a catch
Nice concept, John Krasinski did a brilliant job with this movie and the characters acted well. However, this movie raises many questions about the ideology behind it. Everyone is required to stay quiet or they'll be hunted by these monsters but there are many things one can do to protect themselves, landing in a relatively safe audible lifestyle, for one by creating a soundproofed room. If you watch it for the movie, you'll love it, but if you start thinking of what actions one can take, that's when it starts to make less sense.
Sex and the City (2008)
WASTE OF TIME.
I'm sorry it just didn't work for me. I was on a Sex and the City marathon and watched all the episodes before watching this movie, and I regret to say that I was more than just disappointed. The characters weren't being played properly, it was way too extravagant, there seemed not much connection between the characters, and in some instances it just looked downright forced. There were some really gorgeous scenes in the movie though, and I would only recommend this movie for the fancy dresses and the fancy shoes. It all just looked too fake and unrealistic. The most annoying thing that I felt throughout this series was Chris Noth. Terrible acting, terrible scripts, childish and dumb decision making skills. You cannot understand where most of the main characters are coming from. To me it felt there was hardly any determination from the actors to really play their characters. The series was much better.
Identity (2003)
Perfectly done!
I am in love with this movie. It's so well done, the actors have done such a wonderful job of their characters. i like movies where characters make decisions that seem realistic, and this definitely flows in really well. It has a MAJOR twist that left me starstruck when I realised it. It might be a bit difficult to understand, but all good movies should be so. I like every bit of the movie and I would 100% recommend it to anyone who likes mystery, or thriller, or horror. A strong 10/10 because this has to be one of my favourite movies of all time.
Busanhaeng (2016)
LOLOLOL
This movie is SO heavily overrated, I can't even fathom why. If you want to watch a real horror movie, please scroll through. If you are looking to be entertained, or better yet, if you are one of those people who like horror movies mixed in with the sub mediocre comedy, like the 'Scary Movie' types, only then do I recommend this.
I basically laughed out so loudly throughout most of this movie. The acting was so hilarious and overdone and painfully forced. The behaviour of the 'zombies' was unpredictable because sometimes when the plot wanted it they could walk only slowly, sometimes run away like athletes with ghoulishly done faces, and sometimes just look too lost, it almost felt they were sympathetic of the main characters sad life. I cried laughing.
I love horror movies, but this is not a good portrayal of one.
The Uninvited (2009)
Underrated jewel
This movie is very underrated. I love horror movie and critique them a bit strictly. The plot to this movie is really well played, the actors did wonderful, the scenery is great, and the music blends in really well. This is a movie that comes with nice big twists, and you cannot easily predict what really is going on until you reach down to the last scene and add it all up together. This is a must watch movie that doesn't come with typical horror movie cliche's, or badly put make up on villians, or stupid, pointless animations, but a strong set of nicely shot scenes. I give it a 10/10 because it's so underrated, and as someone who encourages people to watch horror movies, I feel I must emphasise.
Insidious (2010)
One of the best horror movies
Horror movies tend to be weirdly rated. the Conjuring, The Exorcist, these movies weren't half as good as this movie. I feel this is one brilliantly done horror movie. I love horror movies and always critique and at times even make fun of decisions made by characters. I felt this movie was genuine, the decisions seemed realistic, the scares were real scares. When you watch a horror movie and you want to really watch it for the genre, you probably do something like what I do, switch off the lights in the room, put on the earphones or the speakers and watch it somewhat close to the screen. If you do that with this movie, haha, well let's just say, you wouldn't be going to sleep right after you finish. It's really well done, and is one of my favourite horror movies of all time.
P.S. I Love You (2007)
Sorry but no.
I didn't feel much of a connection between the characters. I feel this movie is a bit too overrated. The characters could have played a more intimate role, and at times I felt emotions were a bit forced. Lovely green Irish backgrounds however.
While You Were Sleeping (1995)
Brilliant!
I loved this movie quite a lot. I've seen it a few times, and it is one of my favourite rom-coms. As a guy I'm not usually attracted to rom-coms but this was a great exception. Sandra Bullock is lovely in this movie and her relationships with other characters is really well portrayed. A must watch! Also, it's from the 90's, and the scenes are idyllic.
