Live Animals (2008)
It was decent until........
Hmmhad a decent plot. I feel like there should have maybe been a little bit more to it. However, right at the end, I'm all excited about how the plot turned into a new direction, even though the particular twist was foreseeable (both kinda were actually). They loterrat7u.
Scary Bride (2020)
Not a bad movie option....
While I would not go out of my way to find this movie, it is not a bad movie to watch. Along with the horror aspect there is quite a bit of comedy in it. I think if you want a good and stupid laugh, then this is definitely the right movie for you. I think my favorite part after movie is when he slaps the woman he is trying to run from with a fish.
Daylight (2013)
Not a bad watch at all
First, being from Indiana I was very surprised to find out we had a town called Daylight. I just stumbled across this movie on Tubi and I actually enjoyed it. However, there are two main issues that I just cannot get past because they began to drive me insane.
First - more than halfway through the movie, the camera began moving a lot more. A LOT more. I began to feel some motion sickness coming on. It was either being dropped, shook, the picture screwing up as they tend to do in paranormal movies, underwater, etc. If you can do it to a camera, it was done. Found footage movies sometimes have this issue and while I understand how they are being made, it also doesn't take away from the movie if we can get through it without feeling like we'd rather fast forward through those parts so we don't need to take a motion sickness pill.
Second - more towards the end, the storyline starts blending together because, hey, that is what possessed people do to screw with the non-possessed: dig up dirt to fling. But this is something else I feel we can do without in any movie. In a very rapid succession we go from the little girl's birthday to the mom who drowned to the guy meeting with the priest in the woods back to the little girl then back to the drowned mom. This bouncing began to make what was going on very confusing to me. When movies do this, I tend to switch them off until I can sort out the confusion in my head but this began so close to the end I didn't bother. This is something that we thankfully don't see very often in found footage movies, which is a blessing considering we have the above mentioned issue in so many.
With those issues said, I still liked the movie. Again, I was shocked to find out we actually have a place called Daylight after spending the better part of my 40 years living in Indiana. While I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to hung this movie down, if you are on Tubi or any streaming service that has it, give it a shot and see if you can get into it. It isn't boring, so there is that. And it also shows there really is more than corn in Indiana :)
Behind the Walls (2018)
Plot Confusion!
I know this movie has gotten a lot of negative feedback, but I personally thought it wasn't bad. I know I have seen much worse, by far. However, there is a major point of confusion for me,
The plot explains that there is an evil there that's waited for years, however, when the little girl first falls into the basement and she walks over to pick up her frog that appears magically....she looks up and sees the "evil" and says "Daddy." Then, she smiles in a somewhat creepy way. And it seems later on as if this is, in fact, their father that has somehow manifested into this ...thing...which when his brother shows up out of nowhere, he seems to imply that their dad is dead when tells Kathy to tell the kids why they can't see him and he can't see them. Then when Derry catches Karrie talking into the vent and goes to tell their mom, Karrie literally comes out of nowhere wearing a coat we can only assume is their dad's (mostly because of the comment she makes to mom) and straight tackles him. During their tussle, their father speaks and it comes across as if he IS the thing in the house by the comments he makes. Then, to add to that, Mike seems to have a crush on a girl we never even see or meet until he takes out trash one night. They are new to this town, how did he even meet her? So the next time he tries to see her, she isn't with her friends, but appears out of thin air when he closes the trashcan lid. After a failed make-out attempt, he goes into the other room and they talk through the walls. Then, she literally just gets kind of absorbed into the wall after telling Mike he has no idea how much it means to her that he is thinking about staying. So is SHE the evil thing? Then back to the uncle (the dad's brother), he breaks in after being thrown out and you hear a voice tell him "You aren't supposed to be here." That again would go back to the thing being the dad. Or heck, is it the uncle since he ended up losing his head over the matter?!?!?! And does anyone recall the daughter mentioning "elves" when they try to leave but the doors are locked and they find the uncles head and the thing comes out of the basement. Elves now too? Geez.... I could keep going but I just can't.
So that's my whole issue with the movie. Because when the mom says "Take me. I have what you want" the thing lets the kids go and takes her, but he does again try to take the kids later (which he said earlier during the twins' tussle, that they would all be together again). It does seem to appear he never harmed the kids considering they constantly say how they wish he was the there. The daughter really more so than her twin brother. But whether or not he ever harmed them doesn't really matter because if it IS him, maybe he just wants his kids with him (this is one way to look at it also).
In the things said and the actions made, it all seems to point to this thing being their father that their mother has ran from, but that is nowhere near matching to the plot summary.
Follow Me (2020)
Worth the watch
I came across this on Hulu and decided it looked like a decent movie to watch. My only semi-disappointment was the ending. This isn't a movie that's slow to take-off nor does it just dive headfirst into the shallow end. I haven't seen many movies with an ending to match this one, so while it's not exactly original it's also still far from an overplayed plot twist.
Diary of a Demon (2014)
Interesting at first
It starts interestingly enough, students disappeared and found footage. Then the "disappeared" students appear again and in different roles. This cancels out the entire storyline in my opinion and couldn't even finish it.
Slasher.com (2017)
Decent with a couple shocking twists
This was a very decent movie. As the end got close you're hit with 2 surprise twists. One you already maybe wonder about right before it's revealed. Definitely worth a watch.
