Christine, first time in a long time. 8.5/10

While it's not horror, I just watched I Am Number 4 for the first time.
Now I see why it took me so long to watch it lol |
The Thing (2011)
7/10 Prequel to the 1982 film of the same name. Researchers find a very old spaceship and it's frozen occupant. I think the reviews at the time of it's release were a bit harsh, but certainly not incorrect. That is to say, it's not as good as the 1982 film, and it's much too light in exploring and featuring paranoia. Just when character paranoia heats up, the film is interrupted by more inconsequential action of the CGI, violence and explosive variety. The film is fairly action orientated, but not particularly good at it. It also misses the chance to explore the essence of the new lifeform, and the dire consequences of it's existence. |
Red State - It was alright. Not super scary, but a fun watch. Better than Tusk, even though Michael Parks gave a good performance in both. John Goodman was pretty good as well. I liked the way he portrayed the struggle of his character. On the other part, that whiny kid from the Elm Street-remake was kind of annoying.
American Psycho - One of my favourite Christian Bale-performances. I first saw this film at a festival with a noisy crowd (he bit when he drops the chainsaw: and the crowd goes wild! ::big grin::) and it's still as solid as ever. |
Jigsaw - 6.5/10 - IMO one of the better sequels.
John Wick Chapter 2 - 7.5/10 - It was nice seeing the character return although some of the things in the movie were a bit far fetched like the vast network of hitmen/whatever else they were. You mean to tell me all those people on the streets at the end staring him down are all connected? For what it was though I enjoyed it and I hope John Leguiamo an get his car fixed for part 3. I love that car! |
Mother! - 4/10
With the exception of Noah, I love all of Aronofsky's movies, and despite getting the metaphor behind this one, I just couldn't get into it. The diretion and acting were all great but the story just didn't interest me. I also feel like that final shot was a big fuck you to the viewer as well as all of Aronofsky's movies, aside from Noah again, follow characters with inner struggles and while her struggles were represented, they weren't properly portrayed. I won't post spoilers but those who have seen it know what I men. |

Happy Death Day - 6/10
It was better than I thought it would be (spoiler ahead) although I was a bit disappointed that the reasoning behind her reliving every day was never actually revealed which was a bit annoying but it was still a decent watch. |
The Shape Of Water
How this movie won best picture at the academy awards is beyond me. It bored the hell out of me and I gave it a chance but after an hour I gave up. It just couldn't hold my attention. |

Beetlejuice - 8/10
A timeless clasic! |
THE BANSHEE CHAPTER 2013
A young journalist investigates the disappearance of a close friend only to find he had been experimenting with government classified drugs. I liked it. |
DIS, 2017. 7/10
https://78.media.tumblr.com/2e698df8...6426o1_540.jpg And Marcus Koch's mystery movie in which I am happy with what was sent to me. 2018, 8/10 ![]() |
“Devil’s Gate” 6/10
Not too bad. |
|

The Belco Experiment - 4.5/10
What a way to waste Michael Rooker! |

Ender's Game (2013) 9/10 In near future, a high-military IQ boy is recruited to Battle School by the International Fleet to be trained to defeat an anticipated second attack on Earth from an Alien race. If you like the plot, much better idea to read the excellent 324 page short novel, published 1985, of the same name, which won both the 1985 Nebula Award and the 1986 Hugo Award for best novel. Excellent adaptation of the novel. Hits on the important plots and characters judiciously. Supreme special effects without being at all gaudy or excessive. |
Don't Breathe - 5.5/10
Not as good as I was hoping for, but what is nowadays? |

Friday the 13th Remake Killer Cut - I saw the original cut some type ago. I finally saw the so called Killer Cut and it made no difference to me. I still don't like the movie and will never watch it again. |
|
The Shape Of Water . Well made entertaining Weird Tales type of movie, really enjoyed it. But best picture? Jury's still out on this one.
|
Wish Upon - 3.5/10
I loved the concept, but the writing, acting and death scenes all sucked. |
The Basement
|
Queen of the Damned
Yeah, I know. It's a guilty pleasure. |

Knock, Knock - 7/10
Great revenge flick and one of Keanu's better acting performances. ...and boobies are always nice ::big grin:: |
The Gift (2015) (on netflix)
7/10 "A young married couple's lives are thrown into a harrowing tailspin when an acquaintance from the (Jason Bateman) husband's past brings mysterious gifts and a horrifying secret to light after more than 20 years." - IMDB Not a bad time-waster. If you're looking for a mild psychological thriller that is a little different from the normal black-and-white good-guys-Vs-bad-guys, you might like this. This is not action-packed, and is more of a slow-burn in regards to suspense. I found the ending interesting, but not at all satisfying. The grey areas created in the main characters' moralities didn't amp-up the suspense or pace, rather it seemed to convolute. |
