Has anyone of you seen End Trip? I liked it for playing with things like the timeline and expectations, working with modern applications (like Uber and social media) and having some genuinely creepy moments like the bit with the contacts. Granted, it might have had some continuity errors and the bit with the girlfriend seemed a bit unresolved.
Also kind of funny to see this suspiciously positive reviews on IMDB. |

END TRIP 2020
Tommy, I agree with alot of your thoughts on this movie. Things were left up in the air and parts seemed implausible but I never saw that ending coming and enjoyed it for the most part. |

CRUEL INTENTIONS (1999). Despite three of the blandest performers I can imagine, this is a pretty salacious intriguing little film about a rotten Brother/Sister combo who delight in manipulating others for their own entitlement. Certainly worth a look. ***1/2

La influencia plays with relationships in families, particularly the family grudges. Friction between generations and such. I liked the finale and how they built up the tension and the atmosphere. You can recognize the style fairly soon, but that's okay, since this is a good effort. Quick sidenote: For some reason, the main character's sister reminded me of Wendy Torrance. Maybe a little nod to The Shining? Or not. :-) |

What Lies Below 6-7/10
AAAAAAAKWAAAAAAAARD!!!! |
Beyond Re-Animator was eighties cornball fun in 2003.

I finally got to see the Krampus movie from 2013, which sort of does look like a 1970s horror movie, but that's one of the things I like about it. It's also in old school done right format, not as in cheesy. It is also a serious horror film, and not a comedy horror like the one from 2015 is. Krampus and Santa Claus are also on the same team in this one, brothers that actually do see eye to eye, plus the people Krampus mainly targets in this one are rapists, pedophiles, kidnappers, animal abusers, killers, and others who would deserve the torture Krampus gives them. With that being said, Krampus is not really the bad guy in this one. Each victim actually turns out to have done something to deserve it. It has a similar feel to the stories based on E.C. Comics based on bad Karma getting those who have it coming to them in very original and creative ways. I actually would recommend it to those who like the old school done right artsy and gory horror films, and maybe for fans of the E.C. Comics as well. It's not like the one from 2015. ::devil::

I also got to see the sequel to the Krampus movie from 2013 called "Krampus 2: The Devil Returns," which is overall well done for the most part. It does have a few scenes with sloppy editing and the staged combat in there is terrible. Aside from those parts, it is really interesting and intense. It also has its share of twists and turns leading up to a surprise ending that I did not see coming. It also has each and every victim turning out to have done something really bad to deserve the punishment.::danger::

Polar (2019)
6/10 Not a bad action film. Nearing retirement age, an assassin's longtime employer is trying to kill him, as he faces mistakes of the past. |
Halloween H20.
Kind of the "90's slasher" iteration of the franchise, and almost attempted to do much the same as the most recent film did. All in all, I thought it was decent. Perhaps a few too many personalities or something, I always find I preferred the original (and later, the latest one) on account of more simplicity in this regard. I remember I HATED the follow up, but yeah, H20 was decent. I'd give it a 6.5/10 |

Ghostbusters 2.
First watch since the first time I saw it. While I think it's ok, I just can't get into this movie...still don't like it. Loved the first. Must be the lame villain replacements or some such. |

THE REFLECTING SKIN (1991)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> After seeing DAD's clip, had to check this out again. Extremely bizarre film which I think is supposed to focus on the travails of childhood although none of the kids here are bargains, especially Seth. He lives with his extremely bizarre parents (especially his Mother-You'll never hear the word "Water" again and not think of how it's used here), becomes convinced that a greiving Widow living nearby is a Vampire and has set her eyes on his returning from war older Brother (A young Viggo Mortensen, very good here; his reaction at the end is powerful indeed). As the budding romance continues to build, Seth tries to intervene, but finds there is a cost to pay... As mentioned, quite bizarre and many people I've shown it to did not like it ("It was Stupid!" was the standard reply; To be sure, not for everyone. But check it out for Yourself. Incredible photography, many quirky characters ("Sheriff Ticker" for one, especially when He's relating to Seth about his Law enforcement career) and truly one of the biggest attention grabbing openings ever. **** |

LILITH'S HELL 2015
A film crew encounter a soft porn demon in the house they are filming in. Crap. |
"The Craft: Legacy" 4-5/10
First half hour was one big cringefest. Rest of the movie wasn't much better and it never really picked up any pacing or tension. I'm clearly not the target audience, which is probably teens (especially females). There was 1 thing I liked though. And nope, it wasn't David Duchovny's wooden acting, but instead the guy playing the bully turned into a sensitive goody two shoes. I thought he was really good and deserved to be in a better movie than this. |
