I find it sad that you can't believe someone has a different opinion.
Who cares if he loves that movie. It's his right.

I liked Brenton Thwaites. It was the first movie I saw him in. He was also in Maleficent, which I didn't like at all, and he was also in The Signal. He was better in The Signal IMO.

How about instead of getting offended and sarcastic you defend the movie and sell me on its merits. You think it's good for a reason. Come on debate me

I thought the whole point of this place was to talk about and debate movies? I stated why i dont like it, he should state why he doesnt.

I thought the movie had a really interesting plot, rather than just becoming "Mirrors 3", and the two alternating timelines made it even more interesting. The mirror was also set up as a pretty cool antagonist since it's very powerful and dark looking, yet it is vulnerable, as shown in the ending. The acting was also good from everyone, although I don't really expect anything else from the actors involved. The movie also had great cinematography to accent its creepy atmosphere.

STIR OF ECHOES (1999)-Really liked the Richard Matheson book and was looking forward to this. Curious as to why the need was felt to make so many changes and throw in so many THE SIXTH SENSE/THE SHINING homages. Worth seeing, but really could have been a lot better. **1/2
Did like the clips from THE MUMMY'S SHROUD and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD the little boy is watching on TV (maybe he's a HORROR.COM forum member now?) and the babysitter reading Matheson's THE SHRINKING MAN

Pseudo Found footage film that is riddled with cliches, bad acting and a plot that runs by the numbers. Considering this, i liked it more that I should.That kid from the Inbetweeners puts in an embarrassing performance.



I think ChronoGrl might like it though...

Recently saw the trailer for this one... Looked potentially silly but I'll give any Found Footage a try. ::cool::

The plot was different from Mirrors and honestly i found the plot better. I disagree about the acting. Karen Gillan seemed so methodical like she wasn't even trying. I didn't find it creepy at all and the jumping around in time made it hard for me to connect to the story or the characters.

That's why I said I'm glad it wasn't just "Mirrors 3". I didn't like Mirrors because that was so tonally inconsistent. How did the two storylines make it "hard to connect to the characters"?

Dude I was agreeing with you on the mirrors thing damn. Relax.

The story jumped around and instead of building a good story and characters they threw both at you and then let flashbacks tell the story. I couldn't connect because of that.

No one's excited.

The story jumped back in forth because the mirror is supposed to cause hallucinations that manipulate time and space. It also shows why Kaylee was so obsessed with destroying the mirror and how it affected both of their lives. Had it just shown one timeline, it probably would have been a pretty generic movie.

Annabelle
 
This was painfully unoriginal, had bad acting, directing, writing, and cinematography, and the priest character was extremely unnecessary, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. It had a lot of effective tension accented by its good scares, and I liked how it was set in 1968.

7/10 for entertainment
3/10 for quality


I can't give one rating because I feel like this was a guilty pleasure of mine, and sometimes, I just need some dumb horror.

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about setting up the plot and characters instead of just throwing us headfirst into without an explanation.

O think this is a very fair review, I found it held tension very well but failed to deliver the punches to go with it.

That's what the past timeline was doing. That was the explanation.

I saw it with my aunt in the cinema (she liked it), and she whispered to me, "they're gonna get hit by a car".

Ha. I was thinking the same thing.

Nice to see a found footage flick with an actual ending for a change.

You're not understanding me. I like some character and story development before I'm thrust headfirst into a story. Take a little time to acclimate me to the characters and set up the plot or else im not going to be interested.

Then that seems like a personal preference, which you should have stated in the first place.

Its not just a personal preference. Its good storytelling. Besides I did mention that, you just didn't understand me

By the time the mirror started showing what it does, I thought the characters' motives and personalities were extremely easy to grasp and understand, and the story was also pretty well set-up.

horcrux2007 12-13-2014 08:55 PM

The Crazies
 
"The Crazies" sends you head-first into an appropriately crazy movie. It has great gore and makeup effects, the characters all had good personalities, and the acting and cinematography were great. The middle of the film does get a little slow, and there are some scenes that you just shake your head in disbelief at the plot holes, but this movie has a lot of great action, tension, and emotion.

Well I disagree. It was my biggest issue with the movie

The Apparition
 
After a college project gone terribly wrong, a ghost haunts a couple that becomes stronger as they start believing in it.

Didn't offend me as much as I thought it would. It had some interesting ideas that never really flourished, sadly, but there were one or two really cool and creepy scenes. The scene in the hotel was a good one, and there's another scene were the main chick is nailing a door shut, but the camera pans back, and we see that she's actually inside the locked door with the ghost/demon/whatever. The rest was pretty mediocre. The first thirty minutes were painfully boring, but if you can get past that, it's a good way to waste a night with a friend or two.
