Eat

EAT

(Edit) 09/08/2018

Kind of an Allegory about Comfort Eating . A Messed up ,out of work Actress starts Eating herself whenever she gets stressed .

Obviously the outcome is not good. and its basically telling you , If you Comfort Eat then your Shit Life is All Your Fault .

Homelessness, Lovelessness ,Friendlessness and Joblessness .

Gruesome and Foolish and Self Harming . its an interesting watch ,even if you cant feel too much sympathy for the idiot eating herself to death.

Contracted: Phase 1

Phase 1 ?

(Edit) 09/08/2018

An interesting beginning to what may become an all out Apocalypse by Phase 3 if it ever gets made ?

Slightly Homophobic in making all the Lesbian Cast members seem Deeply Unlikable people ,Manipulative ,Drug taking and making sure they are Obviously in Need of Therapy and open to all sorts of STI infections.even if This one was passed on by a Predatory male.

Very Entertaining Movie and Interesting watching the Victim become the Aggressor as the story develops. Certainly worth watching and looking out for the Next installment if there ever is a Phase 2 or 3.... well worth a watch if you like Body Horror ,Zombies or Grossness.

Coherence

Coherence ? hmm. vaguely

(Edit) 05/08/2018

Interesting ,though pretty Low Budget Time Loop problem, If you have seen the movie ' Triangle ' you will know what to expect here. Takes a while to get going ,and ages before you get any kind of reveal. a Dinner Party of really rather annoying people ,apparently friends who have all dated one another in the past, get stressed out as a rare Comet passes Earth ,and all hell breaks loose by the ending.

Worth seeing though dont all rush at once ,its OK,That's all, its not Great but it is Worth seeing ....eventually .

The Mimic

Mimic...but NOT the Insect one !

(Edit) 05/08/2018

Spooky film starts off well ,sadly I felt the ending was a bit messy and let it all down ,but the build up to that was worth watching.

Subtitles can distract from action in some Horror movies, This one didnt seem to d that to badly ,though by the end i was a bit confused about the Evil Father /Daughter arrangement going on. Maybe that just didn't come across well in Translation.

Pretty good Ghost story though. worth seeing if Oriental Horror is a thing of yours ,certainly one of the better productions.

Jupiter Ascending

Jupiter....who cares ...

(Edit) 29/07/2018

Entertaining enough as a Family Movie, this isn't really what it looks like. More for the Kids than anyone .

Imagine mixing Return to OZ with Dune and you are pretty close .

All a bit Disney Princess from Modern Day Chicago lost in in Space and a bit Tacky.

Nice looking Special Effects but the story is childishly naff.

Blue Ruin

Blue Ruin ?

(Edit) 29/07/2018

Hmm... how to describe this, it's a Brutal Revenge story, but soo Slow in the telling, and the protagonist is pretty Dumb that it is often more Annoying than Thrilling.

A lot of sitting about waiting for people to turn up ,you really did feel you were sat there with him in the dark waiting and waiting ......too much waiting and very little action .

The Pact 2

The PACT pt2

(Edit) 27/07/2018

Pretty Weak Follow up to The Pact , Nice to see the heroine from the first movie appear later on in this movie .

Had some interesting bits but the Main Lead was a bit Wishy Washy . at least in the first Pact the lead was a Strong Decisive Woman , this one is the usual bumbling, tripping over her own feet kind of push over they always are in Horror. Shame as the first movie gave us a bit more Feminism for our money.

Otherwise its pretty much the same but expanded story. Serial Killer ,Victims and Ghosts .

Watchable but a little disappointing.

The Returned

Returned means Semi Cured .

(Edit) 27/07/2018

I loved this ,a Different angle on a Zombie Outbreak, and Aftermath.

More a Drama /Thriller than real Horror as for most f thee movie the Zombie outbreak was years ago and we are dealing with the survivors ,at least whilst the Drugs that contain them are still available .

Sadly the Twist in the tail was pretty obvious from the off , and I would have liked a better resolved Ending dealing with that Twist.

All in all though a Very Watchable Movie ,Entertaining, Action, Drama and Panic but not the usual Happy Ending we've all come to expect .

The Pact

PACT

(Edit) 22/07/2018

Pretty Low Budget but Effective Horror , combining Serial Killer and Haunting in the one storyline.

Unusual but not unexpected outcome .

Family Secrets are revealed once Mother Dies. and some of these secrets didn't Die with Mother !

Unfriended

Unfriendly ...

(Edit) 22/07/2018

Online Movie which distracts horribly with on screen icons and Web chat ,Skype etc...

All played out as if in actual time Chatting on Skype and via email/text .

Visuals are pretty poor as all is kept in small thumbnails or wider view snapchat windows to keep to the real time element.

Bullying storyline seems a bit weak as the girl involved only seemed to have ONE moment in her life shamed online briefly ,unlike Most Cyber Bullying where it involves the Victims entire being ,physically ,mentally and their private life being degraded publicly, this one seems a popular girl that got embarrassed enough by One single incident after getting drunk to Kill Herself ....To be honest if she was really THAT Shallow why do we care ?

Wish Upon

Wishes in a Box

(Edit) 19/07/2018

Not bad , Entertaining enough movie, Wishes ending with Deaths is a pretty well known and often told tale .The Monkeys Paw being the most famous .

This one is not exceptional in any way ,but like any Good Horror the pace keeps up with a death every 10 to 15 mins so it doesn't get Boring ,just a bit samey . This seemed a mix between Monkeys Paw and Final Destination in the way the Deaths took place.

Over all ,not a bad movie to sit down with, dont expect too much but it certainly didnt disappoint. well worth a watch .

Apartment 143

Appart from mental?

(Edit) 19/07/2018

Not a bad ,hand held camera type film as far as they go.

Not FOUND footage this time but Documentary Footage of a Possible Haunting/Poltergeist ,A single parent family moved from Haunted Home to find where they moved to is also being Haunted ? ...or is it?

Not bad acting throughout EXCEPT for the Head of the Psychic Investigations Team, who cant seem to stop himself looking at the camera and pulling ODD faces.

Spooky happenings, noises, moving furniture,smashing glass,bodies being lifted and thrown all the usual you get in Possession and Haunting Movies.

Entertaining enough but the very end spoils the whole thing for me with a tagged on extra you were waiting for but that should have been better .

The Hitman's Bodyguard

Bodyguard/Hitman where des one end and the other begin ?

(Edit) 16/07/2018

Very Entertaining ,But pretty much Formula Fulfilling Action Movie. Plenty of Comedy along the way and a Very Funny side performance by Salma Hayek as the Hitman's Wife .

Very watchable, Great Fun but dont expect anything New ,just good old fashioned Action,Car Chases, Firearms and Fisticuffs .
