Damn it. Maybe SyFy can pick it up.
There is really nothing much to say about it. A pretentious director, paired with an actress with mediocre talent at best, and both of them really convinced that they're doing something seriously scary and good... Unfortunately, it can't be further from the truth. The screenplay isn't neither scary nor inventive, the direction is pedestrian at best, and the acting is borderline amateurish, with the leading actress whose accent sounds as fake as she is in some lousy high-school play.... There is literally not ONE truly scary or suspenseful moment in the movie, and, although I didn't love Ti West's previous overrated but competent movie X, this one is a serious step in the wrong direction when it comes to possible franchise-building out of this non-inventive, pretentious crap. Two stars is a generous grade for this dreck, IMHO.
Sorry, but can I please have the time I wasted on this back? The only reason I kept watching was because I hoped the movie would somehow get better.
To everyone who is thinking about watching this: I would rather eat Glass than watch this movie again.
The main actor is so perfectly cast! The writing needs some work, but when it goes with Matt Ryan, the show is flawless. I hope it gets a S2, because it has potential when they let it be. Also the comics are great, so with that source, there is a lot to work with. The thing is that Ryan is 100% Hellblazer, but a lot of the show is more like early Supernatural.
I waited months for this, I was so excited! But I guess my expectations were too high... Since sadly enough it turned out to be a bunch of meh... ! It was alright...
Should've called this "horny grandma"
This is just stupid. The only thing I found amazing about the whole thing was that I watched it all! I kept waiting for something intriguing to happen... and it just ended.
I'd like to point out that this movie is trying to call itself a "comedic, horror", But after seeing this movie, the only comedic horror that you've been viewing, is M. Night Shyamalan's movie career.
This was just painful. I would have loved to been there when this story was pitched, by M Night
Damn, i don't believe what i just watched. This is some crazy movie, and i love it! Definitely deserve better grade!
liked the movie it was refreshing to se a more psychological horror also love weird gene splicing thing
Three lackluster episodes sprinkled with cliches and tired concepts (except maybe "family" antagonists). At least the other DCU TV properties embrace their camp and play into it. This is just bad; trying to be edgy and dark.
I looked it up, there is no body paint shortage, so you can buy any color even in walmart for 5 bucks. Lets be honest though.This whole series is so low budget I seriously doubt they will pay even 5$ for anything for the enhancment of the show.
Jesus this bad… Like, WW84 bad…. Like, Cats bad… Like, Jack & Jill bad…. Like, Paul Blart bad…
I don't get the hype and relatively high score. While the film manages to disgust, it fails to scare or thrill. The old-person costumes make the antagonists look distractingly fake and their speech doesn't match their appearance, which is off-putting but also immersion breaking.
With perhaps the exception of terrible pacing, there's nothing new here. The first half nearly put me to sleep and despite a few gory moments, the second wasn't worth the wait. The story and characters are not compelling. Even as slashers go, it feels bland and meaningless.
Can we talk about that waaaay too modern lightbulb in the closeup on the top of the stairs to the cellar? Did nobody pay attention during production???
I'm not gonna call this one terrible at all, it's a pretty unique horror movie but it just wasn't for me.
I didn't like how much of a slow burner it was despite being a slasher film, took a whole hour for the horror aspects to get a move on. We get 60 mins of sex and about 30 to 35 mins of horror. Like I get it, it's the premise of the thing but Jesus they drag out those freaking scenes for way too long, if I wanted to see porn I'd just see porn. By the time we get to the horror I didn't even care about it anymore, though I will say I found about 2 of the kills to be pretty unique and well executed.
I honestly think that I might have liked it better if RJ ended up snapping and becoming the actual villain and say he's gonna turn the film into his own sick project but instead we end up with "Old gross people are jealous to a crazy level that they can't have sex". The villains also seemed to switch between pathetically weak and strong & stealthy on a dime.
I think I'd rather re-watch The Skeleton Key (2005) or Malignant (2021) than watch this again.
Nothing good to say about this one. Didn't really catch my attention.
Idk what evil power compelled me to waste my time with this. Not scary, not interesting, just disgusting.
That was some of the most unconvincing old people make up I've seen in a movie yet. It's now been 45 minutes and absolutely nothing has happened other than setting up unlikeable characters to be murdered.
"Sing 2" dazzles audiences with its captivating storytelling, finely crafted character arcs, and seamless plot progression. From start to finish, the film delivers everything one anticipates from an animated masterpiece. The blend of spectacle and heart is truly remarkable, drawing viewers into a world brimming with imagination and charm.
While the movie excels in many aspects, there's a lingering desire for deeper exploration, particularly regarding Calloway's story. A more in-depth dive into his character could have added layers of complexity and emotional depth, enriching the overall narrative and leaving a more profound impact on the audience. Despite this slight shortfall, "Sing 2" remains a delightful cinematic experience that entertains and inspires, leaving audiences longing for more.
As this is such a blatant rip off of The Autopsy of Jane Doe, I'd like to do an autopsy of this film.
The Possession of Hannah Grace was riddled with clichés and suffered from an abundance of jump scares aggravated by a total deficiency of true horror. The film is dead to me from the complications I had caring about anything on the screen before me.
I recommend watching the remake; the rape is more visceral and the revenge is more drawn-out and violent. And if you're watching a movie in the "rape & revenge" subgenre of horror, those are really the only two things the movie needs to do well.
Yes, it's more a less a retread of the first but yes I had a blast. There was a bittersweet moment init that made my eyes well up. The whole audience burst into song at the end AND My three year old kept proclaiming how good the film was. That alone is enough to give 8 stars to a nostalgia play
Oh and both the mid-credit scene and the end credit bumper were gold
:heart:x8
This is the only movie deserving to be the 3rd in the Ghostbusters trilogy.
It was a lot of fun, smart, and brought back so many good memories. A throwback to when blockbuster movies were good and fun, with feelings. I loved how Trevor and Phoebe actually looked like their grandfather Egon.
They could easily make a couple more sequels with this cast.
I only have one negative thing to say - Paul Rudd was really creepy as the gatekeeper. Maybe a little too much so. lol
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Looking for zombies getting shot-up in slow-mo? Got it.
Need guns and a very zoned-out main actor? Here you are.
Need some old-school views on what male and female is in both the human and zombie realms? Served.
All in all, this film is a bunch of shoot-'em-up scenes patched together with fairly little love. I miss what made George A. Romero's zombie films scary and funny. Sure, there are a few jump-scares throughout this film, but the main zombies grow old and stale after a very short while.
This film should have been edited. Also, what's up with the super-bokeh everywhere? I thought that kind of filming died in 2003.
Just watch the opening credits. It is the best part of the movie.
Really pointless movie. Very amateur stuff.
Dave Batista can do better.
Rather watch Zombieland.
Dave Bautista was absolutely awesome as a professional wrestler; like so many others before him (Dwayne Johnson being the sole anomaly) he fails miserably on the big screen however. This movie had potential but the acting was listless, lifeless, spiritless and meaningless. The story was COMPLETELY predictable to any fan of zombie flicks, but so far removed from any decent undead movie that I found myself regretting I had wasted my time. News flash, people: Zombies are DEAD people; ergo, they are incapable of reproducing. That should have been reason alone to turn this off, but I'm a slow learner and kept hoping.
In the end, it was an enormous disappointment, and I would be remiss if I didn't warn others to avoid this idiocy. A complete - COMPLETE! - waste of time, and certainly at 2.5 hours in runtime it's not worth sitting through. I really wanted to like it...I really EXPECTED to like it...but alas, 'twas not to be.
Avoid this one unless you've got absolutely NOTHING else....
On second thought, just avoid this one. Period. It reeks.
