I love Kevin Bacon, but Hollywood has got to STOP pairing men with women 30 years younger than them. It's sickening, Bacon was almost 30 when Seyfried was born. What's wrong with these people?! Has David Koepp some sort of wierd fetish? Do we need to worry?
Everything I expected from an horror movie in 2022 and more! The main female protagonist is well written, has strenght and weaknesses, the movie is anchored in our patriarcal society, it has strong views and adapted answers for the rape mentality, the horror is brutal and bloody but not overwhelmingly "gore" and it's wrapped inside two (actually three) well-written stories that are believable and true to life. It's not movie of the year by any mean but it's a solid, well-rounded piece of cinema that mixes "classic horror" with 21st century values, and the actors are all credible. I recommend.
That was... aweful and yet thrilling. Unbelievable and hard to describe. The unease by excellence.
Refreshing after a few bad movies, there are some really good puns. I regret that the women are viewed as something to be conquered torough the whole movie, though
Being a parody of a paper RPG doesnt exonerate from being good at plots. I guessed the ending after a few minutes, which isn't good. It's saved by the incredible actress playing the witch and the constant puns, altough previsible still funny enough
A good idea but could be better lead, acting was on point and the atmosphere very acute.
Not especially bad but not the best movie ever: I found it quite poorly written and not "true" to the original material. But there are some good ideas, even though that doesn't suffise to make a good movie.
That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works. Sadly they couldn't bother to hire a programmer to explain how a game or a server work...
Don't believe the trailer. The trailer is a lie: that's not at all what happens in the movie. And don't watch it.
Oh wow, that was terrible. With that title, it started off badly, but I like zombies so why not.
It's a female doctor being raped by Max, when suddenly a cadaver gets back to life and bites Max in the neck. Five years late, the doctor is working at a military facility/refugee camp. The chief there is always giving terrible orders and being a meanie to everyone, and of course one day a little girl gets sick so they have to go to the hospital where the doctor was practicing pre-zombie to get meds. And there, they meet Max again. But zombie Max.
Max follows them to the facility, because he's still obsessed with the doctor (and he's very agile, smart, because fu probably). He gets into the facility and eats people while searching for the doctor. When both of them finally meet again, there's a plot twist: Max the rapist zombie shows his arm, with "ZOE" written in the flesh (it's the name of the doctor btw). Then Max gets captured, and he HAS to stay alive because in his blood there is probably something to make a vaccine. Sadly, he escapes after stealing the keys from his cell by acting like a regular zombie and pretending to eat people (which he normally does but not this time, this time he's faking it to get the keys). Aaaaanyway, he escapes and saves the sick little girl (who's better now) from another regular zombie, because he wants to use the girl as a bargaining token to make Zoe love him or something like that.
The chief then dies, like, stupidly. He gets bitten by a regular zombie and BAM, he's dead. It adds nothing, it serves no purpose, he dies because he's a douche I believe. Except that Zoe the doctor uses that time to escape from Max the rapist zombie, and she hides in a puddle of poop. Ah yes, because Max can talk (we learn that in the last 20min of the movie, btw, after an hour spent with him) and he can also smell like a god. So she hides in poop with a machete and she kills Max. No vaccine then, right? Haha, you'd be wrong, because apparently the writers decided that the vaccine could be made after all and Zoe the doctor saves everyone with her vaccine.
There you go. It was terrible: badly written, bad acting, badly made. 2/10 (Netflix recommends it at 84%, but don't fall for it, it's trash)
That was bad. No, actually terrible. I have no idea why this has such good ratings, when it's a pile of biased facts (examples below), childish views over the society and close to zero actual professional opinions.
Biased fact example: "violent video games turn people violent". They actually say that in the movie, and they quote a study from the Health Department that... does not say that!
Childish view of society: "kids that watch porn think women want what is depicted in those movies". Here, not only do they not provide any information or critical view about it, they actually take an interview of some guy (not a psychologist, not a pediatrician, not even a sociologist) saying "there cannot be no link between watching porn and objectizing women, I don't want to believe that"... I'd be laughing if it wasn't so wrong to actually give a tribune to a random guy's opinion without any critical review of what he's saying.
I couldn't even get to the end of the movie. I stopped around 2/3. If this is how America view themselves and/or (worse) view the human being... boy are they in trouble! In Europe, all that is said in that video is actually being FOUGHT for the past 10 or 15 years, because we realized that saying things like that was total bullshit, after saying those things for a long time.
So either the filmmaker did a terrible research job, either she's trying to prove a (wrong) point knowingly, or the USA are just totally disconnected from the reality. I sure hope it's one of the first two.
What a glorious performance of Catherine Frot. Unbelievable story and touching realization. I had a great time!
I haven't seen any "other" Stanford experiment, I barely heard of it in a Sociology lecture a few years back, so my view pretty much is only about this movie, these actors and this very movie.
And I really liked it. It's tense, it's tough, and I genuinly felt bad for everyone in this experiment: the prisonners, the guards, and the scientists behind it.
I would have liked a follow up on Ezra, though, to know if it was a fake or if he really did mean what he was saying.
I recommend it!
I lasted 8 minutes. Couldn't go further. It's dubbed in french, with (bad) voiceovers and no lip sync. I think I've heard at least 150 insults & swearwords in those 8 minutes. The scenes take forever, everything is slow, and it doesn't even look good.
My my... After I heard on french TV that it was a "fantastic movie", that got badly recieved in Marocco, with the lead actress being bullied and attacked in the streets because of she's playing a prostitute (something apparently not ok in Marocco), I thought "well 4/10 is maybe just some pissed of north-african leaving bad reviews"... but no.
It is bad. It doesn't even deserves 4/10 in my opinion.
Fly, you fools.
Thinking about watching this? Just don't.
