Can't think of a better actress to play a stalker than Aubrey Plaza and she does a great job. O'Shea Jackson Jr. is fantastic. I really liked the message I thought they were trying to say about today's society. People post fake shit on the internet to try and get people to like them but no one really cares.
Surprisingly dark at its core but a very fun ride. Aubrey Plaza has been picking some pretty interesting projects lately.
Better than I expected, and really cool seeing actors from other horror films in this. I love the "movie within a movie" subgenre of horror. This is almost as good as Anguish (1987) and Demons (1985). A real nice twist on the horror genre.
The first half was good. It made sense. Slow, but the cinematography worked fell its favour. It had a feeling of mystery. The second half (marked by the first erection) was when it turned into an incoherent wannabe shock fest. Still, it looked great and I liked the music. Overall, some of the dialogue was interesting, but sometimes it pushed too far into the unrelatable or cryptic. I wanted way more actual plot in this movie. There were way too many unanswered questions in this movie, and they could have been interesting to resolve. If the description of the movie hadn't told us the setting, how would we even know? I've read negative reviews about it being artsy and pretentious. I think it is. However, it's probably one of the better artsy and pretentious movies. I actually finished it. I laughed a few times at the ridiculousness of it, when it wanted to be serious. The problem with movies trying to explore the darker places of human nature is that they can end up being a cliché weird sex movie. That is nothing new.
I gave this movie 8/10 just because I watched it without watching the trailer first and reading the story.. Basically I surprised myself with this movie so when I started watching I didn't have these negative thoughts about it, like it being stupid or boring therefore I think that made me enjoy the movie as it was without basing my opinion on other things.. I gotta say the movie was very enjoyable and funny, the cast acting was great especially the kid Cole, I was amazed of his acting skills.. Regarding the directing it was also very good especially the last scene with Cole.. In the end, I recommend this movie if you're looking for fun only not some deep sh*t
Quirky. Had some good laughs. Definitely worth the watch.
not the best horror/comedy movie in the world, but definitely a great one!
cool directing, nice cast and crazy script lmao
This was way better than expected! Had a slow beginning but when it started, it really took off. Loved, loved, loved it!!!
I expected something totally different when I went in to this movie and it topped everything. This was hilarious. Comedy horror done right! Love the cast, they brought the fun, the kid is great. Netflix seems to rock this genre, great movie!
The best part of this movie is when it is self aware and says that this is just like groundhog day.
Okay, it's very complicated for me to rate or review this movie. This movie has very many flaws. It's not a 'i-want-to-be-loved-by-anyone'- Movie. But I like it and its over-the-top ideas a lot.
If i had to make a Pro-Con-List, the Con Part would be large. The good ideas safes it. A what the hell...here is my Pro-Con-List:
++ Keanu Reeves often fits the tough Guy Attitude (Even if he is not that Jason Statham-Type)
++ Rachel Weisz, Constantines Friends, Tilda Swinton and even LaBeouf are good
++ The Ending + Showdown - This is one of my Favorite Movie Endings. Badas as f**k
-- Too often you think the Director and his Writers were saying: 'Yeah, that's ok. But(!) what if we make it 10 Times bigger ?". They want top at far too often.
-- Script, Story, Plotholes. Way to often they do the same thing to make a "cool looking scene".
Okay the Con list is not that big, but i don't want to spoil anything.
8/10
I must sound dumb by saying this, but why this movie haven't at least an indication of an Oscar? It's such an amazing movie with such great characters!
Keanu Reeves played John very well, Gabriel impressed me with his insanity, Rachel Weisz was perfect as always and Lucifer was SO scary and funny. I loved him.
This is one of my favorite movies. Definitely.
Great movie. A little bit of a slow burn but the payoff is definitely worth it. Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner are both fantastic. Taylor Sheridan has another winning script with this one. That makes him 3/3 with Hell or High Water and Sicario being the other 2. I can't wait to see what he does next.
Cool as hell. Whitaker is quite the coolheaded badass as he drifts through contract killings, adhering to his code. The film is full of quirky, interesting characters, a great score, some really funny moments, and style to spare.
Great debut from Macon Blair! The film is fun, quirky and sometimes even a bit dark and bloody,but never exaggerated. Worth your time.
I definitely thought this movie was going to be cheesy at first, but it turned out to be very funny. I thought a lot of the jokes in the movie flowed very smoothly and made it seem natural rather than being made to seem like the actors are trying to be funny. I would not mind seeing this again in theatres.
Brilliant and engaging. Much better than many movies that spend millions of dollars on especial effects.
Adam Sandler was really great in this. Its a different movie and not for everyone.
This is a smart, funny and very entertaining movie with a killer soundtrack. The soundtrack has a little bit of everything and is choreographed perfectly into the action. Ansel Elgort is great and so are Kevin Spacey and Jon Hamm.
EDIT: Saw it again and it is still just as great.
scary. real horror. good story. but end is little bit stupid for me sorry not sorry 7 stars.
It wasn't the best movie ever but it did keep me in suspense all throughout the movie so I'll give it props for that.
As a lot of other people have mentioned there's a lot missing. Why Diana is doing what she is doing is not really explained at all, which is a big problem.
The acting was pretty good though.
I did enjoy the original short film but the way it turned out as a full lengh movie did not quite reach my expectations.
By no means a bad movie though.
Could be better, nice movie to watch if you're bored. It's not really scary, but still manages to keep you on the edge somehow.
A very unique twist on a classic horror movie. Unusual plot line but serves a good basis for a story. Worth a watch for horror fans.
It is a fantastic premise on which to build the scares and the opening scenes and early moments show that all too well. It is a shame then that the framing story is nonsensical and the connection to the family being terrorised poorly developed - the film would have been far better leaving its villain a mysterious threat. It doesn't help that the ground rules and internal logic laid out by the film is often circumvented to fit the needs of the story and the effective and creepy opening setup devolves into standard fare by the final act. It's no surprise to discover this was based on a short - perhaps thats how it should have remained.
I love love loved this. I knew a good bit of the plot going in so thought there wouldn't be much left but there is.
Great performances from all and especially Anne!
I had previously seen Timecrimes and loved it, then I saw Open Windows and thought it was ok so I went in thinking this would be another dip and it wasn't.
Truly a beautiful story told in a very interesting and emotional way. The success of one of the greatest hero\brand in the world contrast with the story of his recently "discovered" cocreator. Bill Finger's credits is not just a win for his family or his legacy, is a win for what is right and what is fair, after all, isn't that what Batman is all about?
This was a really sweet, cute, and funny movie. Also Zach Galifianakis voicing the Joker > Jared Leto acting as the Joker.
Thanks to inspired creature effects, strong performances and a perfect balance between laughs and scares, Krampus deserves to become a perennial Christmas horror classic.
It seems like two movies combined. One about this guy having to recover his missing pets and another about solving the mystery of what's causing chaos in New York. The two aren't particularly connected.
The result it's a fun a wonderfully magical movie that feels a little bit empty the more you think about it. I wished it was actually about Newt traveling the world discovering creatures; instead, he tells amazing stories about his travels that we never get to see.
I was really looking forward to this movie but was utterly disappointed. The story was just flat and didn't really connect well. At least there were a few funny moments and the soundtrack as well as effects were great. The actors were not that good and most of the story was predictable – so no surprises as with the original Harry Potter franchise.
