How this went under my radar for so long I don't know, but worth the wait.
First and foremost, this movie is fucked. You will see things that are disturbing, not_necessarily_ gory, but disturbing nonetheless. Seriously, you've been warned.
That aside, this was a ride, one that had me tensing my legs and clenching my jaw until the inverted credits started to roll (hey, just figured out why they're inverted now that I'm typing this). Dillon is superb, in both his acting and more so his narration. Supporting cast also great, but Dillon really carries this one. His stoic and monotone demeanor are terrifying once you see what he's capable of.
Fast paced and fluid, The House That Jack Built has a lot of re-watch value. The cuts to archival footage are long enough to be interesting and short enough to not be tedious, giving you a brief reprieve (at times) from the last "incident" you viewed.
It's a dinner party. The set is a dinner party, at a house with no other houses. There are actors and dialogue.
The world created here with so little is admirable and the result is stunning.
One of those rare gems you can watch again and again and still pick up something new with every watch.
Highly recommended.
Great all around; acting, story, pace, atmosphere. Watching a 2nd time is as fun if not more than the 1st.
Superb.
The cast is superb; Rylance carries his role with such conviction and grace it's hard to believe he's acting. The rest of the cast also deliver stellar performances.
The story, the pacing, the backdrop, the music... all of it culminates together into a wonderful experience.
The Outfit aims for perfection and does not miss.
This is technically the 4th full length prank/stunt movie the Jackass crew released, a feat in itself.
But they're hilarious, and Jackass Forever may be their magnum opus.
However, if you're grossed out by the opening green monster scene, this isn't for you.
Great film. Mikkelsen and the rest of the cast are spot on. The film is not just about consumption, but about the risks you'll take to break free of the mundane life so many feel trapped in, and the consequences for breaking those shackles.
Well done. Debunking the most farfetched and dangerous lies in a compassionate way. Most episodes are less than 8 minutes.
The most fun, most 'Rated R' of Super Hero/Villian movies (way more than Brightburn). Cast was great.
First time I've seen John Cena in a movie and he was fantastic.
Can't say much else without spoilers.
Usually not a fan of the found footage, but they pull this off brilliantly with the film ramping up its chills and intensity every minute.
If you like Guy Ritchie films, you'll like this Guy Ritchie film.
Way better than I expected.
If you read the title then saw the picture of Vinnie Jones with a huge meat tenderizer on the cover and thought, Neat, you won't be disappointed.
It's a Clive Barker story, so that should say something, but more "Hellraiser" than "Nightbreed" as far as violence goes.
It's got a fair amount of gore. There's some human suffering, (but not much).
It's interesting, is paced pretty well, and has a good cast who all play their parts well.
I..., I..., I went in blind. Just finished. I'm speechless, but I don't know if for better or worse.
I thought the performances were good, the kids were fantastic (Roman, well done). Lily-Rose as well.
There's nothing I can say without spoilers other than if you're at the halfway mark and bored, you can safely end it.
Personally, I couldn't look away.
With an atmosphere of dread and isolation, the Void works even if only for its visual appeal and body horror.
A by the numbers, late 90's horror movie. At the very least, it's entertaining and well paced.
It's campy. It's tone is weird.
I still had fun.
Alita: Battle Angel is much better second time around.
Watched this on the advice of @FoundFlix. Interesting and tense, worth the watch (at least once).
Not much a story, but the acting is sound and there are much worse ways to spend 90 minutes.
As forgettable as every other Scream passed the first... not to say you won't enjoy it as much as you did the other Scream films.
The story even seems jaded with itself.
Without spoilers, we'll say the original players act more like coming out of "retirement" is a nuisance instead of what the viewer is supposed to interpret as a responsibility.
This portrayal of Michael is incredible. He really feels like this unstoppable force who is so consumed with murder, he can only focus on his current kill before getting bored and hunting the next.
The scene that starts with the drone... the way it ended... that's Michael Myers.
If it's 3AM and you're still wide awake looking for something to watch, try Cell.
You may have to watch it in sessions.
I tried... this movie started getting to me about halfway and stopped.
Good intro to horror movie for those who don't like horror but love disappointment.
Some epic deaths and good fun throughout, though I'm admittedly showing my age not understanding most of the social media and influence dialog.
Good horror and a learning experience.
This just fell flat, more like remembering a fuzzy nightmare than a complete story.
Great performances. Immersive atmosphere.
Unfortunately, there are so many missed opportunities that this film falls flat.
I gave it a second watch to be sure. It takes itself too seriously to be fun. It's way too off the wall to be serious. I can't say anything without spoilers.
Meh. Struggled to get through this, 3rd time I barely made it. It's OK. Too much teenage angst for me to get in to it.
The tempo was all over. The music was great, but way over the top, especially the first ~20 minutes of the film. You don't know what's happening, but you feel manic. I never rooted for any of the characters.
Fantastic acting with a great cast, but a rushed story and over the top editing made this fall flat.
