Cool concept but terrible, terrible writing.
None of the characters behaves in a believable way, it all feels staged (you know those lines that just happen in movies but just don't feel right in real life? Like "there's no time to explain, just follow me" or "we've got company"), even at the beginning at the resort, before the supernatural part kicks in, like a series of scenes almost unrelated one to the other and patched together, each with the precise purpose to stimulate a feeling in the audience or to get the plot ahead. Characters falling as flies like in predictable horror movies.
Some unexplicable sloppy screenplay moments:
The ending was the best and more naturally progressing part of the movie
Why do we need another suicide squad movie?
This is one hour and 20 minutes of people screaming eachother's names while running around in a field of tall grass.
Literally. Nothing else.
Assuming that this is intentionally meant to be camp is doing it a service it doesn’t deserve, I think.
Yes, there’s goofy and trashy stuff in it, but they play it mostly straight with the presentation, i.e. most of this feels like it’s trying to be an actual movie. It’s not as over the top and entertaining as it needed to be, like it’s certainly no Malignant or Drag me to Hell.
Instead, it’s one of the dullest experiences I’ve had in a long time.
All of the actors are instant razzie frontrunners (especially Allison Williams, holy shit what a trainwreck of a performance) and the writing constantly veers between human dialogue as interpreted by aliens (or M Night Shyamalan), and unintentionally (yes, unintentionally) funny garbage. I know it’s unintentional, because the intentional jokes that are worked into the script aren’t funny at all.
The story is of course laughable and completely predictable. So many unnecessary, boring scenes, as well as quick bits that are clearly aimed to just be memes on TikTok. Even the crazy stuff felt fairly restrained to me, it’s not nearly bonkers enough to become entertaining. For example, don’t go into this expecting more of the dance sequence, because all of the best bits are in the trailer.
Finally, the filmmaking and visual style are instantly forgettable. Not a single interesting shot or artistic choice in the whole thing.
In short, nothing fun or clever about it, just very typical January horror kitsch that was probably only greenlit as a tax write-off for Jason Blum.
1.5/10
Like lego toilet paper, Old is pretty clunky and rubbed me all the wrong ways.
From the point of view of someone who probably likes M. Night Shyamalan a tad more than most people, I find Old to be one of his weakest efforts.
The predictable script (surprisingly so, for Shyamalan) relies too heavily on the graphic novel (I really, really hope having characters state their names and jobs outright wasn't a device he thought of himself), looks cheap and, tbh, is poorly directed. Shyamalan's stubborn refusal to show us any of the action (try too hard for a PG-13 much?) ends up being more annoying than intriguing.
This combined with some dubious acting in lead roles (not Thomasin McKenzie, Alex Wolff, Abby Lee Kershaw, or Rufus Sewell who all turn in strong performances) make Old weak, fragile, and tired.
Too much social commentary, not enough horror (or suspense). Easily the least impressive Peele production.
There is no point in turning a story that already had racial components into a silly representation of BLM. Candyman killed to avoid being forgotten, but now kills for racial revenge, which simplifies the depth of the proposal. Nia Dacosta's forceful directing and Robert Aiki's extraordinary electroacoustic soundtrack elevate the quality of a film that sacrifices the horror in favor of a simplistic racial view.
What a disappointing end to the Halloween reboot trilogy. Halloween Kills was so unbelievably good that I was excited to see what's next, it turns out that this film is vastly different. I'm aware that the filmmakers wanted to try different approach with this final entry but I wasn't expecting this messy. It's more of a drama, villain origin story, dark romance with some slashing. Definitely not an easy task to pull this off, but you can clearly see the struggle. The focus shifts on this new kid's descent into darkness which largely feels underdeveloped and hollow, with some super corny romance thrown in, cornier than people chanting 'evil dies tonight'. I find it super weird and get so frustrated because of how the kid got the main focus when this film is supposed to finish Laurie and Michael story which started a long time ago. Also, the romance part feels forced, downright cringy and unnecessary. Like seriously, who thought that it was a good idea?! The slashing is brutal and fun, at least, although you won't see the incredibly menacing Michael Myers like in the previous film. It honestly makes me appreciate Halloween Kills more since that one is the most 'slasher' out of 3.
A mix between babadook and it follows, horrific, makes you doubt everything. I liked it ! The shots were pretty cool too
Charlie day as Luigi and Jack black as bowser. Suddenly this is one of my most anticipated films of the year.
The tone of this movie is all over the place; it is an absurdist collage of genres that never capitalises on any single one to great effect. It's both fantastically shot while being absolute drivel, it's a complete whiplash in quality from one facet to the next. Not once was I sure what type of response this movie was trying to illicit from me. Was I supposed to laugh at the absurdity of it all? Enjoy the annoyingly well shot action sequences? Be scared by the slow building horror scenes? Chuckling from the poor acting and terrible script work?
Either James was shooting to make The Room of horror movies as his return to the genre, or something here went horribly wrong. Or it'll become a cult classic because of how stupid it is. What a wild ride, and sadly not one I can say I enjoyed. The Saw references were a nice touch though.
I long for the days where cgi was only used when it was really needed. Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Not as good as the first one but still enjoyable. Pennywise still is super creepy and Bill Skarsgård plays him perfectly. Bill Hader steals the show, everyone else is fine. This felt a little too long and clunky. There was some cool back and forth between the adults and kids but it kinda got old after a while. It could of done with a tighter story.
Not the best film but a really nice ending to a series Kevin smith clearly cared a lot about. Stay for the credits to listen to him talk a little about the film, it was very wholesome.
As bad as me with a toolbox and electronics, this robot movie isn't very inventive.
Wes Craven did it first and worst with Deadly Friend in back in 86, but this iteration of killer-doll horror has all the imagination of a Raggedy Ann. It feels like it was made only for the marketing campaign, even if the team certainly struggled to find 3 minutes of trailer-worthy footage.
Channing Tatum has officially reached that stage of his career.
I was waiting for the robot to say "number 5 is alive"
The movie wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. It was way too long at 2 hrs 11 minutes and really should have been 45 minutes shorter. There were lots of useless scenes meant to add drama, but only added to the cringe level. The acting wasn't bad for what the movie is... I think it's worth the watch if nothing else is around
Kevin Smith has got the gang back together for Clerks 3, but unfortunately it’s current era Kevin Smith that has seemingly forgotten how to make comedy. There are some glimmers here and there but Smith not only undercuts his own humor with bizarre wackiness but he does the same with his serious dramatic moments. The moments that feel special are when we step back into some of the scenes from the original with the original players, but that might be a testament to how good the original Clerks is and a sad reminder of how far things have fallen.
If anyone is an O negative please contact me I am losing blood fast.
This movie could’ve been so great but it had a terrible script & poor execution. Visuals were about the only good thing in this movie. So many things unexplained. Rushed ending. And not enough character development.
If you got 90 mins to waste & nothing better going on in your life, watch it. Otherwise move on, you’re not missing anything great.
What a complete waist of time this is a terrible movie very bad acting there are veteran actors like Bruce Willis and Thomas Jane in this who act like complete amateurs. The story sucks the effects suck the so called aliens act more like zombies. This is definitely on the list of one of the worst movies of the year if not ever made. Bruce Willis and Thomas jane need to be more selective on the roles they choose next time. DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME ON THIS PIECE OF :poop::poop::poop::poop: it is boring and not at all entertaining.
what..... a waste .... of my precious time ...
Imagine a time travel movie where nothing happens.
Now you don't need to watch this. You're welcome.
For the amount of moments that the main characters are just reciting exposition at each other you're better off reading the script. That at least will save you from watching this obvious cash-in on the 'success' of RIPD. Only the lore (roughly) stays the same between this and the old movie. Other important elements, like humor and a flowing plotline, have been lost. There is no reason I could find to watch this movie. Highly skippable.
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.
All I can really say is... What a fucking mess. This movie didn't know what it wanted to be and it showed.
It is a bad movie. I do not think you will keep your attention at the scenes even Willis is in it. The CGI, plot, everything is lame.
A complete snorefest and a disgrace to the V/H/S series. I only gave it one extra point for the coffin story, but even then, it's only for the first half. Otherwise, it's a disappointment through and through.
Definitely, the worst in the series. There was no need to make this too many years later.
