THE LOST FOOTAGE OF LEAH SULLIVAN 2018

One of those movies that starts out okay but the ending is too dark to figure out what happened.

Other than that not bad.

Nobody

Basically John Wick all over again but Bob Odenkirk really killed it and gave a much more charismatic performance than Keanu. Lots of fun with some great splatter and violence.

Separation 7/10

You know it's a potentially good horror movie when

1. It has actors such as Brian Cox in it, which could suggest the general acting is quite good. And it is.

2. When the movie doesn't really contains a bad guy. Sure the mom was kind of a bitch and her dad kind of an asshole. But they all really just wanted what was best for the child. But of course you're still rooting for the loser dad.

3. There's actually an interesting story wrapped around the horror. It's not about annoying teens running around getting killed. That's a thing I've never understood in many horror movies. A group of teens with awful chemistry that goes to a cabin and half of them can't stand each other. Who would ever go on a trip with people they don't like?? Sorry... just needed to get that outa my old system.

Back to "Separation". The bad part. Except for the first 10 seconds of the first scare, which was pretty creepy, the horror was the weak part of the movie. No.. the weakest part was the lame twist at the end. Still worth seeing for the overall story and the performances.


Things Heard and Seen 5/10

You know it's a potentially good horror movie when

1. It has actors such as F. Murray Abraham in it, which could suggest the general acting is quite good. And it is.

The rest wasn't good.

THE BLACKWELL GHOST 1 2017

A filmmaker trying to authenticate hauntings agrees to stay in a haunted house while the owner is away on business.

Creepy at times, watchable.

Wrong Turn (2021) 6-7/10

Gotta admit, I didn't hate it.

I don't understand why they decided to call it Wrong Turn as it clearly isn't a remake. They should just haved called it "The Foundation".


The Resort 4/10

I got the impression that due to the Covid the director got the opportunity to film on a beautiful abandoned location. So he quickly slapped a garbage story together and added even worse dialogue and then took off with the crew to the resort. The movie is only saved a little bit at the last 10 minutes, which had a few alright effects. Up untill then it was just a group of 4 people exploring an island and its abandoned hotel. The soundtrack certainly didn't help as it sounded like it was stolen from a boring action/adventure flick, which did absolutely nothing to create tension or creepy atmosphere. Then it gets to the last 20-30 minutes and the director suddendly remember he's making a horror movie and changes the soundtrack. ::roll eyes::

Happily 5/10
