Lucy’s Tale 2018 ★★★˝
I love how the first half makes it look like a low budget version, only to then pull a (gradual) swerve on you.
And there's a lovely pun in ... oh, I don't want to spoil anything. Just head over to youtube and check it out. The blinder, the better.
Grace 2009 ★★˝
While the idea is indeed promising, the execution leaves things to be desired.
The ending shows where things could have gone. However, it takes its sweet time to get really going and the meddling mother in law subplot was milked (no pun intended) a bit too much.
The teething line opens up possibilities for a subplot, but to use that line as a showstopper? Nah.
He’s Watching 2022 ★˝
Can you make a found footage(ish) film with an artsy feel to it? Yes.
Does it work? Not really.
On the upside: They have the brother sister banter down and a few creepy moments throughout the film. In fact, one or two of the better moments look like they could go on the home videos in Sinister. And we get a good looking villain (that we hardly see, but okay).
Those just drown in scenes that go nowhere and filmschool student what-the-fuckery.
