Animal 2014
6/10. Another run-o-the-mill monster-movie. I generally enjoy monster movies. As soon as the cliche group of young-adults arrive at their campsite, I get all excited and start guessing which one will be decapitated or die during sex. However, this one was nothing to write home about. Very derivative and boring. It felt like a hundred movies I've seen before and had no special quality at all. I will say, that the creature effects were not bad.
Among Friends 2012
5/10. I was pumped for this and sadly let down. "Scream Queen" Danielle Harris' director debut about a group of people attending an 80's theme murder-mystery dinner party that goes awry. I thought the concept was fantastic, but terribly executed. All of the great ideas were there and it had a LOT of potential.. but it just fell completely flat. And the ending! How terrible. I think maybe she was overwhelmed with deadlines and didn't know how to finish up the story or something. What a mess. I must give her some credit for the cool concept and the intriguing direction she was going.. but must also shake my head for the complete mess she made of something that could have been spectacular.
