The Pact 2
Dull, nothing new to the series visually or experience wise. And maybe its just me, but it seems like the camera focuses on breasts so much that its very noticeable. The lead actress is mediocre, the boyfriend's acting is awful. Even Caity Lotz(star of the first) seemed to be making little effort. Haley Hudson(plays Stevie, the girl with the weird and sunken looking eyes) was great, but her character's 'strangeness' and ability to know paranormal stuff feels like she was just thrown in to be interesting. Like a random monster walking past saying to the main character 'oh, this is why stuff is happening to you' and then ambling on.
2/10
Vampires 2010 Belgian film
Easily described. This film is a precursor to, and probably influenced some way, What We Do in the Shadows and where that film is fun and funny this film is not. The characters actions, words, thoughts, etc seem inane to the theme. The dialogue insults the audience's intelligence, same for the humor. Its not 'low brow', but dull and tired. No great lines like "We're werewolves, not swearwolves!"
Couldn't finish it.
1/10
(Divergent) Insurgent 2015
I don't remember much about the first except that it was mildly entertaining. This was trite and too easily ended. I was able to finish it though. I'm sure there are a lot of comparisons between this and The Hunger Games series. I like the film adaptations of The Hunger Game series, but won't give it any money for various reasons. Where those films are well shot, well acted, and generally well written Insurgent feels like the script was edited by too many hands, some sort of cliche of hollywood film executives ruining it. I do not know if this occurred of course, but the film felt like it did.
4/10
