Haunting of the Queen Mary (2023)

I enjoyed it. It didn't always make sense. But I enjoyed it.

[7/10 · 21 September 2023]

I enjoyed myself while watching this movie. Visually and stylistically it was very fun. But the problem is that it really doesn't make much sense. People seem to do things just to do them. People seem to just know things without any reason or show of how they learned that information. Sometimes you may think that you must have missed something, so you rewind the movie to find that you in fact did not miss anything. Some scenes throw it back to the old school 80's and 90's where a character decides to just stop the flow of the movie to info dump a bunch of exposition. But the way it is all done makes it an honestly fun watch. It doesn't try to take itself too seriously. The music added a lot to the energy. They answered enough so that it did have a coherent main story. And overall, it was a very enjoyable watch. It would be a perfect movie to watch on a rainy October night while you eat a box of Taco Bell soft shelled tacos. And while that may sound super specific, that is the vibe this movie gives me.
