Ghosts of War (2020)
This is what happens when the director doesn't know when to stop.
Really nice movie right up untill the end. It is a really good movie with ghosts that didn't really needed the ghosts in the final scenes. The actual reality and how certain things can affect a humans psihic is way more frightening then any made up ghosts or curse are. It had the perfect ending to an otherwise well made script if only they would have stopped like 2 mins earlier. Shame.
You Should Have Left (2020)
There is no reason to hate this movie.
Absolutely no reason for this movie to have such a low score, not a master piece but a good movie, with good setting and good acting. A well made plot and a nicely done twist, for those who hated the ending (sorry to say so) but they probably didn't get it. This is not a movie for people who enjoy artys fartys trendy/edgy statement(The other lamb and such) movies or for those who enjoy gore type, just a plain old psychological movie. Does it have predictable moments ? Yes, it does. Are they still enjoyable and well put togheter? Yes, they are. TBH after a week and a half of watching horror/thriller movies from 2019/2020 this was the only one that kept me engaged and guessing at times.
1BR (2019)
Not bad, good ending
Obviously low budget, but they did a good job with what they had. As long as you don't expect amazing effects or camera work, it's quite a nice flick. Nice acting from all of them, especially the main actress (who also resembles Natalie Dorman in some scenes). It doesn't drag out, so there really isn't any pointless scene,but there are scenes that will make you go WTF (in a good way). No use of excessive/unnecessary violence just for the sake of action. I quite enjoyed the ending.
Overall a nice flick that pretty much deliveres what it sets up in the beginning.
The Other Lamb (2019)
Pretentious BS!
Like most movies of this type it comes across as waaay to pretentious when it deliveres absolutely nothing. Brainwashed women lead by a man who more or less belives he is God's vessel. No horror, no thrill, no nothing just scenes with "hidden" meaning, there is no hidden anything, no development (except maybe the girl who starts questioning her life) real life stories of people who escaped such cults are more spine chilling then this was.
The only disturbing thing about this is that there will be people who will say this is some sort of masterpiece and you need 1000+ culture and IQ.
3 stars for the beautiful scenery and camera work.
I See You (2019)
Worth a watch, at least for the really well made soundtrack
I have just seen the movie, so these are the immediate impressions.
Good points:
- the sound effects and music are really really well done, it hooks you from the start and do not dissapoint throughout the movie;
- well made story overall;
- decent ending;
- no silly/unnecessary jump scares;
- it does leave you creeped out for a bit (again, credit to the sound producer and crew)
Bad points:
- I feel like they picked Helen Miren mostly because her name adds some weight to the movie, but her character and lines fall flat. In this role you can't see any difference between her and any other lesser known decent actress, there is pretty much no development or relevant back story to her character;
- The teen actors (except one, and if you watch the movie, you'll know who I'm talking about) aren't bad, yet again flat characters;
- Close to the end some decisions don't make much sense and feel forced and a bit rushed, also due those decisions the plot twist is given away to easily;
- the dragged out shoting/fighting scene (way to overused adds nothing "thrillery" wise;
- the movie ends a bit abruptly, I sort off see why, but they could have added just 2-3 more scenes with the aftermath.
Overall not a bad movie, it sets itself for more expectations then it delivers but it remains decent. Would have been a 5/6 without the soundtrack which adds so much to an otherwise okish script.
