this movie made me a lesbian
Very similar to It Follows and The Ring. It builds tension quite well and gives you a well crafted jump scare once in a while. I found some parts pretty scary. The camera work in here is top notch and so is the transition between scenes. The psychological horror elements weren't anything new or impressive but still pretty enjoyable. The story got very predictable but I loved the third act it was a blast and some nice CGI/practical effects? I wanted more smiles in the movie it feels like there weren't that many but then again too much would ruin it too. One things for sure I was smiling whenever it happened on screen! Would have liked more explanation as to what the hell kind of entity that was and why it likes to smile so much... I'm willing to bet this is getting a sequel.
What a fun ride! You mix Gremlins, Pacific Rim and Power Rangers together and this is what you get. It uses a mix of practical effects and awful CGI but is guaranteed to make you laugh.
One of the best zombies flim in sometime. There is so much to learn in the movie. Humor, sad, happy and sorrow. No one would expect the movie to be so great. The fun dramatically increase as the movie goes.
Who would guess someone would be so scary as one finally turned in to into zombies. Humans are scary creatures. Selfishness among the same species. No good, no bad. Finally, the one who survives and live on are those who suffered the most.
Not a sequel, not a reboot, but a wonderful tribute to the franchise that we all fell in love with so many years ago.
While watching this I was in a constant state of what the fuck am I watching and why haven't I watch this sooner?
screw what the critics say this is a really good movie it has lots of action and is well paced and doesn't drag at all the story is a lot better than the last one it's a very entertaining film if your a fan of the movies like I am seeing "raiders of the lost ark" when I was a kid you won't be disappointed
If you liked the first one you'll like the 2nd one. I loved the first one and loved this one as well. I didn't go into this movie expecting some amazing story that would win some pointless Oscar. I went into it so I could see some over the top cheesy action, a man battling sharks, an octopus and other random stuff. I got every bit of that and more. Just grab your popcorn and sit back for the rode.
This is fucked up and I kinda loved it. It is surprisingly funny in a I'm a terrible human being way. Matt Dillon is great.
Seriously, are people watching a completely different movie than I am or is there something else to this movie that I am missing? It's not scary at all, it throws every (horror)movie cliche there is at the viewer making it extremely predictable and the story is just ridiculous as it stumbles towards a climax which simply isn't there. Just say the demon's name and that's it, it's gone. And the way they 'solve' the case is just too stupid. Put 2 tape recordings together and you get a coherent sentence... So let's just put 2 random sentences together and the case is solved!
How people can seriously give this movie a good rating and comment on how scary it was is beyond me.
A single room movie just talking should not be this good but it's amazing. The plot is engaging and the camera work is incredible.
A very good IJ movie, probably my third favorite after the first and third film. It feels like a full on IJ film, lots of action, a bit of humor, nice ending.
The only negative thing about it would be that some of the CGI was a bit iffy towards the end. However, it still worked and didn't bother me.
Would highly recommend :thumbsup:
Finally, a movie in the franchise that feels like the one they intended to make in college. Excellent sound. And it still maintained the humor throughout while amping up the effects, and the violence. Plenty of gore in this one. Definitely a thumbs up. I have to say, as much as #3 was tops for the humor, this one is tops for the creep factor. Great nod to the chainsaw.
"Saw II" is less exciting than its predecessor. But it is also a big step in the direction that the Saw films became known for in the end. Namely, a larger group of people is locked in some kind of escape room, which they can only leave if they survive a series of brutal traps. As always, an investigation plot runs in parallel, with the police trying to get to the killer. That all works pretty well here, too, as there are a few nice traps, and the typical Saw twist at the end also works. Tobin Bell is given some real time as John Kramer for the first time and does a good job. The rest of the cast is rather average, though. I also sometimes noticed that the script wasn't really meant for the series. All in all, the film is perhaps a little less gross than you'd expect from Saw. At the same time, director Darren Lynn Bousman doesn't quite manage to maintain the thrilling atmosphere of the first part. Overall, though, it's all still pretty solid.
The tune of the color, sound, framing & even dialog is so mesmerizing. But I don’t get it.
Masterfully terrifying. Not just a bunch of jump scares either. The entire atmosphere of this film truly makes your skin crawl.
Predictable plot, has some nicely done jumpscares. Saw it in the cinema but this would be better at night home alone instead of the snickering fools in the cinemaroom destroying any carefully built tension so my advice is to wait for the Blu-Ray.
I see you shiver with antici......................pation
The title seems to have a double meaning. Not only for the 'monster' of the film, but it is also one of those movies that gets under your skin. I can't stop thinking about it.
The film has very unique feel to it, an 80's vibe, a creepy unique premise and a constant feeling of unease, I can now see why this has been getting so much press throughout the horror scene.
A Must Watch!
It is full of outstanding performances by its losers and legitimate scream-out-loud scares. An instant modern horror classic.
so fucking creepy. i love how it ultimately was a story about the victims and the survivor. there was no part that looked into the grabber’s pov or reasoning, it was all the kids. the other victims were used in a truly heart wrenching way to show finn’s motive and strength and intelligence. also no part of it tried to justify the dad. it was clear he loved his kids, but even his apology at the end fell short to the connection between the siblings.
Definitely better than I anticipated.
The gore and special effects were amazing.
I think it's really easy to miss the point of this "horror" film. Keep an open mind to the end and look for the clues.
For me, the Babadook was a manifestation of the mother's grief. The ending feels really awkward unless you think about how people deal with grief. You don't "defeat" it but you manage it. And at any moment it might consume you all over again. The boy isn't allowed to feed it at the end because like grief it can't be completed processed as a child.
I loved the novel this film is based on - possibly my favourite of all King's works - and this closing chapter does his story justice. It's not perfect - it does tend to go from one setpiece to the next at too rapid a level - though as some of these setpieces come close to brilliance, this doesn't detract too much from the film. A genuine horror blockbuster with horror, comedy, and heart, this film will make you jump one second, laugh the next, and perhaps even shed a tear a moment later. An accomplished film, and it's just a pity that there is no Part 3 to look forward to. Will miss you losers!
I have no idea what I watched, But loved the every minute of it
I don't know why this movie is getting low reviews. The visuals are stunning. I love how "futuristic" it looked. Both visually and the technology used within. Some stuff i could see being possible in real life. that virtual market was an amazing concept.
Additionally, i thought the story kept a good steady pace with very few boring parts. Overall I'm pleased, will watch again.
Some of its meta qualities are good.
I think this does the whole requel, cynical reboot thing a little better than The Matrix Resurrections, mostly because it doesn’t attempt to trigger the nostalgia button at every turn.
But the new characters are boring, the acting and dialogue are really bad, it’s extremely predictable (you know 10 seconds ahead of time where and when Ghostface is going to appear, every single time. And you can pretty much guess who Ghostface is after everyone’s introduction scene), and the filmmaking is too basic and uninspired.
4/10
The one thing that is creepy to me is that, you can see "it" coming from afar so slowly but surely and knowing that no matter where u go "it" will find you. As the saying goes, "you can run but you can't hide".
