Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie
I think it's about cyborg major leading a team to resolve the assassination of the prime minister

Too complicated, not enough magic
It kept some of the magic of the original, but what it kept mostly is endless incomprehensible techno/politics that I could not stay focused on. It's not bad looking, but most of the art of the first movie is no longer here.Phoenix incident, The
You know those 4 skatedude guys who went missing in Arizona? It was aliens man!

Too shaky
Hurah! It's not just found footage; it's loud, noisy and restless shaky footage too. Which makes this mockumentary, shoving a conspiracy down our throat, rather tiresome and lame.Cellar, The
Family buys old house with an evil attic. I mean cellar.

A museum of horror cliches
There were some ideas that could potentially make this horror stand on it's own feet, and a handful of moments I liked. But for the vast majority of time this is smothered and glued together by a plethora of horrormovie cliches, as if they were checking them on a mandatory list.Grudge, The
Woman takes home a curse from Japan, spelling doom for everyone that enters her house. A police officer investigates.

A well-made but boring jumpscare horror with zero new ideas
On the face of it, this looks and feels like a decent quality horror with fine actors too. Unfortunately, it has absolutely nothing else to offer but consecutive tired jump-scares with loud noises that you see coming from a mile away - and which get boring pretty quickly.Nun, The
A horrorstory based around the creepy nun from The Conjuring 2

Relies on scary nuns in alleys, not on a good story
While the dark abbey and nun figure do look terrifying, it soon becomes evident that this simply a stack of people slowly walking through creepy corridors and slowly turning their heads towards the next jumpscare. The story or built-up is seriously lacking and it started to bore me.Kill Command
Future space marines go train against robots in the woods, but then the robots start to become agressive beyond the program.

Nice robots though
Some guys were quite adept at making some good scifi designs and robotics, but not at making a movie around it. The combat lacks tension, performances are underwhelming, there's a lot or repetition and I fell asleep twice.Temple, The
Three people travel to a mysterious desolate temple in Japan where strange events have been reported

They forgot to write it
I quite liked the beginning with moody Japanese scenery and mystery. But as they approach the temple, it looks like they had no more ideas so they just threw in some random, incoherent bland scary stuff and were done with it. Very unsatisfying.Risen
Meteors crash on earth causing death among the nearby inhabitants. An xeno-astro-expert is called in to help.

Good setup undone by some unfortunate desicions
The setup is similar to "The Arrival", which is a good thing. The first half is also decent enough. But to make the expert such a depressed, lifeless character doesn't do any favors to the already slow-ish movie, and the plot twist is smothered in overblown flashbacks. Some poor CGI at places, too.Resident Evil: damnation
A seperate side story of the franchice? I don't know what it is. Hero vs monster things
Wittenberg

Somewhat cool, mostly hollow and pointless
It probably looked awesome when it was released. Today it looks okay, and has some reasonably intense Resident Evil abominations running around. But I couldn't care less about the lifeless hero dork, or the vague story that came from nowhere and went nowhere. Not even sure what this is?Unholy, The
Fallen journalist accidently stumbles across a woman performing holy miracles in a small town, but how benevolent is she?

Fair story just not exectuted well
The story used as a framework is decent enough, but unfortunately didn't quite take off. Everything is a bit uninspired and doesn't seem to connect well (man dies under a burning cross, everyone just goes to the next scene). So we're left with some lackluster scare jumps and unscary horror.Movies found: 1050 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 161 - 170
