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.The Temple
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.Color Out of Space
Things get weird and nasty when a meteor-like object and a mysterious color land in the garden of family living isolated in the woods.

A bit vague and improvised
It's somewhat ok, but I felt the horrors and scares were random and incoherent collection of things borrowed from other movies. As if every idea dropped was incorporated into this, no matter if it made sense. Consequently, it never gets really scary or intense and I was sort of glad when it was overResident Evil: damnation
A seperate side story of the franchice? I don't know what it is. Hero vs monster things

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?The Unholy
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.Carnage
Single location film about parents meeting up try to resolve a physical clash between their sons. All start polite and aim to resolve the matter....

Great idea didn't work
A brave and fascinating idea that, given the actors, should have been firework. If fails however, as their quarrels are too scripted, their behavior, flip-flop mood swings and intoxication feel unnatural and phoney. And then there's the bizarre overacting of a constantly trembling Jodie Foster.Carrie (2013)
Girl with telekenetic powers and a hideous religous freakmother is being bullied one time too many

Identical yet inferior to the original
Who ordered this? A really pointless remake that does everything exactly the same, except for in the eerie atmosphere and masterful cinematography of the original. The only thing new is that the kids now have mobile phones with YouTube. Breathtaking. Moretz is overacting badly too.Incantation
A woman is cursed of doing some ritual wrong. And she also adopts this daugther - I am not sure how it was related

Too messy
There are a couple of intense images, and the underlying vibe of strange and spooky rituals has potential. But the mockumentary approach was far-fetched and not doing it any favors, and the story and timeline are very confusing and jumpy. And honestly, I was kind of bored with it.Hercules
Hercules and his companions help out a king against an evil army, but has he been fighting on the right side? And is he really a demigod?

Superficial B movie, somebody wake me up afterwards please
I will not spend many words discussing this movie. So I leave it with this...Wittenberg

A bit boring
The large fights and mythical creatures should cater for some entertainment, but Hercules is a bit of a a B-movie dork, it never reaches anything deep, and frankly I was actually quite bored most of the time. They way they tease about Hercules' skills and origins was a nice find though.Windtalkers

Did not age well
I think it made an impression as a war movie in the day, but I fear it has aged poorly. The acting and dialogues can be quite corny, the emotional scenes induce cringe, and the action is almost laugable with the hero shooting from the hip and all bad guys instantly drop dead.Movies found: 1047 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 166 - 175
