Strong beginning, medium remainders
I liked the beginning the best, as it is quite creepy and unnerving. After that, it looses this and switches to mystery/drama that I found less compelling but quite interesting nonetheless. I read about all sorts of double meanings you could attribute to this movie, but for me it is what it is.Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire

Pretty but lacking interesting characters or plot
On the face of it an impressive epic with neat designs and visuals, but most characters are very flat comicbook archetypes, the story was lacking and felt overfamiliar at places. I'll watch the sequels, but probably won't remember this at all when they arrive.Based on a True Story
A writer with writers' block and pending depression meets a new friend that helps her get through, but how deep can she interfere?

A fine psychological drama but nothing spectacular
This movie was quite a departure from my usual scifi and horror picks, but I have to say it kept my interest all the way. This is mainly because of the strong lead actresses, and a subtle anxiety woven through the story. But a little bit more spice would have been welcome for me.The Nun II

Good looking borefest with no story
Much like it's predecessor, there is no shortage of very moody and nicely lit scenes. Also like it's predecessor, there is a serious lack of a story to drive it along, instead it features just people moving extremely slowly from one jumpscare to the next. Remarkably boring.Dogtooth
A tale of adult children that may not leave their house and loving parents until they loose their dogtooth

nasty and cold, but quite interesting indeed
A cold and surreal affair, the kind that pulls of showing rather expliciet sex scenes without being arousing in the slightest, with peculiar acting and dialogues that alienate even further. I found it quite intriguing.The Wickerman
A detective travels to an island inhabited by a cult, to find his daughter

Creepy cult not really creepy
Sure enough, these secluded cults with weird rituals provide some creepiness and anxiety, but I felt that Cage seemed disjointed from it all (running around in a suite for some reason), and the cult almost leaned toward being goofy rather truly scary.Hippopotamus
With no memory, a girl awakens in a room with a man telling her she can't leave until she loves him

A fair puzzler missing class
Nothing wrong with these low budget movies in a single location, where you'll grow eager to find out how it all came to be. The story is also reasonably well thought out and offers some layers near the end. But I found both the actors and direction missing intensity and depth.Matriarch
After an overdose, a woman retreats to her mother and hometown. But there are strange things going on, and noone seems to have aged.

Nice small-town cosmic horror
A nicely done movie with some cosmic horror and mystery, a lovely 'something is off' vibe, good 'rural town' atmosphere and a lead actress who manages to gain sympathy despite playing quite a nasty person. A nice treat indeed.In the Earth
Two scientists go deep into the woods to find a lost colleague, where they face mystical natural phenomena

Could have used some more focus and excitement
I like it when things get sciency, and it goes well with natural presentation and some slow burning. But in this case, it can be a little too dull, and the story lacked a focus. It felt like it invented itself as it went on.Killers of the Flower Moon
A tribe of Indians, wealthy because of the oil on their land, is overcome by of a plague of murders

Oscar material and it knows it
A slew of triple A actors are seemingly competing for who has the most acting prowess, almost up to the point of overacting. The story is one of those 'little known story that needs to be told' affairs. Undoubtedly a good movie - but there is something very self conscious and Oscar hungry about it.Movies found: 1030 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 41 - 50
