A solid idea and movie, just wish some of it was more thought out

The muggy atmosphere is great, and so are the actors and the whole concept of the movie. It's just that when the time traveling starts it is a bit lazy - always teleporting to exact times and places where something relevant is happening, and of course mammoths to help us figure where we are.

Not bad, just not my thing.

I come across this style occasionally and it just doesn't sit well with me. You have these 'quirky' characters that scream 'don't take this seriously' and 'this is satire', yet it isn't particularly funny - let alone an exciting scifi thriller. So am left with nothing but an awesome 80s Poland vibe.

Depressing yet somehow good

The first part did resonated with me. The compassion you feel for the for the victim, and loathing for the violators, was painful but necessary. In the second part she seemed to enjoy the torture, and conscientiously using all of their earlier words against them felt gimmicky and out of character.

Delivers the goods but not the packaging

It proudly and unashamedly continues some of the most sadistic and brutal executions in town, contrasting starkly with the happy and joyful Christmas shenanigans. I did find that the story supporting it all was unable to take it to higher levels, making it an easily forgettable one time snack.

A pretty good mystery/horror wrapped in an ok mockumentary

The documentary does the job of setting up the mood for what's to come, but I was actually more impressed with the film itself: A good looking, tasteful horror that is open for interpretation, has two main characters that are engaging and affable, and there's tangible but subtle sense of dread.

Too made up

Some movies feel too much like a movie. They've got people that only exist in movies, doing things only people in movies do, in a story that only happens in movies. It can be hard to pinpoint how this effect occurs, but it did, and thereby took away much of the thrills.

A well made adventure with a slighty underpowered script

A movie with a remarkable grand feeling to it. Wide epic shots of the island, confident symphonic music, an expensive looking underwater scene and smooth direction. The story however, while interesting enough, struggles a bit to match the presentation. Still, a remarkable and original fairy tale.

An explosive idea that is a drag to get through

I've never struggled more with finishing a movie as much as this one. But something about the story was so promising, had such potential for satisfying mindfucks, that I kept trying. To no avail - the execution and characters remain dull, and the direction gutless that it feels it takes forever.

Very intense and well made

The movie covers this event only, which gives it incredible focus. The tension built up is strong, the tactics and events seem legit, and the seals are depicted as courageous and skilled, but not infallible with superpowers. Hats off.

A masterful story told masterfully

Watching two people, especially science people, walk and talk without caring for a moment whether the viewer understands what's going on, is strangely fascinating. And then watching it unfold into an insanely clever time travel flick that requires diagrams from Reddit to understand, even more so.

Conceptually sound but lost magic

The idea that a whole bunch of new wacky emotions fight it out behind the controls of her brain seemed like the perfect and logical next step, ensuring another great movie. But the sequel curse hits quite hard with this one, as it didn't really move or surprise me, I even was a bit bored at times.

More vile than pleasing

I watch quite a lot of very nasty movies, which apparently satisfies some kind of weird internal need. But occasionally such movies makes me feel bad and depressed in a wrong kind of way. This is one of them. The people and their acts are so despicable, that even the shotgun payback feels futile.

Some horror fun. Some.

With it's cartoonish characters and visuals, and with some effective gore, it is quite passable as a campy and mad horror comedy. But the script is so jumpy and allover the place, and the mood so inconsistent, that is hard to really get into it.

A dissapointing one

It takes a long time to get going, it contains too many characters (most of which seem pointless, and all of them flat). The humor is lacking, the finale lackluster and the Ray Parker track at the end only accentuates the magic that wasn't there.

A great idea that only partially comes through

The simple but enticing concept starts of good, then goes into rather uninspired poltergeist territory, and then turns to the deeper layers and meaning that I thought were fair but missed the impact needed to leave a truly lasting experience. My connection to the characters was also lacking.

Does pleny of things right

The strong points of these series would be that it is based around normal, fallible people, that it contains some beautiful haunting shots of the abandoned streets, and that the story features some exciting layers of scifi mystery. Near the end the scope kind of grew too big and lost it's touch.

Original and intriguing mystery, but should have been more intense

With limited bombast and money, this movie manages to be a quite intriguing title, with an increasing sense of discomfort. Still, I think it could have been a lot more scary and nailbiting, if the main character wasn't so unshaken and calculated about it all.

A one trick pony, but a great trick it is

I have to say, they really perfected the nerve wrecking built-up to the exorbitant death scenes, and having the victims starting to see and dodge the signs was a nice addition. Still, after a while it becomes gimmicky and worn out, and it becomes clear that there is not much else in here.

Deliciously out of this world

With her naive lines, revealing space apparel as she embarks on her space adventure through weird decors and campy characters, Barbarella is quite charming indeed. It's all quite irresistible as a curiosity. But it a deep, rewarding movie it is not (nor is is trying to be).

Some good ideas burried deep

I wonder how the same team that came up with the decent story like this, who even did something interesting with the theme of sound - although I am not quite sure what - managed to turn it into such a poor movie. The biggest problem are the wooden dialogues and actors delivering them.

Incomprehensible and slow

The fans are loosing their minds; this is the intelligent Starwars for intellectuals. It saved the franchise. And while I dig some of the unique element of these series, I still argue that this was slow, dragged out, awkward and completely incomprehensible for my nonintellectual brain.

Very average space horror cloaked in red and blue

The artistic color palette might have been ok, if I didn't feel it was the only thing keeping this movie just above B-level, or even worse: that is was essential for camouflaging very average set pieces. I am a sucker for space horror, but this barely satisfied.

Hits the right buttons for the fans only

I think the movie is to be commended for understanding the joys and highlights of Minecraft, and bringing it to live with vivid visuals and a no-nonsense, fun atmosphere. But in no way does it manage to go deep and be a touching and brilliant movie for adults too, like Kung Fu Panda did.

Pretty dumb

What was happening inside the gorge seemed somewhat interesting - I don't know it was so dark - but the rest of the movie, the love story and the whole premise, seemed pretty dumb to me. I didn't buy any of this nonsense nor did I care about the main characters - unrealistic and hollow stereotypes.

Pleasantly weird but not for it's entirety

A tale that shines with the uncomfortable yet intriguing weirdness and peculiar acting that director Yorgos Lanthimos is really good at. About halfway, when the story continues in the woods, it kind of lost it's touch and energy, it felt improvised and I can't remember what happened.

A movie that should have struck more chords than it did

Both elements of the story are quite touching, and combining the supernatural with real-life misery of puberty gave it an interesting spin. Yet somehow, the movie just remained floating in the air and I didn't know what to think of it. So maybe the message didn't quiet come across.

so-so

The first half was ok, but the second half turned out so-so. The people he meets are flat and bring nothing interesting to the story, and the story or explanation for the event move slow and didn't trickle my senses.

Intense viewing but not feeling

While it is a pretty potent thriller/horror with gore, intense footage and remarkable reveal story, I found myself surprisingly unaffected by it. I think it's due the unlikeliness of many scenes, and how it's inhabited by typical movie characters. A bit pointless even?

I am not sure it wants to be horror, but I wish it did

I appreciated the non-Hollywood characters, the passable science and the way the it portrays the quirks of running such a macabre experiment from a home. But considering what's going on, I certainly thought it ought to be way more creepy.

Bravo, they did it

It manages respect and stay close to the game it was based upon, while at the same time acknowledging the needs and different dynamics of live action, allowing the story and characters to breathe - sometimes with quite elaborate and daring side stories. Engrossing and touching.

A fair idea that only meanders a bit

The idea and scenery in itself should have been sufficient for a creepy and mysterious slow burner, but the girls are so drowsy, and the whole story seems a bit insecure, low-energy and incoherent, that it failed to really scare or entertain me.

Missed opportunites

Well these mines certainly provide a haunting location, and positioning it in historic times gave it a promising atmosphere too. Alas, it didn't hold up. The team was a rather unlikable bunch, the cartoon-esque scientist seemed in the wrong movie, the monster was wooden and over exposed.

Almost perfectly disastrous

This was pretty close to being the ultimate accumulation of bad ideas being badly executed into wildly entertaining pulp. But it misses the sweetspot, because it is too self aware and too pleased with itself. Still - keeping an eye out for future adventures of Babebezilla!

Erotic drama that feels like a thriller

I think this is the most intense erotic drama that I have ever seen. Not in softcore sense, but because of the excellent performances, the smooth direction and some scenes that had us nailed to our seats, and snacks coming to standstill in front of our faces, out of pure tension.

Not as traumatic

There is certainly enough here to warrant trauma. But the movie as a whole doesn't have what it takes to tie it all together, and in doing so the horror doesn't hit as it ought to. Acting is so-so, connection to the characters is limited and the story feels clumsy and amateuristic.

A bit tired

All the ingredients for the fans should be in there, but it failed to resonate with me. Her constant smirk started to look weird and overacted. My mind wandered of in some of the emotional scenes and there was a shortage of good jokes and vicarious embarrassment.

The title pretty much tells you what to expect

This mostly a group of people continuously discussing the nature of the threat and ways to deal with it, and I must say they gave their everything in producing a steady stream of mumbo jumbo - only occasionally interrupted by a CGI blob which is then deterred with painted NERF guns.

Very gory and nasty, but it kind of works

Nasty, uncomfortable and violent, with scenes you pray your fellow house residents don't walk into. For a while I feared it was going to be nothing more that that, but with the background story and personal demons of the killer, they even managed to create some depth to it.

Originally framed but incoherent

I liked the floating ghouls in the first story, and the way the stories connect through bystanders taking over the lead is nifty. Unfortunately the stories aren't that scary and lack coherence. I think it would have worked better if they all made more sense in relation to each other.

A unique idea with a confusing execution. Too bad.

The start is quite promising, and the overall atmosphere and setup is commendable. It's just that the two substories, that take up the majority of the running time, are so disconnected from the main story, that it becomes distracting and unclear what you're looking at.

Good fun if expectations are right

You might argue it is a little raunchy and tacky and you'd probably be right. I mean were are talking stuffed turkey as belly humor. But we had a good time and got quite a few laughs out of it.

A deliciously crazy idea that only partially remains standing

I am just so glad that ideas like this exist, and even better yet get turned into a movie. But is has trouble staying close to the magic and craziness of the premise, and instead evolves into a much less inspirational horror/monster flick. Still, thanks for doing this!

Funy and naughty

Although there was something predictable about it, this never really bothered me because the jokes, recognizable characters and embarrassing situations still work, and provide for a good dose of naughty humor with a bite.

Give it some thought

There is a constant tension in the air that is great, even if the behavior of the people involved feels a bit cumbersome and unnatural. In the end I found it a bit simplistic, and it was only after I read about this movie that I became aware of the deeper possible explanations I completely missed.

A suspenseful story lacking some suspense

There is something straightforward about the acting, storytelling and characters that give this movie an honest, non-sensationalist and realistic vibe. But considering what's at stake, the drawback is that it doesn't quite nail the suspense that the premise of this movie warrants.

Scores with novelty but not with involvement

It is to be applauded for the original viewpoint, and delivering a quite effective and entertaining movie with probably little resources. But I do think it could have been scarier and more captivating, and making the mother and son cold and dislikable did nothing but alienate me from this family.

An oddly flavored but hard hitting combination of horror and drama

The calm, soothing music makes this movie feel somewhat like a heartfelt drama that can be tough to watch, but is also touching in a way. But make no mistake. I accumulates in a finale that might leave a permanent mark.

A robot adventure that looks like it works, but doesn't really

It seems to check the necessary boxes: it looks good, has a simple but meaningful story, and loads of wacky robots. But something was missing. Perhaps some really smart robot jokes, characters that really touch you or a script that truly moves you. It's all a bit flat.

A strange, paralyzing horror/thriller

It's a bit hard to follow what the deal is with the groupie, but at the same time the movie locks you in with a sense of dread an anxiety. The nature of the atrocities adds to this, since they are not really shown but are constantly in the air and roam in your mind.

The strangeness is both a good and bad thing here

The characters are so cartoonish, and the story so over the top, that it can't be taken seriously - so all relevance must come from the metaphors and political commentary that undoubtedly are the real essence of this movie. For me, I am not sure that worked.

Unique indian horror fairytale

It starts strong and creepy, then flattens out a bit in the middle, and ends with some unique and magical scenes. All in all, a remarkable and striking fairy tale with some pretty scary stuff but not quite ending up as a full blown horror.

A stylish horror that makes the most of some great ideas

I'd agree that it was kind of slow at times, but for the most part I was rather impressed. The concept of the creature was terrifying. The scary scenes may have been scarce, but what was there gave me shivers I hadn't had for a while.. and I watch horror almost every weekend.

A great story brought with a very articial style

The story is irresistible, but the execution is not. Super flat and clean looking characters that play blatantly obvious and stereotypical roles in the group, artificial and pampering dialogues, and full of scenes with people and events that happen at exactly the right time.

scifi with plenty going for it

With some standout moments, some pleasing twists and an overall original take on some familiar scifi story, I thought this was quite entertaining indeed. With some more gore, depth and/or less young-adults, it could have been even better.

A solid chunk of eigthties' horror cheese

The first part I thought was a bit slow and lacked suspense, but it makes up for it with some pretty enjoyable gore, zombies, bad effects and 80s cheesiness that I somehow have grown to appreciate.

Good horror with a distinct personality

It has a lot going for it. The whole thing is rather creepy and uncomfortable, has some striking characters and unfolds a pretty tense story too. What's more, it has a distinct style and no cheap jumpscares. About halfway through It stalls a bit, but nothing too damaging.

Nice sober scifi/horror with meaning

It's quite a unique story, presented without any hysteria yet still keeping in interesting with a some horror, science fiction and deeper themes. It's a bit too sober and slow-ish to really knock you of your feet, but an interesting movie it is for sure.

I hope the games were better

After falling asleep during four attempts, then by having my phone close by to combat pure boredom, I can finally say that I made it through this. It is all very plastic, artificial, shallow, cold and unexciting.

A good but somehow slightly distant bio

All in all an impressive bio about an impressive person, clearly made with dedication and respect for Lee. Before the haunting last scenes though, I thought it was a bit slow to grab me by the throat. Perhaps because the character is a bit closed and cold, even though that may have been the case.

Fresh series with a unique atmosphere

The atmosphere and tech from the seventies are a great idea, and give these series a unique personality. Storywise it is pretty good too, keeping us curious and ready for more. All in all, good enough to forgive plenty of not so plausible plot points.

Just about interesting enough

The movie is quite sober and slow-moving, but it somehow fits the vibe of the cult, and the mystery surrounding the leader is enough to keep it interesting. That it not to say that there could have been more to it.

Part original, part not

The pool thing is quite refreshing (haha) and overall it's a worthwhile horror. It could have benefited from a more thought out story behind the curse, and the scares lacked creativity.

An interesting but vague scifi puzzler

There is something pleasant about the dreamy mood, relaxed flow and open storytelling. But at the same time this prevents the movie from making a real impact. I am having a hard time remembering it.

Minimalistic

Sometimes I think people underestimate how difficult it is to make an amusing shark movie But having four not so interesting characters sobbing and floating for an hour isn't the way. It's all very minimalistic and forgettable, especially the shark encounters.

Arty and violent revenge

The story is quite straightforward, but it works because there is a good mix of tension, some gore and some classy shots of the desert and people fighting for their life. It's a bit too shallow to deliver a gut punch though.

I think it failed to achieve what is was going for

I can totally see what they were going for: the different world of the night, shocking footage of crime and misery, a muggy atmosphere and erotic tension. While all of this things are here, they are a bit underdeveloped and lacking electricity. Making the journalist a weirdo was not helping.

A gripping drama with some perks that keep it from feeling like one

While the movie gains flair by adding some (mild) horror and comedy elements, it mostly is a drama about motherhood and broken dreams. Not something I'd normally put on, but I am glad I did. Adams is great, her boy Snowden remarkably good, and the whole thing just got me big time.

Perhaps a fair adaptation, but still unable to win me over

The story and execution are interesting enough. But as usual, I find it impossible to really care about the weirdly acting and one-dimensional characters and the drama they display. Oh I wish I could somehow see through this and truly enjoy the wondrous imagination of Manga.

Just about escapes mediocre torture

It starts of as a familiar but uncomfortable torture movie, which I am never quite sure how to rate. Luckily, halfway there is badass animation that lifts the movies' artistic flair, and the story also makes a turn trying to come up with a vague reason for the misery - but at least there is one.

Some possibly interesting ideas won't come to live

I'd really like to sympathize with this for some vaguely interesting concepts and, well, that they made this. But the story feels half-finished, and the movie is slow, clumsy and amateuristic. So much so that it gets in the way of enjoyment

Not so great

Well I guess someone had to try mixing space horror with comedy, but I found it terrible and it felt like a last resort when they realized this film wasn't going to fly. The continuous intercom conversations are weird and tiresome, the action hardly exciting and very 'only in movies'.

Sharp looking nonsense

The core idea is interesting enough, but unfortunately everything else is awful. The characters and acting is hideous, the story a mess. There was something interesting about the way it looked though. Not the design or FX itself, but the crisp colors and sharp lines stood out for some reason.

A decent scifi story lacking magic

It's a pretty cool story, and it feels like a passion project in which everyone did what they could with a limited budget. I just wish it had some more energy and sense of wonder in it - it's all a bit dull and lacking stand-out moments.

Fun with some kick

Rather than playing it save and becoming an average comedy, the jokes are saucy enough to give it some personality. Near the end I was afraid it was going to sink itself in morals and lessons of life, but that remains within acceptable range.

Nice

A really decent thriller with some mystery, interesting religious discussions and horror puzzles. using Grant was great casting; he didn't even need to really alter his style - his friendly demeanor combined with sinister undertones work great.

Who knew: Existentialism and softporn do mix

Even though it looks and sounds very porny, and looks like it was shot in 1970, it still manages to be a fairly interesting philosophical movie about being human. Remarkable.

Fake tough girls

I starts of pretty intense and serious, only to evolve into a rather average and unconvincing action movie. All of the characters feel forced and flat, and even my beloved Eva Green, with just a single grimace and zero emotions can't make her character comes live .

entertaining comedy-slasher

The goofy characters and their petty quarrels make this somewhat of a horror-comedy, even if some of the takedowns are fairly brutal. Quite entertaining indeed, but also quite shallow and volatile.

A good fix, but for how long

I guess it does a commendable job of bringing some new perspectives as well as delivering on the core material. But some fatigue kicked in with me as well; especially the dragged-out nature of everything, and the ultra clunky overacting and dialogues.

Heavy handed drama with insufficient payoff

I was hoping for some interesting footage or concepts about heaven, but this mostly a long, quite boring Christian medical drama. The heaven stuff does come up, but it's banal and unremarkable. There was one live lesson that stuck with me though, which is more than I can say about most movies!

You'll have to meta-watch it

You may enjoy this as Peter Jackson's first movie, for the practical and juice gore effects or just for the cheeky 'some guys with a camera made a movie' vibes. But I mostly found it a bit filthy in the wrong way, unfunny and was actually a bit bored at times.

A beautiful but not terrifying loveletter

The bleak 18th century surroundings, beautiful costumes, the miles thick and dark atmosphere make this an impressive movie, but also make it more of a dark fairytale than truly scary. Perhaps it is not trying or to be, but I am still awaiting the first truly scary vampire movie.

You can't fix a lacking story with art

Only at the very end the movie gains some momentum, and I actually liked the stop-motion scenes in there. But up until that point it is rather slow, vague and pleased with itself - so much so that the finale is unable to make up for it.

Close to 80s cheese, but not close enough

This got pretty close to the campy but highly entertaining 80s scifi bargain-bin material I have grown to like, but the endless scenes of people running around pointlessly through the same hallways, doing vague actions according to a vague script, ruined things a bit.

Familiar story without new inspiration

Something in the atmosphere feels off, the jokes tend to fall flat, it lacks a punchy script and dialogues. If you're going to do such a predictable story, at least make it good.

Amateuristic, repetitive and vague.

It's all painfully amateuristic, repetitive and vague. The misleading artwork must have been the last resort to have people watch this, which unfortunately did the trick for me.

Disaster that delivers

Some of the actions and motives of the people involved may be dubious, maybe even infuriating, but overall this delivered what a disaster movie should: tension, screaming at your television and a good time.

Not scary and out of fashion

Despite a few decent moments, my main impression was that it is very dated: the old mansion with vines and cobwebs, a pale lady, creepy dolls and stuffed animals, little ghost girls. Even the music sounded out of fashion. Perhaps it is an ode to those days, but then at least make it scary.

Decent but immature

It's quite original and has some some nice mystique and a pretty dense atmosphere. But it wasn't too scary, and the story felt a bit underdeveloped, like some ideas not fully formed into a well flowing script.

Great movie with a big heart

If you want to call it 'Wall-E in the woods' that's fine by me - it still is a great movie that made me laugh and even cry a bit, and the remarkable 'paint' style looks great. It has pleasant, sensible life themes that are well balanced and never overdone.

Forbidden pleasures

As uncomfortable as it sounds (and is), there is something exciting about peaking into this subculture. It's definitely a peculiar and pleasantly forbidden movie, but it would have been more involving if the characters themselves were at all impressed with their newly found fetish.

Series with epic grandeur but some distance

This show features plenty of interesting and well casted characters, some unique scifi designs and plenty some subplots that work well together. It's a bit cold and distant though, which may fit in the cold universe this is, but makes it less involving.

A dissapointing end of the trilogy

On itself it already was a rather meaningless movie that can only you make you shrug. But seeing this as a part of the trilogy with the remarkable Pearl and X, really makes you wonder how this ended up here and what they were thinking. Mink needs a better finale.

Remarkable and uncomfortable.

A gloomy and twisted movie that is not about sensationalism, but a more subtle sense of sickness and discomfort. It effectively uses some scifi and horror elements to create an interesting mix.

Chocolates were emtpy inside

I usually like these short stories, like a box of chocolates. But these were pointless, poorly acted, badly choreographed, bad looking and just utterly boring.

An orignal and tense story. Not great but perfectly fine.

While it never quite reaches the nailbiting, unbearable anxiety the premise ought to have, it still did a good job of keeping me hooked and involved. Extra points for originality. That guy though, twas just too damn pretty. Somehow I think it would have worked better if he looked like actual people.

A semi-found footage flick that's messy and fails to impress

The mysterious broadcasts were creepy, I wish they had stuck with that. Instead it was a pointless addition to an underdeveloped story that actually got a bit boring at times. That reporter guy out-acted everyone and therefore almost seemed in the wrong movie. Misleading artwork too.

Average entertainment with no surprises

A scfi monstermovie will probably always provide some solid entertainement, even if it can be pretty darn average. The monsters are unimpressive, the characters okay but flat or unlikable, the plot is predictable. Even the music was run of the mill. Decent, but leaves your mind immediately.

Great horror full of inspiration

I felt there might be some inconsistencies in the lore, and perhaps the script is even a little jumpy. But my my - what great and fibrant horror! Full of memorable scenes to give you the chills, not relying on lazy jumpscares. Fine performances and great sounds and music.

Extremely unclear and boring

Who knows - maybe in 10 years time this movie will have a cult following, pondering it's deeper meaning and misunderstood brilliance. But as it stands, I did not understand what was going on and was extremely bored by it - begging for it to end.
