Grave of Fireflies

Honest and sad
A sad and sober story without much window dressing, instead focusing on these kids and their innocence, and heart shattering daily tasks of looking for shelter and food. I wasn't as destroyed by it as some viewers apparently were, but that's just because I have no emotions.Total Recall (2012)

A very decent sci-fi action thriller.
If you manage to NOT see this as a reboot, it's a fine sci-fi action flick with some great designs.My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell it to

Different and unpleasant, and definitely worthwhile.
There's something quite unsettling about seeing normal people processing heavy dead bodies, especially when the atmosphere and acting is natural and plain. The special 'patient' even manages to evoke feelings of sympathy.Under the skin

A pleasant mystery
The mystery of not quite getting what is going on really adds to suspense and intrigue and this stylish scifi. Low profile in an effective way, but the many long scenes can be a bit much at times.RockmeNow

Bit weird and unsettling, but nevertheless interesting and sensual
A must see for those interested in original alien movies, Scarlett Johansson, or both. Partially filmed with standard digital cameras, providing a successfull hidden camera experience. Visual effects from the eighties and creepy sounds throughout the movie provide the cherry on top.V/H/S aka VHS
A collection of stories, glued together by a horry story, involving various videorecordings of horrific events .Though not all on VHS it seems.

Loud noise but plenty to make up for it
The hard, restless cuts and loud music can be a bit much, but I did think they have a unique mood going on, there are enough memorable shock moments. And what really struck me was the natural and believable acting throughout, which made the entirely adolescent cast bearable for once.Pearl

Good combi of drama and horror
An atmospheric flick that is in no rush to reach the horror, but instead gives ample space to lead actress Mia, who caries this movie wonderfully from the beginning until the end.Serenity
In a divided universe, the crew of a rogue spacehip takes along a fugitive psychic girl who brings them great trouble but also truth

A little scifi gem
It's a bit campy and occasionally borderline B-movie-ish. But it never crosses that line, instead delivering many memorable and well done scifi moments, some great designs and humor that works.Sadness, The
Boy tries to find his grilfriend, as the town is overun by a virus that turns people into violent, sadistic, sex-hungry zombies

A painful but highly amusing take on the zombie genre
The gore is quite shocking, but it is a welcome take on zombies (although technically I don't think they are dead?). It worked for me - I was amused, appalled and quite into it. The ending features slower, deeper contemplations instead of a bloody grand finale; courageous if not a bit anticlimactic.Short Peace

Puts some full-length anime's to shame
While they are too short to really have an impact, I quiet enjoyed these original and beautifully drawn anime's. They are a big step up from the usual, similar looking and sounding anime stuff and I am ready for more!Kairo (Pulse)

Great mystery with some impressive ghost discomfort
The creepy ghosts and their interaction with of darkness and shadows is impressive, perhaps a masterclass in fear and discomfort in film. I didn't mind the unexplained, open ended nature of the story either, but the characters doing seemingly random 'stuff' was a bit off-putting.Movies found: 1048 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 241 - 250
