- ReviewedMonkey Shinesvor 3 TagenA very Crichton-y story and for the first half is does a really nice job. Some of the characters devolve into caricature as the film goes on, but the setup is particularly strong. It is someone interesting to see some exceptional actors in early, less meaty, roles. Looking at you Tucci and Root. Beghe, on the other hand, has a lot to work with here and I've always found him to be a very under appreciated actor. This movie falls apart without a convincing performance from him and he nails it. Overall, it is generally well done. The plot could have felt a bit silly, but using the lead's condition as a way to even the playing field makes it work. It does devolve a bit in the second half as the action ramps up and frankly it does drag a bit as a result. Still, an enjoyable film with some very positive aspects. And something very different from Romero.
- ReviewedResident Evilvor 3 TagenI continue to be amazed that the guy from WKUK is this good at making movies. Look, this is the weakest of his three horror features and it is still an excellent movie. In comparison with Weapons and Barbarian, it is significantly more straight forward in terms of plot. That said, it does a really nice job of following the video game model of jumping from scene to scene, living in that location, and then moving on. There are a lot of nice video game nods and a few very funny moments, but movie doesn't get lost in the humor as it is, fist and foremost, a horror/adventure. One thing this movie does that kills a lot of game adaptions is it dances around the boss fights. The "boss" is alluded to, seen, and acknowledged, but never directly addressed because very rarely does a boss fight translate well to a film experience in a movie like this. I'll also mention that Abrams does a fantastic job of carrying the load as Bryan.
- ReviewedHellboyvor 3 TagenOne of the best pre-MCU superhero movies, really elevated by Del Toro and his unique style. The cast is absolutely spot on and Perlman in the lead is iconic. That's the good. The... less good is plot, which is a bit paint-by-numbers, and the villains, who are somewhat cartoonish. That said, as with any introduction movie in the genre, it is more about meeting the heroes and awhating them do "a thing" than what that "thing" actually is. In this case the "thing" does drive character development somewhat, so it is serviceable in that regard. All-in-all, a very enjoyable and borderline classic movie of the genre. It holds up a lot better then many of its contemporaries.
- ReviewedThe Wrong Girlsvor 5 TagenOverall, the movie is okay. There are some high points and humorous parts. The overall story is okay and the actors do a reasonable job, although I wouldn't call it one of Stewart's better outings. I have two main problems. For one, there are several plot holes and spots where decision-making is highly suspect. But my main issue is a disdain for a plot where your leads continuously do very stupid things and yet everything keeps working out for them. That just irks me.
- ReviewedGoosebumpsvor 6 TagenA charming family fantasy with a splash of horror. Minette, Rush, and Black did a very nice job. The movie doesn't work without those three. Some of the secondary actors were grating, though. The story was fun. The effects were good. They weren't incredible, but they very much fit the tone of the movie. It isn't an incredible movie, but it very much succeeds at what it tries to do.
- Reviewed[REC] 3: Genesis31. Oktober 2026Look, this is easily the worst of the four [REC] movies. It also gets a lot of venom. That said, it isn't a bad film. If this was a stand alone film, it would be a perfectly serviceable zombie flick. It's a novel setting, several of the characters are fun. There aren't any gaping holes and some fun plot points. It isn’t a classic, it doesn't break new ground, but it is watchable and enjoyable as a stand alone film.
- ReviewedHellraiser28. Oktober 2026As a Barker buff, I adore this film. At the time it was completely unique in style and tone. It isn't perfect. Barker's direction, and sometimes dialogue, show the efforts of a novice filmmaker, but for an 80s horror movie it was light-years beyond its contemporaries Robinson does a great job, and Bradley is iconic as Pinhead. Laurence's Kirstie was a bit grating, but not terrible. It is such a pity the the series started to devolve as badly as it did. Barker builds a fascinating mythology here and it would have been entertaining to see it evolve had he stayed at the helm.
- ReviewedWerewolves Within25. Oktober 2026A very effective video game adaption. There is a lot of fun with a strong cast of comedic actors. However, it is much more of a paranoia thriller played as a comedy. Never laugh out loud funny or ever fully delving into thriller territory, it performs and effective tightrope walk. Richardson is solid in the lead, but Vayntrub's charm really shines. To be honest, it surprises me that she hasn't become more prominent.
- ReviewedReady or Not 2: Here I Come25. Oktober 2026I like about 80% of this film. My gripe is Kathryn Newton. I've seen her play this same character in multiple movies and it is always the weakest part. She is a talented actress, but the petulant sister/daughter/teammate just eats away at her excellent earlier work good will. I was particularly entertained by Elijah Wood. His role is a challenging line to tow and he is excellent!
