Thoughts on In The Tall Grass

 In The Tall Grass is an interesting story from the minds of Joe Hill and Stephen King. The acting is good and the plot is interesting. It is certainly a creepy concept, to be lost in tall grass. It has moments of schlock but it is a fun movie that takes the time loop scenario in another direction. It’s worth checking out. 

Thoughts on False Positive

 False Positive is a very well-acted psychological thriller. The movie has a great build up. By the third act the movie has lept the rails. It is a mixed bag of great imagery, acting, and suspense mixed with a bizarre ending. It felt like a lot of themes could be compared to Rosemary’s Baby. But that movie had a satisfying conclusion.

Thoughts on Luca

 Luca is an adorable movie from Pixar. The characters are well-developed and sweet. The style is great and the setting is colorful and fun. Plus, the run-time is great for folks with little kids. Check it out if you enjoy Pixar’s quality films.

Thoughts on The Clovehitch Killer

 The Clovehitch Killer is a great horror movie. Dylan McDermott kills it. The story is told in a clever way. The acting is solid. The juxtaposition of the main character before and after this story is a bit of a downer. Still, it’s absolutely worth a watch.

Thoughts on The Apparition

 The Apparition is a dumb thriller. The dialogue is awful, the acting is dull, and the story is absurd. This movie is trash but the redeeming quality is that it is so bad that it is a bit entertaining. The editing choices are bizarre, and the ADR and poor line reads often come off awkward. There are occasional moments of decent effects to make it a bit interesting. The ending is a confused mess though.  It’s schlock, don’t go in with high expectations.

Thoughts on The New Mutants

 The New Mutants famously went through development hell. The movie is slow and a bit muddled. Some of the actors are trying hard given the bizarre material. I enjoyed the attempt at a thriller atmosphere. It was better than Dark Phoenix at least. 

Thoughts on Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight

Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight is a Polish horror movie. It has decent acting and an okay script. Some aspects come off a little silly in translation. It’s strange but fun. Not terribly scary but entertaining at the very least.

Thoughts on The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It

 The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It is a great movie to watchnon HBO Max. That being said I wouldn’t have enjoyed it at all had I paid to see it in theaters. It’s trite, dumb, and not very scary. There are a few creepy parts but it gets lost amongst the inane dialogue and telegraphed jump scares. It is nothing impressive but it will kill an hour or two.

Thoughts on Kingdom of the Spiders

 Kingdom of the Spiders is an entertaining bit of schlock. The characters are not particularly well written, but it is played seriously and the effects are pretty good. It is worth seeing if you can enjoy good schlock with a dark ending.
