V/H/S/99 (2022)
Great ideas, but with a rushed and weak execution
I've been a fan of the V/H/S series since the first, and I thought that "Deadstream," by some of the same team, was fantastic. . They've had some segments that were better than others, of course and, unfortunately, this entry i the series might be the weakest.
I read on IMDB that this installment of the series was rushed into production, and it shows. Each segment seems to start with a clever idea, great story building, and then the twist or resolution will be abrupt and unsurprising.
Given what this team has done in the past, I feel like that they could have done something really cool if they'd taken more time and had the chance to really hammer out some solid stories. I hope, if they continue the series, that they're able to give it the time it deserves.
Spiderhead (2022)
Nothing surprising or unexpected.
The performances from the cast were excellent, and the chemistry between Miles Teller and Chris Hemsworth is solid.
But, having read the original story, the movie extends the story without adding anything terribly new. We get more background on the characters, but, there's nothing in that background that makes the characters more interesting. There are several moments that are treated as enormous revelations, but just aren't surprising or unexpected.
Overall, this was a disappointment.
