Amateur night at the movies
7 March 2020
How did the filmmakers raise money for this high school play quality time waster? Amateur night acting, a screenplay that completely ignores the actual people who spent 180 days on a Pennsylvania billboard in favor of endless shots of the radio station owner staring into space. All this and Eric Roberts. Forget it.

The Outsider (2020)
2/10
It will talk you to death, not scare you to death
3 March 2020
I'm on Episode 9 and so far not much has happened except for people sitting around talking about what might be going on in their area. Occasionally there's a glimpse of something evil afoot but it's very occasionally. I am finding series both boring and frustrating. Like many of Stephen King's novels, this series needed a tighter edit.

PS-Finally finished the series and there's 10 hours I will never get back. Have no idea why anyone would give this waste of tine 9 or 10 stars. It is dull, ponderous and in the end, just a confused mess. How this even got made is a mystery. Skip it.

The Hallow (2015)
9/10
It'll scare ya
2 March 2020
I don't have much patience with al the 'film buffy' reviews if films like this, you know, does it offer any big ideas?' Wh cares...it's a horror film and a damn frightening one. For my money it's this small Irish film is a lot more effective than overpraised movies like Heredity and Us. An arborist, his wife and infant move to a remote house in a heavily wooded area so he can assess the forest for the loggers soon to come. Big mistaje

Wha?! This is a complete waste of your time

Seeing that some reviewers gave this stinker more than one star forces me to conclude that: 1. They confused it with another film 2. They are related to someone involved in the production. The film that I saw was boring, derivative, badly acted and without a single scare (or original idea). Some vague plot about a lunar eclipse, devil worship and bad pizza. Dee Wallace appears for about 4 minutes in the beginning and never returns. The main actors appear to be making up dialogue as they go along. Overall, just a complete mess. Tell you what..watch the first 15 minutes. Then imagine that nothing that comes after is any more frightening or interesting, because it isn't. Then, switch back to the home screen and find something good.
