The Stairs (2021)
Ridiculous and no explanation
They should have just stuck with a standard "monster chases people around in woods" story. It would have been worlds better. But no, they had to introduce huge plot lines about supernatural and sci-fi phenomena that were never resolved and had no explanation! There were not even hints or leads: they would just have something really supernatural happen, and then you never heard about it again and there was never an explanation! That is a dirty thing to do to your viewers. Terrible. Save your time and watch something else.
Lost Creek (2016)
Excellent, but for kids
This is an excellent movie, but it is also a kids' movie. It is most appropriate for kids about ages 7-12 or so. It is just scary enough, but not too scary. It has a great message, enough depth to make kids think about it, and is very emotional. I see why the adults here rate it low, but if you understand that it is made for kids, like little kids, then you will see that is really great. It is a perfect example of how a kids movie/story should be done. I write young Adult fiction, and I learned lots from this movie about how to construct a story for an even younger audience. I am in no way related to the making of this film.
An English Haunting (2020)
Excellent but confusing ending
Overall, this was a great film with great atmosphere and beautiful scenery and cinematography. However, it was confusing. I understood the gist of the "secret" of the mansion, but the ending, especially the last scene, made no sense and was not explained. Also, who was the father of "you know who"? I hate movies that are too confusing.
Claw (2021)
Pretty bad
I give it 4 stars for the good CGI and the good acting of the girl. The acting of all the other characters was really bad. The plot is non-existent. I mean, the preview tells you literally what it is about: two people get chased around by a raptor for an hour and half. No backstory, no drama, no complexity, and the attempts at humor were pretty bad. Sorry to the people who made it, as I know you put your heart into it, but I just did not find it to be a good movie (the girl's good acting aside).
Girl Next (2021)
Awful
This could have been a great film. The problem is that it tried way too hard to make itself look smart and psychedelic. It was like watching a freshman book report. The student thinks they are so clever and groundbreaking, but are actually amateurish. The acting was very good, however. I will give it that. And the concept was good. But it tried way too hard.
