The Bewailing (2021)
You ever watch a film that makes you want to scream?<@ the painful time wasted watching it!>
Holy freaking HELL, this movie dragged on, & on, and made me mad. I saw Dee Wallace was in it, & I figured it was worth a look. The other cast members made me want to punch something or scream into my stuffed teddy bear(no bugs). If I heard "she's not ready" one more time, I think I would lose my mind. It wasn't scary. It was extremely LONG, annoying, having bad actors, and gross.
Made me wonder if the director himself was on heavy medication! Was about as enjoyable as getting a tooth filled. Was great make up done on Mommy near the end, with the egg sacks, but, that's all the kudos I'll give.
Barricade (2012)
I am confused as hell..!
I was excited to see an Eric McCormack "non-Will & Grace" flick, + - a scary/thriller, way out in the way woods, in snow, w/something sinister, or with possibly creepy, snow creatures. I got NONE of that. It was an acid trip, w/snow,& fevered kids,& Dad, w/a persistent cough, who were here, then there, or wait, they're asleep, or, not. A dream of the Dad's? Or was he hallucinating from a fever, too? Feeling guilt of not being able to save his wife after a fall,& trying to celebrate Christmas w/the children, &move on?? Who knows?! Just a back & forth tug of war &into a big mud pit of confusion.
Claire in Motion (2016)
Do NOT waste your time watching this!
I thought maybe it was going to be a thriller. WRONG. Then I thought it was going to be a case of student-crush-obsession murder. WRONG. Then,, thought it was going to be a case of a medical trauma while camping. WRONG! This movie gives you all the highs of different could-be's, but, then leaves you wanting to club yourself in the head, especially the empty ending. I was like "Wth was THAT?!" Stole an hour & a half from me, and made me so mad. I was looking for that club...
So much effort to make a film ending up EFFORTLESS. I hate movies like that,& I hope I never come across another of this director!
The Kovak Box (2006)
A good first 1/2 hour, then gritting my teeth
Good Lord, I hate when a movie's overview holds your interest, then stretches, & stretches, like a fatty piece of grissel you're trying to cut or rip off..but can't. It's like that for me. I wished I would've severed that movie/grissel from my plate, so to speak. The old man the story is named for, got on my damned nerves. Like a Narcissistic, British loon, or drunk with power..he yammers ON & ON & ON. In every scene he's inserted in. And, the bald man a la mysterioso, with the knuckle tattoos. WHY bring him into the movie, and tantalize us with the assumption of what he's about, & who he's working for, then we know NOTHING about him, and wth reason he was inserted into this film for. He then just fizzles out of the storyline. This flick left me flat, and wasted my time. Timothy Hutton and Lucia Jimenez were the only decent actors in this cryptic, wild goose chase of a film. I wish I would've watched something else on Tubi. 😡
Mold (2022)
Goofy, and yet somewhat scary.
Thought it was going to be good, scary, and maybe like the movie - Quarantine. The acting was somewhat corny, and unrealistic such as the blonde main female lead. My God, ACT like something supernatural attacking you SCARES you, girl! It's like Bo Derek all over again.
The creatures make up was pretty good, and yet the moving "spores-tentacles," whatever you want to call them..looked like someone's haunted weave, or giant public hairs coming at you. Very cheesy. But, the needlessly lengthy moments in-between the creatures hobbling around, growling, and hissing as the victims just stared - drove me NUTS. Watch this if you can't find anything else on TV, or have paint to dry. Maybe watch THAT, instead.
Child Eater (2016)
Hmm..wherever I seen this b4?
Basically a Jeepers Creepers Rip off/copycat movie. With some poor acting. The kid was the most decent actor out of the cast, & the lady who screamed at the little Ginger girl. It got predictable who was going to die, also. Plus: your typical doofas cops who are portrayed as not being prepared in the DARK ass woods. Lordy.
If only I hadn't gotten so curious, & watched this flick. Set myself up once again, for another horror film that pretty much regurgitated another. I would rather watch Sleepwalking camp for the 3rd time, & get the cringey feeling from that movie, for a specific reason, lol, but, yes, this was a letdown,& not a sight for "sore eyes."(Pun intended. Heheh)
