First off, why is she speaking like that? Secondly, too much pointless unnecessary swearing. I expected much better, with Larry Lamb and Phil Davis. Very disappointing.

Why?
2 April 2022
I was going to watch this movie and started off with the trailer. If you're British and of a certain age, you would have seen an image you would instantly have recognised. Why on earth would they use a picture of murdered 8 year old British school girl, Sarah Payne? Did the writers know who the girl in the picture was? Did they get permission from the family? Did they mention her in the movie? I don't understand how they were allowed to use that image or why they would use the image of a real life murder victim, a child at that. Decided not to watch the whole thing after seeing that.
The Lost Daughter
(2021)
Goes downhill fast
5 January 2022
Well, one daughter is lost. Then found. Then that's it, for the title anyway. The rest of the film is just...bleugh. Utter nonsense. Contrived garbage. Up itself. Itt hinks it's something, when in fact it's nothing. Absolutely pointless. Terrible. Don't waste your time.
The Raven on the Jetty
(2015)
Absolutely pointless
16 December 2021
The most pointless film I have ever had the misfortune of watching. Absolutely nothing of any interest happens, at all. Save yourself an hour and a half and do something productive. Just don't bother watching this film.
My Little Girl Is Gone
(2018)
Decent enough storyline
20 November 2021
Absolutely, categorically, the worst acting you will ever see. Not a single one of the people appearing in this movie can act, not one. I spent most of the time laughing at the awful dialogue and the silly faces the lead actress keeps pulling. And the daughter is so robotic it's unreal. The storyline is quite predictable but decent enough to make it to the end. But seriously, you will not find a worse group of actors in a single movie.
Rattlesnake

Just kill him already
16 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This movie starts off ok, but does get boring quite quickly. The scene with Katrina and the dying man's daughter was slow, and unnecessary. And then she finds a 'target' and instead of just getting on with it, decides to get him to drive somewhere remote. She could just kill the bad man in his house and get back to the hospital with her daughter. And once again with a Netflix film, the ending was stupid.
The Open House
(2018)
Don't bother
12 November 2021
Why do writers seem to think it's ok to finish a movie without having an ending? A story should have a beginning, a middle and an end. Where is the rest of this movie?! Why are they so lazy? How do movies like this get made? It makes no sense to me. If you want to sit through an hour and a half of a movie, only for it to end without finishing, be my guest. My suggestion is don't bother.
8 Remains
(2018)
Could be 10, could be 1
11 November 2021
I, think, I loved it. But I can see why some people hated it. Intriguing, suspenseful, some beautiful shots and really cleverly written. You really have to see it for yourself. Also, I don't think anybody else has mentioned it, but the main actress, Maja Celine Probst, really looks like Twins of Evil actresses Mary and Madeleine Collinson!
The Staircase
(2004–2018)
Story better told elsewhere
11 November 2021
I watched the first episode and was immediately enthralled and captivated by this thrilling true crime story. What on earth was the second episode? It was nonsense. I will be looking for this story elsewhere, it has to be told better than this tripe.
Awful

The Hatred
(2017)
Intriguing beginning...
1 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
And that's it. The rest is merely 4 extremely attractive women chatting for a bit. And an annoying kid. The Nazi storyline is pretty much disregarded. One of the women gets tied up and killed but they don't show you. The main female character leaves with the child seemingly forgetting her 3 best friends. So many plot holes and no ending. Wouldn't bother.
Echoes of Fear
(2018)
Not a crew member!
30 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I just had to leave a review of this film because some people seem to think the only positive reviews are coming from crew members or cast?! I really enjoyed it! I like horrors with jump scares and this had plenty. The story I liked, makes you wonder how long they were murdering women for, seeing how they were childhood friends, and how many more women there were. People complaining about the acting? I've seen much, much worse. No complaints from me on that front. The lead actress's voice kind of grows on you, as well. Give it a go!
Ghost Box
(2019)
Did I miss something?
2 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I'm absolutely confused. Whilst the movie was low budget, the ghost FX low budget, the acting sub-par, I wasn't dismayed by it. In fact, whisper it quietly, I was almost enjoying it. And then...what happened? Did it skip 20 minutes of the end of the movie? So they wake up, after having sex, which he didn't remember, and then it skips to the end with the YouTube guy saying he's singing (sic) off. What happened in between? Where's the rest of the movie? Bemused.
Loved it!
16 December 2020
Just found this on YouTube; brilliant! I haven't seen any of the other episodes in the Screen One series, but I loved this one. Nice storyline, if somewhat farfetched, good acting, lots of fun. The BBC tends to only make miserable dramas now like Moving On.
The Little Stranger
(2018)
The worst movie I've ever seen
20 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Nothing happens for the first hour. In fact it felt like I was watching the wrong movie, like it started off as one thing then a completely different film starts. There's a completely irrelevant dance hall scene. The two main characters were going to get married, then they weren't, completely irrelevant again. At the end female main character sees 'someone', falls over the bannister, dies.
Conclusion; don't waste your time watching it.
