In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses
under the ‘About Me’ section).

Uncaged OK/G
Decent natural horror film from Amsterdam (yes, a bit of it
is in English, but it’s mostly in Dutch with subtitles) involving a lion loose
in the city and its surrounding area.
The lion obviously isn’t real (its face alone will tell you that),
looking like a mixture of CGI and practical, and could’ve looked a lot worse
than it did, I guess (The Ghost and the
Darkness and 2007’s Prey managed
to effectively use real lions…just saying).
There is gore, that’s for damn certain, one or two parts even being slightly
sickening. Not a bad addition to the
subgenre aside from the creature design not being the best (but passable
enough) and that 20-minutes (give or take) could’ve been shaved off the
run-time. 8/17/2020
Prevenge EH
I know film criticism is subjective, but sometimes I wonder
if I saw the same movie as critics and/or people. This film is one of those instances; it
received 91% out of 85 critics on Rotten Tomatoes and I’ve heard it praised
within the horror community. This movie
was fucking asinine! Not only is it
formulaic AF, but its tonally inconsistent, being a movie that is much more
whimsical in nature when it could’ve been deadly serious, and not in a fun way
like Serial Mom. It is meant to be a black comedy, yes, but it
still didn’t work for me. In it, a
pregnant woman kills people that her unborn baby directs her to. Yes, her unborn baby talks to her. It’s all apparently a result of an accident
that took the life of the unborn baby’s daddy.
This movie was stuuuuuuuuuuuuupid.
I’m just amazed 91% of those critics (77 out of 85?!) on Rotten Tomatoes
didn’t hate it instead. Seriously, did
we see the same movie? 8/16/2020
