Its more corny and cheesy at first but becomes serious and thriller than bugonia's sprawl into absurdity. Has its tier of craziness and has that keeping you gripped till the end feel but just not as much as bugonia. Nice watch. Rare instance where the remake is better
Its defo scary, very punishing and brutal. I was expecting a experience like Dead Space Remake and honestly while on the surface sharing some things. It felt more like SH2 Remake with a sci fi weaponry revamp, both in gameplay feel and nature of the Horrror. I both had fun and reached my limit
Captures the essence of Bigfoot way better than the later found footage movies. solemn narrator, the very 70s vhs quality cinematics. The creature isn't under utilized nor over. Shows both the rumor, paranoia and hints of it with scares while keeping the Squatch very obscure.
This film is soo absurdist in the way it tackles philosophy, tropes of fringe misanthropic young men. The pop culture references that synergizes with tin foil conspiracy rabbit holes and is just surprising and funny curve balls all after one another. Just brilliant.
Has a slow start that then streams well into a very confusing world bending existentialism × soap opera fest × thrilling paranoia cacophony. Was very intriguing to follow but I found the story got too convoluted and lost its semblance about a hour in
Loved, it feels like a acid trip paranoia scene that then becomes a reel into 80s attitudes of crime ridden america. The serial killer phenomenon and egotistical narcissism-ego death. It effortlessly combines absurdity, comedy and alarming thrill. The dawn asthetic, all the time.
What a film, reminds me of the psychological and terrifying efficacy of High Plains Drifter. Sort you realize is a psychological horror only towards the end and the simple plot twist feels soo stratified by the end with how isolating and oppressive its world and characters are.
My favorite parts of the movie were the very scary battles with larger than life mythological beasts and foes. Really scary, tense and grizzly stuff. It has a easy plot to follow thats mostly coherent but didn't captivate me that much. I still see why many people would love it
Very intelligent movie, wasn't the slow burn it seemed to be from the synopsis. The discussion about social dynamics, elitist stratification and the nature of the Cube was immersive. Also has shocking twists you don't forsee with how its way more grounded at the start.
Finally beat after starting it a year back. The story being convoluted is a generous description. The world is soo vivid, mystique, charming. Very unique combat too that's pounding and heavy hitting with nice elementals. Feels like a lite version of the Wonderful 101's combat.
The weakest of the 3, not the most resounding story in the end and not particularly meaningful compared to X and Pearl. It still had a nice pace of sinister mystery snd suspense, the disconnect from X was more than i expected but it makes sense given the blunting she experiences after X
Even better than X, truly a psychological character study. It was very enjoyable seeing the the culture clash between first gen german immigrant and the american dream in pearls character before her downward spiral into meglomania. The repression leads to the ASPD seamlessly. The vibe was on point
It really was a meaningful aharken and tribute to 70s slashers. Takes all of the tropes and makes them way more grounded in a methodical approach. Very creepy scenery and eeiry music in the first half too. The Theme of life being unfair, old vs young make it all the more mindful
Horrific and brutal really, it made me a bit in doubt if I should've seen it retrospectively. The story is a bit hard to follow while its occurring but the tension is always growing and so is the intrigue. World, budget quality and production feel way larger than Talk to Me
I honestly loved this film, it felt like a film taste of Detroit Become Humans lucid anthropomorphism of machines with a story of AI understanding exactly whats its like to be vulnerable, duped and conned as human and flawed. Very dynamic story that unpredictably escalates.
I'm glad I saw it, it felt more lively and enthusiastic spirited compared to TS4. Story is very much a modern generic adventure in a iconic legacy universe but the effort and passion was evident. I think it deserves credit for furthering Bonnie's story especially compared to TS4.
After Obsession, I was on a bit of a search for similar psychologically Disturbing horror films. While the story here isn't as refined and iconic. The Horror is absolutely on point and has that aspect of realism to character dynamics Obsession had. Constantly thrilling too
Wasn't what I expected, feels very Spielberg despite how serious it is. The competitiveness, high stakes. Great Action scenes that go all out. It really is about what current speculation about ufology and its treatment is than a story about it. A few surprising Easter eggs.
Saw Backrooms. The music is very well strung. Especially when close up isometrically in liminal spaces, and a sense of dreadful unease is always building. Very unpredictable scares and plenty of them. The film never felt boring even though the story wasn't the most articulate.
Black Lagoon is strange to me, i find the story boring and much of the dialogue flat but at the same time there's a sense of realism and tense pumping action that's just missing from other anime. Consequence and the harsh indignant realities of the world feel soo unshakable
I didn't expect it but honestly I'm sold, at first the combat in the demo felt generic souls type and I'm not a onimisha fan but the combat is very methodical and constructive. Especially the various ways to parry and evade. Feels more variegated than the average souls type.
Wow, genuinely the scariest movie I've seen all year. I love how there's such a moral ambiguity between the characters and a very blurred line of the good and bad they do between one another that mirrors real life interaction and the sheer incredulity of whats going on. Genuis
Wonderful anime, very underrated. I'm lucky to have caught wind of it, very brief and each episode feels like a earned memorable sitcom episode due to how the MC navigates with his multi faceted humor, shrewd skills and voyerism in episodes that all feel like a arc each.
I love how simplistic the story is in a ethereal otherworldly setting. Just about bonds and connection. The Gameplay never drops the high octane blistering intensity and collectibles/upgrades as a result feels like such a thrilling grind. Bosses are satisfactory for the most part.
There's more fun to be had in it than S1, i think if someone can set their expectations to it not really being DMC but a loosely inspired modern fantasy action story it maybe appreciated more. Dante sounds alot more like DMC 5 Nero than even season 1 which stunted my enjoyment.
Loved it, the game gets progressively fun. Shooting is smooth and generally bosses and fights are blisteringly fun. Even as the story is forgettable, it has that rascals aspect of one liners and quips that got me chuckling and engaged with the dialogue a bunch of times. Only Critiques I have are-
Im mixed on it, it was defo better than the 1st movie and felt very classically mortal kombat. Certain characters were very entertaining and others were dull. Story is initially sloppy but ramps up in immersion towards the end with a high stakes heroes escapade climax.
I also saw Moon, The Music is brilliantly placed between puzzling moments and it blurs the lines between Reality/Psychosis and alienation until it aims even higher but I think its efforts to furtively puzzle together a story is done soo atmospherically it becomes hard to follow.
These films are such nostalgic gems, both soo engaging and cheesy but they capture the 80s coming to age odyssey soo much and the spirit of action comedies from then. I prefer Karate Kid 2 because of its setting but I can see why the First is generally way more well regarded.
I found Planet of Lana 2 shorter, more streamlined and the puzzles felt way simpler than the 1st game for the most part. Felt more thrilling to brace through the world with more elevated momentum compared to the 1st game's mostly serene at most times tone. Just as Charming though
