“Attack on Titan: Part 1 (2015)” movie review.

Posted by MartialHorror

"Attack on Titan: Part 1" won't likely satisfy anyone, as it's a weak adaptation, a weak standalone film and doesn't excel in the action or horror departments. But it's not unwatchable either and can even be enjoyable with the right crowd.

I didn't think "The Green Inferno" excelled as a movie, as a horror movie or as an Italian-styled Cannibal movie. I don't really hate it, but I almost feel like that is worse, as it shows how detached and uninterested I was. I've enjoyed talking about it, but I felt very little while watching it.

"The Brood" is an...odd kind of movie, as it fits my definition of 'good' and potentially even achieved greatness, but it's not for everyone...or maybe even for anyone.

While "The Visit" contains many flaws, I do feel like M. Night Shyamalan has learned from most of his mistakes. I felt the passion, focus and energy behind the camera, restoring my hope that maybe...maybe...M. Night isn't a hack who just lucked out. Maybe...

“The Babadook (2014)” movie review.

"The Babadook" is really a terse family drama dressed as a horror flick, although I don't want you to assume that it's not scary. This movie can actually be very terrifying, but it's less about ghosts jumping out at you and more about the psychological deterioration of its protagonist- which is either being caused by the specter or is the cause of the specter.

"The Vatican Tapes" is...just...there. It transcends both 'good' and 'bad', being the reason why the term 'mediocre' exists. I feel like I've seen it before in the form of every other possession movie.

"Premature Burial" is pretty good, but it's overshadowed by similar, albeit better, movies.

I can't say that "Rabid" is a great movie. If anything, I thought it was rather crude and shallow despite Cronenbergs attempts at sexually charged symbolism and social commentary. Yet I was also taken aback by the ambition and creativity, even though I should be used to this from Cronenberg by now.

“Sword in the Moon (2003)” movie review.

"Sword in the Moon" is a poser art film that's masquerading as a martial arts/horror epic, dressed in surprisingly lavish production values. I thought it was really boring.

"Jurassic World" isn't bad and can be enjoyed as long as you aren't expecting anything exceptional. I was expecting something exceptional...
