Claw

This is a nice little comedy. It ain't King Lear. It ain't Gone With The Wind. It's a small fun movie, designed to make you smile and laugh and get some cheap flash scares on the way. The acting is just fine, in fact very good for this movie genre.

When you have some time and need to decompress, start this one and see how you like it.

Claw was a decent movie, the rating is below-average, but I don't nessaserily agree, I think with its approach it works quite well, and doesn't do much wrong. The quipps are hit-and-miss, but it doesn't jump and then swim, it takes it's hit and when doesn't work which some don't, then your left with an empty ocean. If they do work, then they swim like Fishes. So let's get into the review.

Both friends are stuck in a deserted and colourless area in a sand heap, unfortunately for them with a Broken car, and nobody in sight, are quirky characters are stuck with a decision. The first 10 minutes is good because it has charm, it has their quirky side, and the dynamic is interesting because they are both completely different. What makes this part good is when the girls dancing and flexing trying to get a ride, the scene is played out well because it's charming and fun. If you explore some negatives then yes you'd think they'd have a spare tyre, but apart from that it seems quite good so far-7

Then the next part has some pacing issues, but the exploration on the farm was interesting and did develop some fears and did have some genuine scares which is what I liked. There's also some surprises along the way, and I am surprised the man getting nudged couldn't wake up, that was a funny scene because you didn't know what he was like, so far a few flaws but mostly good, so stay with me-6.5

Then we get the action scenes, which some are full of surprises, and the Movie completely laughs in your face! And gives you some fun and energetic runs, the girly screams from the man will never not be funny. And if any nit-pics, I wish the guy would have more of an interesting mystery, as it comes across as abit formulaic with him acting mysterious the whole time, and he told a little white lie, it did disappoint slightly but not too bad. 5.5 so far.

Then a year later, the Friends then joke around about how they were in a desolute town and that they had a mysterious old man, I quite liked some of the jokes, like I said not all of them sticked but worth the watch. A fun fulfilled time with a brilliant ending. 5.60 Avg Weighted for me.

I think this film is a 5 Because it has some good action-Sequences and was a good fun time that's laughably dumb. Not bad indeed, I'd say a solid 5/10 worth a one-time-watch, just "One more time, we're gonna celebrate".

I guess it was the intention to make this an ironical, tongue-in-cheek horror parody. Well, it's definitely all done with enthusiasm, and "sympathetic" is the word that constantly popped up in my mind while watching. But it was a bit too ambiguous for my taste. For a horror comedy it simply doesn't have enough horror, like serious jump scares or gore or even a basic building-up of the suspense. And for a comedy the humor was too dorky. I guess you could call it camp, but even then it didn't get enough substance to keep you interested throughout.

Another problem was that, after the first confrontation with the prehistoric raptor (done with simple looking CGI), the story didn't get any deeper or more multilayered; for the rest of the (very short) movie the raptor just kept roaring and chasing, while the main characters kept frantically running around to escape it. Chynna Walker and Richard Rennie act fine and they are funny enough, with some witty dialogues and ad-libs, but that's simply not enough to make a good and involving movie.

I expected another cruddy creature feature and was pleasantly surprised with this movie. The acting was very good. The CG was pretty good and all in all it was a fun watch.

There was a couple of minutes right before the end that I thought was not funny at all. Thankfully it did not end on that.

Apart from that one bit, very, very watchable.

Good fun.

With a couple of good actors this could be an ok movie.
