Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind (2020)
What the?
What did I just watch? I get it that people believe this stuff but this was just terrible.
Creep (2014)
What did I just watch?
I'm really not sure why people are giving this movie high ratings. It was a complete waste of time. It was a horribly shot found footage film (a genre that needs to go away) that just made no sense. Terrible acting. It could have been a good movie based on the story but the actors did not make it believable for me.
Hostel (2005)
Boring
After hearing all of the hype for this movie, a friend and I went to see it in the theater. We were ready for some really good scary blood and gore. What we got was 90% of the movie was the backpackers having sex with locals in a hostel. The few scenes that did show some blood and gore was very mediocre in comparison to other movies I've seen.
Basically it was a teen horror movie bumped up a level. Friday the 13th was much more scary in its time than this was today. Finding a movie these days that is scary and gory is just not possible, and this is another disappointment.
Some of the story was okay, and "buyable" but for the most part it was pretty hokey.
The Boston Strangler (2006)
Terrible, boring
I'm from Boston and know people who were questioned about the murders. It was a little disappointing to see how this was put together. And I don't remember De Salvo having a foreign accent, the real De Salvo grew up in Massachusetts. Sure the actor looked a little like the real De Salvo, but his accent made the story seem fake. The overall feel of the movie was worse than a made for TV movie. The photography for the movie was very jumpy. The costumes for the time period didn't match very well.
If you are looking for something scary or gory, this is not it. It's more of a history movie you'd see in high school on the reel to reel during class. I didn't even watch the whole thing. Terrible.
