Horror in the High Desert (2021)
Tell, don't show
All the stars I gave for this movie come from the final sequence. That part is SO good, such a great sequence, scary and anxiety inducing! I really wish we had more things like that, because for 60+ minutes all we have is freaking boring. Three different people telling the same story, and sometimes they just repeat what the other said. All they do is tell what happened, while we see some mostly unrelated pictures and videos. This is the opposite of show, don't tell, and it is pretty bad. Had they showed more of Gary's last videos, having a nice and interesting build up, this could be easily a 10. Too much build up, too slow and then the movie goes from 0 to 100 in a heartbeat.
I hope the sequel is better.
Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence (1992)
So bad that I couldn't believe it.
Wtf is happening in this movie? I mean, 1 and 2 were very entertaining, but this one is just a big pile of crap. I've read about the script troubles and that really hurt the movie. The plot makes no sense at all, I mean, why was the Cop resurrected? What was that about the cop woman? The main character is just a walking cliche and it is not even well played the the actor. That scene where he kisses the doctor makes no sense at all, and it is just embarrassing. There's a subtext lost here, something about cop brutality and cops dying on duty, but it just got lost in the mix of bad choices. It was really hard to complete the minimum character limit to finish this review. Stay away from this one, it is just bad.
The Nothing (2018)
0 out of 10
Once again, people who gave this thing 7-8-10 stars must be paid to do so. This movie is just pretentious and boring. Man, I cringed so hard at the line "Tom Hanks did it for 5 years"... Really Clayton? In what universe you think that a 25 years old adult would say that line and take it seriously?
It tries to be philosophical but it misses SO hard. The actor is not even nearly good enough to carry a movie like this alone, so you start by actually hating the character and pretty much keep on that for the rest of the movie.
And they don't show ANYTHING not even a glimpse of what is happening in the dark.
Seriously, don't waste your time on this pretentious and utterly boring thing.
The Goetia Diaries (2022)
If I could give 0, I would
There is absolutely nothing in this movie worth of your time. The main character is horribly written and the actor has no idea what he's doing. I swear to god, sometimes I felt that he was reading the script. The ONLY good (ish) actor is the dude in the webcam. The dialogues in the movie are terrible, it feels like a cheap soap opera where people need to wait the others finish talking to start talking themselves. The story leave things behind (like seeing things because of the video he watches), and it has A LOT of "telling", and not "showing". The fortmat should be interesting, but there are vlogs that don't make any sense to be posted. Somewhere along the movie the main character forgets the name of his channel, and it is very embarassing because we see the title card "East to West" and the dude keeps calling it "East meets West".
The ending is pretty pathetic, like everything else in the movie.
There is a 8 stars review here, but it must be the crew of the movie.
One of the worst FF I've ever seen...and it had everything to be interesting...
Toxica (2022)
Just horrible
There is no way this movie got all those awards I read about on the trivia session. Of course it has its merits, like the soundtrack, and the photography is good too. But that is all. First the protagonist, they try to make her badass and tough but she is so poorly written that I can't blame the actress for that crap...she is annoying and has this "badass" look on her face all the time. The plot also sucks hard, the story doesn't make any sense and jumps from here to there without any explanation given. Plot holes and inconsistencies are all over the script (there is this scene where the protagonist is beaten to a pulp and the next day her face is clean as a baby's butt). Overall, it is just bad writting and an even worse direction, they try to "show, don't tell" but they forget to show. Avoid this.
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
The magic of cinema
This is cinema, at the most basic form. It has always been about the magic of great stories and their ability to make us feel like we're more than just spectators.
This movie is all about that magic. It goes from a Sci fi to a touching story. And it takes you together.
I cannot remember the last time I had such an incredible time watching a movie...
Everything here is really fantastic, and the wrapping touches your heart. If you don't feel anything, there's a problem with you.
All the awards it got are more than deserved.
I don't have much else to say about this movie. Just watch it... Really.
Shookum Hills (2021)
What a waste of time
This is one of those movies that make you wonder how bad can someone write a script. The freaking thing is full of plot holes and contradictions. Some people who "take care" of the monsters are completely incompetent and you have to think how is that they survived to that point. The main cast? Not only horrible acting but also silly clichés, you have science leader guy, tech guy (who is totally incompetent), security guy (who does nothing to help when things so south), conspiracy theorist"ish" science guy (who loves to deny science in his speech) and tough lady guide (who has no reason to be with them from a certain point of the movie).
Stay away from this, it is not even worth the curiosity.
Oh, almost forgot to point that the creatures are never fully revealed, they are always in the shadow, in distance or blurred.
Backcountry (2014)
Boring as hell
First of all, the bear only makes its appearance at around 59 minutes, until then it is an uncomfortable flick about a seemingly failing relationship.
After that mark, there's ONE terrifying scene (great visuals, terrible sound managing) and another one where the survivor is in danger, that's it . Don't get me wrong, the cast is good, the atmosphere too, but there's not much else.
Maybe it is because this movie is based on a true story, but there isn't much going on.
Really, I'm surprised to see such a good rating for a unbelievably boring movie, with a even more boring ending.
I bet a documentary about this case is more interesting.
Face of Evil (2016)
Too bad I can't give 0 stars
If someone says this has good qualities, do not believe them. This movie is so horrible that I had to watch it with 2x the speed in order to finish it. Absolutely everything sucks in this movie: the acting is cringy, camera work makes bad choices in pretty much every scene, the plot is too predictable and it fails miserably to hold you attention. This does not reach the limit of "so bad it's good". Run from this
