June

Don't upset June. Really? I've seen more consequences to being asked to wear a mask in a supermarket. The acting is mainly good, so that's why it has any stars. I suppose it gets better towards the end...but I didn't get that far the second time, I think I fell asleep...or maybe had another stroke.

To be fair, I've seen a lot worse films. This is a supernatural thriller which takes its influences from films such as 'Carrie', 'Bless the Child' and 'The Omen' so don't expect to see much originality. The acting's not bad but the script leaves a lot to be desired - I guess you can only work with what you're given. The narrative is rather simple and brings nothing new to the genre, however the cinematography is superb and a joy to watch. It's entertaining enough as movies go, but I can't help feeling that it could have been so much better. You're never going to make a film as beloved as the classics (The Omen, Rosemary's Baby etc) but with a more interesting plot, that stands up on its own, things could have been greatly improved.

June isn't terrible, but it's also not anything special. Decent acting, overused plot, and subpar effects. A lot of what happens in the movie doesn't even seem relavent to the main story. It's all just glossed over, and never really goes in depth about anything which leads up to the climax being pretty anticlimactic and rushed. It makes for decent background noise at the very least.

Is it just me or lately horror movies have been focused on these subjects alone: zombies, possession, found footage.

You wait and wait, you want to see something a tad bit decent, that would do it, but no, the exact same movie you've seen 10 times in the last 5 years makes yet another appearance under a different name. And it is really starting to bug me!

Now about the movie per say: the acting is OK, the actors are good, the plot is quite used and the execution is poor. The effects are usually bad, the horror scenes were simply copied from other productions and the ending is what you would expect it to be. From head to tale, this one is a pass. Nothing new here, nothing good either.

Cheers!

Tale about a young orphaned girl and her demonic alter ego Aer, as she is moved from trailer trash foster home to nice but childless couple. Naturally there is an evil plan at work. This movie is pretty well acted and filmed, is easily watchable but as a horror film it is very tame. I picked it up from Poundland so can't grumble, though I'll be passing my copy on.
