- DirectorJason StoddardStarsLeslie EasterbrookKane HodderJ.D. HartA story of incomprehensible abuse delivered by an explosively violent mother of four. Journey through the mind of a child that experiences a living hell, defined and defended by the twisted religious beliefs of her mother.Maggie's husband prepares to leave her, but she's unwilling to let him go. With him gone, she takes her religious-based rage out on her teenage children who mill about from one scene to the next like zombies waiting for the bullet. Leslie Easterbrook overacts every scene and every outside character seems to be a one-dimensional redneck cariacture which turns the whole ordeal into a Looney Tunes-esque torture film.
I can sit through and find some enjoyment in even the worst made horror films and generally do like some terrible gems; this is no different in that at least it's a polished bit of feces rather than being a rough, homemade pile of dung. "The Girl Next Door" handles the true life horror story of a parental figure being evil and torturing children just a bit better than "The Afflicted" (The Girl Next Door portrays Sylvia Likens' torture and murder at the hands of Gertrude Baniszewski and her children while The Afflicted is based on Theresa Knorr's torture and murder of her two eldest daughters). The Girl Next Door evoked an emotional response whereas The Afflicted suffered from poor acting and an unbelievable timeline. In reality, Knorr abused her children from the start, making their unwillingness to flee or fight back plausible since they would have felt powerless to stop her or to even understand how there could be any other way to live. But the movie shows a happy family and then has the abuse start when the eldest child is 17-18yrs old and it gives them ample opportunity to escape or fight back, but nothing ever happens and no one ever believes them when they try to tell people. Too often with these true crime horror stories, the writers try to shove too much of the violence into the story and they don't properly flesh out the full story from start to finish. Another example is The Snowtown Murders which focuses on the murders so much that it becomes repetitive and boring and there is no resolution to the movie despite the fact that John Bunting and his accomplices were eventually caught and convicted. The Snowtown Murders literally ends with a few lines of text on a black screen after yet another murder. It's just blah film making. - DirectorJeff LiebermanStarsAlexander BrickelKatheryn WinnickStephen GrahamA naive young boy unknowingly becomes the pawn of a serial killer.Douglas is a third grader with an orthodonic lisp and too many unhealthy obsessions. While retrieving his sister on Halloween with his mother, he plays a video game called Satan's Little Helper, a side scroller flash game that has a little devil character killing randomly placed passerby for points. Douglas is so obsessed with this game that he dresses as Satan's Little Helper and, when he can't stand the fact that his college-age sister is dating a hipster with daddy issues named Alex, he runs off to become the unwitting companion of a serial killer in a Satan costume. Together, they roam the streets killing random people and mowing down shoppers at a grocery store with a shopping cart. Little Douglas thinks this is all make-believe for an ungodly amount of time and, only faced with the death of someone close to him does he finally figure out what we've known all along. But never fear, Jesus shows up! But it's the killer in a different costume. And then a police officer shows up! But it's the killer in a different costume.
Sweet Jesus, there have been a lot of movie kids that I would like to have seen eviscerated, but Douglas takes the serial killer cake! If this kid somehow makes it out of this movie alive, his teenage years will not be easy. He throws temper tantrums at the slightest provocation and he's just generally annoying. The movie's got a decent pace to it and some genuinely funny moments. The cheap looking trailer at the beginning threw me off a little and I was expecting a lot less than what this movie provided so maybe it wasn't such a dumb idea to include it in the first place. Not bad, Netflix Max... Not bad, at all. - DirectorJason Todd IpsonStarsCorri EnglishScot DavisJoshua AlbaA young pathology med student suspects that the spirit of a dead cadaver in the hospital morgue where she works is killing off all those who handle or desecrate the body.A group of med students in a gross anatomy class get to work dissecting their cadaver, but Alison gets weird feelings and starts to investigate the background of her mysterious subject. The majority of the movie deals with people getting killed off screen for the most part and Alison running around annoying people into giving her information everyone tells her she shouldn't have because it will get her kicked out of school. The mystery unravels at the very end and it's an okay story, but the premise is just sort of weak.
If Dr. Covas pissed off 50 thousand spirits, wouldn't they be happy with her death and any subsequent mishandling of her body? And, if the premise were true, that souls stay with their bodies until they're buried, why wouldn't the 50 thousand have already been at peace considering they were in a mass burial? As a side note, maybe they should've reigned in that number, because 50 thousand bodies is ridiculous - it would take more than a hole in a mound of dirt to cover that many people. Anyhoo, so it's a race against time to figure out what's going on and to satisfy the murderous spirit of their cadaver before she kills again.... or someone kills again, that part is never really explained all that well. Eh.... not bad, but not really all that memorable. - DirectorWilliam CastleStarsVincent PriceCarol OhmartRichard LongA millionaire offers $10,000 to five people who agree to be locked in a large, spooky, rented house overnight with him and his wife.Somehow, Netflix Max figured out that I'm a Horror Movie Fraud because I haven't seen a lot of the classics or even the neo-classics. I've seen the remake with Geoffrey Rush and loved it with the exception of the ridiculous howling red mist that chases them around. Luckily, there's no such element in the original and it reads more like a crime thriller than a horror film since we only get spooky sounds and everything else is explained away at the end.For anyone not familiar with the story, a wealthy millionaire played by Vincent Price invites five strangers to stay overnight in a haunted house in exchange for $10,000 if they survive. It's his fourth wife's birthday, but she fears it will be her last as her husband is the jealous, possessive type and she believes him to have killed her predecessors. Locked in with no ability to communicate with the outside world, the guests start to get antsy and explore the house. Hijinks ensue. It's not bad for the 50s, but sadly, this sort of movie would never do well in today's theaters when up against modern horror with all its explicit gore.
- DirectorHarry BasilStarsLeah PipesKristin CavallariJosh HendersonFresh out of rehab, a young woman moves back in with her parents and sister, and soon becomes involved in a mystery that has left people in her town paralyzed.After overdosing with her boyfriend and having to go to rehab, Melanie is driven home by her sister Crystal who tells her about the only urban legend in the small town that their family has moved to. The legend deals with a busload of kids that gets hit by a train and now, if you put your car in neutral right before the tracks, their ghosts will push it to safety. But why does one little girl's ghost keep haunting Melanie if they're all so benign? When she investigates the tragedy that happened 50yrs earlier, she finds a secret the whole town has been keeping.
The boyfriend's the red herring, but isn't he always? I thought for a fair bit that the killer might be Crystal - the cheesy diguise didn't really make me think it was a ghost doing all the killing like the movie would have you believe. The production value is decent, but the parents are laughable; the mother immediately establishes herself as a bitch whose only goal is to turn everyone against Melanie in some deranged attempt to keep her from drugs and that bit at the end of her ultimate fate is too far too cheesy of a wrap-up. It's like the writers said "here, audience, hate this woman! Don't worry, she'll get her due later on!" Junk, junk, junk. - DirectorJean-Baptiste AndreaFabrice CanepaStarsRay WiseLin ShayeMick CainChristmas Eve. On his way to his in-laws with his family, Frank Harrington decides to try a shortcut, for the first time in 20 years. It turns out to be the biggest mistake of his life.Stuck in a car on Christmas, Frank decides to take a shortcut to get to his wife's mother's house with his family in tow. Everyone gets on his nerves - his well-meaning wife, his obnoxious punk son, his queasy daughter and her suck-up boyfriend, but, most of all, what really annoys him is the fact that the road they're traveling on doesn't seem to have an end. When a woman in white shows up with a blanketed baby, he gives her a ride and things strart to go downhill for the family, starting with the boyfriend.
Predictable as hell, but fun simply for Ray Wise's reactions to Lin Shaye. - DirectorMichael StoreyStarsAaron AshmoreHaylie DuffLucy HaleThe sole survivor of a weekend getaway recounts the events leading to the murders of six friends on a secluded island, revealing secrets, betrayals, and a killer seeking revenge.Netflix Max tricked me into watching a tv movie starring Hailey Duff by telling me it scored almost 4 stars. No one likes Hailey Duff that much! The movie starts out with Duff running amuck on an island, clutching a bloody knife while men with large guns chase her down and take her in for questioning when they find 6 dead kids. She claims to not remember anything and it's classic bad cop/good therapist while she flashbacks the entire movie, explaining how each of her friends ate it.
The reveal is meh... The fact that something wasn't right about Duff screamed at the audience throughout the movie and the little backstory that precedes the reveal is kind of confusing because it feels like we're never given the real story. All of the murders happen off screen for the most part, so they mostly just run around in the woods and in a cabin. Eh.... maybe a 2.5 out of 5, but not an almost 4. - DirectorChad FerrinStarsTimothy MuskatellRicardo GrayCharlotte MarieWhen a disabled teenager is tormented by his mother's lowlife lover and colleagues, a killer masquerading as the Easter Bunny sets out to avenge their heinous crimes.I should have stuck with Netflix Max; I watched this because of all you jerks doing the challenge said it would be awesome. I....I hate you, guys. lol, oh god, the nails!! Why do they always show terrible nails breaking off?! I watched this last night and my stomach still did a flip over that scene! Terrible acting, scenes that don't make sense even in context, and more gore than any movie has a right to have - it's a pure exploitation film, except it fell flat on the gratuitous sex, making it subpar for the genre. The beginning is super slow and the acting is high school theater at best, but it picks up after the first gory murder and doesn't stop until the cheesy ending.
When Mindy, a single mother of a 16-year old with Mental Retardation Cerebal Palsy, has to work a double, she leaves her son with her convenience store robber-murderer boyfriend who immediately sets himself to verbally and physically abuse the Easter-obsessed boy. Needing cocaine, Rem (the boyfriend) calls a pedophile friend over for a party while he goes out to get hookers. Hijinks ensue. - DirectorSteven RumbelowStarsDexter FletcherDickon TolsonLana KamenovA horrible virus kills billions within minutes. The few survivors that are left have to deal with the shock of the apocalypse, and they have no idea that things are about to get much worse.Within minutes, an entire city is reduced to bodies as people somehow catch a terrible virus all at the same time despite being physically separate. What few survivors are left band together, but quickly fall to squabbling amongst themselves. When the dead get up and start to walk about, three survivors hightail it out of the city and try to make a go of it in the countryside.
It's not a typical zombie movie in that the dead are trying to eat the survivors, but the dead seem to follow the same sort of rules set by 28 Days Later where they reanimate and follow their slowly returning senses in order to find and destroy the living. It's low budget and the directing seems to be a little on the amateur side what with freeze frames overlaid with heavy suspenseful music and blurred lens scenes. Not bad, but it could have been a lot better. - DirectorNick MurphyStarsRebecca HallDominic WestImelda StauntonIn 1921, England is overwhelmed by the loss and grief of World War I. Hoax exposer Florence Cathcart visits a boarding school to explain sightings of a child ghost. Everything she believes unravels as the 'missing' begin to show themselves.A well educated woman who debunks ghosts and writes about it is called to a boy's boarding school to discover the truth behind a ghost who may have killed one of the school's pupils. She immediately finds herself at odds with Robert Mallory, the injured vet who runs the school, in what could be called romantic tension. Together with the housekeeper Maud and a pupil, Thomas, Florence Cathcart sets up traps and cameras to catch the ghost and solve the mystery of the pupil's death. However, after solving the mystery, another piece of the puzzle reveals itself and she stays to unravel it.
Very well done with excellent performances from nearly every actor; the only thing I didn't like was the ambiguity at the end - I don't like Lady or the Tiger endings even if this wasn't meant to be one. The house is absolutely beautiful as are the grounds and the ghost doesn't come off as all that cheesy. This one easily takes favorite so far for me. - DirectorDarin ScottStarsJeffrey CombsMeghan OryDiane SalingerA troupe of actors hired for a haunted house attraction soon find that they are working in a true house of horror.Fourteen years ago, Ms. Darrode killed seven of her eight foster kids. Fast forward to today (or some approximation of today), the girl who discovered the massacre has grown up with night terrors and self-mutilation and is an aspiring acting student! Ugh... even typing up the synopsis makes me angry. Anyhoo, so her quack therapist tells her to go back to the house to remember what terrible thing happened in the house. Unwilling to go alone, she tricks her acting class into taking a job when a wealthy eccentric turns the house into a spook fest and needs actors. And things go terribly wrong when an overacting ghost pops up in the computer and turns all the holograms into real monsters that start killing people.
Oh sweet Jesus, just stay away from this one! She's not the kid who discovered the massacre, she's the eighth foster kid. Ms. Darrode believed all the kids were possessed with demons and so she beat them regularly until, in an act of rebellion, they burn their Bibles in the furnace. Ms. Darrode catches them and murders them before shoving her hands into the garbage disposal. Everyone dies except for the main character who's discovered by police as she stabs the ground, mumbling "go to Hell, bitch". She's taken to an asylum after they figure her to have suffered a psychotic break - the girl who actually discovered the bodies shows up at the house and gets killed. Ugh, so terrible. - DirectorHiguchinskyStarsEddieNatsuki KatôMasanobu AndôA group of eleven criminals are trapped in a warehouse with bracelets. The eleven learn that they are part of a game where the prize is three million Yen and a clean record. The object is to reach the Baron's house. However, the obstacles they face involve hunters with laser guns who will go after the contestants. It seems as if this game is fun...however, the game proves to be a battle of life and death.Eleven strangers wake up in a warehouse with watches on that can inject poison if they attempt to take them off. A faceless boss figure shows up on a screen and tells them that they're going to play a game and that whomever gets to the pier first will get 300 million yen and all their crimes wiped away. As each person is a criminal, from petty Pachinko gamblers to assassins, they all want to win. But, just in case any of them thought they wouldn't play, the goofy bad guy outside the screen tells them that they will be hunted by guys with lasers... except, they're more machine gun than laser, but whatever.
The movie moves at a decent pace, but it fails at achieving what the movie it intended on ripping off got right - Battle Royale had a lot of characters and, through storytelling, made you feel certain ways about those characters. Tokyo 10+01 gets you to the point of almost liking someone and then they're killed by the relentless hunters who ruin pretty much every character development scene. And then there's the stupid main character's back story flashback which shows three or four times and makes him all contemplative at random intervals. The ending is pretty predictable and the reveal is given away by the title. There are a few gore scenes, but most of the deaths are the result of CGI bullet wounds. Weak story, weak effects, weak ending, glad to get it out of my queue as this was not a Netflix Max suggestion. - DirectorJohannes RobertsStarsDavid SchofieldEliza BennettRuth GemmellA group of teachers must defend themselves from a gang of murderous youths when their school comes under siege after hours.After a teacher is assaulted and forced to take a leave of absence lest his attacker's parents sue the school, he returns a broken man. His coworkers don't respect him, his students torment him, his daughter prickles every time he addresses her, the cops think he's a cry wolf, and his wife has left him. Everything's falling apart all around him when his worst fears come true and hooded parkour punks descend upon the school and kill teachers and staff alike.
You almost want everyone to die. The kid's a brat, the teacher won't stand up for himself, and all the other teachers are *beep* No one has any survival instinct and they're completely oblivious to the teenagers crawling around on door frames and hopping around. The ending is unsatisfying. - DirectorLance W. DreesenClint HutchisonStarsJohn RitterDavid DeLuiseAllison SmithA real estate agent terrifies a couple with the grim fates of the previous owners of a house they're looking at.A way too honest real estate agent leads a couple around a neighborhood's finer offerings and tells them the tales of the houses' previous owners in anthology style flashback sequences. As they hear the tales, they turn down the homes, making the real estate agent ever more desperate.
The first home is absolutely astonishing and witnessed the death of three people - a husband, a wife, and her lover. When Sarah and Frank are caught cheating by Louis, they struggle and Louis ends up floating to the bottom of the lake when all's said and done. However, Sarah's nightmares of Louis' return and the arrival of his cop drinking buddy unnerves Sarah and puts her right over the edge.
The second home is a little more modest, but is still huge and beautiful, once being the home of a lawyer whose daughter finds a monkey in a red suit. Promising that she could keep Bobo until his owner was found, Ron (Bryan Cranston who is looking very young here) becomes more and more convinced that the monkey is evil.
When the couple rejects the second house, their agent (John Ritter) takes them to the third house where he tells the story of the psychic son who attempts to save his therapist from the Granny Killer.
There are some decent laughs and the ending makes the movie. It's stereotypical 80s horror film, but that's part of the charm. - DirectorChris GorakStarsEmile HirschOlivia ThirlbyMax MinghellaIn Moscow, five young people lead the charge against an alien race who have attacked Earth via our power supply.On the same day that they get screwed by their business partner, two American friends in Moscow watch the advent of invisible electric aliens that turn everyone to ash. After hiding out in a basement for a couple days, the five survivors leave to find supplies and other survivors.
I don't know if this really qualifies as horror since it's more sci-fi horror, but it was decent. The story is sort of ho-hum in that it's really nothing new - people who have other stuff going on in their lives suddenly have to put it all aside when aliens invade and they scramble all around a city, losing various extra characters until they either die and the movie ends or they figure out a way to fight the aliens and set it up for a sequel. The only difference is how pretty and neat the aliens are in this one - they're sort of like electric jellyfish. - DirectorRyan ThompsonStarsKenny JamesDavid CalkinsMichael HarthenWhen roommates Mark & Tom go out for a night at the bar, the last thing they expected was a machete wielding stranger and a horde of the undead. But the unlikely duo must now fight for survival in an epic conflict.The movie centers of Tom and Mark who go to a bar and get overrun by zombies. There's a backstory about Agent Miller being hunted and blah blah blah.... Ok, so the movie starts out with two guys who are backlit spitting out terribly cliche lines when one sets a bunch of zombies on the other who fights his way out and leaves the door open for the rest of the zombies to follow. I originally thought this part would eventually reveal itself to be a hokey horror movie on a tv that the real movie characters are watching and laughing at or ignoring completely. To my abject horror, this scene is the story of how the zombies came to run amuck in the wide world. Then we've got two men who are far too old to realistically be in college sharing a bit of dialogue before heading off to a bar where a bunch of wooden actors are hiding along with a cliche goth girl who fights the undead with her camera! Thirty minutes in, we're treated to a scene where the evil Agent Net is acosted by three backlit bosses who tell him that he has a choice - eventually, on his own time, kill the guy he's been trying to kill OR die himself right there.... They actually spend 30 seconds laughing maniacally after they give him this choice. I mean, heads back, muhahahaing. Then the screen says it's a month later, but the "college kids", the agent, the goth chic, and the sweet girl who's doomed are still enjoying their first reactions to the undead and the sweet girl who's doomed is still bleeding from a random scrape wound and needs to be carried around - you think they would've gotten all of this out of the way sometime throughout the month... Tsk, bad acting, poor lighting, heavy-handed soundtrack, cheap and cliche script....
- DirectorDavid JacobsonStarsJeremy RennerBruce DavisonArtel GreatBiopic about notorious American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, taking place in both the past and the present.Based on a true story, obviously, this movie deals with some of Dahmer's early and late kills. The problem is that it jumps all over the place and doesn't really present a coherent story. Renner is absolutely delicious and creepy in this as Jeffrey Dahmer and the movie almost makes him sympathetic. Well shot and well acted, I just wish they would have rethought the storyline a little more.
- DirectorBen KetaiStarsKiele SanchezRhys CoiroDiora BairdAfter surviving the incidents in Barrow, Alaska, Stella Oleson relocates to Los Angeles, where she intentionally attracts the attention of the local vampire population in order to avenge the death of her husband, Eben.The sequel picks up right where the original left off, but then it fast forwards a bit where Stella has moved to Los Angeles in order to instigate the vampires into showing themselves. She meets up with three vampire hunters who ask her to join her in their attempt to find Lilith, the queen who dictates all the vampires' moves.
For the most part, the aesthetic from the first is carried to the second and it's a decent sequel. - DirectorFranck KhalfounStarsElijah WoodNora ArnezederAmerica OlivoAs he helps a young artist with her upcoming exhibition, the owner of a mannequin shop's deadly, suppressed desires come to the surface.After the death of his sexually promiscuous mother, Frank (Elijah Wood) keeps her mannequin restoration business running during the week and hunts for scalps at night. Interrupting his morbid fantasies, Sarah (Nora Arnezeder), an photography artist with an upcoming gallery show, appears and seems to take a genuine interest in him. But can he keep his homicidal impulses at bay for a chance at romance?
There are very few times where we see Wood without the use of a mirror or reflective surface and it's an interesting concept, keeping the whole movie from the killer's POV. The back story is kind of weak, but it works in a Oedipus sort of way. - DirectorTom DeNucciStarsEric RobertsMichael BerrymanJonathan SilvermanThe friends of a night watchman, at a highly secured self storage facility, are home from college and looking to party.Upon learning that his self storage security job is at its end, a slacker throws a party with a few friends and inadvertantly turns on the fail safe security system his ex-special forces boss has on a kill unit where he's stashed a bunch of kidnapped people. With all the "organ donors" gone and the collectors on the way, his boss needs to find replacements now.
Terrible script, terrible story, terrible acting - they break the fourth wall several times and a lot of the scenes really don't make any sense in context. Eric Roberts plays the boss; he's in everything, but the real treat is Michael Berryman in a decent speaking role where he's not a freak or mutant. - DirectorSebastián CorderoStarsSharlto CopleyMichael NyqvistChristian CamargoAn international crew of astronauts undertakes a privately funded mission to search for life on Jupiter's fourth largest moon.Six astronauts from various countries come together on a private mission to take surface samples of the ice and water from one of Jupiter's moons, Europa. They suffer losses along the way, but nothing could prepare them for what they find when they land.
The movie is pieced together mostly from stationary cameras with a handheld or helmet cam added in from time to time. Most of the characters seem to be one-dimensional stereotypes and the dialogue is not really all that impressive. However, despite all of that, the premise of the story is enough to save the movie.
Spoiler: the creature looks fantastic for what little we see of it and I liken it to JAWS in that aspect. Even the Europa's simplistic set design helps. - DirectorXavier GensStarsKarina TestaAurélien WiikPatrick LigardesA gang of young thieves flee Paris during the violent aftermath of a political election, only to hole up at an Inn run by neo-Nazis.I think I saw part of this on SyFy and never finished it and that's why it was on my list... In the chaos of Parisian riots, a gang takes refuge in a countryside inn only to be set upon by Nazi cannibals.
That's it. That's the synopsis I'm going to give you, because the rest of it is setup and never comes into play again once the screaming starts. Yasmine, the female counterpart of the gang, constantly gets coated in something which is then rinsed off and then stuff happens and she's once again coated. The worst part is when she starts to shake like Michael J Fox, bobbing her head and staring vacantly - she does this A LOT. - DirectorHenry JoostAriel SchulmanStarsStephen DunhamKatie FeatherstonMatt ShivelyIt has been five years since the disappearance of Katie and Hunter, and a suburban family witness strange events in their neighborhood when a woman and a mysterious child move in.This time around, we get to watch the neighbors get haunted and attacked. When his mom is taken to the hospital, Robbie stays with his neighbor's family and quickly forms a bond with their six-year old son, Wyatt. The teenage daughter and her boyfriend find Robbie to be extremely odd and quickly set up laptop cameras all around the house.
Ugh.... the neighbors? And the reveal doesn't make any sense. For as convoluted as the previous sequels were, at least they added something to the story. How does a demon, once s/he has the kid s/he wants, lose that kid? Was CPS involved? I just don't understand. And they're talking about making a fifth movie! Comeon! - DirectorReginald Le BorgStarsBasil RathboneAkim TamiroffLon Chaney Jr.Sir Joel Cadman, a mad scientist, kidnaps his victims and cuts open their brains in an effort to discover a means to cure his wife's brain tumor.Once again, Netflix Max has called me out for the Horror Fan Fraud that I am and forced me to watch a classic starring Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Jr, and Basil Rathbone. I actually quite enjoyed this one despite it being in black and white.
On the night before his execution, Dr. Ramsay is given a powerful sedative that feigns death and is whisked away by his colleague, Sir Joel Cadman, to his castle where they perform brain surgery on random unwilling participants. With the addition of a hulking giant who strangles a sweet girl every chance he gets and the giant's creepy caretaker, Dr. Ramsay can't shake the feeling that something's just not right. - DirectorJames RabbittsStarsTabrett BethellFreya StaffordAndy WhitfieldWhile traveling across country with her fiancé, Beth wakes alone in an isolated clinic to find her unborn baby has been removed. Just how far will she go to get her child back?On Christmas Eve, a man and his pregnant fiancee stop at a motel for a rest, but, when the man leaves to get food in the middle of the night, he returns to an empty room. While he's running around all crazy-like trying to rescue her, she wakes up in a bathtub of ice with a cesarian wound and no baby to show for it. She dons her prisoner-like get-up and joins three other women as they search for their babies while trying to avoid a killer who doesn't feel like cooperating in order to solve the puzzle of which baby belongs to which mother (it's set in 1979 before DNA tests, apparently).
Well-shot, decent acting, and a cohesive storyline - all together, not bad. After taking a brief respite from Netflix Max, it's last two suggestions haven't been terrible. I kind of wish this Challenge would last longer.
