Dead Birds (2004)
5/10
Good story, poor execution
11 June 2022
Painfully long bits punctuated by cheap jump scares. Underutilized cast. Story was interesting but it wasn't told well.

Did someone recommend this to you because you like The Burrowers? They're not your friend.

Climax (I) (2018)

Do you like movies that are all about the visuals and nothing else? Are you a failed theater or film major who wants to bore people at parties with long diatribes about continuous shots and camera lenses? Do you think that ethereal smog and weird angles make up for a lack of plot? Then you'll love Climax!

Seriously, if you want an actual story about people you may like or at least be concerned about? Spend your two hours elsewhere. Everyone telling you to watch this movie wants to look cultured and probably wears lensless glasses. This is arthouse drek at its finest.

Mandy (I) (2018)
4/10
Nothing you haven't seen before
29 September 2018
I bought into the hype and was disappointed, but this movie wasn't made for me. I'm more into story-driven horror and this is visuals-driven horror. I found it to be a typical hyper-violent revenge fantasy that was just dressed-up/stylized. It also did not need to be a full two hours.

Watch literally anything else. This isn't mysterious or a slow burn. It's unimaginative garbage. What you think it is 20 minutes in? That's what it is. Move along because there is less than nothing to see here.

Warning: Spoilers
This is just a comment to the guy who flipped out and cried libel to this film: it says on the box that it's a rehash of the story that inspired The Hills Have Eyes. No libel there--the box says what it is; it's a movie about the inbred family that ate people in caves... the same family who inspired both Hills Have Eyes films. I just wanted to clear that up for everyone. I haven't seen this movie YET. I am going to rent it eventually because I think it looks like fun. I dig horror movies that a lot of people view as shoddy and uninspired. By the by, I was QUITE impressed with the remake of the Hills Have Eyes. I think the boys who did High Tension did a magnificent job with it. I've got to admit, though, that the animal violence made me cry not once, but twice. So, again: this movie isn't libel or a ripoff: it's another take on an actual story. Amazing how the same psychopaths can inspire more than one movie, isn't it?
