Ash and Bone (2022)
3/10
Neither a 10 nor a 1, more likely a (solid) 3
5 January 2023
Get real! This is not a 10. I give every movie 30 minutes to convince me that it is worth watching. After 30 minutes the sheriff arrives and it looks like the poor sheriff hasn't got a proper police car. I feel so sorry for him driving around in his private car.

The plot of this movie is so uninteresting. There is no need of copy-cat backwoods-horror-movies. What can be the reason to watch a boring third rate movie?

When this movie is a 10, Nightmare on Elm Street is a 100. I just hope the ensemble enjoyed making this movie, so at least someone had fun.

Please watch something else.............

Like watching a videogame walkthrough
3 January 2023
More artificial worlds are waiting for the masses. I still can not understand the hype. There is nothing special about both Avatar movies. They just look like a videogame or PIXAR movie. They are so successful because they are so simpel, that really everyone can follow the plot. Switch your brain off and forget everything else. It is just escapism. Some people would watch this 24/7, just to forget the world and themselves. James Cameron is the master of distraction. This is entertainment for the brainwashed masses. Their brains really need this silly movie. And of course it is also about the money, lots of money.

Vampire (1979 TV Movie)
1/10
It's just some boring tv-movie.
30 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I did not expect much, but still watching this movie was a very disappointing experience.

A soap opera with some kind of vampire that makes verbal threats instead of doing what vampires usually do.

The urban setting is not really used to make a difference. The actors might be too good for this movie. How can the play against a boring plot?

I can give only one advice, dear reader, please do not trust the 10/10 reviews.

Do not waste your time on this movie. And at the end the vampire gets away, because this movie should have been a pilot movie for a series.

Better watch some movie with Bela Lugosi instead.

WTF? This ist the worst movie in the whole franchise! Haloween III is better!
14 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Should I cry or laugh? Is this supposed to be the Halloween Soap Opera Version? 55 Minutes without Michael and antoher kid on a killing spree?

Halloween Ends, and I hope it ends forever. The whole franchise is really a mess, only the first two original movies were great and Rob Zombie's approach is also good.

This whole new trilogy deserves to be forgotten forever. Halloween Ends is really an insult to every thinking person. The Hollywood-Machinery is wasting money and talent on producing trash like this.

I hate every sensleess reboot, remake, sequel and prequel. Hollywood should stop producing movies and do what it can do best: Produce commercials.

Sissy (I) (2022)
1/10
That's not a horror movie, ......
2 October 2022
It is a dumb movie with violence. Only annoying characters, no suspense, no horror. I hope this is the last influencer movie.

It takes 50 minutes to get to the point, the next 50 minutes are not any better.

So Sissy is a psychopath, so what! This movie is not interesting at all. Superhost was a bad movie, Sissy is the queen of all new bad movies.

Why talentless directors think they can make a horror movie?

If you want to waste your time, establish a bad taste or just loose some brain cells, you really should watch this.

There are actually some very good new horror movies out there, I hope you will find them. :)

Beast (I) (2022)
4/10
Name one horror movie, where the designated victims act smart!!!!!!!!!!!!
18 September 2022
The center of Beast is the lion and the lion looks good enough. The focus of my review is not the dumb behavior of the designated victims, but the reasons why Beast is not a good horror movie.

Actually there is not one scene, where you can watch the lion kill someone. There is some blood in this movie, but do not expect splatter effects. Also there should have been more attacks of the lion. The director of this mess was not able to create suspense and thrill.

And still I watched the whole movie, because I liked the landscape, the lion and the actors.

Why there was the need to place family issues in the plot, I can not answer.

Check it out for yourself and repeat saying "Stay in the car, stay in the car, stay in........................".

Only watch it when you want to waste your time
15 September 2022
The whole movie is depending on the end. Without this end the movie would be even worse.

I do not want to spoil the movie, so I only can write that the end is hilarious and makes the annoying characters look even dumber.

Overall the movie is really pointless and I can not believe that people would act like this in reality.

I watched this movies some days ago and I hardly remember what they were talking about but it seems that they can not live without a smartphone.

Maybe the director had a satire in mind, horror fans will be disappointed.

There's no horror to find, the marketing for this movie should be honest.

To fight a demon you have to...............
4 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Sister and brother are attacked by a demon. When the sister dies, the brother wants revenge. That's the whole plot.

The dirctor makes the best of the obvious low budget. Many strange things are happening and many scenes take place during the night. The movie has a very sinister, dark atmosphere that gets you at your throat.

If you want to feel uncomfortable, then watch this movie. Do not expect too much, because there are final revelations and explanations.

This one is really for fans of the horror genre, that do not want to miss out on any horror movie.

There is nothing more to write about When I consume you, check it out for yourself.

Burial (II) (2022)
4/10
It's watchable
3 September 2022
For a low-budget movie Burial is ok. There's is one good scene in the forest that shows that the director has potential.

But really annoying is how the different languages of the charakters are managed:

The Russians and the Germans speak English among each other, but sometimes they speak Russian or German what really makes no sense in this context.

If the director wants to know how this is done, he should watch Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.

Actually I was hoping for something interesting to happen at the end, but there's no twist or revelation.

The visual effects are good, especially the scenes of Berlin in ruines at the beginning of the movie.

The actors perfom well, I think I never saw any of them in a movie before.

The movie should only be watched when I do not find a better movie, but it should be easy to find a better movie.

Force: Five (1981)
7/10
Action-Adventure from Robert Clouse (Enter the Dragon)
31 August 2022
Nice movie, but the fights can not compare technically to Bruce Lee's style.

I really liked the "raging" bull, like Minotaurus in the labyrinth. The plot however is really simple and a happy end is guaranteed. I think that I never saw one of the actors before, anyway the are doing a good job.

The level of violence is above average, do not expect bloody shoot-outs, it is mostly hand-to-hand combat. Also the villain likes to torture his victims during interrogation.

The final fight is ok, it could have been more intense.

Enjoy this hidden gem and relax your brain. If you do not like it, watch Enter the Dragon.

Nope (2022)
7/10
It's also about horses... :-) Actually I like this movie
26 August 2022
Nope is really a different approach to Science Fiction and to everything else.

The visual effects are good, the cast acts well and the plot is interesting.

I may not like it, but watch it now! ;-)

3 Demons (2022)
3/10
It had potential, but the movie just repeats the same scene over and over again
24 August 2022
The setting was interesting enough to give it a try. The cop has the order to watch a dead body. Then the horror starts and the body is moving, also some creatures appear. That's it. The next 30 minutes this scene is repeating and I quit watching.

Check it out for yourself. If you make it to the end, please tell the others how this mytery is resolved.

Anguish (1987)
2/10
This did not work out for me
11 August 2022
I had high expectations and was really disapointed. The setting is so simple. Two friends watching a horror movie about someone killing people in a cinema while there is also a real killer in this cinema.

That's all folks. It's very boring.

Do not even think about watching this mess.

They/Them (2022)
7/10
Above average horror movie, the bodycount starts in the last 20 miutes
11 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
John Logan is known as writer for many great movies, this is his debut as director.

They/Them has an interesting plot, good actors and good camera work. Kevin Bacon acts well as the fanatic Owen Whistler.

And also the killer has a plausible motiv. This is more than most slashers have to offer.

Watch it and make your own decision.

The Signal (2007)
10/10
One-Way-Ticket into Madness
10 August 2022
The Signal is a wild ride into madness, it's confusing, sometimes even funny and it's really terrifying.

The cast acts well and the plot keeps you guessing what's really going on.

The Signal is a must-watch.

The Damned (1962)
10/10
The best Hammer movie
9 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The Damned (1962) is really a hidden gem. This movie has not lost it's impact.

I was astonished when I watched The Damned, I was even more astonished at the end: There is no happy end.

You should watch it.

Carter (2022)
4/10
OVER-THE-TOP ACTION
7 August 2022
Carter is an almost nonstop over-the-top action movie. The action scenes are really great and innovative. The plot is ok.

BUT this is the first time that I asked myself the question: Can there be too much violence in a movie?

Actually I think Carter is too violent. This is where I draw the line. More violence does not mean more entertaining.

Feel-Good-Movie and nothing else
5 August 2022
If you like good vibes than this one's for you. The cast plays well, the sun shines nonstop and the music is acceptable.

Just do not expect any revelations.

After watching below average horror movies this movie was fun.

Bullet Train (2022)
1/10
a spoof of an action movie
5 August 2022
Bullet Train is so cheesy, cranky, quirky that any movie fan feels punked.

There are no jokes that make you laugh, the action scenes are too violent.

If you want to watch some fun action movies than watch The Gray Man, Bad Spies or Red Notice or Knight & Day.

This is the first time Brad Pitt can not save the movie.

Bullet Train is nothing but a big letdown.

It's watchable, but it's not really professional
26 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The start is interesting, but then....... possessed by Dracula/Jack the Ripper?

It turns out to be just another exorcism movie. There was just one scary moment, the rest is below average.

I can't recommend this one.

Head Count (2018)
3/10
Nowadays people like every bad movie
13 May 2022
Head Count has a very boring plot. After 60 minutes I was still waiting for something significant to happen. The acting is also very weak. The movie is just a total mess. No suspense, no horror, no substance.

Head Count ist just one of many bad horror movies that turnded the genre into a trashcan.

It's really not very good.........
12 May 2022
Only at the end the movie builts up some tension. Over all the movie is not very interesting, the actors are not very convincing and there is just not enough horror.

To give this movie five stars or more is an act of mercy.

Don't waste your time on this one.

Hard times for horror fans.
18 April 2022
The latest released horror movies are really weak. The people involved seem to have forgotton what true horror means.

Every new horror movie is a slow burn now, a very boring slow burn in most cases, thanks to Mike Flanagan, the master of boring horror movies.

The Dark and the Wicked is more like The Sick and the Helpless. The horror elements just do not add up to a good and scary horror movie.

Just do not watch this little time waster.

No Exit (I) (2022)
5/10
Promoted as horror movie, which it's not.
18 April 2022
No Exit is a mediocre action thriller. What can I write more about it?

After 20 minutes almost everything ist revealed. Don't expect some interesting plot twist.

Only watch, if there's nothing else you can watch.

This movie is so much better than the recent horror movies
14 April 2022
This movie displays some really disturbing horror/terror scenes. It goes backt to the roots of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Matthew David McConaughey is very convincing in his role. I never saw a better maniac.

Viewers who disliked this movie should go back watching boring Mike Flanagan movies.
