Hereditary (2018)
It has its moments, but it is not a masterpiece.
The movie was alright. Although I definitely understand people's frustrations with the ending. It's 2+ hours long, and it is a very slow burn getting to the last 15 minutes, where there was so much crammed in, that you can't help but laugh at the messy way in which it's wrapped up.
Personally, I didn't hate it like a lot of people, but ultimately, it's a forgettable movie. It's definitely not a milestone of horror like some people claim.

Take a shot every time Nick Adams adjusts his pants.

Use Your Eyes, Morons
This was awesome in every way. People complaining about the content clearly didn't read the description of the movie. It said exactly what the content was. The best of R40 mixed with behind the scenes stuff.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
Don't Listen to the Negative Reviews
I'm convinced that all of the people who are giving this movie a bad review have never actually seen a post-1954 Godzilla movie. I've read a lot about the story and the performances being subpar, but so what? Who loves Godzilla movies for what the humans bring to the table? And for the record, I had no problem following the story, and I thought all the actors did a great job.
The main parts of this movie are the monsters, and they do not disappoint. Godzilla is everything we hoped he would be in 2014, and Ghidorah is possibly the best iteration of the character ever.
Simply put, if you love Godzilla and other giant monsters battling and destroying everything in sight, then you will enjoy this movie.
House of the Wolf Man (2009)
What you would probably expect, little else.
I saw this movie at the Ligonier screening a few weeks back, and I just wanted to comment on the film. First, I believe the filmmaker's hearts were in the right place, and overall, the movie is entertaining for what it is.
Having said that, the film definitely has its flaws. First,the acting. I understand that working on a small budget won't yield Pacino-like results, but the acting was unnecessarily hammy. I'm not sure if they were directed to be so over-the-top, but it took away from the film, I think. Second, the story. The first 40 minutes or so set up a film that would probably require at least another 50 to properly end, but this ended at a little more than an hour. The ending was too abrupt, and quite frankly, confusing. But that's only my humble opinion. And third, the use of Ron Chaney. Now I've met him several times at conventions, and he's a super-nice guy, but unfortunately, the acting gene wasn't passed down. I think his performance GREATLY took away from the film, and really he was only there for name recognition, so that was unfortunate. Lastly, the monsters. They all made the briefest of appearances, and I think calling the film "House of the Wolf Man" definitely wrote a check the movie didn't cash. Although I thought the makeup for the Wolf Man and the Monster were very well-done.
I really hate to say anything negative about this film, I wanted so bad to like it (including driving 5 hours to the premier). But I want to be honest. Again as a classic monster fan, I truly appreciate the effort of the filmmakers. I just wish that they would've put a little more thought into making a good product, and not so much effort trying to be a period horror film. The horror movies from the 20's to 60's are all great to me, but lately they are mostly terrible. I think a modern, well-done "HotWM" would've sufficed.
