If I Die (2018)
Had to stop wasting my time and destroying my eardrums.
I'm constantly looking for horror and thriller movies to feed the inner junkie, and happened upon this one. It grabbed my attention by being based on actual events, so I gave it the good college try that I give every movie, including those I never finish. And this is getting added to that list.
Super slow beginning, but that's not even the reason for the low rating. What made me unable to continue watching was the super low audio. And I'm not talking my tv's volume being low; Prime is abnormally loud on my tv. I'm talking about the voices. Everything else was a nice, audible volume, but I couldn't hear the people's voices. It's like they didn't have mics on set or something. And I wasn't going to crank up the volume and deafen myself with all the other noises just to hear people speaking.
Unforgotten: Twenty-Five Years After Willowbrook (1996)
If you have sensitive ears, turn your volume DOWN and turn on subtitles.
Barely two minutes into this, I had to mute the TV and focus on the subtitles. I would not have been able to watch otherwise. I'm a documentary addict, and I've been watching a lot to do with Willowbrook lately, so I was looking forward to this one. But when the music started, it almost woke up my partner, it did wake up our cats, and it almost triggered a migraine for me. Mind you, my tv volume stays at or below 10 (super quiet) when my partner is in bed so I don't wake him up.
Now onto a review of the documentary content itself: this is a much different view of the institution than what I've seen previously. Of course, until now, I've only seen things involving Willowbrook after it was shut down and abandoned.
The Amityville Haunting (2011)
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
Seriously, though. I thrive on horror movies, watch them every day. Usually before bed. Been reading the King since early double digits, so it takes a lot to get me jumping. But this movie? A kindergartener could have done better. And spelled better. How hard is it to spell check papers you "show" the audience, with the misspelled words in plain view?
