The Last Amityville Movie (2023)
A Great way to end this long running franchise!
There are over 50 movies in the Amityville franchise; the first two are great, and a few others are pretty decent. Many of them just named their movie Amityville to connect it to the original. This movie is something different. Not only does it connect to the original, but it also is connected to every other film in the franchise up until now. The writing was beautiful and original. The entire cast has the chemistry you only get from people who really know each other. Not since Amityville 2: The Possession have I enjoyed an Amityville movie so much. This movie has excellent pacing, it moves along very well. There are multiple parts that will make you laugh, and smile, and there are some great creepy moments as well, with scares as well. Avoiding all spoilers, this movie is one of the best sequels in this very large franchise, definitely, one you need to check out.
Ginger Snaps (2000)
OVERRATED!
This movie is not a good werewolf movie. It's more a giant hairless rat movie. There's no character development with the two main girls. Neither have any growth at all in the movie. There are dozens of better werewolf movies out there. I feel like the younger generation may enjoy this movie. But as a child of the 80s, this was a huge disappointment. I did not enjoy the special effects as well. The monster didn't look anything like a werewolf.
The movie explores themes of puberty, transformation, and sisterhood. While these themes can be interesting, this is executed poorly making all of it very predictable, resulting in a lack of depth or subtlety in the storytelling.
The acting was not up to par, it felt like a high school production at times.
