Sin Eater
Ahh, not sure how to rate this odd movie.
It's as if they had to keep re-writing the script as movie progressed.
I don't know, it was supposed to be scary, but never really was, maybe not till the very end.
Feels more like a soap opera, a scary soap opera, I don't know, the movie didn't scare me till maybe the very end, and I mean the very end, but even then not so much as a scare as 'a What the heck'?
In that was fast forwarding the movie a lot and skipped over some key moments, so the ending didn't make sense to me until went back and watched a few scenes.
Basically ust an average scary movie, that had potential to be more, if maybe written better or had more convincing actors.
But these days, you don't get big star actors anymore, seems now days most actors in this independent studios are like one and done.
You see them once, and never ever again, like what I call film school type of actors.

Exeter
Hmm, what can I say?
This movie here has a very modern 80's or 90's college slasher feel to it, then add in some possessions and a old asylum building.
Still watching so final verdict not out yet....also add in some 'Rec' (the possessed zombie movie)
May find self fast forwarding through the first 15 minutes though, as seeing spoiled, elite college students party and act wild, no longer interesting to me.

Toy Box
This may be a good one, just started watching it, won't finish it tonight, but so far, just 5 minutes in, it's promising.

See no Evil-2006?
This one is good, and feels as if could of been released yesterday, but actually it was released in 2006, if I'm correct.
Good slasher movie, before the era of woke horror movies.

Evil dead rise, trailer, hmm Is this any good? Watching now on Amazon Prime, we shall see. Nah, movie doesn't work for me, and not sure why they used the 'Evil Dead' franchise name. It's just your usual man fantancy porror movie, you know, half naked women running around being thrashed around by demonic spirits, bad acting, and characters you don't care about, outside of their half naked bodies. Nothing more than Porror, that's corn + horror = porror. Some may like it, but nah, I guess I've just out grown movies like this. |

HellRaiser (2023)
Yep, they did a reboot or remake of Hell raiser, that dominated theaters in the 90's.
I do believe the writer or director was gay, and you can see tones of that in this new production, in that unlike other horror movies, in this one the victims are equally male, young, and modelish looking, which is usually only how females are cast in these type of movies; and I actually find it refreshing.

A quiet place part 2
I've seen this before, but forgot how 'jump scare' this movie could be, not with music, but with the 'beasts', it just catches you off guard, but that's the sign of a good scary movie, is when the scares come when you least expect them to.

Paranormal Activity, the ghost dimension
1. The women in this movie definitely weren't cast for their acting abilities, but rather for their looks, and I guess you could say the same for the male actors.
2. In this movie, it seems the humans are the props, and the ghost or demon, or demons, are the ones that carry the movie, with all of the repetitive 'jump scenes'.
3. In my opinion, way too much emphasis on the little girl, those scenes to became quite repetitive and pointless.
Still not done watching, but the pattern has been established.
a. Average to less below average actors
b. Use 'jump scare scenes' to keep the suspense going, and to annoyingly wake you up if you happen to be trying to doze off or fall asleep during the move.
What could have made it better?
If the characters didn't act so stiff and plastic, and had had more real-life human reactions, rather than movie scripted ones.
Most people, if experience what they did in this movie, scene after scene, wouldn't just blow it off, and an hour later act as if all is fine. It's as if they kept forgetting they were living in a haunted house.

Bornless ones
Watching this on Amazon Prime.
Haven't watched enough of it to give evalution yet.
One thing that gets me though, about these 'young people go to the cabin' scary movies.
It amazes me how these average dudes, guys, always end up with Miss America looking dates that accompany them on these trips to the cabins in the woods.
I mean is that really realistic?
Do hot chicks really hang out with dudes who go camping in the woods? I seriously doubt it.
Anyways, I'll review, once I get done watch whole movie.

The Innkeepers 2012
I love the main actress in this movie, and is pretty much the only reason I keep watching it on Amazon.
I think I'll just buy it though, so can watch commercial free.
Commercials and horror or scary movies just don't go together well.
