Last Seen Contemporary Movie

[Tommy Jarvis]

Wrong Turn 2: Dead End 2007 ★★★

Out of what I have seen from this franchise (How is this even a franchise in the first place? I don't know!), this one is the most fun. It was aware of the silly nature of the concept and had some fun with it. Joe Lynch? He gets it.

Recommended for people who want good, wholesome, gory fun. And for fans of Henry Rollins.

You Should Have Left 2020 ★★★★

I really enjoyed this one.

The haunted house idea was worked out well, with the appearing and disappearing rooms reminiscent of the novel House of leaves.

It gets gradually more and more scary and I like how the effects leave both you and the characters wondering about the fine line between dream/hallucination and reality.

I found Amanda Seyfried convincing as Susanna and I love Kevin Bacon, so he can't do much wrong anyway.

Candyman 2021 ★★½

The much maligned Candyman 2021. From my point of view, it's more of a sequel than a remake, but it gets mistaken as such. By the end, it should however be pretty clear that this is not the case.

It may not be great, but it's certainly not as terrible as some people say it is. The story harbours some good ideas: the main character's back story and his metamorphosis, the idea of there being several candymen over the course of history. The elevator bit is scary and the white people dying first was an obvious twist on a trope, yet well executed. And that's the main thing.

Bringing back Vanessa Williams was a good idea and I also liked Colman Domingo's performance. Granted, it helped that he gave off this “he looks familiar, let's imdb him afterwards”-vibe. In my opinion, he delivered one of the better performances on FTWD.

That said... Overall, it just did not do all that much for me. Apart from the elevator bit, there was not really anything scary. In spite of its qualities, as a horror movie, there was just too much meh for it to stand out.

Lot 36 2022 ★★★½

Lot 36 is the opener for a series of shorts created and introduced by Guillermo Del Toro. In this case, it's even based on a short story written by the man himself.

Lot 36 makes for a good opening.

The story of the army veteran with shady dealings is a good idea. Tim Blake Nelson finds the right balance between bitter, cold and harsh. Embodying the type of person that feels deeply hurt and finds nothing better than to just lash out at the world.

As one can expect from a Del Toro production, the monster delivers. It looks awesome and still manages to be not quite what you expect. And the pay-off to the old lady subplot is sound too.

45 minutes of solid entertainment. Thumbs ub, Gene. Thumbs up, Roger.

Licorice Pizza 2021 ★★½

At its core, it was a rather sweet love story. The story was nice and some of the meet cute glances worked. I mainly liked the dynamics of their friendship. How true friends end up together, no matter what their differences are.

The (Oscar) buzz? Nah.

I understand why, though. It's the type of period piece that the Academy eats up the same way millennials wolf down sriracha.

For me as a viewer, though, it just did not live up to the hype.

Graveyard Rats 2022 ★★½

Graveyard rats is kind of a mash up between Friday the 13th the TV series - the one about the antique shop - and the funnier X-Files episodes.

Not really scary, but overall entertaining. Though one of the final shots does deliver.

[Tommy Jarvis]

Donnie Darko 2001 ★★★★½

I love Donnie Darko.

I love the ultra-stoned look Gyllenhaal has over the course of the first half. I want some of the weed he's been smoking.

I love the banter between the Gyllenhaal siblings. And yes, how DOES one s**k a f**k?

I love the baby mice joke. Made me laugh harder than the average comedy from the past twenty years.

I love how pretty much every character in this movie is either a nutcase or an outcast. Making you laugh at them or feel sorry for them, all dependant on your mood at the time. Proving how much in life depends on timing.

I love how Drew Barrymore only gets a small part as the quirky teacher. (“You can sit next to the cutest boy.” I'm from Florida, that way I'll know who to bang.)

I love seeing Katharine Ross as the therapist. A gentle hommage to one of the horror greats.

I love Swayze's skeevy motivational speaker. He just sweats sleaze. Guess what? Kiddie porn. Who woulda thunk it?

And Seth Rogen is in this one? What the hell?

Most of all, I love not understanding this movie. Being mesmerized by the imagery and the film's surreal and sombre mood. In spite of it having strangely sweet moments. Knowing that there is a metaphorical layer in there, yet not getting close to seeing (through) it. Making it all the more intriguing for a rewatch. The uncertainty on wether or not all of this was a dream.

Donnie Darko weirds me out. And I love him for it.

V/H/S: Viral 2014 ★★

V/H/S Viral or how quickly can a franchise nosedive? Part 2 was one of the best found footages ever. This is a non compelling mess with both the surrounding story and the individual stories having little rhyme or reason, if any.

The worst was the parallel dimensions with a lot of inane chatter and the next door neighbours apparently having noisy sex, though for no apparant reason whatsoever. Except maybe for a lame joke.

Speaking of which, somewhere in this movie you also hear a bit of Ode to joy, because... because... because why the fuck not?

The segment about the skaters earned the second star. Predictable, but kind of fun. The only one of these stories deserving of a place in the previous installments.

Dual 2022 ★★★★

The concept intrigued me, but I did not make it when they showed it at the Bifff this year. So it became one of those movies that lurked somewhere in the back of my mind until it hit streaming platforms. And yesterday, a good moment came up to watch it.

Granted, this is more in the realm of science fiction in that it portrays the things are scientifically not yet possible.

The concept is interesting and I can imagine there being a public for it. though the vast majority of people would now waiver it as being “not the same as the real thing”.

I was firstly struck by the emotion in this movie and more the lack thereof. How thin the line can get between calm and cold/callous. At first, I did not think that much of it. Sarah throws up blood and goes to the hospital, but she will not say it's an emergency. As I am typing this review, I am reminded of testimonies on the Paris attacks in November 2015. How severely wounded people on the terraces told the emergency people all sorts of variations on “I'm fine. Go help those people, they need it more”. Then when she hearsshe is terminal, the doctors has “Normally, people cry when they they are dying” The only thing missing is the casually surprised “huh”.

That's pretty much the tone of this movie. The characters do talk about their emotions, but the way say it has a distinct “what of it”-sense to it. Only broken by the moment when Sarah/Sarah double breaks down in tears in the middle of the roundabout.

How much is a matter of the characters not being able of expressing their emotions, putting them under words? How much is social conditioning, the fear of making others uncomfortable?

It's a movie that gets you thinking. And that alone is a merit that deserves praise.

Scary Movie 2000 ★★★

Time for a rewatch of the horror parody franchise. It delivered what one would expect.

While Scream stayed a bit tongue in cheek, Scary Movie goes all out on the adolescent humor. Fart, sex and dick jokes galore. Some of them have become groanworthy, some of them are good for a chuckle.

Some of the parodies are well done and Anna Faris is perfectly cast for this type of goofy fun.

It was dumb, but it did dumb well. Certainly compared to what followed.

The Autopsy 2022 ★★½

Slow starter, but some nice gore towards the end.

Cult of Chucky 2017 ★★★

Up until now the latest entry in the Child's Play-series. That is if you don't count the 2019 reboot. But that's been 3 years as well.

It's an enjoyable entry in the series. For this one, Don Mancini left most of the cheesiness and the onelinerama behind him and focused more on the gritty, scary side of the movie. Proving once again that Chucky is a nasty little fucker. That said, there are still funny moments in there. I guess Chucky-movies will always have a bit of a crack.

I also like how they inserted Andy Barclay back into the movies. He gets a believable position in the story, with his past still haunting his (romantic) present and with Chucky still being a bully, even with the risk of a violent response. Because that's how nasty he is.

The focus, however, is mostly on Fiona Douriff. Returning here as the wheelchair bound Nita. Though that does not stop her from getting it on. What... why... how? Oh, just roll with it (no pun intended).

She is terrified of Chucky and yet, ready to take him on when he arrives. And when he does, the carnage breaks lose. Resulting in a few nicely gory kills. The chuck is back and he does not mess about.

All in all a well made movie with a lot to enjoy. Wether it's the kills, the ending with Jennifer Tilly, the multiple Chucky's or thelaugh off between father and daughter Dourif. It's different, it's a fun new twist and maybe it helped in keeping Brad on board for the future. Making it a win win. Because I don't mind seeing more of these characters. Heck, why not bring back Da Silva from part 3? Or bring back John Waters? The more, the merrier.

Werewolves of the Third Reich 2017 ★

What's not to love about this poor man's Inglorious Basterds?

- the astmatic Hitler?

- the godawful recreation of IB's bar scene

- the Aldo Raynes level accents, especially in German

- Joe Kane channeling Robert Patrick's character from FDTD2

- the hamfisted Dirty Harry hommage. While they leave other low fruit hanging ("sprechen sie talk?")

- the Wrong Turn sequel level make up effects

- the attempt at the all time f bomb record

- the inexplicable mushy soundtrack

- your Hans Landa du jour with occasional Bill Nighy vibes

It's 90 minutes of cornball fun at its worst. And I could not be happier.

[Tommy Jarvis]

Orphan 2009 ★★★★

I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

The main reason is this movie's villain. Isabelle Fuhrman delivers a career making performance as Esther. Starting off all sweet and innocent. As the psychologist later says: charming on the surface.

But then the story starts scratching said surface and Esther becomes more and more devious and caniving. Manipulating her impressionable brother and sister into a role as unwilling accomplices. And colder. In that aspect, I wonder if it was a deliberate choice to give her a Russian accent. It makes it easier for Isabelle Fuhrman to take on this calculated attitude that says: “Go on. I don't care. What are you going to prove? Nobody will believe you.” Not to say anything about her appearance. With her clothes and her coal black eyes, she gives off the same scary vibe as Damien or some of the others characters in The Omen.

The other cast members are no slouches either. Vera Farmiga is very convincing as the mother with the troubled past, struggling with both her inner demons and this complicated danger she finds herself confornted with. Peter Sarsgaard is good as the onblivious dad and I can not go without mentioning Aryana Engineer, who did a great job as the vulnerable Max.

Side note: I'm a huge X-Files fan and it's uncanny how I have the tendency to relate people back to that show. Example: whenever I see CCH Pounder, my mind always goes back to the Duane Berry-episode and sees her as the sceptical cop who eventually warms up (a bit) to Mulder.

The build up is great, with the accidents and the threats becoming ever more dangerous and deadly. Throughout all this, Esther manages to increase her grip on Danny and Max, turn the society against her adoptive mother and creep out the viewer. The big reveal is well done along with the scene where Esther/Leena hits on her father. Creepy stuff. The ending keeps you on the edge of your seat, with a satisfyingly tension conclusion. Especially the shot with Vera Farmiga caught under the ice. Knowing how people have actually died this way, it's enough to give you the willies.

If you want to do a creepy kid evening, this and The Omen should make for excellent viewing. And I am already curious about the other horrors that miss Fuhrman is in.

[Tommy Jarvis]

Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight 2 2021 ★

Remember what Dreyfus initially said about Jaws? How he’d "rather watch it than shoot it as it was going to be a ‘bitch’ to shoot"?

I would rather shoot this than watch it. It was probably a blast to shoot and it's a bitch to watch.

90 minutes of what the fuckery (with the last 30 minutes going over 9000) in an attempt at... at what exactly?

I presume some self aware goofiness in the vein of Army of darkness, Dead snow, Mortal Kombat,... except with cardboard characters and a plot that makes no sense whatsoever.

For me, killing Wanessa was the final straw. Only to be enjoyed with a group of friends and plenty of booze and snark.

The Museum Project 2016 ★★★

A solid Australian found footage, albeit a bit slow and run of the mill.

The (film school) students doing a project by now is for FF what teens hanging out, doing drugs and partying are for slashers.

Once the scares come in, the movie delivers. The scares are done okay and the ending is perfectly fine. Just the one image, anything that character could say at that moment would be redundant and silly. *chef's kiss*

Two points of criticism, though:
1) Adding more characters (and throwing suspicion on them) would make it more of a mystery. Making the final reveal more of a surprise than it is now.
2) You could also use the first act to flesh out the main characters a bit more: add things to make them more likable, add some intrigue, a few red herings maybe,... just a bit more spice to make us care more for the characters and thus more invested in the scares.

That said, it's entertaining and a nice addition to your FF collection.

And it's on YT. Check it out.

Safer at Home 2021 ★½

Worst. Bad trip. Ever.

A bland thriller about a group of friends who get together during a ²version of the Covid-pandemic. They trip on Molly, an accident happens and everything goes south. Ehmagerd, what is ai gonna do?

Except that it is neither captivating, nor exciting. Boring characters, zero or no tension. And the one present is 90 percent who cares?

First world probblems, the movie. And the crowd goes mild.

Monsterland 2 2019 ★

While writing this two days after seeing it, all I remember is the Mom-from-Sleepaway-camp delivery in the opening scenes.

I think that says something too.

Dirty Mind 2009 ★★★

A story about a shy nerd stuntman who turns into a perverted womanizer after an accident.

Comedian Wim Helsen is solid as Diego/Tony. I liked Franck Focketyn as the diva actor and Peter Van Den Begin is one of those reliable actors who always deliver a good performance.

Also fun to see a lot of Belgian tv/movie regulars come by, like Maaike Neuville, Manou Kersting and Sien Eggers. And Marc Didden had a cameo. That's nice.

I can't say that it stood out all that much, but it was entertaining overall.

[Tommy Jarvis]

Spell 2020 ★★★★

Looking at the cast and some of the themes in this movie, one cannot help thinking that the success of Get Out helped in getting this project green lit. Having studio execs see that this kind of story gets bums in seats certainly does no harm.

Does this contribute to your viewing experience? Is this in any way relevant? Depends on how you look at it, I guess. On the one hand, the story is told from a certain perspective that adds a different context with its own metaphors. That said, one quality Spell shares with Jordan Peele-films is that you can both enjoy it on a deeper level as well as on a surface level as some sort of bouillabaisse of Misery, Deliverance, The Wicker Man,... even though, granted, this is less subtle than the average Jordan Peele-film. You don't really have to read between the lines in this one.

On a surface level, we see a businessman named Marquis and his family fly to the Appalachians for the funeral of his father. During a storm, their plane crashes and Marquis wakes up with what at first looks like a sweet old lady and her husband. However, it becomes apparent quite quickly that there is a lot more under the surface. With the couple and their friends/neighbours dabbling in voodoo, magic and impromptu surgery.

The horror comes at several levels. The physicial horror, ie the gore, is used sparsely, but very effectively. The one bit with the long nail will haunt you after the screening.

More prevalent is the psychological horror. First of all, Marquis has to worry about his family, which leads to a red hering which touches on the theme of cannibalism.

Or how he has to deal with the demons from his past. In short term like his abusive father, who turns out to be no stranger to voodoo himself. Or in long term with his father using images related to racism and slavery.

And last but not least, there is more than one spot with traces of hope being crushed, before we get to the ending.

You could argue on which ending would fit the narrative. Would it benefit more from the current one, which does not leave the family unscathed, or from a bleaker ending which would be more in the line of the before mantioned Wicker Man or, say, Eden Lake? Hard for me to say.

What I can is that a) both popcornhounds and cinephiles will find things to enjoy here and that b) this gem does not deserve to go under the radar.

The Outside 2022 ★★★

The fourth episode of Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet of curiosities follows Stacey, a young woman trying desperately to better herself and find acceptance from her colleagues.

Kate Miccucci shines as Stacey. You can really sense the insecurity, the sense of not belonging and the determination to do so. Even after her husband delivers a passionate speech about everything that makes his wonderful, she still sticks to her goals. And honestly, after seeing a few scenes with this group of desperate housewives... Why anyone would yearn for the respect and friendship of these people is beyond me.

The atmosphere swings back and forth between eerie, awkward and funny. Like Stacey literally standing outside the circle of friends she wants to be a part of. Or her exchanges with the tv commercial guy who for some reason kind of reminded me of papa from Stranger Things. Or the fact that Micucci at times seems to be chanelling Jordy Verrill. Probably partly due to the way she is made up, both making her look more tired and beaten down and her eyes bigger and, for lack of a better word, more bulgey.

In closing, I like the vagueness of the ending. Is this real? Is this a dream? Will she wake up with everything going to hell?

Doctor Sleep 2019 ★★

In retrospect, I consider myself lucky to have found this DVD in the bargain bin.

An attempt at a sequel to one of the most iconic horror films ever is at worst doomed to fail from the start and at best be a good film that's perceived as underwhelming.

On the upside, there is the interview scene with the priest, turning around the dynamics from The Shining. Rebecca Ferguson does a very good job as Rose the Hat.

Then again, there are the things that leave to be desired.

First of all, there is the opening act. The idea of bringing back iconic characters is a nonstarter here, because it is bound to look like a cheap knockoff. The people replacing Shelly Duval and Scatman Carruthers tried their best, but it just did not work.

Ewan Mcgregor is an accomplished actor with some iconic roles to his credit, but I just did not buy him as adult Danny Torrence.

The special effects were neither impressive nor scary for the most part. And for all the Shang Tsung-ing that's going on in this movie, the main confrontation is just a gun fight.

But the biggest disappointment comes at the end, when they go back to the Overlook hotel. With a lot of moments where we are supposed to lose our shit, because oh-my-god-he-did-the-thing and ehmagerd, I remember that from the other movie. And me? I just did not feel much at all.

[Tommy Jarvis]

Pickman’s Model 2022 ★★★★

The artist who gets enchanted by a piece of art. Right up until the point where he starts having hallucinations who end up endangering and even hurting his family.

Nothing shocking, but well done. Solid execution and good gore. And Crispin Glover is always good as a creepy weirdo.

Sometimes They Come Back 1991 ★★½

The crew behind the King-adaptation looks promising with the director of Jason Lives, one of the leads from the seventies version of the Body Snatchers and... holy shit, it's Grady!

Is it entertaining? Yes. Is it well acted? Yeah. Is it scary? Hmmz.

There seems to be somthing odd about King-adaptations. While I will never question the genius of Stephen King's books, the movie adaptations of his books always seem to be all or nothing. Either they work and the movies become iconic (Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, The Shining, Carrie,...) or they don't… live up to their full potential. This one falls into the second category (together with, say, Tommyknockers).

For some reason, King-adaptations are either briljant or veer towards the silly. The moment you are not fully invested, it's easy to consider the movie as silly and goofy. McLoughlin does not moment to make the scary atmopshere and the acting is too over the top to be scary, though the three greasers, and especially Robert Rusler, show that they are capable of being scary.

Kiss the Girls 1997 ★★½

A decent serial killer flick, albeit a bit too by the numbers to stick out and the final reveal was a bit too predictable to earn the third star.

Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman were solid leads. And Cary Elwes had an easier task keeping up the accent than in Saw.

Good as a popcorn churner.

Anna and the Apocalypse 2017 ★★★

Title and trailer are solid gold.

The acting is solid. Ella Hunt makes you care for Anna and Paul Kaye is a great heel.

The idea is good for a chuckle and the execution is pretty good. The zombie kills were well done and the makers had some of the tropes of the zombie genre down, like the self sacrifice and the emotional farewell. Heck, some of the songs even had a good hook or a decent groove...

But, at the end of the day, it's still a solid zombie film wrapped inside a musical. And musicals and me... To me, musicals is still that one scene – I can't remember the movie: one character is telling the other to be quiet and then, two minutes later, the both of them are lustily and boisterously singing.

This is about as close as I can come to enjoying a musical, and that's an accomplisment in itself as well. So kudos to them for that.

Djinn 2013 ★★★★½

What a pleasant surprise.

It immediately started with the opening credits. Tobe Hooper? Has to be one of his last directorial efforts, right? Let's imdb. It's his last? Right on.

It focusses on a family who recently lost their child due to unclear efforts. As a reaction, they decide to leave the US and move back a place called Al Hamra on the outskirts of Dubai. Well, decide,... the therapist and her husband pretty much coerce the main character Salama into doing so.

Immediately, everything about their new home is off. Resulting in an eerie, offputting atmosphere with nods to both The Omen and The Shining. From the ever present fog to dogs keeping Salama from leavng the hotel. Or the other people in the hotel. Sammy and his eerie politeness seems to channel Lloyd the bartender while Sarah the neighbor has bits of the seduction scene in The Shining. The only comic relief being Salam's father. A walking dad joke with a matching belt size. Expecially when he “threatens” the ghosts in the desert. Man, you ain't even shooting Urkel, let alone these mofos.

Having read the other reviews, the final reveal was pretty clear from the get go. And I guess the perspective worked (too) well on me. But I will not apologise for enjoying it and being suck(er)ed in by mister Hooper.

Dolores Claiborne 1995 ★★★★

An emotionally intense drama in which two women deal with troubles, demons and traumas.

Selena, who is repressing them, running away from and at first lashing out at people who bring it up.

Dolores, who knows what she did and why she did it and does not feel the need to justify her actions to people who in her eyes don't know anything.

Two broken women come together and find each other in a beautiful story. The hearing scene went a bit too far in the melodrama, but that is pretty much the only piece of criticism I can come up with.

Jennifer Jason Leigh is solid as Selena and Kathy Bates really excels as Dolores. The sort of great performance one can expect from the woman who won an Oscar for Misery.

Is this a good King expectation? I can't say since I have not read the book yet.

Is this a good movie? That I can certainly confirm.

[Tommy Jarvis]

The Orphanage 2013 ★★

Kid ends up in an orphanage where the HR department seems to be run by either Nurse Ratchett or Miss Trunchbull. I mean, the supposed lead doctor – what's his face – goes from calm to losing his shit at speeds you only see in car commercials. What the hell?! Even the staff at the halfway house in Friday the 13th: A new beginning would look at this guy and be like: shame on you.

The result is that you end up caring for the main character, at least a little.

Overall, not all that impressive. Too much relying on ominous music and too little actual scares.

American Psycho 2000 ★★★★

There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this, there is no catharsis; my punishment continues to elude me, and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing. - Patrick Bateman

One of my all time favorite movies.

Christian Bale delivers perhaps the first career defining performance. He perfectly encapsulates Patrick Bateman in all hs cynicism, disdain, brattiness, vanity, shallowness,... The moments when he looks at himself in the mirror while having sex with two prostitutes.now that's hilarious.

It's sometimes hammy as hell, with the card scene as the prize winner. And the best thing is: you never know if it's real or not. Is this really happening? Are these people really as self absorbed and vein? Are they really this hollow? These bollocks running windbags with the money to live this lifestyle? Or is it all happening in the warped fantasy of Patrick Bateman?

From the other cast members, the only one that really comes close is Willem Dafoe. Not sure if true, but apparently, they did alternate takes of the interrogations was either clueless or completely on to Bateman and sees through him. Which makes his character extra odd, yet in a suitable way.

We all remember the chainsaw bit, but on the gore level, this movie is quite tame. Most of it is shown through suggestion, like the bit with the hanger and even the axe scene was not all that explicit.

A great piece of satire and dark comedy.

You are dead on in this review...such a great film and Judy Parfitt stands out as the demanding bitch employer who may have more insight into Dolore's world than first thought.

The book is good, but it's Dolores telling her story and written in the vernacular of a hardscrabble not very well educated Mainer

[FryeDwight]

CLAWED (2008). Lovely Washington state scenery sort of helps lame script and acting. A group of College students investigate the possible existence of a Bigfoot like creature with the usual mayhem occurring. Tellingly, these people are so obnoxious You don't really mind. **
