Twisted Tales

Twisted ,Pointless ,Tedious Tales...

(Edit) 04/01/2018

Oh My Goodness, where to start with this . Firstly, I Love Anthology Movies ,they are one of my favorites to watch,

BUT.. this one i really couldn't wait for it to end ... It was Painfully Bad .Painfully Slow and Painfully Badly Made .

Tedious is a Better description for these Tales.

Stay Away ...unless you are having trouble getting to sleep

What We Do in the Shadows

What we do ? ...Take the pee apparently.

(Edit) 04/01/2018

First of all, This was Enjoyably Fun. Very Silly and Entertaining.

Once you have watched half way through the joke gets a bit thin ,and it is after all a One Trick Pony .

Still very entertaining but I did find I had really had enough by the end. so i really couldn't face watching any of the extras .

any more would have been overkill.

The Human Centipede 3: Final Sequence

Human Centi-tedious !

(Edit) 30/12/2017

As a Fan of both part 1 and 2 ,The Human Centipede segment 3 was Horribly Grating.

I thought it was an interesting idea to re use the 2 stars of the previous movies, and thought in the first that Dieter Laser was incredibly good as the Creepy Doctor . sadly that must have all been Fluke as in this he is Terrible and Annoying and far Too Shouty .

If he hadn't been in it I would have enjoyed it far more , his Histrionics were childish ,Headache making and took up too much of the film.

Bad Santa 2

Bad Bad Santa ..Good Good Movie .

(Edit) 30/12/2017

If you have seen the first Bad Santa you know exactly what to expect .

All the same main cast ,which is really nice to see after soo long, with the addition of the Fantastic Kathy Bates .

The creepy yet sweet Thurman Murman was delightfully creepy again . and brought a tear to the eye at the right moments.

Santa was very BAD , which is good , and also deeply Good which was also good. Great Fun was had by all.

A Great Seasonal Movie. worth seeing each Christmas .

Holidays

Holiday Horrors !

(Edit) 23/12/2017

A very entertaining Anthology Movie. in the same style as the 'ABC of Death' series,only this time surrounding Celebration times in the year. and interestingly NOT all the usual and obvious ways you can think of thankfully, making this a rather interesting watch .

With Mothers day, Fathers day, Valentines,St Patrick's day,Halloween, Easter,Christmas and New Year there is plenty of scope for all kinds of mayhem and murder. Using the talents of 8 Different Directors and 8 different skewed visions of Horror throughout the year its well worth a second watch .and if like me Anthology Movies are a particular favorite then one for the collection to watch and watch again.

Now You See Me 2

Now you see me 2 ...

(Edit) 23/12/2017

I really liked the First 'Now You See Me' and was sad t o see a slight change to the cast in this the second movie ,But was very entertained by the slick and clever trickery and choreography on offer in Part 2. and nice to have a few more revelations along the way .

Like the First Movie the Horsemen are on the side of Right ,even though they are International Criminals ,and pull of yet more audacious trickery to get ther job done . a few new faces and a few old ones showing up on the journey that takes us around the world From the US to the UK via the Orient .Great Entertainment , and unlike a lot of Action/Crime movies ,suitable for ALL the family .

Broken

Broken...I was by the end .

(Edit) 18/12/2017

Not a BAD Movie but a Very,very Boring one....by the time the End came I was left feeling pretty Broken too. You knew what the end would be pretty early on......you just had to Wait soooo long to get there . Tedium set in. you certainly know how the main character felt by the end you felt you had been a Home carer for an Arsehole and his Friends too.

Krampus: The Reckoning

Krap us.

(Edit) 13/12/2017

Really low budget horror. Horribly bad CGI Krampus and a Story line that just doesnt add up.

Really don't waste your time or money on this one unless you want to see EVERYTHING made about the Krampus.

This has Terrible Acting, Terribe Effects and just a Really Stupid Story . Not the Traditional Krampus at all but something that Kills people on the demand of a small girl who uses voodoo to kill. and a Truly crap twist ending that isnt so much a Twist as a 'Dallas/Bobby in the Shower/Dream' style Cop Out !

The Visit

Worth a Visit !

(Edit) 13/12/2017

a movie that surprised more than i expected . Not being a Fan of M Night Shyamalan I wouldn't have rented this had i realised it was his work...BUT.

It as actually pretty good. Would have been Far Better had it not been made as if the Children in the movie were filming it all themselves , hand held video cam/found film footage /spy cam etc... movies are getting pretty tedious now.

The Children are pretty good actors but to have them in Every scene was a bit wearisome and felt a bit like you were Babysitting instead of just enjoying a movie .

However. apart from the Hand held Camera nature of its production and the Children being the main part of the film it actually becomes rather sinister . Great Twisted Ending . could have done without the tagged on Family Together bit at the very end ,but the Climax was worth the wait .Sadly it could have been a lot Better and More Traumatic /Horrific but as it stands This is a pretty watchable movie. Not his greatest work,but certainly worth more than one viewing .

Housebound

Housebound. not as tedious as it sounds...

(Edit) 09/12/2017

As a sufferer of Agoraphobia I did think it was gong to be rather Harowingly Claustraphobic but it was actually a rather Darkly Funny Surprise.

A Nasty ,Aggressive, Angry Petty Criminal gets sentenced to live with her Dull Parents in House Arrest for 8 Months as punishment for an attempted and failed robbery .

Is the House Haunted ?

Miss NO Charm and her slightly gormless Mother and Very quiet Step Father soon find out .

Some Shocks, Some Twists and Some Gore ...but mostly i found it Hilariously Funny .Nothing Slapstick or Comedic as such , but Funny as its possible to be with a Nasty Bitch being Bitchy about Everything and not giving a Fig who she upsets.

Origin Wars

Origin ? Wars ? ?

(Edit) 09/12/2017

Strange Prison Planet Story, not at all bad except for the Creature Effects .

Thankfully NOT Hideous CGI ,but something rather akin to Jim Hensons Dark Crystal Baddies.

Prisoners being Experimented on to make the Ultimate Killing Machine to clear New Planets of Resident Lifeforms leaving them Barren for Human Colonization........That Ultimate Killer being a Skeksis type Hand Puppet Creature apparently ? who knew ?

Other than this, its not a bad Sci-fi movie. all other effects ,Ships,Space stations etc...were rather high end and the acting not at all bad .

The Rift

Rift .....

(Edit) 09/12/2017

Not the movie I was expecting, I had looked up on Youtube what I had thought was the movie i was getting and it wasn't this strange film...also called 'The Rift' apparently .

This one was a bit of everything and as such a bit confused but not,in all ,a Bad movie ,With Zombies, Time travel, Astronauts,Spies,Moon landings and possibly Aliens? ...none the wiser.

Interesting . but would have rather seen the Film i thought it was going to be .

The Darkness

Dark..mess.

(Edit) 09/12/2017

I cant even remember what this was all abut... i remember Dirty hand Prints all over the place ........not much else stayed with me to be honest.

5x Mystical stones....that was it...Native American Tribal Demons. trapped by the stones ,a child takes the stones and lets the Demons free.

Not a Good Movie by any means, but watchable, if you can find something else on the list to watch that interests you ,then choose that instead.

Let Her Out

Let her Out ? ...she seems to have her own key !!!

(Edit) 30/11/2017

Slow to get going ,was starting to loose interest then the revelation comes finally .Sadly no real explanation about what happens at the beginning of the movie,apart from the obvious, but after the finally Movie gets going it sadly confuses itself thinking it is The Grudge and kind of rips that off massively. Shame there wasn't More of the Skin Shedding and Less of the Strangling and Dodgy pointless painting.
