The Perfect Tenant (2000)
Super dumb
Jessica, a working mother and landlady has got to be the most dumbest character I've seen in a film. She took on a new tenant without checking him and then dropped her daughter into trouble by informing this evil tenant what she heard. This woman and her moron father ignored the warning alarms that tenant was giving off. Only the daughter grew suspicious but her mother wouldn't believe it. A silly and predictable film. Also it annoys me that Hollywood thinks mental illness is evil and that evil runs in the family.
Someone Is Watching (2000)
She's not too old
At first I thought this woman was too old to be playing the mother of a small child. As I continued to watch it, I found out the boy was adopted by her! I had to look her up because she looked so familiar, now I know. The film was okay but very cheesy. That neighbour played by Margot Kidder (RIP) was a little too over enthusiastic and a pushy neighbour. The landlord is creepy. The last half hour was an annoying cat and mouse.
House of Mystery (1934)
A little mystery
The theme is nice and supernatural, nearly but it's a murder mystery. I didn't expect there to be comedy too. I found the film in the first half hour interesting but the second was silly. The policemen were comics and it became too over the top daft. I like old films but this one was just not my kind of thing. The ending felt rushed and I wanted to see a bit more to round it off.
For My Daughter's Honor (1996)
Distressing
A 14 year old girl is seduced by her teacher, who is also the football coach, and things go too far. It was a very gross film as the teacher was a pervert and a predator, but it seemed everyone blamed the innocent girl. Once it all was revealed, the entire school backed the teacher pedophile, and even the girl's own friends turned cold on her. Only her parents were supportive of her. The film just shows how miserable things can be when kids are sexually abused by elders and nothing is done about it if the adults are popular and respected.
Earth Angel (1991)
I nearly fell asleep
The story is unoriginal, and the acting is bad. The main character playing the ghost is too much silliness and annoying. I couldn't take anymore of it and stopped watching halfway through. Many people have given it positive big ratings, perhaps its because of the cars and music, but the film is just daft. What kids made that?
A Deadly Silence (1989)
Brother with big hair
It was a serious film, the story is very sad and also horrible. The fact no one else reported the man abusing his daughter is shocking. Although a disturbing story, the silly hairstyle worn by the brother was distracting and quite ridiculous.
Praying Mantis (1993)
Brilliant tv movie
This is such an underrated film made for TV. A villain bride prays on men with the purpose to marry them and kills them. Okay without going into too much spoilers, the dresses and jewels are beautiful, the food looks appetising and the rest is classy. Jane Seymour plays the killer and she does it really well.
Betrayed: A Story of Three Women (1995)
Quite slow
This isn't one of the best 90's lifetime films. It's annoying as well as frustrating and silly. The man having an affair is punished by being made to stay at a hotel, while the spurned wife assaults her best friend all because she knew about it and was worried abut telling her. The characters are all dull. While she quickly makes up with her cheating husband she is still angry towards her friend. I wondered when it was going to finish.
Family of Lies (2017)
LOL
It was okay at first, but the ending was terrible. Endings are what round a film and this didn't. The writers need to go to lessons. It made the film bad. Talk about coming back from the dead.
Hansel e Gretel (1990)
Slow and dry
The story is familiar with the fairytale, as both brother and sister are also named Hansel and Gretel. Instead of getting lost in woods and finding a gingerbread house, they're both fascinated by a car, and two men kidnap them and take them to a heavily secured building. Inside is a clinic full of scientists who work in illegal experiments. The poor kids are chosen as organ donors and they die in the process. Their ghosts return from the grave seeking revenge on all those involved. What happens are some gruesome scenes, as the kids behave like monsters. I found the tune being hummed by the kids throughout the film mostly annoying. I expected more to this film but the story became predictable.
Teenage Zombies (1959)
Famous 5 meets horror
Well not Famous Five but Famous 4 and later the Famous 6. It's very cheesy and silly but has a lot of 1950's charm that makes me feel a pine to go back there in time and live during that decade. It was a nice film, a mystery and adventure more than science fiction. The scary was some of the zombies including Reg the servant, and also the mad scientist woman who looked very stunning.
Loon Lake (2019)
Miserable
This film was so depressing I had to give it a pass, and refused to watch anymore, once we learned his wife died three months ago and she was pregnant. The dreary background score, the lacklustre characters and the storyline were just all so boring.
Dragon (2006)
Sorry but...
I found it difficult to sit still. The film was just dull and boring. I love fantasy totally, dragons and the like. I tried hard to give this film a chance, but halfway through I was wondering when it will go on. It was like watching paint dry. It had some people dressed up in a forest, playing with swords and arrows, then a dragon you hardly ever see. It was mainly chit chat, and zero mystery, no action or adventure. The only nice thing was the scenes of mountains and forests.
Dead of Night (1977)
ok but not fantastic.
The first film was the nicest of the three films in this anthology. It was a bit fantasy but not horror. The second was a disappointment. I'm still wondering what people have put out in the doors and windows because there isn't anything to see. The third was a horror. Most 70's films are insensitive and the third story was quite sad then it turned insane. Ok to watch during a rainy evening,
Deadly Due Date (2021)
Pretty good although...
There are some holes in this. Recent films have been giving pregnant women superhuman abilities and strength beyond anything normal. This is the only thing that fails a good tense film. The mother-in-law was over the top and quite surreal, but onto the other characters. The husband and wife couple are very nice people where butter wouldn't melt in their mouths. The villain is just pregnant and evil all because her school crush didn't marry her, but how many decades ago was it since they were last at school???? The police are never called in these films, and when they are the police don't seem bothered.
Old Flames Never Die (2022)
What happened to lifetime films?
Lifetime films used to be relatable, whether or not based on true stories. The past couple of years have seen a new brand of lifetime that is out of touch with the actual world. None of the houses in this particular film are ordinary and none of the people are realistic. The villain is just creepy and son of a sheriff, who kills people whenever. The ending was silly and wouldn't happen for real.
Cheer Camp Killer (2020)
Oh!
I like films about cheerleaders but this one was dire. I fell asleep during it and had to watch the rest another night. The title of this doesn't make sense at all. No one dies in it so who is the killer? I'm wondering this. The story might've been better if it had been animated and not using cheesy actors. The villains are quite pathetic really.
Dying to Belong (2021)
Unexpected
The first half of this movie was happy and cheerful but then all of it suddenly changed. It went really dark, then sad, creepy and scary. It shows how disturbing college hazing really is.
Rule of 3 (2020)
I know who did it
The killer is later on revealed if you watch closely. However I was also disappointed with the result because the film leads you up the garden path. I didn't like the silly music put in places, making out the film is a spoof when it was supposed to be serious. I didn't know what genre I was watching anymore. I like murder mysteries but not tricks, where the film writers want to confuse the audience and that doesn't make sense. The personality of the killer doesn't fit the way the cheating husband was murdered in cold blood. No sense of realism or actual humanity. The characters are just cheesy types the ditsy blonde, the unsmiling and unfriendly rich woman and the nice brunette who is the main protagonist. People can't make good films anymore.
The Wretched (2019)
Creepy horror
This film was very good. In places I actually felt cold chills watching this. A well made horror film, full of surprises and a really horrible entity that planted itself in the neighbourhood, which is really a holiday resort. A lot of nasty gore sometimes, not too much, and also a bit of gothic romance, and folklore theme. I found this scary and also interesting.
The Dwarves of Demrel (2018)
Darkness
Three beards are trapped inside a mountain because of a mine collapsing. They have to find a way out but they're running out of rations and light. Various tunnels lead to dead ends but they find generators inside with little juice left. Some creature is living inside the caves and a woman appears, heavily masked and covered as she's not able to breath inside the caves as the dwarfs are. A very talky film, claustrophobic and frustrating. A mundane story, well acted and leaving one wondering.
Born of Hope (2009)
Not interesting
It's just a poor version of LOTR, and just unoriginal. Whenever the main character narrates the beginning of the film, it's always going to be bad. This lacked any tension and it seemed over the top. It seemed desperate. I love fantasy films but they need a good story with some new ideas. No more orcs please.
I Still See You (2018)
Trying too much
The film is based on a book, which I haven't read, but usually films based on books miss a lot of ingredients from the book. A man-made disaster causes the deaths of many people around a certain lab, with unusual experiments. It follows a young woman who lost her father in that disaster, and how she can see his ghost. Certain links with a serial killer, and the only help she can get is with a guy from her class.
The film was pretty depressing, and the annoying music throughout was interfering. Parts of the film was well done although the ending was nonsense. The idea and concept is good, but not executed well.
Wraith (2017)
TV ghost story
Not a horror but a lifetime ghost film. This was a nice film and the mansion was gorgeous. The house is old and haunted. The teenaged girl is not as rude and obnoxious as other teens in most films today, which is kind of a breath of fresh air. I found the story a mystery and not actually a horror as such. There was a ghost, some strange bumps in the night and a hidden chamber that no one knew was there before. I don't want to spoil it all but I can't help but say its a good film, and ignore the negative reviews.
Trick or Treat (1986)
Very 80's style
If you're going to watch an 80's film you'll expect to see mullet hairdos. It made me laugh when one of the students said to the protagonist (heavy metal fan Eddie) "You should be normal" because they ALL look the same to me! There were cameos from big stars, although Ozzy Osbourne was playing a vicar so it was a tongue in cheek/weirdness. The music in this isn't "death metal" at all but those saying it is, know zero about metal! And Sam the evil entity who was a dead rock star looked like he was out from the 70's glam rock era, as it looked as though he was in platforms. 80's horror is good but this one turned out messy.
