Sisu: Road to Revenge
A silly over the top action film that will easily appeal to the fan.
If you are looking for a action film that has some over the top set pieces that do not relent, then the Sisu sequel is perfect for you.
It's nothing complex but its extremely fun.

Outbreak.
The grief element of the film is used as the main crux however this is easily the weakest part by far.
The film then throws in an infection plot just to make things interesting however the twist spoils this

Train Dreams
A calm and peaceful film that captivates throughout.
Featuring a brilliant performance by Joel Edgerton and some amazing cinematography, this is a film to soothe you rather numbing your brain with loud explosions.
This is comfort viewing at its best.

Wicked: for Good
The difficult second act barley manages to work.
Both Erivo and Grande try to make the basic songs shine and they do a good job of it.
It's thanks to them and Goldberg that this manages to saunter along, if it wasn't for them this would be a empty slog.

Die'ced Reloaded
No words can describe how awful this film is.
From its abysmal acting, to its extreme usage of AI in its music and sfx, to its overall tone and feel, this is terrible filmmaking at its ultimate best.

Keeper.
It has all of the elements to make a very interesting movie.
The acting is very good, the setting has a very creepy and lived in feel, the music is very suited to the setting and the story has interest.
It is a pity that Osgood Perkins doesn't know how to meld these ideas together.

Dream Eater
I really wanted to like this more than I did.
The tension never felt like it was there as when it tries to build it the over usage of non diegetic audio and the interstitial cuts spoil it.
It was still watchable but nothing special.

A good enough distraction that you probably won't fully remember.
The animation is perfectly serviceable, there are moments of good humor and the story has just enough charm to keep you interested.
It is a pity though that its not memorable enough to have any impact.

Now you see me: Now you Don't
The perfect example of a snoozefest.
Every actor involved do not care what they are saying or doing as there is no care or attention in the film.
It plods along explaining everything, treating the audience as dumb idiots.
We are as we watched this boring mess.

The Home
The film never finds its way out of being average.
Pete Davison does his best with a very stoic script and by the books story no matter how strange things get.
The film as feels muddled at times using slight shock tactics to paste over the uneven gaps.

Whilst there is nothing overtly wrong with The Running Man the film never rises above being average.
If it wasn't for the very committed performance by Powell the film would of faulted even more.

Meat Kills
The first Dutch film to get the dreaded NC-17 and I couldn't see why.
Yes it will please gore hounds however it doesn't go to the extremes like the French can.
It is still an enjoyable contained horror film where you don't care who dies.

What could of been a fun cheesy zombie film, turns out to be very average at best.
Whilst there are moments of entertainment these are few and very far between.
The humor never hits and the horror is not present.

Frankenstein
Not del tori's best but still very good.
As with all of his films the style and world that the film exists in is both beautiful and darkly depressing with a story that just manages to hold your attention.
It falters with its CGI and its pacing in the first half.

Nothing of note happens in the film not only to stand out but to also entertain.
The acting is very basic, the script has nothing going for it and the kills are way to simple.

As a action film this works pretty well as there is more than enough action to keep you interested throughout.
The humor and buddy connection also works thanks to Elle Fanning.
It's biggest problem though is that as a predator movie it unfortunately fails.

A movie of ideas that doesn't know which one it wants to go with.
The film borrows a lot from different genres within horror and doesn't manage to meld them together in a good enough feature.
There is a bit of promise here but I wished that Stuckman kept with on idea.

Comedy and horror can work well hand in hand, Coyotes however is unable to meld the two genres together as this is a completely forgettable film.
The pacing is extremely off, the CGI of the Coyotes is very bad, its forgets to be funny and the horror is basic at best.
