Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed

StanislausGinger Snaps 2: Unleashed(2004) 

englanti What I wrote about the first one could be applied here: dodgy visual effects vs. great makeup and gloomy music. Unlike a lot of horror sequels, this one doesn't find itself among cinema’s dross, and that's also because the main focus is not on hectolitres of blood being spilled, but also on the psychology of the characters (especially Ghost), and the sanitarium setting is cherry on top.

Psyko II

StanislausPsyko II(1983) 

englanti It's even close to the first Psycho, if only because it's in colour. On the other hand, the protagonist, the unpredictable plot with apt music and the suspense until the end, those have remained.

Bubble Boy

StanislausBubble Boy(2001) 

englanti A fairly original theme, but it is not fully developed and instead has rather awkward scenes, dialogues and characters.

Haamumorsian

StanislausHaamumorsian(2008) 

englanti I expected nothing from it and got nothing, so I'm satisfied and give it a solid 2* for ELP and for filling an empty evening.

Psyko III

StanislausPsyko III(1986) 

englanti A pretty weak sequel that feeds on the previous parts. The only one who didn't disappoint was Anthony Perkins, otherwise everything else fell flat.

Shark Attack 3: Megalodon

StanislausShark Attack 3: Megalodon(2002) BOO!

englanti Here comes another overgrown shark that destroys everything around it and does not refuse a delicacy such as a jet ski or an inflatable boat full of people. It's almost bizarre what the makers of (not only) shark movies will come up with to try to make us laugh with "fear". Yet another gem in the collection of "movies" about giant monsters.

Shark Hunter

StanislausShark Hunter(2001) BOO!

englanti Sharks are hot with C-move filmmakers and everyone is competing to see who can make the biggest shit with the most horrible digital shark. To make it less "flat", they even tried a cheesy revenge plot for the death of parents.

Kevin & Perry Go Large

StanislausKevin & Perry Go Large(2000) 

englanti The writers of Kevin & Perry Go Large must have been very high and desperate, because a sane person couldn't make this up. A duo of verbally immature wankers trying to break through with a "hit" that repeatedly goes "I'd fuck till I pop, tits, tits ... ", regularly interspersed with endless fecal humour (floating shit forever). The icing on the cake was the wacky DJ Bulva. One star for the characters of the parents – and maybe for the courage to let such a "gem" out!

Romasanta

StanislausRomasanta(2004) 

englanti I like werewolf movies, but this is a different breed. If it had been better developed and better presented, maybe, but I wasn't particularly impressed by it. The transformation was interesting, but there are much better ones.

Creep

StanislausCreep(2004) 

englanti A pretty average horror film that looked pretty stupid at the beginning, got a bit better later, but at the end it fell into stupidity again. I have to admit that the scene where Franka Potente meets the mutant for the first time, and then when the mutant played doctor... well, that was pretty awesome.

Kakkó no iinazuke - Season 1

JeoffreyKakkó no iinazuke - Season 1(2022) 

englanti Considering that the premise about accidentally switched babies feels like something out of a sub-par Mexican soap opera, I was quite surprised at what an intimate and sometimes boring romance A Couple of Cuckoos is. Some of the humor borders on stupidity and many of the would-be dramatic moments are based on silly misunderstandings or common genre clichés. I couldn’t really bring myself to root for any of the three girls, and I found Umino quite uninteresting, and sort of wishy-washy. What I liked the least was his relationship with his step-sister, which the show tried to push a bit too hard as a possible solution to the whole romantic polygon. I just don't buy it, and Sachi seems more like an annoying appendage than a romantic prospect. It's a bit better with the other two girls, there’s at least a little chemistry there and I understand what the writers were aiming for, but I can't say I find it particularly entertaining or enjoyable. It’s great in terms of animation and the music is audible and tries to create a certain vibe. There are a couple of stronger moments, but not powerful enough to excite me or arouse my interest. It’s just a run-of-the-mill anime that I watched until the end, but it didn’t leave a mark on me. I might even forget it in a few days. I'd have to really think about whether I want to watch another season. 4.5/10

Kleo - Season 1

NecrotongueKleo - Season 1(2022) 

englanti I had hoped the Germans would deliver something in the vein of The Americans, but sadly, that wasn't the case. Instead, the creators opted for dubious humor, sacrificing any sense of seriousness or tension. What we got was a bizarre spectacle with "hilarious" German humor. / Lesson learned: There's nothing like a thoroughly brainwashed mind. 3*-

Mi hun zhi mi shi tao tuo

EvilPhoEniXMi hun zhi mi shi tao tuo(2013) 

englanti The Chinese version of Saw without blood. That sounds very nasty! Fortunately, it turned out to be a very enjoyable and atmospheric piece. The film kicks off from the first minute and we hear the "puzzle man's" voice right away. The two leads are great, the charismatic main character and the very pretty and busty heroine are forced to fight to the death in rooms where they have to perform tasks. There’s no gore to speak of, but this film earns its attributes elsewhere. Some of the scenes were so suspenseful that I held my cell phone in my hand, thinking I'd call an ambulance. The intelligence of the film can't be denied either, and the main twist is very original. 65%.

I Will Follow You Into the Dark

EvilPhoEniXI Will Follow You Into the Dark(2012) 

englanti Not interesting at all. Not only did nothing happen in the first hour, but what came after that didn't impress me at all. I didn't care about any of the characters anymore, so much so that even if Jason had showed up with a machete, I would have had a hard time keeping my attention. More of a romantic drama. 45%

Scorned

EvilPhoEniXScorned(2013) 

englanti Average of all averages. This film fails to impress in every aspect, we see here everything we have seen in other films and with a better execution. The only thing worth mentioning is the female lead, AnnaLynne McCord, whom we know from Excision. The torture is bland and weak, the only nice thing are the pretty half-naked girls. 50%

Ihmissusi Lontoossa

EvilPhoEniXIhmissusi Lontoossa(1981) 

englanti The gorgeous transformation of the werewolf makes this horror film a classic. But today, it's no longer surprising. The body count is small, it's more of a non-boring conversational drama. 55%

Only Lovers Left Alive

EvilPhoEniXOnly Lovers Left Alive(2013) 

englanti A very stylish and darkly atmospheric drama! Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton make a very eccentric and exotic duo. Their appearance and behavior was portrayed perfectly. It doesn't have much in common with horror, but surprisingly I wasn't bored for a second, so a decent three stars. Action 0/10, Suspense 2/10, Gore 3/10, Story 8/10, Atmosphere 7/10.

Painajainen amerikkalaiseen tapaan

EvilPhoEniXPainajainen amerikkalaiseen tapaan(2010) 

englanti This is a very heavy, psychological slow burn that turns into a compelling and gritty revenge flick towards the end. I was worried I was going to die of boredom during the film, thankfully I didn't, on the contrary I was pretty fucked up. Erotic, very sleazy, the whole film is accompanied by a sad and depressing atmosphere full of sex and filth...

U-käännös helvettiin

EvilPhoEniXU-käännös helvettiin(1997) 

englanti Very dark, dead, blackly humorous, bleak and strongly atmospheric!! Great acting, a well thought out and polished story with plenty of twists and turns, this is awesome in every way and I can't find anything to fault with the film. If I went through what Sean Penn experienced in this film, I would hang myself the next day without a second thought. For me, one of the best movies ever!! 100%.
