There's Someone Inside Your House



Plot Synopsis: 

A killer stalks a small town, and is set on killing them and exposing their deepest, darkest secrets. 

Positives: 

Starting things off with the things I liked, I think it's pretty creative that the killer always wears masks that resemble their victim's faces. I can also appreciate the brutality in some of the movie's kills. I mean it, there's a point where a character has their heels slashed open. Also, for a slasher movie, I actually like that some of these characters are decently fleshed out. In many ways, these characters are actually allowed to feel like people, especially the movie's final girl. However, I have more to say about the characters as a whole in another section. 

Mixed Aspects:

I've already kind of hinted at this. As much as I appreciate the fact that some of the characters have more development than most slasher movies give characters, sometimes I think it's to the movie's detriment. For example, one of the characters that you're kind of supposed to root for is probably the character I found to be the most annoying character in the movie. The movie has a mystery aspect to it as well, and the overall way the mystery plays out is something I have mixed feelings on. There's a couple of characters who are so obvious, you could just tell they were red herrings. When the killer was revealed, there were things that I kind of wondered how he pulled them off, and how he knew about them. I also kind of want to circle back to the movie's kills. I had said that a couple of them were decently brutal, and I meant that. But, the body count isn't very high, and outside of those two kills, the rest are just kind of whatever.

Negatives: 

The main thing is that there were parts of this movie that I am struggling to remember almost a day after watching it. 

Final Thoughts: 

I think this was a fine enough way to kill 90 minutes. I didn't hate it. I'm glad watched it, but I also didn't think it was anything to write home about either. It's just one of those movies where I don't have much to say. 

My Rating:

    " I didn't hate it. I'm glad watched it, but I also didn't think it was anything to write home about either. It's just one of those movies where I don't have much to say." < 100% Couldn't have said it better myself.

Final Destination 3

Plot Synopsis: During a school field trip to an amusement park, Wendy has a vision of a roller coaster derailing and killing her and several of her classmates. She panics and manages to get herself and a few of her classmates off of the ride before it derails. Death begins coming back to collect. When Wendy starts seeing clues as to how they all die in the pictures she took, she and her best friend’s boyfriend work together to try and put a stop to Death’s plan. Positives: So, I think this movie really benefits from having Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the lead. She gives easily the best performance in this movie. Once again, this third film does a good job playing into the franchise’s dark sense of humor.  Mixed Aspects: The first thing I want to address here is the kills. The tanning bed and the nail gun are both all timer kills for this franchise. One of the things I think hurts some of the kills here is that this is the point where the franchise starts to become reliant on CGI gor...

The Final Destination

Plot Synopsis: While at a NASCAR type event, Nick has a vision of one of the race cars crashing causing a lot of deaths. Realizing what’s about to happen, he gets himself and a select few people out before the crash happens. Of course, Death comes back to collect. Positives: A couple of kills are okay. There’s a scene where a racist guy gets lit on fire while being dragged by his tow truck (all while the radio plays “Why Can’t We Be Friends”). I want to highlight this kill because it’s the one time in the movie where I laugh, and I feel like that’s the intent. The other kill that I kind of like is the guy who ends up at the bottom of the pool. One of the side characters is a security guard played by Mykelti Williamson. Williamson is the best actor in the movie, and it’s not even close. Negatives: All of our main characters suck. At best, they’re bland. At worst, they’re annoying. I mentioned in my review for the third movie, that I felt the writing was weaker than it was in the first t...

Scream 7

  Plot Synopsis:  After years of being traumatized by Ghostface killings, Sidney Prescott has relocated to the town of Pine Grove, Indiana. Now her oldest daughter Tatum is the same age that she was when the Ghostface killings began. Of course, a new Ghostface pops up to begin slicing people up to get to Sidney and her daughter.  Positives: As usual, Neve Campbell shows up to work. I kind of like that this is a Sidney Prescott dealing with motherhood. She's still a very guarded person. I kind of like that the lesson she has to learn is that she has to teach her daughter how to be a fighter, and that Sidney needs to learn that she can't always be there to protect her kid. Isabel May is solid as Tatum. Something I like that I know is not going to be for everybody is how they utilize Matthew Lillard. I won't go into spoilers here. I also like how Chad and Mindy are integrated into the movie too. Having them as Gale's interns is actually kind of fun. I should also say that ...
