All in all, Eerie felt like a waste of time and good opportunity, to be completely honest. There was a chance to improve up the ante on the Pinoy horror genre given that there was the combination of talent, budget and marketing for it but instead, filmmakers chose to play safe and deliver a sub-par version of an old concept. It was all style and no substance, plain and simple. … Read More Eerie: Movie Review
All in all, The Wailing’s main intention was to shock and scare audiences into the various forms evil can take. It compels audiences to explore their own hearts and evaluate what extent they could go to protect someone dear. It took two and a half hours of uncertainty to spring a final surprise on the audience but I felt like it was a futile effort given that the film demolished its central character so effectively that he deserved his ultimate tragic end. To say that I was disappointed in the film would be a major, major understatement. I would like to give myself a pat on the back though for finishing it until the end no matter how many tries it took. That’s commitment for you. … Read More The Wailing: Korean Movie Review
Stranger Things experimented a lot in their storytelling approach this season and I felt like it still paid off in delivering a solid and entertaining installment to the franchise. Stranger Things Season 3 was an exciting, emotional ride but it stuck true to its core at the end of the day — family, friendship and a common sense of heroism. This is why it is still familiar even though the show has already evolved in so many ways. I think I’ll stick around for a season or two more to see what happens next. … Read More Stranger Things: Season 3 Review
Spellbound is a cute and entertaining tale delivered very well by a competent and charismatic cast. Its a rom-com dosed with just the right amount of horror to deliver a different concept and a fresh take on the genre.… Read More Spellbound: Korean Movie Review
All in all, “Svaha: The Sixth Finger” was far from extraordinary. It was not scary. It was not thought-provoking. It was boring, but it did touch on the very real issue of religious fanaticism, which is present in all types of religion, left unchecked. It was a movie that technically did everything right but failed on the level that it did not evoke much of an impact given the material it covered. Sometimes, talking above an audience’s head takes its toll and it took its toll for this movie, big time. For me, at least.… Read More Svaha: The Sixth Finger Movie Review
All in all, of the episodes that I have watched, “The Comedian” was the weakest and I think it was a bad idea to lead the series with this episode. It was sub par for “The Twilight Zone” standards but don’t lose hope after this one because the other episodes do deliver on expectations. “The Twilight Zone” is well worth following. … Read More Twilight Zone: ‘The Comedian’ review
Unfortunately, Overlord was a massive disappointment from start to finish. I even nodded off a couple of times throughout its relatively short run and I don’t think this is something that a movie in this genre was aiming for. It was corny, predictable and frustrating. It was overhyped and underwhelming. That’s the kindest description for it, I guess. Better luck next time. … Read More Overlord: Movie Review
