I liked it.
Curious if you finished and what you thought of it overall. I enjoyed it; not perfect by any means but kept my interest and I liked the tone.
They filmed a prequel at the same time so there will be another movie based on X.
An early film from the most excellent Mike Flanagan who's gone on to do lots of great stuff.
I believe the 14th it's on Peacock.
I'm halfway through his newest Netflix show, the Midnight Club. I like it quite a bit...more of an anthology than his previous offerings like Hill House and Midnight Mass.
Pearl, which is the name of the film. And apparently it was released to theaters a few weeks ago and will be on VOD at the end of October. A third film has been announced based on Maxine after the events of X though.
Anyway, overall I was 50/50 on it. Overall I like the story, but the f/x were a bit cheesy at times and wore on me a tad. Still a very good werewolf movie, and as I am finding, those are in short supply. 7/10.
.. and we go right from a great, original movie to of course driving the idea into the ground by pushing out a bunch of movies in short order.
Yeah, not seeing the need for any of these spinoffs
Love me some Trick 'R Treat!
Of course, as it should be. My comment was more from experience and being tired of that being the case for so many movies, especially in this genre. I can't think of many franchises that don't start declining after a couple movies, but of course there are examples. Way too often it's just a money grab and an attempt to pump out movies while the buzz is good. I get it - as much as I would love it to be all about the movies and art, at the end of the day it's a business that needs to make $.
Watched it earlier today as I posted. I liked it. 4/5
Most terrifying kid murder ever.
huh, I liked it quite a bit. I thought the acting of the couple (especially the wife) at the end was spot on. Her shaking from the shot of adrenaline from all that had happened and what she knew was going to happen was how I see someone reacting in that position.
Love this movie. The local theater has it playing on the big screen this week.
Never seen Tucker, maybe I’ll give it a shot
Imo Tucker and Dale is the funniest/goofiest of them. It's great, but the others have actual scares to them.
Dammit. Even better if it was a mash up of They Live and The Grey.
I like Dr Sleep very much. I think the performance of the lead baddie is really interesting and compelling.
I didn't know what it was about and thought the main baddie and idea were a bit cheesy in the movie.
Oh, I had no idea that this was the same guy who made Midnight Mass. Huge fan of that one, to the point of annoying a couple of my friends at dinner a year or so ago because I wouldn't shut up about it. Makes sense that I liked some of his earlier work too.
I liked this one as well.
Nice work, did you do this for fun or for a potential bigger project?
Loved Midnight Mass -- has one of my favorite homilies of all time, priest is just so passionate... and so, so wrong.
Thanks!
Trying not to spoil anything, but my point is I would have died in the car. No way I let what happened happen that way. Especially without any weapons being involved. Parents gave up. Actually they never even tried.
I do agree with that somewhat. I am not sure who would have died in the car but I guarantee someone would be severely fd up. I just don't think that couple had the necessary skill set for that. I have trained for situations like that so I feel I would have a better shot at it than the movie couple. IIam not saying I would have survived but I would find out who wanted to live more. I don't like to talk about this like it was real, but if this were real it is quite possible an average person would freeze in disbelief that it was happening. That is a proven phenomenon in situations such as this. Especially her reaction at the end, I found that very believable. There is a huge adrenaline dump when under stress such as this. It was the shaking and compliance at the end that really got me. They knew what was coming and really had no other option than what they did. Of course there were options, but like I said they came across as a couple that would not know how to even attempt to employ those options. They did not even have it in them to leave before that night when they absolutely should have. This is a nice example of trust your gut instinct. Deep inside they knew something was wrong but they didn't have it in them to leave.
I think will take the plunge tonight on a more empty stomach. Anybody watch this one??
