Malignant (I) (2021)
6/10
Fast start, good pace and then tripped and fell
28 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
James Wan can do horror - No doubt! With his new movie he has proven it again.

The movie has a really good setting and starts at once with the action. No time for long plot building needed. The horror moves on very well and the first scenes with the killer, his movements are intense and brilliant. Also the technique used to show the switch of locations is really wonderful. The story leaves its ending open for a long time You can only imagine how the story will move on. But well, then came the moment when the killer showed his real face. And that ruined kinda everything. From that point on the stroy was absurd. But because the movie was reall good most of the time it keeps its six stars.

There are also some other annoying things: That forensic girl being in love with the officer is just unnecessary and annoying.

The music in some scenes does absolutely not fit.

The chemistry between both officers is not well played.

The movie is the monster

I can't describe what I felt during watching this movie. My only thoughts were "What a waste of time". It is neither a good love story nor a good monster story. It is just boring.

Spiral (2021)
3/10
Serpico meets Saw - or ist trying to...
28 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Spiral has a very big problem. It can't decide what kind of movie it wants to be. A drama/thriller about an outsider cop being against corruption in the department or a part of the big Saw universe. In the end it none of the two options. Too less for a story about corruption and too less for being a Saw movie. Chris Rock is playing the outsider in his department because he was against corruption in it. In a flashback scene we even can see him being shot down and no one came to help. Does anyone else feel reminded of Serpico? 😉 When you watch a movie dealing with Saw, you want to see creative torture machines and not a uncreative built background story of a cop. That's not what Saw is about. After all Spiral is a movie you can easily skip.

Fear Island (2009 TV Movie)
4/10
Not good at all
25 September 2021
In my eyes this movie was produced ten or more years too late. It seems like a typical 90s slasher. Teenagers get hunted down one by one. The acting is poor, story is lame. Only the story telling in flashbacks is kinda interesting. Another small plus point is that the ending is not really predictable.
