Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)

Gory, but not much else

[3/10 · 19 February 2022]

So, I did not have any expectations for this film, which is good because I'm not disappointed that I didn't enjoy it.

There's just too much wrong with it. I can't tell you what the first act is about. I can't tell you why characters do what they do, or even what they're doing. I can't tell you, on a thematic level, what this film is trying to say.

This film has a ton of gore. So if that's what you're interested in, cool. You'll likely have a good time. But don't expect a simple popcorn flick, because it never truly leans into it. It bounces between serious and silly, never landing on either.

It also looks like it was filmed on a studio lot, so I was never truly immersed in the story. The leads are confusing, too. I still have no idea who the protagonist is.

The third act is ridiculous. Way over the top and completely jumps the shark.

The film itself pays homage to many horror greats including the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Shining. It also borrows heavily from 2018's Halloween, but it's nowhere near as successful.

I love the concept behind this franchise, but I don't think we've truly seen what it's capable of. Worse, this film reminds me of how the slasher genre nearly died off entirely in the late 80s/early 90s.

The Covenant (2006)

Good Film

[7/10 · 9 September 2006]

I saw this movie yesterday and I have to say that it was amazing. It's not your typical thriller/horror/suspense flick, but it's well worth watching. It was the kind of movie that a guy could bring his girlfriend to and she could say that she actually enjoyed it. There's no gore in it but it does have the "jumpy" sequences. Overall the acting was a little cheesy and the dialog wasn't up to par but it was very entertaining. For all the females out there, there are quite a few handsome guys in this movie, and for the men, well, you should enjoy it. The action sequences in the movie were amazing, in my personal opinion. The horror sequences in the movie, well, if you're afraid of spiders, then I suggest that you be prepared for quite a few. I would compare this movie to "The Lost Boys" it's the kind of teen age movie that people can enjoy for years to come. Personally, I don't agree with critiques, and I don't think anyone should. So if you go by the critiques ratings of this film, you might be turned away from it. But then again, if you are smart and you saw "lady in the water" and loved it and compared it to it's rating and reviews and was completely appalled, then you will love this movie.

7/10 stars.

Area 51 (2005 Video Game)

Excellent

[14 December 2005]

Area 51 is an all around, action packed game. From the very beginning cinamatic you are hooked. The story line is just amazing. The graphics is spectacular.

This game is not meant for younger generations however. The game contains a lot of profanity and gore. The rating on this game is Mature for obvious reasons.

The only other thing that i would have to say was wrong with this game was the length. It was too short but then again most of the video games are becoming short.

Overall though the game is grande. It will make you addicted with the many different weapons and storyline. It will make you think "If the government is hiding something, could it be a good thing?"
