Solitary (2011)
This was awful
I guess I couldn't say much without adding a spoiler warning - so ... I don't know how many movies they can do and keep spinning off The Sixth Sense plot twist crud. I am SO over The Sixth Sense. I want to watch real movies about feasible characters with real plots that can happen in real life. These type of "we're going to play with your head and warp reality" movies are a cheap, untalented way of producing a product. I also think they are bad for people's mental health: If people want to have their head mucked up, watch this nonsense.
**I'd also recommend that anyone who has recently lost someone or is in a depressive state stay away from this movie.**
Other than that, I'm sorry I wasted two hours of my life on it. There should be some type of warning on films like these - the synopsis is - for instance - a LIE. This isn't really about a doctor treating a woman with agoraphobia.It's a series of made up illusions that have to do with a woman in a coma who lost her husband. It's way beyond the realms of reality. I don't even know what flipping genre it falls into; but they should have a particular genre for this type of Sixth Sense movie so those of us who hate it can avoid watching it. The whole "surprise" factor turned into "who gives a rat's bum?" for me a long time ago.
My Haunted House (2013)
This is all fake
Now I know it. They just did a story on my hometown that involved a serial killer. No such serial killer existed anywhere in the U.S. let alone in my hometown. The serial killer was made up, his nickname was made up, his method of killing and m.o. were made up - I searched on everything they said on My Haunted House - and the entire story seems to be made up. Not even one iota of the story was true. Done watching this stuff. Like someone else commented, I like other ghost/paranormal stories that use real people instead of paid actors - and true stories. It's not like there aren't enough of them to go around. I studied acting, and did my fair share back in the day, and I can tell when someone is acting...especially if they aren't that good.
Revelation: The End of Days (2014)
Excellent!
This seems like it was purposely produced to warn us of what is coming. You will find that Christians are the worst critics of it. "It got this wrong, it got that wrong," etc. The majority of Christians today are in false churches and are obsessed with SELF. They consider themselves all knowing and all seeing when in fact they are enabling the coming of the Antichrist.
This movie wasn't perfect - the ending for instance was a huge letdown, but hey it was just the last five minutes of the film. Everything else concerning the portrayed events is really already going on in one form or another. The persecution of Christians in America is well on it's way; we have a tyrannical president who promised hope and delivered hell; the military buildup with weapons returning from war in the Middle East is already happening.
Also loved how they interpreted the booms and trumpet noises as being harbingers of the last days - something that is really going on and in the news everyday and many of believe they ARE signs. They used real footage of actual events throughout the movie - even getting in the house-to-house raids in Boston after the bombing.
Maybe all the so-called Christian critics didn't recognize that much footage was taken from real life. They were too busy hating.
The whole idea of government created pandemics, disposing of the elderly and infirmed - that's already here too, though not on the mass scale portrayed in the movie -- but we're getting there.
This movie was awesome! Yes I hated the shaky camera "Blair Witch Project" cinematography, but maybe - just maybe - that will be the appeal to the younger people who live as quickly and shakily as the camera angles in this digital age.
It's coming folks; and regardless of who tries to pick apart the scripture presented in the movie - most of it was pretty accurate.
They left out the false prophet and the Pope etc., but hey - it wasn't perfect.
It was, however, a prophetic warning delivered to the people to wake them up. Let's hope it will get through to some people and the the Christians don't ruin it for everyone or impede other's salvation by continually dissing this movie.
And by the way, people who have not watched an entire movie should not, IMHO, write a review. That's like turning in your book report after the first chapter.
Audrey Rose (1977)
First half hour was good
All in all, the movie was really boring. I love old movies, but this was so off-the-wall it wasn't palatable. The ending was horrible, IMHO. That's not a spoiler, just my opinion.
If you love old movies...don't get fooled into watching this. There is no character development, the plot is flimsy at best. The first half hour or so is compelling and has the makings for a good movie...if the plot hadn't unfolded as it did.
Anthony Hopkins gives a great performance, but it's not worth watching the movie to see it. I don't know why it false into a "psychological horror" category because some creep telling you your daughter is reincarnated is more annoying than anything.
The Haunting of Seacliff Inn (1994)
There's one thing I don't watch
This movie is doing okay until the dog gets killed in a gut wrenching scene. Actually I didn't like the sweet old lady dying in in a pool of blood with her eyes open in a home where she'd raised her children and grandchildren and was so happy.
But the dog...I just don't think they really needed this scene. Actually I'd seen this movie years ago and forgotten about it. The scene with the dog was the only thing that stayed with me and it hasn't left my head for decades. Just went to watch the movie again and drat - didn't know until it got to that same disturbing scene. Clicked it right off. Now it will disturb me for another 20 years.
