Megalomaniac (2022)
7/10
Abyss of the Human Sick Soul!!!
27 April 2024
It's a typical sick Brutal Horror Movie from France. We remember cult classics like "Inside", "Frontiers", Martyrs and "High Tension" and you can confidently put this film behind them. There are some Brutal and disturbing scenes. The Movie has a Dark Atmosphere from Start to Finish. The Actors aren't the Best, but they're trying Hard - Eline Schumacher does a very good job as a tormented victim and as a sick Psychopath.

This film shows a closer perspective between serial killers and his poor victims.

Be warned, the film is partly contemptuous of people. It's only for die-Hard fans of the Brutale Serial killer theme

Is not suitable for every viewer.!!!

Calling all Nightowls out there! These Special Halloween Episode bring Devilish Ratings!!!
22 April 2024
This Movie uses the Old Classic Horror Elements and Themes that we have all seen before. This Movie doesn't actually bring anything new, but this Movie manages to make the Old horror Recipe enjoyable again. How did he do that?! Very easy! They Simply packed the Old Horror Elements into a Late Night Show, added a 70s look, with good Acting, a pinch of Humor and a pinch of Trash and in the End it felt a bit New and Fresh. I wasn't really Scared by the Movie, but I was really Entertained by it. A Big Compliment goes to David Dastmalchian who got short roles in very good Movies and here he can finally show what a good Actor he is. I think even without him as the main Actor the Movie would have scored a few minus points for me. David Dastmalchian really Shows a Good Performance with Charm and Humor. You can't complain about the great Directing work either. For a low budget horror movie looks the Movie really good.

Don't expect so many Blood and Scary scenes and in the End you will Experience a short Hellish Ride that you will Enjoy!

Not as bad as I thought! Plus Points go to the Beautiful Heather Graham!
29 November 2023
When I saw the metascore I was really excited for the film. But when I read the first bad user reviews, I lost my joy and avoided the film. Then came the evening when I had nothing interesting to watch and after much deliberation I decided to give the film a chance. And I have to say, the film pleasantly surprised me in some ways. Heather Graham alone is worth a look and if you know Heather Graham, you know she's not afraid to show a little more of herself. She is also beautiful to look at and for her age she can be seen in nude scenes.

I like actress Heather Graham and am always happy to see her in a film. She dares to do something, and if the script had a little more to offer, she could of course do more acting. Unfortunately, the story is not new and we already know it from some better horror films. Unfortunately you can't get much out of the story. If you know this beforehand, you can still watch the film once. The film seems rather exaggerated, funny and trashy Horror comedy with some sex scenes that don't blow you away, but are still worth a watch because of Heather Gramma. The actors put in a little effort, but that's enough for an H. P. Lovecraft adoption that feels more like a comedy. I would have liked a little more blood in this film! And I have to say that the film was my first H. P. Lovecraft film and I had a bit of fun for a horror movie night. In the end, I didn't care enough to watch the film. I was also impressed by Joy Lynch's film work! Her directing style suited the film...but I still would have liked a bit more of a '70s look.

...Overloaded with too many GCI Effects!!!
29 November 2023
I'm a Big fan of the Mission Impossible series and I really liked every part that's why it was clear that I was really looking forward to the New Part of the Series Story. Tom Cruise Stunts always blow me away! It's clear to me that GCI was used in the last parts, but it seems to me that the new Part is completely Overloaded with GCI Effects and unfortunately the Action Scenes seem quite Unrealistic and Exaggerated. Okay, I can understand that the last action scene with the fast train is completely reworked in GCI and that's a good thing because without GCI effects it would be impossible to shoot the scene. For the chase scene, they could have done without GCI and shot the whole thing for real. The GCI effects in the car chase scene bother me! I Love Handmade Action Scenes where you can see that the Film Crew put a lot of effort and Sweat in the Action szene. John Woo did it in Part Twowithout GCI Effekts Well, for many People Part Two is a thorn in the Side, but John Woo still Created Action Scenes that you can still Remember today! The Story doesn't offer anything new either! The topic of AI programs is now discussed in almost all films. Don't get me wrong, the Film can be entertaining, and there are Action moments that excite you, but the rest of the Criticism points that I mentioned damaged the Film a Bit I Think this is the Weakest Part of the Film Series, and it has become clear to me that Mission Impossible could finally use a long break, Not that it Finally kills the Great Franchise.

Funny Dude VS EVIL!!!
3 September 2023
How long I had to wait for this Movie until it finally came out in Germany. And today was the Day I was finally allowed to see him and I have to say I wasn't Disappointed! The Movie kept me Entertained until the End... There were a few Funny moments and a few Scary moments too. I think the Movie brings a bit of Freshness to the Found-Footage Horror. Joseph Winter and Vanessa Winter have delivered a good directing performance that is impressive. I'm trying to shoot a little short horror found footage in my free time and I can only say you can only learn from these two. I really liked Joseph Winter's funny acting, although I think some people might find it a bit annoying. Last but not least, a big Compliment to the Make-Up Team! It looked so Trashy disgustingly good that you can call it Art.

Nope (2022)
8/10
It's Nope Bad!!! ...I Like It!!!
13 April 2023
I have to say, even if many people don't agree with me...I think Jordan Peele has risen to the Ranks of the Best Filmmakers of our Time. I think he did a very good Job Directing. The story and Dialogues are also well written. At the beginning when I saw the Trailer I was super hyped but then when the movie came out and I read the bad Reviews...I had to lower my expectations a bit.

I then watched it at home on DVD and I have to say if you lower your expectations you will be very Surprised and the Film will Entertain you very much. Afterwards I regretted that I didn't see the Film in the IMAX cinema. What nobody really knows is that the first Horror film was shot in Imax. Although you can say that the Film is not really a Horror Movie ... it looks like a Horror film but in reality it is an exciting Sci-Fi - Thriller of a different kind and there are a few scenes that seem Scary. But it's more the Suspense and the Mystery about the unknown Object that takes center stage. A lot of people were Disappointed with the ending but I was still pleasantly surprised....the movie felt Fresh New!

I thought the soundtrack in the Film was really well done... The Score fitted the film very wellew towards the End.

All the Actors gave a good Performance. I was really looking forward to Daniel Kaluuya I hope he will work more often with Jordan Peele in the future they will definitely make a good Team ala Scorsese and De Niro! ;) I also liked Keke Palmer although her characters are a bit too hyperactive and like to talk a little fast.

The Movie is a bit slow in the first half but the movie picks up and towards the End it feels like a wild Thrilling good Ride.

As I said, it's an exciting Sci-Fi Mystery Thriller that takes a while to get going, but still keeps you captivated in front of the Screen towards the Second half.

Sir Guy Ritchie Dit it Again!
10 April 2023
I Really enjoyed the Movie, I just love Guy Ritchie's style of shooting.... I was very Entertained by the Film All the Actors played their Roles well, especially Jason Statham, Josh Hartnett, Aubrey Plaza and Cary Elwes.

I liked Sir Hugh Grandt's Badass Character and he played him Damm Good!!!

Anyone who knows and loves Guy Ritchie's handwriting will be thoroughly amused here. The right choice of Music was also a good fit.

In a nutshell, a Movie with Cool Funny dialogues, Solid well-made Action and Quick cuts.

But please don't expect any ingenious twists...tighten your expectations and you will be surprised.

I was Surprised!!!
26 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Guys you can believe me I'm a real Found Footage Horror-Movie Fan. ...I've seen almost everything! I had no particular expectations from the Film.

Unfortunately, it's a low-budget Film so you shouldn't have High expectations !!! ...But I have to say the Film does have a few Scary moments and you learn a little bit about the horrible story of Hiroshima how the US dropped the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima. There is also a Ghost story on the subject that is very reminiscent of the Horror film "The Grudge".

Unfortunately, the film also has a couple of very Bad scenes... I found one scene so Badly done that I almost didn't want to finish watching the Film....but fortunately the Film turned around towards the End.

A small exciting Survival trip that you will not soon forget!!!
14 April 2022
If you are Afraid of getting lost in the Forest without Food or Drink or afraid of hungry evil Bears then please give the Film a wide berth. This is a real Survival film that shows what can happen if you want to Prove yourself unnecessarily and make the wrong Decision.

Devil Ritual Horror with a Great 80s Look!
14 April 2022
In good old Horror manners, Ti West brings the 80s back and in a really good way. If you look at the film like this, you could almost say that the film was really shot in the 80s?! The well-chosen suitable Music puts you in a Good Mood. Unfortunately, the horror builds up a bit too slowly, but you'll be rewarded for that in the second half. Believe me, the scenes that are a bit long will be worth it, just be patient. For me, the film is a little horror 80s nostalgia snack!

Gore,Fun,Trash and Blood!!!
26 April 2021
Whoever saw Steven Kostanski's last film - like his short film "Bio Cop" and "The Void" knows what to expect here. A wanted cheap trashy Power Ranger massacre with a good portion of GORE and HUMOR! ... which is really fun for a movie evening! Turn off your brain and enjoy the film;)

Status Quo (I) (2019)
7/10
well done short sci-fi story!
18 May 2020
The film entertained me quite well for 30 minutes. The story is not new but surprises towards the end with a little ingenious twist. Mariia Deikova und Elisabeth Derbay did very good directing work. I would like to see more short films or longer ones from the two directors. Farouk El-Khalili did a really good job. Unfortunately I don't know many good German actors but I can very well imagine Farouk El-Khalili in Bigger Blockbuster films. I would very much like to see him as a villain. I think he would deliver a great performance

Phobia (I) (2016)
7/10
a clever successful psycho thriller of the other kind ... made by India
19 April 2019
Actually, I'm not a fan of Bollywood and the movies I've seen have either been too overkill or too bad. ... at Phobia I make an exception, it is a well-filmed film from the kitchen india and a very special food from the genre Psycho thriller that will not be enjoyed by all. ... Good moments of tension, a breath of horror and a main actress "Radhika Apte" which shows an impressive performance ... make the movie really worth seeing. ... Unfortunately, I am a bit disappointed with the twist at the end, I would have liked to have another end. ... The fim gets a 6.8 from me!

Fresh Authentic Thrill
1 April 2019
The first half fades slightly, but in the second half the film gains more of its tempo and tension. Toward the end we are rewarded with a cool end ... you can watch the movie.

It is one of the best parts and unfortunately also a shattering truth about our situation!
31 March 2019
I love Oliver's stones documentary about the real American story! With facts and great video material, he shows us how the greatest war criminals of our time! George W. W. Bush, Bill Cliton, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donalds Rumpsfeld and the old drunkard Yeltsin not to forget!

The last part about "American New Century" and 9/11 brought a good thought ... which hopefully brings a few more people to think about the consequences!

...Nice!!!
27 March 2019
I first doubted a bit ... but I thought it was a great idea. His metal arm with which he shoots nails is already a cool idea .... the effects were not bad as I thought! .... I hope a DRUDGE 2 is already working;)

Jordan Peele has done a good job again!!!
26 March 2019
I imagined the movie a bit different ... but towards the end I'm still convinced of Peele Absurd's crazy story. The film entertained me a lot. Thanks to Jordan Peele, good direction work, good fresh story, great camera ride and the impressive acting performance of ... Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker ... there you can if you have a few logic mistakes, just press an eye;)

and the twist was something new and refreshing to think about!

P.S: ....it is best if you do not look at the trailer and go to the cinema without great expectations. This makes you more surprised about US!

a short, nerve-wracking exciting story that gets under your skin !!! ... and once again visually sensational !!!
22 March 2019
Alone the idea .... Helpless to float through all with low oxygen. In this situation, Sandra Bullock was in Gravity but she would never have such a thought. This episode shows how it can be easy to get out of such a situation quickly;) .... the best scene you should have seen: D

.... This episode was again something for the eyes !!! ... a mega battle senario !!! I think this episode would work very well as a game, maybe as an ego shooter game! ... The Red Army against the fearsome monsters in the Serbian forest area! ... a very good template for the cally of duty developers!
