Secret in Their Eyes (2015)
An absolute gem
A good movie does well with many elements, and this one takes its place amongst the must-see films: the story is clever and emotive, much like the movie se7en, then the acting is superbly delivered by the big names, and the awesome soundtrack tops it all off. The pace of the film is great and allows for development of the characters and audience buy-in. What else do you need? Thoroughly enjoyable!
The Rezort (2015)
Good watch but too many illogical events
It's still a good suspenseful zombie flick but there were too many stupid things like girlfriend upset with boyfriend for killing an infected person. Guys running into buildings full of zombies for unexplained reasons. Brimstone Protocol designed to contain the infection? They're on an island for god's sakes... The only protocol to ensure containment is to quarantine the island and all from there.
The revelation about the zombies near the end is definitely cool though.
Apostle (2018)
Not quite there :(
Plot is good.
Supernatural meets gore is also ok I guess.
But story not great. And the story telling is not credible due to many illogical things. Yes people can believe in ghosts and hobbits and tree-people if you create your story with those things, but they all need to operate within a consistent realm of logic and rules.
Eg: A witch who's a part of a tree and the island, is an ok concept, and who seems to need to be fed human flesh/blood is also fine. But her powers are pathetic so I don't know why the film used her to deliver its horror effects? It just became confusing when I simply see her as a disgusting character rather than a scary one. The instruments of "purification" used by the humans provided much better horror effects.
In short, I appreciate the film has a plot to deliver but the story telling falls well short in terms of characters, logic, flow and credibility.
