Logan 8.5/10
Gritty , dark, downer of a film......but,
Excellent all the way! A bit heavy on unneeded gore......
The acting is superb......that last shot before the credits....GUrK!

Scream, saw the first two, didn't care for either of them. Didn't seem particularly clever to me, could never figure out what the big deal was. Any cinema fan has been well aware of Horror cliches long before Scream ever came out.
 
When it comes to the slasher genre, my opinions have never been the popular ones since I’ve never actually been a fan of the genre. Monster films like Alien and Predator are my cup of tea.

Most of the slasher classics are boring to me – with protagonists there as nothing but gore fodder so limp and dull that I wish they’d just get carved up within the first 15 minutes of the films. Marilyn Burns' character in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is an example of what I would consider a plot device; a non-character. I thought the only protagonists in Halloween 1978 who counted as actual characters were Dr. Loomis (the best part of the film, IMHO) and of course Laurie. Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis are great actors, and the atmosphere and musical score of the film are both historical – however, I always found the Michael Myers character too generic. I won’t even bother talking about Friday the 13th here. That being said, I DO certainly understand the historical value of these films, I will just personally never see them as good movies.

The Scream films, on the other hand, I enjoy because they’re basically making fun of the aforementioned slasher classics. Now, I’m perfectly aware that horror clichés existed before those films, but I couldn’t respectfully disagree more about them not being clever – to me that’s exactly what they were even though they were after their time. I also find the Ghostface costume/mask much more memorable than the designs of Leatherface, Myers, Jason, etc. – all of which seem boring and generic to me.

I’m not saying my opinions are right nor am I trying to force how I feel down anyone’s throats, just clearing things up. :duff

Please, don't feel like you need to defend your tastes!

It's just one of those movies that was very successful, that I found completely unappealing. I wouldn't have even mentioned it, except that it was all people were talking about back in the day.

As for horror, yes, I too love Alien, but my favorite horror films are The Shining, The VVitch, Rosemary's Baby, and Jacobs Ladder. Slasher films don't appeal to me.
 
The Void (2nd viewing) -7.5/10

I didn't give it a number last time, but I do kinda like it. It had tremendous potential that didn't pay off, but I think there WAS brilliance in there somewhere for a horror film.

Dreamcatcher - 7/10
 
Valerian 2/10.The 2 is for the CGI which was for the most part very good.

Most Luc Besson films are worth watching and some are excellent... La Femme Nikita 8/10,The Professional 9/10.

But sorry to say this film is a disaster.I won't go deep, just 3 things.The lead actor was absolutely terrible/monochrome with no charisma at all.The dialogue was a joke and I don't mean Funny.The music for the film at no point fit the scene it was for.Honestly some of the worst I have ever experienced in a big budget film.

almost did not want to admit I saw this film.

El espinazo del diablo - 9.5/10 Del Toro, being from Mexico, yet, he can write about the Spanish civil war like the lived through it as an orphan, and film it equally masterfully, just as good as he can make a dumb robot vs kaiju movie, what a guy.

Sad horror story ;_; one of my favorite kinds.

If he really is doing something with Kojima, this should really give it some real heart.
 
Fargo Season 3 (2017) - 9/10

Spawn (1997) - 4.5/10

A Ghost Story (2017) - 9/10

AKIRA (1988) - 8.5/10
