- An okay B-type blockbuster with a well-rounded cast and
gorgeous disaster shots. However, the absence of its titular character for
three-fourths of the movie is so disappointing you’d wish that you should’ve
watched it at home instead. The title should be “People, Mosquito-Looking
Creatures ft. Godzilla”.
FILTH: 3.5/5
- James McAvoy should get accolades because he really raised
the film’s bars for his exceptional portrayal of a deranged Irish dude. This
movie will definitely turn into shit, especially the last act, if it went to
the wrong actor. It has an awesome intro and an end that can smash the replay
button because of how startling it was, but the long and scattered middle part
made this 90-minute film feel like a three-hour movie. No offense but you’ll
also need subtitles if you want to hear the witty lines clearly. Damn, Imogen
Poots is a very hot cop.
THE PURGE ANARCHY: 2.5/5
- Frank Grillo is a certified bad-ass. It’s just that everyone
in the movie is annoyingly stupid, from the rich-ass purgers to the smart-ass
activist girl. These characters drag what could’ve been an awesome shoot-em-up
movie to a mediocre white people TV drama. I’m glad that James DeMonaco listened
to the first Purge reviews and expanded the franchise, but it’s still not
enough… or maybe it’s too much. There are good social commentaries and allegories
in here but they never became subversive because people only yap about them. He
should watch Gone Girl to see how effective that movie was in portraying
today’s society despite the absurd approach. Those creepy-looking dudes in the
poster aren’t in here much. Despite all
that, I can still see a better sequel because the dystopian world has a lot to
be explored. It will be awesome if Hawke and Grillo met in the third part.
ANNABELLE: 1/5
- Hardcore fans of the Paranormal Activity franchise will
like this but this is a piece of shit for me and everyone who hates those lazy “jump-scare”
effects and “dumb white people” horror trope. Try to watch the movie again. I
dare you. I double dare you. You’ll laugh at yourself for buying this stupid story
and for being shocked by a falling book. Screech! Squeak! Boo! Kablam!
MARIA LEONORA TERESA: 1.5/5
- It’s been a long time since I laughed at a Wenn Deramas movie.
I hate his recent movies but Zanjoe Marudo and the melodramatic dolls are
nonsensically, unintentionally funny. Despite the compliment, it’s still as shitty as Annabelle.
DEMENTIA: 2.5/5
- Nora Aunor escalated this lacklustre film like she did in
Hustisya. I know that Perci Intalan is trying to make a quality horror film,
and he was successful in some ways, but this is just not scary nor memorable.
Chynna Ortaleza is always good but a less-known actress would make a creepier
and a more enigmatic ghost. The only thing that bugged me in the endless
jump-scare sequence was the Mama Mary statue that is closing her eyes in the
cemetery. Sorry if I’m wrong on some details about the statue. I must have had
dementia after watching because it’s so forgettable.
