Sent from my G3121 using Pie and Bovril mobile app I left the cinema thinking this film was a 0/10, but I look back and remember it quite fondly. Not sure I'll ever watch it again though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So slow to start, and bar a section from 60-90 minutes which wasn't AS bad, then that ending, wtf. This is the type of film that weirdos will love and give "off the wall, radical" reviews. But for the normal Joe bloggs cinema go'er, avoid. Worst film I've seen in a long time. Difficult to argue against most of this. In all honesty, I thought the first hour was great. The first WTF moment with the accident really unnerved me, and I liked trying to figure out what was going on. But that ending just fucked it all up for me, destroyed most of the good will I was willing to offer it. A bit like mother! in a lot of ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's plenty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the book I read 4 guys go out into the woods and are stalked by something. They split up and one of them is captured in some old hut in the woods by a rock band who then want to sacrifice him to whatever it was stalking the guys in the first part of the book! Edit - just found an email from the author of the book - the band were called Blood Frenzy. Perhaps they just didn't use this part of the book in the movie.

That was the worse film I’ve ever seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, *spoiler* the accident part was genuinely shocking/horrifying. I just felt that within that first hour there was so much scope to really terrify the viewer or to properly explain wtf was going on. *spoiler again* the fact it never really explained a lot about what the grandmother was really involved with, or expanded on the Joanie woman left me with more questions than answers tbh.My Mrs watched an interview with the director when we came home on Saturday night and he done a decent job summarising the plot and answering a few questions.Its the first film I've came out of that I've heard 90% of the audience absolutely slaughter it. Not just a "that was rubbish" either, absolutely slaughter it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plot sounds the exact same to be fair, except in the movie they’re just a bunch of random oddballs not a rock band. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Mother! was my favourite cinematic experience of the past year. Hereditary was really underwhelming for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hereditary Definitely showed some early promise and was at its best when it was going for the sense of dread but fell flat on its face when it went full blown horror and that final act is just hilarious at times. 4/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Ocean's 8 What a waste. Great cast. Some cracking acting. But a story that was utterly boring and devoid of the swagger and style of the boaby versions. Rhianna was fab. So was HBC. So was The Bullock. They did the best they could. The writing and the direction was fucking dreadful. 3/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Dunkirk (9/10)Only reason I haven't given it 10 is that I don't know what makes a perfect film but in terms of the war genre, this is about as close to perfection as you get.Very low key in terms of its set pieces and doesn't rely heavily on death and destruction like many of the genre, but it's so well shot with some spot on acting. Harry Styles is a w**k though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
