Mindcage (2022)
Confused genres or what.
So disappointed in this as the trailer looked really good. First half was quite good, though I thought the female cop was lame, even if it was Silence of the Lambs lite. But then it was like they jumped genres and it went completely off the rails. Crime thriller or horror possession - pick a side. It doesn't work with both. I jokingly said at least the cop's not the bad guy, and what do you know - the cop was the bad guy. Such a shame as the premise was good but there's only so far you can expect the audience to suspend their disbelief. If they'd stuck to a crime thriller / copy cat (not with the cop!) it would have been much better.
The Winchesters (2022)
I wasn't that keen on the concept but I was pleasantly surprised.
Much better than I expected. The tone, lighting, music and sets were excellent. Maybe a little too much crammed into one episode as it moved very fast, and the acting was uneven, but overall I enjoyed it. Has a real vintage SPN feel and I loved all the nods to the original. Drake and JoJo were particularly good in their roles, Meg not go much but it's early days. I'm ignoring all the haters review bombing the show, they were determined to hate it no matter what. Seeing now the twists will line up the existing canon will be interesting, and I'm looking forward to learning more about the MoL. Off to a good start.
