Connasse, princesse des coeurs (2015)
I'm so in love with this movie
First of all, I got to say, that I spontaneously bought that movie for a girls night in. On the backside of the DVD it says something about similarities to Borat, which I liked a lot, so I ended up buying it and it really didn't disappoint me at all. Well, maybe it was because I didn't have a lot of expectations towards the movie. It may contain some dark humour and a bitchy protagonist, in lack of a better word, but Camille Cottin did a really great job on this one! You have to be open minded to watch it and even though it's not always accurate (talking about those last scenes, where she really had her princess moments), it's definitely a film you won't regret watching and the fact, that it was filmed through hidden cameras makes it even better.
The Gallows (2015)
Not really original.
I've watched the trailer and wanted so badly to see the movie, which I now did. In my opinion there is a lack of originality in this...First, let's start with the acting! I know that hiring newcomers doesn't automatically mean, that there's bad acting involved...well in this case, we can say they might not all become the next Meryl Streep, but it was kinda solid. When it comes to the characters, you can see all the clichés horror movies now stand for. There is the pretty blonde girl with a slutty attitude, where it gets clear that she's one of the first to die, then there's her boyfriend the sports guy who gets murdered for his stupidity as well. And then there's the cute couple consisting of the girl next door and the football jock who secretly has a passion for drama (Glee, much?) and of course at the end he sacrifices him for her, turned around it could have been better.The story itself is pretty simple, but in my eyes kind of interesting, but unfortunately doesn't show any excitement or scary moments. The ending was th best part of the whole movie (or better the only part I liked), because it was kinda original and "surprising" but here again I can say, that they could've extended the situation more. After all, I give this film 4/10 stars due to the fact that it was not surprising and sometimes really annoying, but there was something about it, i couldn't switch it off.
Friend Request (2016)
Surprisingly Good!
I'm a little bit critical when it comes to horror movies linked with social media, but this one turned out to be a really good film! First of all I became a huge fan of Alycia Debnam- Carey since "Fear the Walking Dead" and I think the acting skills in this one are actually pretty good! The concept of the story was kinda boring, but I think the director did a really good job by extending it into a good plot! Of course the movie was a little predictable at some points but the ending shocked me as well as the contrast between the first scene and the last one. The characters are also far more improved from the cliché, of course there are some similarities but in the end they are kind of original. I also admired the scary scenes,there were a lot of them and could give you a small heart attack.After all I can say that "Unfriend" is a good example for good horror movies in the 2010's which is why I gave it 7/10 stars! Go watch it, you won't regret it!
