Old (2021)
Terrible dialogues
I swear the dialogues have been written by a bot. There is NO WAY anybody would talk like that in real life. I walked out after 7 minutes and this is a first.
Nailbiter (2013)
I regret watching this. A lot.
Look, go play outside, or you know what? Just wait and no nothing for an hour and a half. Meditate or something. Or watch something else.
The acting is bad, camera work is bad, dialogue is bad, most of the time the action is outside of camera frame, and when you see something, it's not believable at all. Thw whole plot is bad. The reactions are bad. The characters are seriously stupid as f***.
This is not a "this is so bad it's good" bad movie, it's a "I am ashamed of myself for choosing this movie" bad movie.
You deserve more than this. Don't lose your time.
By the way, I love horror movies. It's all I watch. And I regret giving attention to this one. I hope everyone involved in this movie are actively looking into another career field.
The Taking (2014)
Turn the damn light on!
You know when you watch a movie and you constantly yell at the characters because they do everything wrong? Yeah, this movie is one of those.
Here's the premise: A group of people get to film an old lady in the struggle of an early diagnosed Alzheimer's disease. Her behavior is getting worse really fast, but it seems something else is going on with her, something evil...
Jill Larson is the best actress in the movie. She really nails her character. Anne Ramsay follows, then the rest of the acting is okay I guess.
Now, the problem with this movie is mainly about rational behavior of the characters. You know, when you are looking for someone confused in the house, it works better with the lights on. But here noooo, that wouldn't be scary enough. The group could also make sure to tell her they are coming and are looking for her, but it feels like they are almost hiding from her. Then when we find the lost lady or something scary, we also get a bonus unrelated scary sound, to make sure the jump scares are effective.
Some scenes can get pretty exciting sometimes, but don't hope to find anything extraordinary with this movie, you'd be disappointed. If you're looking for a barely decent found footage/mockumentary flick, you can give this one a chance. Just don't think too much about logic in this movie, because it is pretty much inexistent.
