It (2017)
Brilliant
Well shot and well formed script. Bill Skarsgard did a fantastic job as Pennywise. You'll float too scene was just brilliant, as was the opening scene with Georgie. The reality of IT being dependant on the children's belief and fear of IT taps into what we know as reality.
I thought this film was fantastic. I did think the film could have been creepier and even darker, but maybe Chapter Two will dive beyond the abyss.
Overall I would say definitely see this film if you are a fan of the Tim Curry version or a general horror film fan.
Plan Z (2016)
Embarrassingly awful
Right, spoilers, I'm going to rip into this film because its shocking. In every way. It's more like a college project rather than a full on movie production.
The lead actor 'Plan Man' i'll call him, delivers such a one-dimensional, boring and one of the most contrived performances I've watched. Frankly, the whole cast are unconvincing and at times irritating. Plan Mans mate shakes like he is in an earthquake. The plan itself is NOT a plan, its just sit down and move when things become untenable.
ADR in this film is the worst aspect. The people involved in the recording of the sound need to go back to college to re- learn their job. The sound is muffled at best, poor audio clips pasted in, music constantly plays without pause, the ADR is clearly recorded in post production because the sync is way off and the reverb and echo are polar opposite of what the voices would sound like in the actual scene. Plan Man has ONE tone of voice and its an overly self important serious action man impression. It's all terrible.
The last half of the film could be a Renualt advert.
You cant hear the voices for the rain.
The plot is just bland, predictable and by the numbers. There's nothing nuanced or interesting. Its just typical B movie awful, awkward laziness.
They compare themselves to Spartans at the end. Get a grip. You drove a van a hundred miles north, you hardly fended off an army of thousands, you just drove past them.
The blood looks like paint. The ending is sequel bait. 'Lets kill all the zombies', right, erm, OK then but your all nervous beyond belief just looking at one so, are you all going to transform into zombie slaying machines overnight? No. You'll all die through naivety and taking yourselves far too seriously, which is what this whole film does
Its basically Emmerdale: Day Z
There's nothing redeeming about this junk
Don't watch this film. Watch Here Alone if you want a good zombie survival film.
