Very well executed
... View MoreI like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
... View MoreClever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
... View MoreUgh, I'm SO annoyed by some of the ratings on here. I watch a lot of low budget-ish horror. Often in the 4-5-6 rating- range. Although, I mostly skip those with a rating of under 5, because they are rarely any good. However. This one currently has a rating of 5.7. That's not that low, but it is too low. It should be in the 6-range somewhere. Why? Because it looks good. It's never boring. Has a interesting story. And has some pretty cool characters - Liam Cunningham being one of them. He's not like unforgettable or anything, but he has a strong presence to him. And I think the fact that he is in it, is some of the reason for this movie having a lower score than it deserves. That's gonna attract people that normally wouldn't watch this type of horror movie, and so, they expect something else than what they get. Expectations play a HUGE role in how you like a movie, unfortunately. If you go into this expecting a entertaining, relatively small, horror-thriller, I think you'll enjoy it. I've seen so many movies with scores in the 5's, and most of them suck. This doesn't. So yeah, you can't always trust IMDb-ratings. Too many people give bad ratings to be shocking, or to seem interesting. And that is, to quote the President, SAD.

View MoreA-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Let Us Prey" (NR - 2014 - Ireland)Sub-Genre: Psycho/ParanormalMy Score: 7.3Cast=5 Acting=9 Plot=6 Ending=9 Story=7 Scare=7 Jump=4 F/X=9 Psycho=10 Creep=7Held in a remote police station, a mysterious stranger takes over the minds and souls of everyone inside.I'm not sure who the mysterious stranger was...was he fate? Was he an angel of death? Or did Professor X turn evil? The way he goes about it was brutal and exciting...I can't say I understood it but I couldn't help but watch! The movie had kind of a Stephen King feel to it...you definitely don't want to be in this little black book. Watch this one when you get a chance!!
... View MoreAs a young police officer witnesses a drunken youth hit an old man with his car, only for the old man to mysteriously vanish from the scene of the crime, 'Let Us Prey' gets off to a promising start. Things get even more interesting as the youth denies the accident and the policewoman's superior even starts to doubt her testimony despite there being blood on the young man's car, and when the injured old man is minutes later tracked down and brought in for questioning the film reaches its utmost fascinating. All of this solid build-up is, however, unfortunately used up on a familiar story that blends possession and retribution elements and is perhaps best thought of as a cross between 'Ghosts of Mars' and 'Devil'. More problematic than the familiarity of the tale though is the plethora of unanswered questions that come with it (especially why the old man wants to draw the process out) and the frantic, frenetic pacing of the material. The film is loaded with flashbacks as the old man manages to stimulate memories in those he encounters, but the extremely quick flashes that we get never allow us to bask in the gravity and seriousness of the situations being remembered. It does not help that none of the characters are particularly likable either. The film is topped off with an excellent final scene though and there is a lot to like in the basic concept of flawed individuals being brought together for punishment (think Agatha Christie's 'Ten Little Indians'), but this has been better done elsewhere, so one's mileage with the film may vary.
... View MoreI don't review a lot of movies. Mostly because i can agreed with what the majority feels about it. But when i stumble on a hidden gem that's not recognized then yes i will speak my mind.I went to see this film just because i love Ms McIntosh in her roles. And shes a beauty as well so yeah that's out. When i saw the trailer and cover i thought this would be at least a little entertaining. Oh was i wrong.The movie starts slow so you'll have to stick with it for half an hour but you will probably not regret it. It just needs that time to have the story open up to us. So without giving spoilers..if you like a thriller with horror elements and you don't mind a low budget that's remarkably well done... then i recommend this.I still have hopes that this will have a follow up. There is still enough left to validate one. When you've seen the ending you might think so as well.
