Some truly awesome kills (damn near perfect scenes on their own), but also so meandering and drawn out. An interesting concept but does absolutely nothing with it
There is only so long I can watch a guy walking through a forest from behind, with only small moments of excitement to keep me going…

Pretty enjoyable low-budget horror story, albeit a clunky one.
Loved the intriguing setup and premise, as well as the central performance by Carolyn Bracken.
While consistently eerie, Oddity suffers from a fairly predictable and unsatisfying 3rd act (with the exception of its final minute).
Many key moments ended up feeling a bit underwhelming. This is likely the result of budget constraints, but I would still have appreciated more creativity from the execution nonetheless.
Nice movie 👌🏼 that final shot is really cool

There’s barely a story. However, the score and cinematography are magical, the vibes are dreamy, and the antics range from humorously sincere to mildly entertaining and gross.
Really strange film that I sort of loved in its own way. I can see most people getting absolutely nothing from it, which is understandable as there really isn’t anything substantial that occurs for a large duration. Managed to feel rather poignant by the end though
A Sasquatch can be considered the midpoint between human and ape, it’s interesting to see where each side shines through.
Probably best paired with magic mushies

Doesn’t hold up as well as I remembered due to the dated CGI. Movie would’ve been way cooler with more practical effects.
Brendan Fraser is cute as heck and really sells the ‘Geologist Indiana Jones’ role. The chemistry between the three leads is sweet to see progress as the film goes on.
But yeah, unfortunately there’s a large portion of this movie which looks like dogshit. Weird pacing too from the 2nd act onwards
Society was robbed from getting the potential Atlantis sequel.
Instead, we got The Rock…

Kathryn Newton steals the show (honourable mention to Carla Gugino)!
Movie was bizarre yet charmingly so. Things seemed to get a bit tonally muddled as it went on which created a few pacing issues for me. Felt the more satirical 1st half was stronger overall, but it does go in some interesting directions!
Would definitely watch again! If only to appreciate its passion for horror comedies of the 80s
-
An electrifying central performance, the Tarantino-esque editing style, and some really pretty, neon soaked camerawork are definitely the film’s strongest points.
It did feel a little overindulgent at times. A bit rough around the edges. Fumbles it’s ending somewhat.
A fun and creative little thriller nonetheless! Worth checking out

Mr. Crocket is an amazing character and a completely horrifying horror icon in his own right. I really hope he gets the Terrifier treatment!
A terrific villain caught in the confines of a lazy, depressing, boring, modern horror movie. Again, I REALLY REALLY hope he gets the Terrifier treatment.
There is massive potential to be had! It’s just squandered here

Actually insane. Completely schizophrenic and cooked in all the best ways! Definitely a milestone in practical effects and splatter horror
Fuck yeah! Dr Satan!

I haven’t watched one of these hallmark Christmas movies before so I’m not sure what I was expecting…but wow.
I challenge someone, anyone, to find one thing here that is well executed and not completely patronising.
Actual disaster, almost makes me resent the fact we invented film.

These days I’m somewhat skeptical with the Alien franchise, but this was a fairly pleasant surprise.
After a somewhat rocky start, the film kicks into gear and doesn’t stop until its final harrowing minutes; an absolutely insane final act. Fede Alvarez has constructed what I think to be a relatively faithful but overly referential continuation of the mythos; combining the original premise with aspects of the series’ Prometheus era.
While it doesn’t capture the magic of the masterpieces Alien and…

★★★★½ Watched 09 Nov 2024
Had a semi religious experience with this one.
My new favourite Miyazaki!
Loved everything about this and felt the beat of its heart so loudly. What a soundtrack! What beautifully empathetic and human characters! WHAT A SOUNDTRACK!
you bite nature and it will do more than bite back. Miyazaki saw this in 1984, why are we still hesitant to grasp it??
