Spoilers What Movie Are You Watching?

I found this movie to be, for lack of a better word, dumb. Just plain dumb.

I tried to like Sphere back in the day, but really couldn't.

It's too derivative of the much earlier The Abyss (which I think is slightly overrated), but that was (still) far superior.

There was also the much more intense Event Horizon (which I think is way underrated) the year before, that was also much, much better.

I love Event Horizon. I have one really big problem with it though. When the Evil takes a physical form and face (you know who's taken over), everything goes down hill. It becomes a regular "bad guy slays them all" slasher flick. So the ending should have been different. Until that point, it's brilliant.

Dead Mans Shoes (2004), Shallow Grave, Trainspotting


Watched my uncles funeral via live stream couple of weeks ago. Bit embarrassing if you ask me, his wife showed pictures of him dressing up in women's clothes) He was rich but a fake FXXXXR and his BXXXH wife is a witch. Our family received hand outs on many occasions.

Absolute garbage.

Same old, same old. Pretty much a copy of the 1997 movie. The ending is laughable though. And Freddie Prize Jr. looks old, shockingly old. While I have fond memories of the original, this one is forgettable.

No sure. Very different from the 1985 movie with Nielsen/Schwarzenegger. Felt too long, too boring. Some scenes work really well. Worth to watch for fans of the old movie to see a different interpretation.

Prometheus (2012)

​
In the Alien Franchise arguably this is the most important film after the 1) House of Horror, 2) The Pay Back.
3) Was just more downer horror house fodder. 4) Horrible lure to the box office 5&6) AvP really a different story
7) Prometheus the hope was this was the path forward, major questions answered about the Engineers, and the why? So much potential offered. Shocking, great visuals.

David is a a great character, Android, only as evil as his maker commanded him, he should be viewed as a sociopath. And he proves it in 8) Covenant, just more nonsense that fails the overall potential of a story like this. 9) Romulus just more House of Horrors… been there , done that.

Now ironically it’s a TV series Alien Earth that bring more to the franchise and this is a prequel to the original film but it’s the same universe and might branch off, or maybe finish, at least providing more meaningful meat to this narrative.

I loved shallow grave, kind of creep, funny and sweet, all in one.
