#Saraitda (2020) review

 

Terror Level: Low

I can't imagine this movie being without the Coronavirus pandemic in mind. It's interesting to see a zombie film follow what a person does when all they can do is barricade themselves inside their apartment. What are they going to do all alone when they run out of food, water, companionship and things to do? I think this is the perfect zombie movie for 2020 and it'll be interesting to look back at after the pandemic is over. 8/10.

Apollo 18 (2011) Review

 

Terror Level: Medium

This film gave actually at points. Being alone out in space with just one other dude on the moon and finding a dead body gives me the chills. The atmosphere scared me more then the actual monsters in the film. You know I thought they were going to make the rocks work as monsters but them transforming into spiders was just too much for me. Plus this could have really worked as a found footage film if there were less movie effects. The Blair Witch Project and Cannibal Holocaust worked because there were minimal special effects used. Anyway I was into the film but I doubt it would hold up with a second viewing. 6/10.

Re-Animator (1985) movie review


Re-Animator is a fun campy film from the mid '80s that's a loose adaptation of some stories H.P. Lovecraft wrote for a magazine. The best thing about this film is they play around with a lot of ideas like what if we bring a person back to life and they keep bringing it up a notch like when they brought Dr. Hill back to life after his head was severed from his body to bringing his body back to life without his head. I really enjoyed just seeing the insanity of what was happening in the film escalate. I really like the practical effects in this film, with the only bad one I can remember was that cat that West brought back to life because the cat didn't look real at all.

This is a fun film but not great. I'm not watching it anytime soon but I might take a look at it again in October. I was able to see it for free on Hulu and if you can I'd recommend it. 7/10.
