What do you mean by "medium" horror?Kill Theory
A medium horror movie. The killer has a goal; to prove that the choice he once made was a choice anyone could do. He killed three of his best friends in a daring mountain climb arguing that it was circumstances where pnly one could survive. He now traps 6 youths and good friends in a house giving them the option. After 7 am tomorrow i'll kill everyone but if only one lives by then i'll let him/her live. How soon until the friends turn on each other?
I meant basically that it was ok. Not original but going along a road that has been traveled on many times. But it stays ON the road. Does not lose control and end up in a ditch like some. It wont win any contests but works if you go along with its premise, the same that tons of other horrormovies has.What do you mean by "medium" horror?
Battle Of The Sexes - Billy Jean King vs Robby Riggs tennis match: true, but so what?
Suburbicon - unfunny black comedy scripted by Coen Bros in their usual private joke mode
The bolted on storyline is irrelevant to the main plot. It's not funny and isn't intended to be funny.he decided to bolt on a whole new storyline to the existing (almost 20 year old) Surburbicon script. The consensus of the critics is that it’s the two disparate storylines and the difference in tone between them that is the major cause of the film being such a mess.
Steppenwolf was first a book.I saw Justice League this afternoon.
It wasn't as bad as I expected, but nowhere near as good as it should have been. At least Superman made me smile this time. There's a great movie waiting for Henry Cavill, if only WB would do the right thing and put director Patty Jenkins in charge of Superman (as I said when I saw Wonder Woman earlier this year, if DC studios wants something done right, give it to a woman to handle). And I can't help but like Jason Momoa, even as an aquatic Rob Zombie. Ben Affleck is good as Bruce and would be such a terrific Batman if they didn't squeeze him into that ugly fat-suit (that costume was ugly when Frank Miller drew it in The Dark Knight Returns, and it's ugly now). Flash was the clichéd comic relief, even though the Barry Allen I grew up reading wasn't a teenage d*uche-bag. And nobody cares about Tinfoil Man.
Still, I'm puzzled. The best film of this year remains Andy Muschietti's adaptation of Stephen King's IT, a $35M R-rated horror film about a demonic sewer-dwelling creature that literally eats the flesh of children. With minimal advertising, it targeted the adult horror crowd, SK fans and those who grew up watching the mini-series. Not a terribly broad demographic as far as the film-going crowd is concerned. Yet a film about a bloody killer clown enjoyed stellar reviews, finally de-throned The Exorcist as the most profitable horror film, and blew through the box office with a final take-home of just under $700M, a number that's usually reserved for superhero films that play to all ages.
Which is why I don't understand how the hell DC keeps struggling at making good films that feature the biggest superheroes of all time. This thing was just plain mediocre. But the worst element was the villain Steppenwolf, a hopelessly clichéd CGI mess of a creature that was a discredit to actor Ciaran Hinds. I don't know which comic-book writer thought it was cool to name an alien warlord after a Classic-Rock band, but it was a stupid idea for the book and even stupider in the movie. What's our League of heroes going to do for the sequel? Come together to kick the bejesus out of Styx and Journey? I hope not, cause all those small town girls living in their lonely world will just stop believing. I nearly did.
Get your act together DC.
Steppenwolf was first a book.
You mean Hesses book? Its not exactly about an alien warlord, is it. I can see how you honor a book by naming a band after it but i seriously doubt the filmmakers even heard of it.Steppenwolf was first a book.
I know, but I doubt the writer who created him ever read Herman Hesse.
