The Sleep Experiment (2022)
Cringe
This movie is ass and the acting is terrible. Multiple times the characters double state things, redundant script. Nothing was surprising or exciting, just a handful of really crappy actors in one room yelling at the walls. Also, that scene where the one guy is hallucinating his mother and he's walking around mumbling in the spotlight, that scene alone has got to be one of the cheapest and cringiest scenes in the history of film, ever, next to the street performer that was casted as an evil psychologist. Did this film even get a fair chance? Did the actors, directors, producers even try? Snore.
Nefarious (2023)
Psychology and Religion
For any major/minors out there trying to interlace psychology and religion, let this movie be a warning that you're beating a dead horse. I loved the psychology aspect of 'Nefarious'; as a criminal psychology major, these moments of delving into the psyche of someone potentially too mentally ill to answer for his atrocious crimes is, in a word, juicy. Admittedly, throwing some religious propaganda on top was entertaining, in a sense. But let's not forget that theology is not the cause of misunderstanding psychology, it is the effect.
Remove the fairytale at the end of 'Nefarious', and it suddenly becomes a very sad psychological film about a violently mentally ill man that was murdered instead of treated, which is the undeniable truth of an overwhelming amount of prison deaths and executions.
The Curse of La Patasola (2022)
Naomi
Naomi makes this entire movie insufferable and that's all there really is to know about it. The plot, the horror, and the dialogue all gets lost in how unbearable this character is. In addition to this, Sarah is like a six year old in an adults body, Daniel is the jerk we all know and avoid at the grocery store, and James is only there to support Naomi being there which frankly... miss me with it. I'd rather watch paint dry. The director is trying so hard with dialogue that he completely forgets the plot; it's almost like a liberal arts student had some much word vomit he decided to aim at a piece of paper and we were unfortunate enough to be convinced by the trailer that it was worth watching.
