Finders Keepers (2024)
It's okay, but...
It's a blatant ripoff, and we all know of what, don't we?
Casting is fine (except for Neil Morrissey, as he's always creeped me out), dialogue is fine, cinematography is fine, blah blah.
It's fine, it's just the blatant-ness of the ripped-offed-ness is so up in your face that it utterly detracts from everything else.
Perhaps it would be less problematic if everything wasn't just "fine".
Don't you find that the minimum character count on IMBD reviews these days is utterly ridiculous, and that if you did use an AI app to create one, it'd be less problematic? I didn't use an AI, and I'm struggling, TBF. Oh, wait, passed the limit.
The Midnight Club (2022)
The show is fine, but Ilonka is the worst person
Ilonka is an awful, selfish, destructive nightmare.
The rest of the young people are all decent characters, but Ilonka is vile.
The performances of the adult cast members are mostly phoned in, probably because most of them aren't in it very much, and Heather Langenkamp has never been a good actress.
The show is mostly watchable, if corny, and it's definitely the weakest of Flanagan's horror series, but if you put it on as background noise while you're doing other things, it's alright.
Oh, and there's a real gaff in Episode 8 where Amesh references an episode of The X-Files which didn't air until 3 years after this story is set.
