Wayward Pines (2015)
Awesome first season ... then a real crash & burn!
The first season is an awesome affair, we follow Ethan Burke (Matt Dillon) as the secret service agent who goes to the small town Wayward Pines in Idaho to search for his missing colleagues. I found especially the first episodes very intriguing. What I really liked is that I noticed that I changed who to "cheer" for several times during the season as the story developed. The story was very good, my only complaint was that I thought some reveals came a little bit too soon. I think it would have been even more suspenseful if we as an audience got to wait for some answers. Matt Dillon was awesome in the lead, Juliette Lewis is, as always great, and so are Matt Dillons character's son, the actor Charlie Tahan. For some reason I always come to think of Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead) every time when I see Matt Dillon and Lisa Bonet (Cosby Show, Enemy of the State) every time I see Shannyn Sossamon who plays Matt Dillons wife.
So the Second season, talk about crash and burn. Soap opera dialogues and intrigues. No actors with any charisma whatsoever. And I caught myself thinking that I don't really care what's happening to any of these characters.
The Terror (2018)
I must confess ...
I must confess ... I didn't even finish the first season. I watched the first 5 episodes, that was it. Life's to short and there's a lot to watch out there. A mild spoiler ... watch out for the extreme CGI polarbear. Jeez, must have been programed with 1995's techniq.
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
8/10 as a drama show
... but 5/10 as a horror show. Very good show about this family and their destiny, but as a drama show. The horror elements is few, and totally during the 10 episodes you might get 3-4 jump scares. That's it. Some might think it has some creepy moments, but to me the "dead people" look to cartoonish and takes me right out if it.
Troll 2 (1990)
This is awesome!
Holy something ... this is amazing! That someone can actually make a movie this bad is fantastic. Absolutly everything from the actors to the goblins is so terrible that you can´t make it on purpose. You have to be totally delusional to think you made a good movie when releasing it as a horror film to the audience. It´s known as the best worst movie ever, and I get why. Must see soon again!
