Hypnotic (2021)
Your eyelids are not feeling heavy
My wife and I really enjoyed this. Well paced if not a little fast. The bad guy was revealed pretty early on but that was deliberate to the plot. The acting was good as was filming and sound quality. I felt drawn in til the end.
Alone (2020)
Ignore the haters.
Who cares if it's better or worse than the Korean version. This was an enjoyable, well paced film. Had a good mix of despair, horror ,hope and romance. Some truly edge of your seat moments. The zombies were fast and plentiful. Reminded me of those from 28 days later. Yes, there were the usual stupid moments as in most horror films, such as being in intense situations but easily dropping your guard, putting your weapon down, not locking the door etc etc. While being annoying I guess these things happen to add tension. What did bug me though was the main actor. I think he'd been hired from over actors anonymous. In a movie where the idea is to be quiet to avoid zombie detection this bloke shouts, screams and grunts at every opportunity. Anyway, overall it's worth a watch.
Welcome to Sudden Death (2020)
3 is generous
I always assumed films had a bigger budget than tv show episodes. But in this case I think UK daytime tv deserves an Oscar over this trash. The acting is hilarious. It's hard to tell if scenes are supposed to be serious . Everyone seems as if they've been dragged of The street. Looking at the camera, over the top camp acting that often doesn't relate to the scene. The fighting is pure comedy. Michael Jai White is very slow and wooden in acting and fighting. At the beginning when the building blows up he runs away with his hands waving in the air. When fighting he often stands there unable to avoid a punch then tries to hit someone and misses by miles. Fight scenes are very slow. The fight involving 3 henchmen reminded me of Bruce Campbell fighting multiple mini versions of himself in Evil Dead 3. Or a typical 3 Stooges bit of slapstick but not as good. When the governor gets shot in the head he pulls a funny face as he goes down. My wife and I were laughing out loud throughout. The good thing is , at 76 minutes, the film is mercifully short.
