They Look Like People (2015)
An unnerving indie film with heart!
I was completely surprised and moved by this movie as I wasn't sure what to expect from a Netflix title. I have to say though that it was a good experience and the acting and bonding by the two main characters was phenomenal. I have never heard of them as actors and have never seen them in any other film. I had a general uneasiness throughout the movie and the story was good enough to keep me focused and determined to see an outcome. If there is an example out there for making a movie on a low budget while delivering unique horror this would be at the top of that list in my mind. The finale had me biting my nails and the ending had my eyes watering as the friendship between the two had reached a tear-jerking climax. Its the type of payoff that I wasn't expecting and left me with a sense of hope. I recommend this film because I am an avid horror fan, but also love good films in general and mostly lean towards the non- mainstream genres. The film may not be everyone, but was definitely a good film for me. Thanks for reading and hope this helps your choice of watching this film.
Apocalypse la 1ère Guerre mondiale (2014)
Brings WWI to life in a spectacular presentation!
I found this series playing on American Heroes Channel one evening and after watching the first five-minutes of the show I was hooked. The storytelling combined with the real colorful images via archival footage was amazing. Even the soundtrack was too-notch and added extra life to the scenes.
Extremely well done, and I would watch again just to try and absorb all the information that is presented. If you didn't know much about WWI and all it's its main characters and events - you certainly will after watching this. WWI was a horrible event that had many differing components, but also should not be forgotten for all the sacrifices that were made. This show definitely does the era justice in a good way! Highly recommended historical viewing!
