V/H/S (2012)
Shaky mild horror, not worth paying for, epileptics beware!
Very unpleasant watch, not in a "120 days of Sodom" way. The horror isn't extreme. It's the way it's done.
The CONSTANT shaking is painful to watch, ineffective and doesn't make sense. Some more realistic movements might have helped make the movie what it's trying to be. The strobe-like editing makes it worse.
I guess this format didn't allow to make interesting characters. But if you want to ride the found footage hype, you do need a human filming. (Or a pet with a camera collar).
The very short stories have been done before, better, in older anthologies or movies.
It wasn't even a "so bad it's kinda fun" movie. Just bad. The one star is because they actually went out there and made something. It's a pity rating, which is mean but right now I'm so annoyed at the waste of my time. I'd have left the cinema very angry and gone "Karen" to get my money back.
Curve (2015)
I regret giving this movie a chance.
Below average "let's watch a hot girl suffer" minimum effort movie, I even felt a little angry at the end. Kept hoping for some redeeming qualities, but it never got better. Cliché, silly,
Watch the first 10 minutes, and if you've seen thrillers before, what you think is going to happen will happen. It doesn't get better, just remaining comfy in its basic story.
I gave one star because making a film is hard work, so I respect that. It did not feel like a labor of love, rather the work of someone bitter about their marriage. Or maybe an excuse to get actors to remove their shirts.
Please, pick another movie! Plenty of good ones out there!
