Visions (II) (2015)
4/10
in the grand old tradition of Rosemarys Baby
25 October 2015
Reviewer Notes, humbly submitted

1. Believe it or not, it was not always fair game to do horror films where pregnant mothers are tormented for 90 full minutes. For that breakthrough in film art, we need to thank Ira Levin and Rosemarys Baby. And yes I am indeed being sarcastic

2. The most impressive thing about this film is the yeoman effort of the publicist who, given a sows ear, has managed to generate buzz to the effect that it is really a silk purse

3. Isla Fisher is the best thing about the film. Given a weak story and weaker script, she manages to hold it together against all odds. And there are a lot of odds.

4. Anson Mount should talk to his agent. Seriously. The same guy who who held HELL ON WHEELS together by sheer presence and physicality, here comes across as a simpering wimp. There is not enough money on the planet to justify taking the role and the potential damage it could do to his career.

Ugh
