An error has ocurred. Please try againAlso I watched a lot of movies which were just not worth my time and I've dropped half way, and I didn't add them to this list.
For the ratings, I only started rating them a few years ago, so only about half of the movies in this list are rated.
I usually have this rule: if it was worth my time to watch a movie till the end, even just only to satisfy my curiosity about it and nothing else, I give it a 6. If it was more than just that, I give it progressively more than 6, and if it wasn't worth my time after all, I give it a 5, and less and less depending on how much I disliked the movie.
I usually rate documentaries very high because I think gaining knowledge on a real-life topic is much more valuable than just being entertained for 90 minutes.

Aishû Cinderella (2021)
Who in their right mind writes stories like this
I really wanna know who comes up with stories like this, who approves big-budged, big-stars movies for them, and who the target audience is supposed to be.
So the movie is kinda like a two-tone movie, with the first 45 minutes being somewhat of a romantic comedy and the rest of the movie being quite different. I don't have a problem with that.
The problem is that after we start getting introduced to the idea that "something is wrong", the behaviour of the characters starts to make less and less sense. I get it that a character can be revealed to not be who they seem to be during the story; but is the main character, who for most of the movie is depicted as nothing but a benevolent heroine through and through, also supposed to turn psycho and literally murder a whole classroom (or perhaps a whole school) of innocent elementary students? Like, WHAT THE FUG, really? What is the audience supposed to feel? What's the intended emotional response for the makers of the movie? Disgust? Confusion? Regret of spending two hours watching this crap? If that was the goal, congratulations to the director/screenwriter, because I feel all of those things.
And beyond the shock ending, the story as a whole doesn't really make much sense. We are told that the father of the family has experienced some trauma with his mother as a kid, okay, but why or how this trauma is still somehow lingering over him and even more so his daughter, is not really delved into. And what's the deal with the ex wife? What's the deal with the weird painting, why do they put super creepy eyes on their family portrait? What the real deal with the infantile regression? What's the deal with the daughter having a sudden change of behaviour from one scene to the next? What's the deal with their left ears? Yes the father was slapped by the mother and almost became deaf from the left ear, but why would the daughter have that trauma too? We can only speculate, but I don't think a good story leaves so many plot holes.
I can take a shock ending or a complete change in direction for the story, but it has to make sense. The characters in this movie didn't make much sense and their story is hardly well explained.
Crimes of the Future (2022)
Definitely an original story
I gave this movie a 7/10 because the story was definitely original with some interesting ideas overall. Although I have to say that this movie was quite slow for me, at times I felt it was a bit boring. I only gave it one watching but I think some plot points were a bit confusing, but the broader story made sense and it had a decent closure. Not a horror movie, but some scenes or even just some concepts from this movie are going to be disturbing for certain people.
X (2022)
Bland and uninteresting
Who, who is leaving reviews on here giving this movie 7s, 8s, and higher? I was fooled by the decently high score on this page and decided to check the movie out. The premise is fair although pretty long. Then 1 hour into it the "horror" element actually starts and... it's the most bland, generic and uninteresting kind of horror. No thrills whatsoever, no kind of interesting plot device going on, no reason for this story to exist at all. Just senseless gore and murder. All of the cast gets killed, then the bad guys die too, and the "final chick" survives and escapes. Textbook definition of uninspired horror.
In Fabric (2018)
Artsy Fartsy
Starts off decently with a credible plot. That, however, ultimately leads to a boring mess of a story which doesn't really go in any particular direction. It becomes evident before halfway through that this is another self-indulgent artsy fartsy production. Ended up watching it at 2x speed and it was still a slog to get to the end.
