It's Not The House That's Haunted!
I rarely fuck with horror movies nowadays because shit be hella corny to me. I can say this one was done right. I haven't seen a good horror movie like this one in a minute. I can give it the best horror flick in the past 5 years off back. Most horror is on some gory gruesome looking killer doing vicious killing with an unbelievable tracking skill. Not really a big fan of that unless there is something special there.
This started off in typical fashion with a not so typical response. A white family moved into a new house. It started off slowly then there young boy had a fall in the attic playing around. The boy goes into a coma and that's when shit starts going crazy in the house. The house starts showing sign of being haunted. The typical response for a white family in these movies is to try and stay in the house and go to war with the haunting entity. Well they weren't that dumb. They bounced.
I ain't going to spoil it. It will be scary to many. Im a different breed but I will grade this objectively. I recognize the quality here and its good.
My Rating for a good horror film in an age starving for fright.
4.25-4.5 / 5
This was some epic shit right here!!
Shit like this here is why I fucks with asian movies.
You have a semi-character driven movie based on this dope ass thief named Goemon but on some Robin Hood type shit. Jacking rich folks for their shit and giving it to the poor is something he does as a hobby. On top of being a dope ass thief Goemon is a low key dope ass ninja. He is just an all around dope character doing the typical incredible unbelievable shit these asian movies are famous for. Extra'd out jumps and leaps, fast ass reflexes, and the incredible 1 vs 2000 ass whoopings. And all that is executed well.
The visuals on this movie, as well as the story, are what make this one nice. I want to say it looks like a cartoon/comic book motion picture. A little bit like Sin City and 300 with the CGI sets and whatnot. I liked it better than 300 I wouldn't put it above Sin City but it's dope in its own right like Sin City is. Its real colorful but not over the top and it serves the movie well.
The whole ensemble was gelling. I thought it was dope with the all around look, story, acting, and the vibe of it.
My Rating:
5 / 5 Check it out from netflix or wherever if you find it.
Not action packed but decent.
This is more the human will type of movie. A guy goes to a prison camp in around the time of Communist Russia after he gets sentenced to 20 years for treason or espionage(that's spying for some of u ignants out there). In America, I believe that is punishable by death, treason is. But this movie somehow manages to make the Russians look bad for sending this dude to jail.
Once in this cold ass jail the main dude get approached by a co-prisoner and they end up chopping it up about an escape. While dude who came up with the idea was a bitch ass dude and wasn't really with it other prisoners were down. So they escape from this prison in the middle of no where. The fucked up thing is it's winter in already cold ass Russia. Once anyone escape the townspeople will kill anyone as their will be a bounty place on the heads of any escapee so they can't go to town.
So what now? They escape and set of on a journey for thousands of miles in search of India or China for safe haven away from those evil Russian communists. Some die and some live onthis journey. In typical fashion, of these types of movies, there are times where the journey seems impossible. Some want to quit. Some are stronger than others. Some die and say leave me and then you get the "No I'm not leaving you" guy trying to inspire the giver upper. Blah blah blah and they make it.
