Slender Man (2018)
Makes CHUD look like The Godfather...
With all the prior shorts, movies, shows, and other resources (many of them good) on the internet, you'd think the film makers would have a wonderful palette of fresh and scary ideas to pull from. They did not. It was absolutely terrible. The plot was completely unoriginal (i.e. high school students conduct a seance), the "figureless" and "mysterious" slender man was continuously portrayed as a very distinct and flamboyant hipster, all the characters were victims...I'm just gonna stop. Don't see it. Write your congressman about the tragedy that is Slender Man.
District 9 (2009)
District 9 - Very Cool
It's refreshing to see a modern alien film that doesn't blow. If you're thinking about seeing "District 9", but remember the horrible experiences you had viewing the "Day The Earth Stood Still" or "War Of The Worlds" modern interpretations, don't be scared. It is nothing like that terrible, polished crap. D9 boasts a unique story that will draw you in while maintaining a very realistic feel. The special effects are top notch and the CGI interaction is spot on. At the risk of sounding like a nerd, the alien weaponry is very cool. The bits of humor don't take away from the serious atmosphere and you won't be bored by a single emotion for very long. It left me with a very old-school sci-fi feel. Definitely more of a "dude" flick however.
