Caveat (2020)
Just a notch above
While an above average movie, it has it issues. The acting and writing were actually pretty well done, but as the movie went on, I found my mind wandering a bit. It was brilliant to look at, but as I found myself thinking about the location and atmosphere I realized I was becoming bored. I think overall, if this was shorter and tighter it would be a much better view. Unlike some of the other reviews, I actually liked the ending! I felt for the main character was curious where we were headed. Looking forward to seeing what the director does next, I definitely sense the creativity and talent! Above average, but needed better pacing and it would have landed 2 points higher at least.
The Stylist (2020)
Enjoyable
For a good time call the Stylist! Equally funny and well put together. I rated this a 6 because it is above average and kept me interested the whole time! I watched with friends and we did a lot yelling at the screen, which is exactly what you want for a movie like this. The acting was good, but I think more thought could have gone into the actual creation and artistic value. But, really that is my only complaint. Fun ride from beginning to end!!
Her Name Was Christa (2020)
2 is being very generous
This is what happens when a director also stars in and writes his own movie, two and half hours of "watch how great think I am". The interesting question this movie does evoke is, why would you not just hire a competent actor for the lead of Steven Booth? He was the worst actor in the movie with Christa being a close 2nd. Obviously, the ending, which I really struggled to get to, was suppose to shock and awe, but the FX were so bad, it didn't do anything except make me laugh. The FX on Christa's body in general were head scratching. The movie was very messy, amateur at best and embarrassingly written and acted. Please, all filmmakers, for the love of god, do not star in your movie, it is a really bad look. Let this movie be a lesson to everyone, just because you can memorize lines and say them in front of a camera, it doesn't mean you're an actor. Folks, don't spend the money. There are lots of indie horror movies out there that deliver, this just isn't one.
