I came across this at the behest of an IG post that intrigued me enough to locate it streaming on the platform with the big colorful bird. Fugit makes some interesting choices and sometimes I enjoy them so I gave it a watch.

One reviewer said it best when they described this movie as being like opening a book midway and jumping into the story.

Two siblings, an elder brother and a sister, are performing murders of local transients, immigrants and prostitutes to drain them for their blood to feed to their sickly younger brother.

Right away it seems apparent the younger brother is a vampire but for all intents and purposes he may as well just be anemic. He had no strength, no supernatural abilities, not even any fangs. He basically just lies around the house drinking blood from a bowl and occasionally singing karaoke or getting bathed by his sister. Made me wonder what the point of him being a vampire was since he can't even feed himself and clearly he's not immortal since the other two have to kill to keep him alive.

If you want to save yourself the time, the older brother struggles with all the killing, in the end the sister dies, the younger brother decides he's a burden I. The eldest so he asks him to pull away the cardboard blocking the sunlight, it's implied he does this so he can die to free the eldest brother but you don't actually see anything.

The. The remaining sibling gets in his truck and drives to the ocean, cut to credits.... There are NO special effects in this movie, say for the gallons of corn syrup fake blood and although the acting is great, the plot line feels like you're stuck in a slow moving airplane that never gets enuf speed to leave the ground.

Just came from seeing Abigail and it was exactly as expected. It was a simple, star-filled horror flick that spends more time laughing at itself than worrying about the holes in the story.

So long as you go into this film looking for entertainment and not factual-accuracy, you should enjoy it.

In a nutshell, a band of criminals is hired to kidnap a 12yr old girl for ransom. While holding her hostage they soon discover that the "girl" is actually a centuries-old vampire (they never say exactly how old). The only remark regarding her actual age came when one of the characters complimented how well she played a little girl to which Abigail replies "I've had centuries of practice".

I won't spoil any of the plot because truthfully there's not much there to spoil. It's mostly jump scares and buckets of fake blood but in the end I came away feeling entertained and not wishing I'd spent my $20 on something else.

If you think yourself "wow how bad must the movie be that they misspelled the name just so that they can try to ride off the, success of that awful Steven king movie?" Well, you are on the right track!

This movie was horrible! The entire plot of this movie was so bad. The only good thing I have to say about it is that I'm glad it's open! The script was unimaginative at best although wasn't bad, you can't say a bad movie with good actors. The whole printer is that a father takes his girlfriend and his son up to a cabin where apparently the young boy mother was murdered some ??? Years ago, there while he runs off to the city to tend to a songwriting emergency???

, The young boy goes into the whole "you're not my mommy "routine and ultimately becomes possessed by a poorly created CGI spirit trapped in a bargain bin, Dreamcatcher.

One day, 2 Hour long way. In the ending leaves a lot to be desired! I am happy that I missed this movie when it came out, and very sorry that I caught it now.

Ryan Murphy is obviously obsessed with witches. Personally, I find the subject "slightly interesting " at best, certainly not interesting enough to be the basis for 3+ seasons.

That being said, "Delicate" was just Rosemary's Baby with a hack-writer rewrite and a LAME finale.

The entire season, I'd hoped there would be more that would reveal itself but guess what? There ISNT!!!

Blah blah blah, witches do witchy things, blah blah blah, Emma Roberts mumbles some Latin and destroys the bad guys (or gals, as the case may be) and poof! All is right with the world!!

Knowing what I know now, I never would have even bothered to watch the season. The "finale "was the biggest disappointment to date! I really feel like Ryan Murphy used up all his best tricks after season five and since then has just been either remaking, lame, modernized versions of old horror, movies, or just rambling off some gibberish with some witches thrown in. I probably won't be watching another season, if they even bother to produce another season after this bomb.

This show had so much promise, a great cast executing what appeared to be a true "who done-it"but somewhere along the final episode the entire thing fell apart. Right away, my immediate grievance was the complete lack of realism. Nowhere in reality can a couple in America raise FOUR kids and put them thru schoolAND start their own successful business AND have this big lavish home, but it's not reality, it's TV.

So here's the plot in a nutshell, a newly retired couple is dealing with learning what life looks like now that they're no longer running their tennis-coaching business. When the mom goes missing, the father immediately becomes suspect #1, even his kids come to suspect his guilt. Let's just say he does himself NO favors in assuaging his family of his guilt.

Now, spoiler alert!!!

In the last 39 minutes of the series, we learn that the entire time the "missing" mom just felt sorry for herself and decided to take a short break in a cabin in GA the entire time with some random chick that she'd met.

Finally she comes back home, everyone cries and hugs and gets released from prison...tears are shed, all is forgiven, now let's have a family project and clean the storm debris from the personal tennis court, cut to black... This show greatly disappointed me. I wished I'd read more before sacrificing my Saturday to watch this letdown.

I'd heard so much about the book (that I'll never read) that I had expectations for this to be a solidly-engaging film. My mistake was having expectations. The entire movie felt like a plane that never left the runway.

The director never explains why everyone is supposed to know this "marsh king" since, prior to his arrest, the biggest thing he'd done was kidnap a woman, force her to have his daughter, then shoot some guy on an ATV. Not to minimize those crimes, but they would hardly make him as notorious as the movie expected him to be. I also didn't believe that in 20 years since being "rescued" from her situation, his daughter wouldn't have gotten tattoo removal, much less psychotherapy for all her. "Trauma" But no, they never bother to build "the marsh king" up to his "reputation ", instead, the whole thing ends with his daughter killing him in a creek during a shootout. I won't say the entire society was a waste of time, at the very least it kept us engaged, but just don't go into it with expectations and they won't be let down.

For me, this was one of those movies you run across on Saturday afternoon when looking for anything to watch. At first it seemed promising, Cillian Murphy and Sigourney Weaver as scientists set out to bust fake psychics like Houdini back in his day...the duo has a "white wale" in Steven Silver (DeNiro), a blind man who is a world-renowned psychic come out of retirement for one last performance.

Weaver's character doesn't make it thru the first half of the film, which emboldens Murphy to prove DeNiro's character to be a charlatan.

Murphy is always entertaining to watch, however he grossly overacted in this one. His character's motivation to go after DeNiro seems entirely unexplainable, resulting in a final screen where he challenges DeNiro in a crowded theater and DeNiro's character goes in a ridiculous rant from being challenged.

Ultimately, Murphy proves DeNiro's abilities to be fake and that he can actually see. Murphy throws a coin and DeNiro catches it out of reflex.

Murphy doesn't really "prove" anything, so much as he just babbles to the audience about not believing.

In the closing scene, it's honestly unclear to me whether Murphy's character actually has psychic abilities himself or not but it seems that's what's implied.

It wasn't necessarily a bad film, just over-acted and with a really weak, anticlimactic conclusion.

For killing time in. Saturday, it's fine, but beyond that it's a letdown.
