Why would someone capable of appreciating the danger of a plant put that plant in a child's bedroom?

This is the same problem as "A Quiet Place." Oh, the monsters have sensitive hearing? I wonder if we can stun them with sound. Oh, this plant can mess with your mind? I wonder if it will mess with people's minds?

When you make a genre film that fans of the genre figure out by watching the trailer, you need to stop making films in that genre.

I like Tom Riley's sense of humor and wry style. This one is a lot like the first one, and sticks with a simple story that's somewhat derivative, but still fun.

THERE DEMONICALLY POSSESSED DOLS. HE CHAINS THEM UP BACK TO BACK. It's funny. .

I'm rewatching this film and enjoying the quality of the monster suit; it's expressive and distinctive. What's odd is that no one in the story didn't simply let the baby Gorgo go after it becomes obvious what the big Gorgo wants. I mean, buildings are falling on people, tunnels collapsing, etc., and no one except a drunk guy says, "Hey, let the little one go."

Predictable and silly, this badly acted found footage foray feels like it was thought up by people drinking beer on a back porch and then shot over a weekend. There's a vaguely organized demonology mythos that borrows from a raft of movies with a nod toward Christian theology that doesn't exactly follow church doctrine. It even has a 1950s matinee gimmick ending, which will leave you feeling SPOOKY! Or not. Mostly likely not.

This is bad. Really bad. Bad acting, script, sets, everything. It's in English, but its dubbed. Into English. The story is stupid and offensive, the characters laughable. and the acting like the spoken parts of a bad musical. I love movies so bad they're good, but only if they have a sense of humor. This movie has Also Ray and Virginia Mayo instead. And don't forget that when you first see Virgina Mayo she describes her first sexual encounter in a way that will make you not want to have sex. And there's these two guys running around in cut off blue jeans looking for the adult film they're supposed to be in.

"Just turn it around in your mind, and you'll see. See? We're friends already."

So, 1 star as a movie, but 10 stars as something to watch when you're high.

The first moment of "acting" in this film will make you feel really, really good about yourself: If these people can be in the movies, so can you! It never lets up on making the viewer feel far more talented, capable, and intelligent than all the people involved in this film, except for John Carradine and Melvin the Dog, both of whom are above the judgment of mortals. My only wish is that the musical sound track was available on Spotify so I could use it to punish my cat when I'm not home. If you continue watching until the leopard-bikini clad woman says "You are pretty," don't stop, because your wild ride of hilarity is about to attain escape velocity.

But not this time. Was this a pornographic film with the sex edited out? An improvised satire on bad independent film-making? An effort to popularize bad howling sound effects? A promotional video for handheld voice recorders? I'm not sure. "I'm guess I'm gonna have to hurt you, but first I'm gonna have some fun!" If only the movies was fun, I wouldn't have minded the hurt. Also, since when are sororities in suburban tract homes?
