Gisaengchung (2019)
A dismal piece of garbage
Seriously a recycle piece of dreck that piggy backed off the writing off of others. I just feel it was the abcs of death g is for grampa, or amazing world of gumballs "whose in the house" it just got a dragnet treatment to avoid claims of plagerism.
My main complaint is that their is never a suspension of disbelief. I cannot understand how a person can have another person living in one room and never know this. How these uber scary loan sharks never investigated the womans place of work for method of contacts. How a man could have a house in a flood zone and not have it checked for annually checked issues like bugs, vermin and other parasites along with potential waterdamage or radium cracks. Also since a ghost was spotted down there and they believe in it you think they would have had a monk/priest or hoodoo practitioner to kick its butt out. Sorry while the plot is interesting it only works if everyone involved has diminished capacity just like the people under the stairs by wes craven
But hey if you like the movie enjoy it. Everybody has there own opinion this is just mine
The Void (2016)
Death Cultist fun
This movie has a special pedigree as its often treated as a joke genre. This movie pays its dues to the movies that inspired especially near the end where you are left feeling you have seen this movie before but in a good way.
Before watching I suggest watching these movies below as most palettes are used to splatter fest serial killers, zombies, or weird creature features.
Lord of Illusions
The Nineth Gate
Phantasm 3 (this one fits this type of movie better)
Event Horizon
Gremlin (2017)
Bad acting/bad creature design
The survival instincts of the characters of this creature feature were worse than a zerg rush. It seems that literally the family fighting the creature threw every member at it trying to beat it. Because they are not murderers. The family doesnt even hardly fight the thing its like the characters gave up at the beginning.
The creature is about the size of a chihuahua. Its hard to be intimidated by it. Lets imagine this put a chihuahua on chopstick stilts and give it butt knives anyone who was not caught of guard should be able to kick or swat it away in which the the teen daughter shows this is possible and the 9ish son tosses it. So this in the end is like the wilderness magazine that tried to pass off the 15 minks as a life or death struggle.
So they really need to focus on better creatures or make the creatures behave in ways that make them more threatening
The Creature Below (2016)
Why compare it to Lovecraft when.......
The movie is basically an attempt of making dark brooding version of Little Shop of horrors. The more you watch the more the similarities are going to come to light. From the creatures first feeding attempts to its reaction to blood. The lead character even shares a suckling seen similar to Rick morranis and audry.
I will give it is sufficiently changed from the source material to not call it a copy it does fit in line as far as plot development
