The Last Exorcist (2020)
You know it's bad.......
You know it's bad when you get to the point that you can't be bothered to finish it. There are no spoilers in this review. I watch loads of "dodgy horror" and often battle through to the end and have even found some hidden gems. This was not one of them. So bad it's not good. It's just bad. Dreadful story. Annoying characters. Badly acted (but in fairness they can only work with the terrible script). I found myself willing the end to come after 20 minutes. Begging at 40 minutes. Pleading at 45 minutes. It's an 80 minute long film. I gave up at 50 minutes. Therefore that is why there are no spoilers in this review. Whoever timed it and managed to get to the end deserves a medal. There's not the option of giving it a zero.
Prey for the Devil (2022)
Enjoyable
I'd heard mixed reviews about this but had been looking forward to watching it. It didn't disappoint. Quite a good story to it and kept me interested throughout. Some of the acting was a bit "hammy" but thought the lead put in a good performance. Special effects were good enough and as a film it doesn't rely upon gore and shock as horror for entertainment. As with Exorcist III it has the intention of the viewer having to consider the storyline - so if horror of that kind of style is of interest I think you will enjoy this. A slasher or Terrifier it is not.
I'll be intrigued to see if there will be a follow up and I believe there could be some mileage in a prequel as well.
Halloween Ends (2022)
Oh Dear.
Eagerly awaited this movie. Massive fan of pretty much every Michael Myers movies - not a fan of RZ II. Enjoyed the reboot - first one has really grown on me. Kills is an enjoyable film. Trailer for Ends looks magnificent.
Don't think I've ever been as disappointed - possibly the last Matrix is on a par. The storyline starts with some real promise. I was expecting it was setting up the gauntlet being passed. I was expecting it was going to end in a similar vein to H4. Where Michael dies but Evil / The Boogeyman would live on.
After a while you start to wonder where the main man is and if he's actually in the film. Allyson character has no resemblance to the previous films. Where's the storyline? Where's the suspense? Where's the music? Where's the kills?
You sit through it expecting and hoping that there will be a massive crescendo and in fairness just to see how it ends. I'm amazed this got through the test screenings without there being a massive problem being identified.
I'd put it as the worst one as it destroys the reputation of Michael Myers. I'll be generous with a 2-star review. I didn't give up and did get to the end I suppose.
