The Eyes of My Mother (2016)
A quiet, disturbing horror film.
I went into this knowing a little about it and came out pleasantly surprised. A fantastic psychological horror film and a great character study. I loved the black-and-white filter. It added to the already unsettling feel. The music and camera work also added to the suspense. Clocking in at just 76 minutes, it may seem short but the run time is actually one of it's many strengths. It never feels bloated and never overstays it's welcome. It's a slow moving film, but I never felt disinterested. In fact, I was sucked in from beginning to end. This is indie horror at it's best. I loved it so much, that right after it ended, I ordered the Blu-Ray off of Amazon. Who said that the horror genre was dead?
Split (2016)
M. Night is back!
I've been a fan of M. Night Shyamalan ever since I saw The Sixth Sense (1999), though I must admit that his last couple films haven't been good. Split changes that.
The story of a man with 23 different personalities living inside him, with the 24th, known as The Beast soon emerging. The idea is original when everything coming out of Hollywood is a repeat. The writing, dialogue and camera work are all done with such precision. M. Night has an eye for camera angles and this is the best it has ever been. The acting from all players were top notch, but the stand out is from James McAvoy, who plays each personalty perfectly. He was creepy and chilling and why he wasn't even nominated for an Oscar is beyond me.
Of course, what is an M. Night movie without a twist. There are actually to in this one, but the biggest twist is the last 30 seconds, and I wont spoil it, but If you've watched M. Night's movies, this one will leave you speechless. It actually gave me chills.
I honestly have nothing negative to say about this movie. This is M. Night back at the top of his game and I can't wait to see what he does next.
