Borley Rectory (2017)
Quite dull
I appreciate that a lot of work went into this film, as so much of it was heavily animated. But it's a boring ploddingly dull documentary at the heart of it, with minutes at times between narration while actors flail around enacting mundane moments.
Read a book on the subject, you'll grin more in an hour that way.
Snowpiercer: First, the Weather Changed (2020)
A horribly edited mess
To begin this, I'd like to point out that I have not yet watched the original film Snowpiercer, nor have I read Transpierceneige the comic that both film & show are based upon. Thus I have no predisposition to base it upon.
This episode was awful. A hodgepodge of ideas and clumsy exposition. The median shot length was about 1 second with countless cuts, jarring continuity and tonal jumps, and no sense of scene to scene pacing. Has every indication of an episode that has been butchered down and reshot and recut to death in order to get across the most information to the audience in the quickest, not the best, way possible.
As a result the show feels like a bad Syfy channel special, despite a clear high budget and great actors. But the direction is poor, the cinematography jumps from decent to terrible every few seconds (presumably when it cuts from principle photography to 2nd unit reshoots) and lead actor looks goofy and mucks about like he's in a kids show.
I've heard the film is good. This is not.
