Diagnosis Murder: The Last Resort (1998)
Shutter Island plagiarised this episode
It's basically the synopsis for shutter island 12 years earlier, I hope the writers of the show actually sue the movie and novelist
Malicious (2018)
The real malicious one is the husband!
I was going to rate this high because I did enjoy it but the ending made me far too angry.
Why after all that happened to your wife would you send the box to her sister....she didn't know there was an entity in it when she gave it....what did she actually do to peeve off the husband so much, apart from tantalising his fantasies which wasn't even her....maybe you should've believed your wife when she told you she was having visions....think we all know who the true malicious one is!!
Ocean's Eight (2018)
Could've been a far easier way to exact revenge.
All that just to get revenge that you could've got whilst you were still in prison.
I really thought there was gonna be a twist and Sandra's character was really after revenge with Cate's character as she introduced Sandra to the ex and they set her up as the fall guy or something BUT nope it was all about the ex boyfriend that she could've set up in a far easier more effective way, and with all their combined computer skills there's a million ways you could've got money, it was just a promotion of the fashion industry in particular Cartier, and the technology to carry out the heist unbelievable. And the decision to break up a priceless piece of jewellery, hello...heard of the blackmarket anyone!
I was happy for an all female cast, (unlike some reviewers) but can they PLEASE get it right next time, we deserve far better!
Ride (2018)
I would've kicked him out my car within minutes
You had two leads who had chemistry, but some of the acting was off (and I've seen them act better, so I'm gonna say it's the script and direction at fault) and you messed it up BIG time. I wanted to like the movie because of the actors but I don't think I want this writer or director to make another movie, sorry.
So many things annoyed me mainly the killer, he wasn't scary but unbelievably irritating, in real life you'd kill HIM before he could kill you!!!
And going into a covered pool as the only logical hiding place....absolutely absurd.
No comprehensible motive for why he did what he did, and how was he gonna pick up James next passenger without a car?!?!
I watched this for free, if I paid I would definitely get my money back.
Look Away (2018)
Enjoyable but left with unanswered questions
I enjoyed the film, preferred the acting of Airam over Maria, (I know it's the same actress), the ending was confusing, my take is that Maria is also hugging her mother from the mirror world.
I really wanted to know what kind of deformity Airam had, I have a feeling it was minor, but one her vain, shallow head-case father thought was worth her dying. I felt that this could've opened up talks about ableism because people have killed their children with disabilities far too often, and how did the parents get away with leaving Airam to die in the cold in the first place.
She didn't need to kill the boyfriend, the people being mean to her deserved some kind of punishment I think death was a bit too far, but the father who I was happy to see die, deathscene was too quick, could've had more discussion between them and I wanted her to reveal who she really was.
I actually had a nightmare involving this film the next night, not that it was scary but definitely got stuck in my head. Worth a watch.
Searching (2018)
All the clues are THERE!!!
I really loved this movie. I had a feeling who it was because of the way that character came into contact with the father I knew was unusual.
When you find out who it was you can go back and all the clues are there on the computer screen, it's excellent.
Fine cast, John Cho excellent, loved Debra Messing in her role, she needs to do more stuff like this. The less known actors were good too and add a sense of realism to the film.
I think unfortunately despite the very high rating and viewer reviews this movie will be overlooked, it's not getting the buzz I thought it would but I hope it does well.
In Darkness (2018)
Glad to have seen it despite the plot hole twist still worth watching
The film was thoroughly enjoyable I was screaming for her to kill the "expletive word" but then the twist came at the end and you have to go back and question why!
I can understand her pretending to be blind to draw in the man she wants to kill who happens to have a thing for blind women, (although you don't need to do that your whole life, maybe she thought he could tell so she wanted to be as authentic as possible) BUT there's so many plot holes after that. 1. She could've easily killed him with the poison as she wasn't blind. 2. When she slipped on the scarf, why hurt yourself 3. Lying to the man who adopted her (remember she couldn't read the usb).
After she had the first chance and failed I think she was still pretending to get the brother to save her, but that still doesn't make sense, like telling the street violinist to signal her when he's following her, and if she knew she was being followed why would she risk leading them to the man who was like a father to her.
Also the movie didn't have subs for the Bosnian parts.
I could forgive the reveal if she was only lying to those she needed to get something from but all of the scenes with just herself she was still lying, if they had left those out then you could've gone back on the movie and been like "oh, we only saw her acting blind around others" but that's not the case and still doesn't change the fact she missed her first chance to kill him!!! *The ending makes it seem that this wasn't traumatic blindness that she recovered from but calculated so that theory goes out the window.*
It's still worth a watch even if you feel a little frustrated. Natalie is a great actress and I believe this is her first project behind the scenes also, I hope her career in filmmaking continues.
I Still See You (2018)
Ok I cried a little
***I'm giving this 10 because it most definitely doesn't deserve the 5 rating whatsoever, all because some people decided to rate it undeservedly low***
The lead actors were great (I don't see why Bella Thorne gets so much hate), the lesser known actors were amazing too and I hope this movie helps them breakthrough.
Original concept, they could've done many several different movies just on this idea alone!! It was a bit obvious who the killer was, although the "science" behind why they killed still doesn't make sense, I think it was emotional desperation more than anything else.
Some parts were cheesy/cliche, can't deny but not enough to spoil the film but enough that you're disappointed because it could've been perfect for the movie. They could've left out the Victorian ghosts and added more people of colour, it is set in Chicago after all.
I loved the endings with the dads, and yes I cried OKAY!
