The Northman (2022)
Great historically accurate Viking fantasy
This movie was everything I expected and wanted in a viking saga. The actors were great and delivered a dark story of vengeance and fate. For those who claim a rip off of Hamlet. Just remember that Hamlet was the story of a Dane prince, a viking. This is one I plan to watch again and again.
Angels of Death (2021)
Story is interesting, Sound is terrible
Right away when the series opened I had a problem with the face of the space marines. For being the sons of the angel they neither look or sound angelic, not a single one. The story is pretty good and for the most part the animation is good. The series truly falls short with the sound design. There is no weight to anything. A Storm bolter tossed to the ground sounds like someone just dropped a toy gun. This weapon must weigh like fifty pounds or more. The chainsword sounds are from the default sound pack of a video editing software. It is truly terrible. The voice acting is wonderful for almost everyone. Like I said before though, the Blood Angels sound more like the veterans of fifty years of cigarette smoking.
Black Pumpkin (2018)
Fun characters played by good actors
Yes it is a cheesy Halloween movie, yes it is made in the style of eighties movies, but it is a fun watch. The majority of the characters you like and root for. So sit back and enjoy a good popcorn flick for halloween.
W lesie dzis nie zasnie nikt (2020)
Great fun
This movie uses cliches for the entertainment. A slasher schlock fest that makes the cliches fun. It is great to see good entertainment. Good quality acting and cinematography made this film and bloody romp through the polish woods.
Sea Fever (2019)
Good creature feature!
This movie was a delightful surprise. Fairly unique story with good actors playing realistic characters. This is not an action movie so do not go into this movie expecting an alien like experience. Overall just watch and enjoy.
October Faction (2020)
Good premise not so great execution
The teenage twins are poorly written and over dramatic. The father is by no means a monster hunter. He looks like he spent his whole life computer programming not running around as a monster assassin. I was super into the show until they made the father with the hot Bad A55 wife cheat on her. I am only on episode three but I do not have much hope of this redeeming itself for me to want a second season.
Draug (2018)
Great fun
The historical authenticity they gave this film was great and lent a hand in shaping the horror. The actors were well chosen and I enjoyed their characters. The special effects were not AAA but it got the point across and was done in such a way you would have to really scrutinize scenes to notice. So watch this film and enjoy a good time period horror movie.
Doom: Annihilation (2019)
DOOMED for blandness
The cast know nothing of acting as if they are military nor do they look it. Somehow fully trained soldiers are taken out by blueish zombies, which are not in the DOOM video game. No DOOM marine only compounds the terrible decisions that were made in this film. The UAC soldiers wear sad paintball looking outfits that do not resemble the gear in the games what so ever. The majority of the acting is as stated in other reviews poor and stale. I enjoy B movies and other movies so bad they are enjoyable but this is not really enjoyable. This was a meal that had no sweetness, savory, or really any flavor at all.
