Paranormal Activity (2007)
What, are all you people who liked this HIGH????
Like many others, I was told by a friends and reviews online that "this movie is amazing"..."horribly scary"..."gave me nightmares...etc.. So I was very anxious to see it. Finally, a Saturday night came around and the opportunity presented itself. Well, to be honest I gave the first hour a pass, even though it was extremely boring and amateur because I had been told to by other reviews that "it's just building". OK... fool me once. After sitting through another hour waiting for the untold HORROR that awaits me, a Ceiling lamp fixture is now moving. Scary -No. Finally I am watching these two kids bumble around their apartment going "What was that"..."Did you hear that".. and then run around the apartment with a broomstick. -A swinging lamp was the most exciting part of the movie. This movie was stupid. Don't buy into the hype. The only thing scary about this movie is how everybody got suckered.
Moscow Zero (2006)
Horrible...Absolutely Horrible
Val Kilmer is almost nowhere in this film -lucky for him! He plays maybe 30 seconds of screen time and his role is completely irrelevant. After seeing the film I couldn't tell you what "role" he plays in the film!!?? OK... they suck you in the first hour by immersing you in dark underground tunnels. Spooky movies filmed in dark underground tunnels easily suck most people in to last the first 30 minutes to an hour. Then you will begin wondering, "why am I watching this?" I remember thinking how easy it must be for a director/writer to use dark underground labyrinths to make a film. Simply film people wandering around in dark tunnels and you have instant "suspense". But that is where this movie goes no further! We all wonder what goes bump in the night, but there is nothing out there in the dark in this film but more darkness. The story is even worse. Apparently there is an underlying story to the film that I learned of "after" watching the film. But the film uses such poor dialouge that it never came across clearly during the screening. I still don't understand what the writer/director meant to say. Some children trapped underground by a misled sister in Russia? Why? Are they in our time -the same time as the characters? Are they ghosts?
This was an absolutely Horrible film that drew me to write my first IMDb review to warn others to avoid it.
