Playdate (2012 TV Movie)

Kept me watching till the end

[5/10 · 27 February 2013]

No Spoilers.

The basic premise of Playdate is one that has been used, tried and tested in at least a dozen movies i can name off the top of my head.

ie'Family move in next door and attract curiosity from there neighbours by odd or suspicious behavior.'

Because these types of films are not new to the genre, there storyline can be stale and formulaic.

However with good performances and a solid screenplay, the antagonist of this movie is ambiguous throughout which leaves us wondering who to trust.

I find that in poorly made movies, the actors respond to situations differently to the way i would or the way reality would dictate.(making it unbelievable) The poorer the movie, the more unfitting and ridiculous the actors respond.

Basing the movie on the unbelievability of there performance I would give it a 5.5/10, although that's not standard for the whole cast.

The end of the movie leaves a few unanswered questions, which is fine as long as it doesn't leave holes in the story, this one doesn't, but i find a bit of resolve would help the conclusion.

Kill for Me (2013 Video)

Much better than a score of 1

[7/10 · 17 February 2013]

This movie definitely isn't below a score of 5.I have watched a lot of movies, some with a score of nine and some with a score of 2. The movie runs together well, and its enough to keep me engaged. As far as its plot, there is suspense and there is twists, not greatly memorable, but this move doesn't deserve a 9 either.

I rated it between a 6 and a 7. Most 5's I find it hard to reach the end of.

Within the first 10 minutes, i realized it didn't have the hallmarks of a great movie(Usually with a score of 9). Which was strange as i saw a score of 9 online originally. After watching the movie and again checking online, I saw a score of 5.7. I noticed a lot of people gave it a 1/10. Its odd to see so many give it a 10 and so many give it a 1.(The 10's were probably from the crew involved in the movie upon its release and the 1's were probably an equal and opposite response by the public in defiance of its clearly exaggerated 10). The movie sits above the halfway of the two scores but not too high. I would recommend watching.
