An alien abduction movie supposedly based on memory regression of one of the characters. Plays much more like a soap opera; in an attempt to "flesh out" the characters, we get sappy cliches and mostly sub-par acting. Knyrim tries to build tension but doesn't succeed. The alien effects are decent, but not quite enough to save the movie.
Slickly produced and wonderfully acted by the ensemble cast that each played a multitude of characters in many time periods. The haphazard way the story skitters back and forth amongst the time periods dulls the effect of the movie, as does the liberal message of unity and every life being equal in the grand scheme of things. The entirety of this massive nearly three hour undertaking could have been skipped and the same result achieved by everyone listening to a four minute song by Mandisa called Bleed the Same.
This sci-fi movie is very tame when it comes to special effects and basically has one set until the final moments of the movie. 50 strangers are abducted by aliens and placed in a room in concentric circles. They all face inward and have no memory of how they got there. Every two minutes, a mechanism in the center of the room zaps someone and kills them. The participants realize that they each have a vote in who dies next... It tries to get deep and philosophical, but degenerates into racism and bigotry. Meh.
Atmospheric supernatural horror that could have been much better if the backstory was fleshed out and tied more closely to the victims. Nothing frightening here - just many attempts at jump scares and a chalky apparition with black crying eyes. Some decent unexpected chuckles, which is weird for a horror movie. Linda Cardellini is a fav, so I'm prone to like it more than most.
How this qualifies as horror is beyond me. A band who screams their lyrics agrees to one last show - mostly because the gig they just finished paid them less than $6 - set up by the guy who booked the lame show. So off they go, syphoning gas to get there. The gig is in a remote wooded area populated by skinheads. Being rushed out afterwards, a member of the band goes back for a forgotten cell phone only to find a violent scene in the dressing room. The band is then ushered back in and locked in the room. They must devise a plan to escape with their lives. I was a bored and not the least impressed.
Why does it seem so difficult to adapt King for the screen (big or small)? This was an excellent novel. This mini-series doesn't come close to that adjective. I like Brosnan, but he was totally miscast in this role. The whole thing misses the mark in all aspects: spookiness, tension, level of interest, pacing, etc.
the government is conducting biological population control experiments on small town america. pretty lake is one of the first victims. after the virus is introduced, all residents over the age of 21 die by heaving up their insides, leaving the kids at the mercy of the young adults who have let power go to their heads. love jennette mccurdy. she's pretty much the only reason i watched the 12 episodes of the series.
What was once a very good show has devolved into an average spy drama. The characters that made it so special were all either killed off or forced to leave and replaced with characters we don't know any background on and really don't care about. The only one of these replacements I gave a whit about doesn't make it through this season. What a shame.
Dunham and company continue to run across situations and ideas from Dr. Bishop's past. It just doesn't seem likely that all of the strange things they run into have some connection of Walter, or Bell & Massive Dynamic. Still very good, but starting to stretch believability and credibility.
Solid sci-fi series about a pocket group of human resistance fighters just trying to survive after an alien invasion wipes out much of the population. Noah Wylie plays a likable history professor turned militiaman, second in command to a perfectly portrayed military leader (the underrated Will Patten). These characters feel real and grow over the season. Not quite edge of your seat stories, but cohesively written and well acted. Good stuff.
