Sarah (7800 KP) rated Strangers: Prey at Night (2018) in Movies
Dec 26, 2018 (Updated Aug 19, 2020)
An unnecessary sequel
Yet again this is another sequel that was entirely unneeded and unnecessary. Whilst the original wasn’t brilliant or a classic, it was at least very creepy and bleak, and the ending was quite interesting and what i found the scariest thing of all about the entire film.
Sadly this sequel fails because it mostly ruins the ending of the first film. It’s initially more of the same but set in a trailer park, with characters who make some very dodgy decisions that wind up getting them hurt/killed. It’s quite bloody and gory at least, and still kind of creepy, and it has a killer soundtrack. The two kids do fairly well, and as with Hard Times at the El Royale, Lewis Pullman really shines and he makes this worth sticking with. The ending however is a little lacklustre and is just your typical horror movie ending. It wasn’t unusual or creepy and bleak like the original, and this is such a shame. Had they improved the ending, I may have rated this a little higher.
Edit 19th Aug 2020:
Having just rewatched the original, I has to return and rate this higher. Not only does it have the killer soundtrack it has some great performances and is a lot more entertaining than the original. There's still a lot of stupidity in this, but it's definitely the better of the 2 films.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Super Dark Times (2017) in Movies
Sep 20, 2017
While not an outright genre film, this dramatic thriller takes a realistic approach to its horror. Visually stunning and quiet, this surreal, haunting take on a coming of age story feels authentic

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated The Master (2012) in Movies
Sep 28, 2017
An ambitious, challenging, and creatively hot-blooded but cool toned project that picks seriously at knotty ideas about American personality, success, rootlessness, master-disciple dynamics, and father-son mutually assured destruction.

Mario & Luigi is a wonderfully Mario game with references all across the board...even knowledge of Dr. Mario plays an important part in some of the gameplay.

There is a sense of finality about A Bigger Bang. It may not be quite the blazing ship to Valhalla they intended, but then nor is it the unmarked grave you might expect.

GameCritics (290 KP) rated Papers Please in Video Games
Oct 15, 2017
t’s bleak, oppressive, perfectly paced and utterly gripping. But with its downtrodden lo-fi visuals and peculiar focus on complicated paperwork, it’s not going to be a game for everyone.

Oct 20, 2017 (Updated Oct 20, 2017)
They take the mundane and ordinary, and make them seem deep and meaningful. It’s something Gone Home excels at, and it’s what makes it worth picking up
