Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
1999 | Drama, Romance
A well known film for many reasons, the cast, director and the sex scenes. It's quite a simple story but deals with complex issues and emotions. Once it gets into the whole secret society stage it becomes unnerving and more of a thriller, or does it? You're left to make what of it you will which might bother some viewers. Very well shot, the score is simple but has great effect and with a talented cast. So definitely worth seeing and Nicole looks stunning as always.

I was expecting some blood, gore, violence, and monsters (as you would expect from a novel written by a master of horror) and it was all there, but this isn't strictly a horror novel. It was more of an intriguing paranormal thriller, combined with romance and plenty of drama. The suspense kept me hooked and the believable characters left me thinking about them long after I finished reading the story. I haven't read many Koontz novels, but will definitely be reading more after this one.

Found another great sci-fi drama/ thriller on Netflix called "Ex Machina"(not Netflix exclusive). The acting and cinematography were really good. The story unfolds beautifully and ends with a really good twist. This is a really thought provoking movie about technology and keeps you interested throughout. Alicia Vikander was amazing. She played her part perfectly. There is some full frontal female nudity, but not sex(deals with robots that look human). Not really for kids, but this one is really worth a watch!

This one was in Hulu(but I think it's on Amazon too). The acting and cinematography were ok. The story unfolds well enough, but was a bit predictable sometimes. It's a drama/thriller about a guy who can go into people's memories to help solve crimes. He is on a case to help a young girl who turns out to be smarter than anyone realizes. If you liked inception you'll probably like this one. Worth a watch on a night with nothing else to do.

Great concept Terrible execution
It Stephen King... What’s not to Love???

Answer: This Movie.

The trailer had me hooked, this looked like a great thriller based on kings work, surely a slam dunk in most people’s book. No not this one. Truly the saving grace and the reason I stuck till the end was Patrick Wilson, who’s commitment to this truly outlandish and ridiculous character was utterly commendable so props to him.

Everything else was just Bad Bad Bad

Wait, What?!
If a thriller, murder mystery type thing is what you like then this is for you. It's absolutely mental and I love it. Jodie Comer is bloody fantastic!! I've seen her in my mad fat diary and I liked her in that but this just shows how awesome she is at what she does. I have never seen Sandra Oh in anything before but her performance has encouraged me to seek out more of her work.
DEFO WATCH.

Intense thriller!
Good quality film.

This main character in this movie couldn't have been any better, brilliant actress playing the role of an innocent women being tormented by her obsessive ex.

A good few jumpy parts, the amount of times I said something so loud forgetting I was in the cinema was just embarrassing, so many scenes I didn't expect to happen the way they did, some of my friends weren't overly impressed but I thought every character really built the feel for this film.

Highly recommended.

Odd Thriller
I've put off seeing this for a while as it seems to have mixed reviews. Ambitious perhaps but a film that tries to fit too many genres. The first 2/3 of the film are ok. You think is this going to be a film about a spurred, crazy lover. Or maybe some elaborate conspiracy theory, a romance even. In the final 3rd though it all goes a bit odd and in a direction that didn't fit the rest of the film.

Jump scares! So many of them! I love being scared so this film was great. I didn't think it made sense as a follow on from the first movie though. Thriller to paranormal horror is a massive jump but it kind of worked. I was more interested in the scares anyway so I didnt think about the links. They also added to Brahms' back story to make him more interesting I guess and it worked to an extent. Could have done better but I enjoyed it anyway!
