Awix (3310 KP) rated The Legend of Hell House (1973) in Movies
Mar 21, 2020
Broodingly effective British horror movie is strikingly unlike anything else of its time - not much resemblance to a movie by Hammer, or Amicus, or AIP. Four people move into a haunted house for a week; their beliefs about the supernatural vary, but they are forced to agree there is something funny about the place...
Understated, almost pseudo-documentary atmosphere works in the film's favour; the actors also know to underplay it until the big histrionics are required. Unsettling soundtrack by radiophonic genii Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson is a major plus. The script goes a bit nuts towards the end (don't think too hard about the plot) but the journey to get to this point is more than worthwhile.

A glorious cinematic treat.
Almodovar's latest, this is a film REALLY worth seeing if you can find it in cinemas. A really thought-provoking tale of a man coming to terms with the state of his life in older age.
If you loved Alfonso Cuarón‘s “Roma“, I think you’ll also love this. This is a movie that has stuck with me since I saw it. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed… but if you are, please comment!

It would be easy to go through each scene and illustrate the greatness Fellini puts on display in each one, but I’ll leave that to more learned minds like Ebert, which also shows how personal the film was to him.

Completely entertaining, it was riveting every second. Connie (Robert Pattinson) and his mentally handicapped brother, Nicholas (Benny Safdie, who is also one of the directors), rob a bank. When Nicholas is caught by police, and placed into Rikers Island, Connie does everything to try to bail his brother out. The entire movie spans one day.

Video game based movies have been mostly problematic since their inception. Finding the perfect mix of pleasing fans of the source material while also pleasing the core movie audience is not something to be taken lightly. Pokemon Detective Pikachu came about as close as any comers in recent memory.
There are definitely some things present that will be more noticeable if you are familiar with the Pokemon series, but not knowing that information will not hinder your ability to enjoy the movie at all.
My kids are huge fans of this movie and I have watched it a couple of times without them present. Give it a go, you might be surprised.

Movie starts with a young teen coming home, the house is empty but the egg timer is ticking away, he calls out to see if anybody is home but there is no answer and he thinks nothing of it, finishes his phone conversation and goes to sleep. He is woken up in the middle of the night by the egg timer which is now in his room, this freaks him out and he calls the police, but is interrupted by random photos placed around the house of a secret he has been keeping and we soon have our first kill. A video of his secret is then sent to everyone and as this video also contains another jock, that jock is shunned at school and ends up sitting with a different group of teens, which is who the movie follows.
After the second kill, everyone becomes aware that the killer is going after those with a secret, meaning bad news for one of the teens.
This movie has many cliches used in teen Slashers, such as running anywhere but outside when trying to escape the killer, going to parties despite a killer being on the loose, the killer wearing a mask, people blaming each other and of course the killer having a plan to frame someone. Despite this (and the look a like masks which bared no resemblance to the victims) I did enjoy this movie. The acting wasn't spot on all the time but good enough for me. I also felt that the music wasn't right for the movie as it had more of a strangers things vibe than horror.
