Dean (6927 KP) rated Wishmaster (1997) in Movies
Jun 10, 2018 (Updated Jun 5, 2020)
Good Horror Premise
A fun idea for a new slasher premise, at least 3 sequels were made. The SFX do look a bit dated now and the gore effects, along with a lot of elements to the film do look a little low budget. With Wes Craven as exec producer and starring Robert Englund and cameos by Tony Todd and Kane Hodder adds a few nice touches for the horror fans. Andrew Divoff plays the evil Djinn very well and with a dark sense of humour. It is a bit cheesy but has a certain charm to it, one for gore fans and horror buffs will enjoy it more than most.

I love this movie
I watched this movie when I was way too young, and it terrified me. Fast forward years later when I had my first kiddo, she was asleep up in her room, and I went to watch the movie again. Quickly it occurred to me that I couldn't watch it. I was still so scared of that movie that I was sure my kid was going to get possessed or something from me inviting evil in the house.
Completely ridiculous, but there it is! LOL
(I've since lost some of my fear of the movie and now can just giggle about it.)

Dash, violet & jack jack.

(So a family of four heroes, working for a secret evil genius, who they personally know? Are we sure this isn't a MARVEL movie?)

Good Quality VR, Good Range of Games
The PlayStation VR is a fun, immersive way of playing a good range of Games and experiences...and scaring the hell out of loved ones.
The quality of the hardware is excellent, although no matter how you put it on, some light will always sneak in from somewhere, which does detract from the full immersive experience you were hoping for.
One of the best examples of VR games (albeit the most unnerving) is Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, which is ok to play normally, but made all the more terrifying in VR!

I received a copy of The Grace Year from Wednesday Books through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
It's a cute pink cover, isn't? This story is not cute or pink. It's a brutal story of misogyny and control.
Tierney is a dreamer who is not allowed to dream. Her existence is destined to be an evil siren who lures men to their Doom.
Fighting back is not an option. Until it is.
It's a story about survival and how your worst enemies can be the ones who should be on your side and your allies can be who you least expect.
..
Absolutely brilliant.

The Kiss
Sleeping Beauty- Filled with jealousy, the evil witch Maleficent (Eleanor Audley) curses Princess Aurora (Mary Costa) to die on her 16th birthday. Thanks to Aurora's guardian fairies (Verna Felton, Barbara Jo Allen, Barbara Luddy), she only falls into a deep sleep that can be ended with a kiss from her betrothed, Prince Phillip (Bill Shirley). To prevent Phillip from rescuing Aurora, Maleficent kidnaps and imprisons him. The good fairies are the last hope to free Phillip so that he can awaken Aurora.
So i did watch Maleficent and its sequel and i liked them, their were different, a different take on the oringal movie.
Sleeping Beauty is a classic.

An average entry into the conjuring universe
So yet another entry into the conjuring universe and probably the poorest one so far.A rushed introduction into how the evil spirit La Llorona became could have done with a bit more background story.
Then we follow a family who gradually come into contact with this spirit and how they enlist the help of an ex priest to help them fight it.They could have done with not showing LL so much as she gradually becomes less frightening after each attack on the family.
Worth checking out if your a fan of the conjuring universe.

Awix (3310 KP) rated The Brides of Fu Manchu (1966) in Movies
Aug 10, 2019
For a given value of 'good', anyway: we enjoyed this immensely although probably not as the makers intended. Absurd pulp adventure as Fu Manchu, the most evil racial stereotype in the world, tries to conquer it by blowing up St Paul's Cathedral with his wireless death ray. The actual brides are fairly incidental to the plot.
Good production values, preposterous script, performances which are difficult to describe. It may be a bit racist but really, really doesn't warrant being taken that seriously. If Fu Manchu had a better HR department he could probably have got away with it, too. Hugely entertaining if you're in the right mood.
