Dean (6927 KP) rated The Girl with the Dragon tattoo (2009) in Movies

Nov 27, 2018

A cracking Swedish whodunit/thriller. I have heard great things about the books so thought I would give this a go. The DVD has the option of subtitles or English Audio, I went for the audio as I was a little tired. Thankfully not one of those films where the dubbing appears totally out of sync and distracts you. It takes a little while to get going but the last hour or more is brilliant. Very brutal and violent at times to, but this is up there with the best thrillers around!! Very surprised an English version is being made just next year? Going to be near impossible to better this in any way??

The best thing you never watched

Banshee was cancelled because no one watched it. Why did no one watch it? I can't say, those that did watch it raved about it. Maybe it was ahead of its time, pre Netflix shows required well known faces, while Banshee recruited actors who were unknown but fit the character.

It was sexy, violent, dangerous and cool. Criminals who are heroes, a bank robber who replaces the ID of a cop who was murdered so becomes the towns police while at the same time trying to hide from his criminal past which wants to kill him. Brilliant stuff. Go watch it now.

It was through word of mouth that it came to my attention and I have rarely heard anyone having negatives to say about it so that seems to fit with your review. It had the right mix of everything that makes a show work. Timing has a lot to answer for in all the arts.

Family guy was cancelled before word of mouth brought it back. Maybe we can do the same here

Mirror of misfortune

Oculus- a underrated horror jem that more people should watch.

It is spooky, thrilling, chilling, horrorfying, terrorfying, twisting, suspenseful, and overall a great horror film.

The plot: Haunted by the violent demise of their parents 10 years earlier, adult siblings Kaylie (Karen Gillan) and Tim (Brenton Thwaites) are now struggling to rebuild their relationship. Kaylie suspects that their antique mirror, known as the Lasser Glass, is behind the tragedy. The seemingly harmless reflections contain a malevolent, supernatural force that infects the mind of anyone who gazes into it. As Kaylie gets closer to the truth, the siblings become caught in the mirror's evil spell.

A highly reecordmend horror film.

Great!

This movie is SO much better than I expected. The little boy from "The Shining" is all grown up. He and a young girl with psychic abilities(shine)take on a powerful cult of monsters posing as people. The acting is really good and the cinematography very good. The story unfolds beautifully with many twists and turns and ups and downs. If you enjoyed "The Shining" you'll really enjoy this one. The special effects were pretty cool. I wouldn't recommend it for younger viewers as there are some fairly graphic violent scenes. Overall though this one has lots of emotional moments and plenty of creep factor. The ending is fantastic. Really worth a watch!
