Talk to me 8.5/10

Actually a good horror movie coolwith new faces we haven't seen before, teenagers intentionally screwing with the supernatural undecided oyinbo kids stupid sha, the bad decisions started at the very beginning of the movie, you knew the object killed someone before you still kept it and use it to play
That’s the beauty of horror movies. You don’t need star power to sell it. Just make it horror and you are good to go.

It's an Australian movie, faces will definitely be unfamiliar

Talk To Me...... 7.5/10

It's a really good horror flick with a good spin and story to tell. It's a bit kinda different from the usual tropes we're used to in the genre.

It has its failings in some areas with the lead being a painfully annoying @sshole with tons and tons of stupid decisions back to back. She was pretty annoying most of the time that it took the scare away from the horror film. Doesn't even help matters with the rest of the cast also being stupid at the same time as well.
Some yawning plotholes here and there with some unexplained plotlines.

Satisfying ending tho and overall a good flick. Has a nice use of gore to project its scary aspects with the suicidal boy.

Horror movies don't even need familiar faces or stars to sell it.

I'm struggling to remember a time we had a through and through horror flick with bonafide big stars asides The Conjuring and A Quiet Place universe, and maybe Nope.

I agree. No need for star power nor amazing CGI. Just provide a good story and scary sh!ts, and pockets will be filled with good coins.

I think IT Chapter 2 also had stars

The right Horror film creates Stars actually sef.

Daniel Kaluuya was revealed to us from Get Out. Mia Goth got her big break from X and Pearl franchise. Jenna Ortega from Scream franchise and Wednesday. Stranger Things have spawned a few number of stars itself with Milly Bobbie Brown and Sadie Sink. There's also that girl from Barbarian gaining limelight. Bill Skarsgard from IT & IT 2. Lest I forget, Johnathan Majors was a revelation in HBO's Lovecraft Country.

So, I find it kinda strange when some peeps and critics relegate the genre.

True, IT Chapter 2 had big stars in it.

Only a bitter person would ask for proof of someone else's personal life.
yikes, imagine this? Going to the cinema is now someone's personal life? Choi. πŸ€£πŸ˜…
It is a sad joke thinking that someone has to prove something to you. Focus on enjoying your life..
the sad thing here is, if that demented someone can not even show proof that he is capable of buying himself a movie ticket, talkless of buying himself a brain.
My offer still stands, we have free cinema tickets monthly if you need
you can shove your offer back into the vagina that shat you into this world, I want no part of it, bitch. πŸ–•

I read the synopsis and I must say, the movie has the classic JeromeBlack/naijamemes attitude written allover it, which is, stupid people doing stupid things that ends up messing them and everyone else up.

Like who in their right mind would want to summon evil spirit for the fun if it, except of course, you know the answer. πŸ˜…πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

I agree with you that horror is an underrated genre.

However, you are wrong on two counts.

Jenna Ortega was already a disney star before "Scream". She also appeared in the hit series "You" before Scream in 2022.

With Daniel Kaluuya, you are technically right......although he was popular long ago with us British fans in British media

These white folks keep trying to tell us that it’s compulsory for all teenagers to be stupid. It’s becoming annoying, boring and irritating to watch.

Well, I usually forget she was on some Disney productions for a while. I didn't really know her until last year.

"Beau is afraid". Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal of the titular Beau was brilliant. I also love the surrealism and horror all mixed in one. The movie is an eight out of ten for me.

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by nahr(f): 2:00pm On Sep 14, 2023
"The new boy". It's a drama set in the 1940's during the second world war. Cate Blanchett was phenomenal and the boy who starred as the aboriginal boy was very captivating. The cinematography is topnotch too. I'd score it 7/10.

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by abduleez1(m): 2:08pm On Sep 14, 2023
BARBIE..... 7.5/10

A wildly enjoyable film.
It's a satirical movie about feminism, masculinity and the toxic side of both extremes while delivering comic relief in the background.

People saying the film is misandrist/men-hating clearly didn't understand the film. Of course, there are some parts close to the end where it felt like the film hated men and talked down at Patriarchy. It just spells out how a Patriarchal world feels like to an average woman, from the POV of a woman who feels repressed by the system. Bitter truth, but it's what it is.

It's an ingenious storytelling piece where real world scenarios was juxtaposed against what obtains in Matriarchal Barbieland.
I feel the movie just points out the flaws of both divides and amplify its talking points.

Great performance from Ryan Gosling as Ken. He was the soul of the movie. Hardly a movie where Margot Robbie disappoints me. πŸ€—
Great score, good music and most definitely a premium befitting song to end it with "What I Was Made For" by Billie Eillish; with Barbie questioning her purpose in life. That song is surely earning a Best Original Song shout at the Oscars.

It's not a movie you take overly serious despite it taking on serious subjects. It just tackles the ills of societal hierarchy...... in a fun and colourful way.
Of course, it's a social commentary!!

You are the first person on this thread that has anything good to say about this movie. The majorly negative reviews is the reason I haven't downloaded it.
