[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 1021361, member: 50079"] Watched a tonne of movies over lockdown on Netflix, a lot of them horrorish movies which is always a crapshoot... The bad: The Invitation: Not as clever as it thinks it is. Basic premise is a guy goes to a dinner party with his old friend group and ex wife who he split with after the trauma of losing their child and weird stuff abounds as the wife has joined a strange cult. Red Herrings left and right and a pretty meh ending. Every single character kinda sucks. I know someone who had to study it in college. It's really not that deep G Fractured: An irritable asshole tries to find his wife and kid in a hospital after an accident Ft predictable twist. The ending will underwhelm you and you will have wasted like 90 minutes of your already miserable life. Like Shutter Island for idiots. Give it a miss Slaughterhouse Rulez: More of a comedy that has no right to be as bad as it is with such a good cast. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Finn Cole (Peak Blinders fella), Otis from Sex Education, Margot Robbie, Tom Rhys Harries, Michael Sheen and it's just all a bit bland. The Visit: Kinda on the funny bad side of things, but its parody levels of dumb. Featuring a little white kid who raps badly and a girl who climbs fully into an oven to clean it. The Good: Look Away: Fairly cliched plot involving a girl having a mirror version of herself who has bad intentions, but actually decent I thought. You can pretty much tell how its gonna end after ten minutes, but I enjoyed it. Spree: Steve from Stranger Things stars as a greasy, weird 'Spree' (Uber) driver who bascially is streaming a murder spree to a Twitch.tv equivalent but becomes increasingly enraged as the movie goes along as he realises no one cares. Joe Keery is really good in it and the whole movie is through the lense of his live stream. They introduce a really unlikeable protagonist with a half assed social commentary late on, but it's a pretty entertaining movie. Cam: Interesting enough, unpredictable and kinda fun movie about a woman who is basically a sex streamer who starts to have her identity stolen seemingly. I'm a big fan of these weird technology movies, but it does tail off on a slightly uninteresting note. Searching; Not on Netflix, but this is a really great movie. Also done in the 'Unfriended' style of being from the POV of a webcam, but well executed with a mystery you can probably figure out really early on if you pay a lot of attention.
