No One Can Hear You Scream Underwater

-


Happy New Year everyone. It's an all new year of movies and this may not be the first movie I'm watching for the new year but I think this should be the first movie I should review for the year.



Do you guys remember a movie called Alien that was released back in the late 80s and became one of the most iconic sci-fi movies ever made? Yeah... a new movie called Underwater has been released and it has somewhat a similar concept to Alien. You'd think they would do something new to an already masterfully done imagining. They dont unfortunately. Starring Kristen Stewart and a bunch of actors you don't see in many movies except for T.J. Miller, Underwater is yet another place where no can hear you scream.



What I can give credit for is the effects for the creatures. The sea monsters look exceptionally scary for the horror part of this film but look somewhat man-made. I guess that's for the science fiction part. I could be wrong but if they make a sequel, there is a possibility that these horrifying looking sea creatures are not made from the wonders of nature but instead the stupidity of human experimentation. Not that I'm asking for a sequel but... you know. What lacked for me was that movie was annoyingly dark. As in you cannot see alot of the movie. Although it is not as dark as the The Long Night episode in Game of Thrones so, it's not that bad. You can sort of see what's happening.



I am once again saying that I am so glad that Kristen Stewart is acting in such great roles now. There was Charile' Angels and I thought she was the best angel and now she's a badass woman saving everyone. Although her acting tropes weren't fully utilised for this film, but she did a good for trying to be a badass while being massively afraid. We don't see TJ Miller a whole lot but he was funny as ever no matter the circumstance.



Theres nothing much to say about Underwater for that it was both good and bad. Unfortunately there was more good than bad. I'll be rating this 'underwater' sci-fi thriller a 5/10..

Confessions of A Bored Vampire (Abigail review)

  I know it has been a long time since I have written a review. So many movies I watched a little later because of school and work. But I am back with a review because I was much inspired to write again about this probable cult classic in the horror genre. Abigail is the new horror popcorn flick worth catching before the summer movies roll in.  The film revolves around a group of troubled misfits who are hired to kidnap a rich man's daughter to get a handsome amount of money, they are stuck in a house with a child vampire that hunts them down on by one in hopes of getting out without their blood being drained.  I will not reveal too much for it is a movie worth catching at your own time to just have a blast at the cinema. Abigail can be seen as just another cash grab for a B-grade-looking horror movie featuring an expensive cast, its quippy script and interestingly written characters, this vampire film isn't like others. Or at least it makes its own bitemark to an overdon...

A Cautionary Tale That Should Have Stayed in 2004 (Mean Girls 2024 review)

-

After 20 years, the Plastics return in an all-new reiteration of Mean Girls, a cult classic teen drama that should have stayed in the early 2000s. No, it is not a sequel or a re-quel. It is very much a remake that is supposed to appeal to a whole new set of fans, possibly. It is also a live-action take on the Broadway musical that was inspired by the original film which, you guessed it, makes this a musical. Many people were skeptical about this idea, let alone knew it was going to be a musical while fans of the musical were wondering if it would live up to it.  As someone who hasn't seen the Broadway musical, it is hard to compare because I had never seen that cast, nor have I heard of the musical numbers before this so, I am unaware of that aspect of the film but I have seen the original film that starred Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams. As someone who does, to this day, enjoy the original film, the remake does not live up to its standards but mostly for reasons that are not ent...

Percy Jackson and The Olympians (Full Season Review)

  With the acquisition of the FOX properties, Disney had the chance to adapt to the world of Percy Jackson once again. However, unlike the last time, Disney makes an adaptation that lives up to the source material as well as embraces author Rick Riordan with production, casting, and various other factors that went into this show.  With this first season following suit of the first novel, The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson and The Olympians of course, follows the titular character learning of his mythological parentage and what that means when he is thrust into this world as he grows older and more powerful as a demigod. When he is chosen to go on quest based on a prophecy, he enlists help from Annabeth Chase and his best friend/satyr, Grover to find Zeus's missing lightning bolt.  Anyone who has seen the film that was released 12 years ago would have a good idea as to what this first season will cover but people who haven't read the original book will know the many change...
