Shocker
9/10
Wes Craven admits this movie has many similarities to A Nightmare on Elm Street, and possibly people viewed as a ripoff of a nightmare on elm street for why it's a critical failure for being too derivative of a Nightmare on Elm street plus being a minor commercial success at the box office.
He wanted to make a horror movie series that he had creative control of, and this is a underrated horror movie that I wish did become a horror movie series.
This is a fast pace supernatural horror slasher action movie with no filter scenes, a terrific exciting movie start to finish.
Horace Pinker the Villain is a brutal remorseless murderer, and a magnificent bastard villain the same as Clarence Boddicker or Freddy Krueger. It's plausible why the main hero Jonathan has a connection to the murderer because he did see him murder his mother.
Never shown or stated how Horace becomes supernatural with the power to possess bodies, and travel in stuff that has electricity so likely a deal with the Devil selling his soul before his execution with the eletric chair.
Jonathan a college football player is a likable hero smart and valiant since he thought of how to defeat Horace with no person possessed is killed, other likable characters his friends that most are football players, his girlfriend Allison, his Football coach, his dad a plainclothes cop decent and memorable lines, brutal violence including implied with the large amount amount of Blood that it was a brutal death for Allison.
Likely the same stuff for blood as a nightmare on elm street was used in this movie because blood looks utterly real or topnotch, a exciting terrific climax possibly 1 of kind which mostly is Jonathan and Horace traveling through different tv channels plus fighting, a anchor talking about this current event then suddenly they appear and they move to a new channel, he's astounded by this event but still says I think holy crap did you get that.
Possibly 1 of the greatest lines ever after something unexpected and dangerous.
In the style of the movie Robocop something serious and funny at the same time.
Terrific music that fits the scenes, terrific special effects for the ghost which is Allison Jonathan's girlfriend that as a ghost as a guardian and mentor, great scene before the climax of a dream of likely all of victims murdered by Horace plus Allison telling him don't let him catch you sleeping like the others.
It's obvious Wes Craven wanted sequels because Horace still alive is stuck in a tv plus talking to Jonathan before he turns the tv off.
47 Meters Down
9/10
2 complaints to much shown in the trailer, movie trailers generally need to stop showing so much, and it's under 100 minutes.
I wanted it to be over 100 minutes so the great white sharks shown more, plus maybe they decide to stop waiting move the cage or break it so they can eat the humans.
A literal movie title the same as The Fugitive which is why it's a perfect title because characters are literally 47 Meters Down in a ocean.
Terrific looking great white sharks, I don't recall other Feature movies with great white sharks that are hunting together, terrific locations including the beach and ocean so likely on location not in a warehouse.
Great kills by the great white sharks a movie that lives up to being Rates R.
A plausible reason why the worst case scenario happens, decent acting, believable likable characters including 1 of the sisters decides to change her mind to dive inside a cage after seeing great white sharks are in the water, the twist in the climax of it's a hallucination isn't a surprise because of a line by the boat captain add in shown in the previews of a shark attacking.
A great exciting climax because 1 sister is trapped with her leg under the cage, plus running out of oxygen which is why the coast guard has to rescue them.
Astounding that this was going to be a straight to dvd movie but did get changed.
It is a great horror survival sharks attack movie.
Zombeavers
6/10
My only complaint is this is without the extra scene that foreshadows a sequel plus credits it's 71 minutes long. I wanted it to be above 100 minutes so I could see more Zombeavers killed, plus possible other funny lines or 1 liners.
A decent horror comedy zombies movie which is set in the Woods
. Funny lines and situations some expected for lines but still funny, the Zombeavers are ruthless, a worst case scenario because the characters can't be safe in Cabins since the animals attacking are beavers , flawed believable likable characters and a character that become unlikable, the humans altered to zombies with beaver traits including teeth is hilarious, and a exciting climax which isn't forseeable for the outcome, and decent kills.
Also no cellphone service in these woods so a plausible reason why 911 isn't called.
Decent transformation when humans transform into zombies. Great scene with night and shown outside are Zombeavers because they have glowing eyes, and since they were infected a biohazard it's plausible.
The Zombeavers look the exact same as the cover so terrific no lameass false advertising which movies with what is on the cover can do including My Pet Monster is infamous for.
Either they didn't have a large budget so they don't have terrific animatronic beavers, or the beavers are intentionally terrible looking so this would be a intentional ridiculous terrible movie.
A monster animal The Giant Claw has a awful monster which is 1 reason it's a so bad it's good movie so maybe that was their goal but with zombeavers.
A show don't tell origin for how the beavers are altered into Zombeavers or zombies. A biohazard container of falls out from the back of the car which falls into a lake plus spilling the biohazard stuff.
