No Man's Land: The Rise of Reeker (2008)
As a person that didn't see the original Reeker movie
I can tell you now that this movie will make absolutely no sense at all. I doubt it would make sense even if you had seen the original. Is it a bad movie? No... Is it a good movie? No... It just doesn't make a shred of sense. My gathering of it is a deranged serial killer that enjoys torturing people in Death Valley Cali. is finally caught and executed. Then there is a time jump to 30 years later. As it's moving along this deranged executed serial killer has apparently moved to a different plain while still occupying the same space on this plain allowing him to be seen only when he wants. Except on his "home turf", which is his torture shack they showed in the beginning. I still never understood how the force field concept had purpose. It couldn't be penetrated. Whoever made this movie has a keen understanding of quality gore and decent special effects, but the plot has more holes than Baby Swiss... I'd guess that even the most experienced horror buffs will just become quickly lost not understanding the why or how because it's just not there...This movie could've been great if it actually had a stronger plot or a plot at all, lol. As a well versed horror buff I'm tempted to believe it's a rip off of the 1988 movie "Shocker" because that's the only one I can think of that's remotely close to this concept....
D-Railed (2018)
I will keep it very real right now.....
I've seen thousands upon thousands of horror movies so my opinion is a bit more than just a little educated about them. I'll keep this brief. First off, anybody that really thought this movie was good or even great has no true understanding of what makes a good or great horror film. The characters in this film were about as "thin" as can be. I don't think I remembered any single one of their names(if any of them had any). Out the gate you're expecting this movie to be really good(maybe something like Ghost Ship) but within the first 10 minutes(or less) you come to realize it's going to suck and quite badly. Their obvious plot is that you are watching something that happened a very long time ago(but you can't even figure that out until the very end of the movie). The first bad guy had an older looking gun, his partner(a female) had a very modern gun(the chamber was a different color than the barrel) that couldn't have been made in the 1920s. The "hero" also had a modern looking gun and a modern looking haircut(nothing resembling any style earlier than the 1980s or 1990s at best). The way the movie shifted from point A to B was haphazard. There were attempts at suspense but they seemed pointless because it was people that refused to remain as a group and for much of the time didn't even act scared. Lance Henrikson was only in the last 2 minutes of the movie and was the star(to give you an idea of how preposterous it all was. He actually refused to take any credit for being in the movie and you wont find it on his Wiki list of films he takes credit for(he thought it was abysmal and flat out refused association) This movie is on a piss poor level as something like "Children of the Walking Dead" in that movie Tom Savini was entirely insulted to have had association with but was forced to unfortunately. These types of movies are referred to as "z rated" because they are miles away from a b rated bad film(which would be endlessly much better all around).
