Bird Box (2018)
Overrated
The concept behind this movie is not bad, which is why I liked the start. As soon as the movie was about 45 minutes in, however, it became incredibly slow and nothing really happened. The movie itself was not scary, a little thrilling at most. The ending was not unsatisfying, but not exactly amazing either. Overall I think people who say it's a fresh look on horror movies are not wrong per se, but the movie is far from great.
Never Hike Alone (2017)
Not amused
I honestly don't see what people like so much about this movie. It wasn't scary, which usually should be the main premise of a horror movie. The build-up to the jumpscares were lousy and the acting was quite mediocre. All in all, not a great movie.
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
Confusion and tension
Let's get straight to the point: there is a line and this movie crosses it way too many times. As I expected from the start of watching this movie, there were a lot of questions left unanswered. I could deal with some of the less important details, but the story does not go anywhere in the end. A few examples of these unanswered questions are:
What is Michelle's background?
What happens next?
To what extent did Howard tell the truth?
What role does Britanny play in the story?
All in all, the movie causes a lot of confusion, but the reason I think it still deserves a decent grade is because the tension in the movie is tremendous. I loved how the viewer is kept in suspence throughout the entire movie. The character design is also terrifically done. This movie could definitely use a remake or a sequel, which is honestly not something I often say about movies.
