Braven (2018)
Hard to enjoy
It starts off strong, but then basic common sense calls it a day. Jason sets up a lot of interesting ways to kill everyone, only he often gets ensnared in his own trap - literally and figuratively. Keep saying why isn't he picking up their assault rifles after he starts picking them off? He really likes to hurt himself I suppose.
Overall it's a Pyrrhic victory. Lot's needless self-inflicted pain. I blame Jason for just about everything bad that happened to his family and himself.
Could have been a great movie, but it's too frustrating to enjoy. I can't see myself wanting to watch
Visions of Suffering (2006)
If you can watch it, watch it.
This movie is so creative. I was stimulated by the otherworldly feel of the "Visions of Suffering". Lots of vignettes, special computer effects, as well as practical makeup. Perhaps the most effective part of the film was the sound effects and the really creepy music.
There are parts where you won't be able to take your eyes away from the screen. Loving that. Honestly James Wan should watch this and learn.
This movie is pretty dark and the pacing is slow. As soon as the movie starts you get to watch the protagonist's nightmare. It's pretty intense, loving that too.
There is so much the movie accomplished without the desperate James Wan flash. If you want something genuinely interesting and different, give this one a watch.
Wicked Lake (2008)
You'll either love it or hate it. You should love it though
I got into during a night of smoking and it was funny, sexy, gory, and, campy. I like Marc Senter, he's an underrated actor. He's also interesting here like in "The Lost".
If you enjoy Troma type of stuff you may like it. For me I've watched the film almost a hundred times.
Like the movie, that's quite over the top and outlandish. It will take a certain mind and a dash of madness to see things the "Wicked Lake" way.
Takeaways:
Lost of gorgeous women, sometimes naked. There are also dirty rednecks that are shameless in their pig style appeal. There was one jacking it as soon as the ladies rolled up. Nice. There's also a lot of offbeat humor that will either offend or delight you.
