Forgotten - 2017 horror/thriller

Another Korean film but this time it was completely unintentional. I had this film on hold for a little while and while looking through my stuff, I chose this on off the strength of its name alone. Turns out I made the right choice. This is the type of film I believe is best left alone in terms of trying to describe its plot or characters. I won't get into that because I feel anyone reading this should just flat out watch this film. 8/10

@boogiewoogiewam

watch this one so i can talk about it with u

Yeah. Netflix picked it up. They know good shit when they see it. 

also i remember u once told me the reason why korean films look better visually and cinematography wise than most american films. why was it again? cuz it's so noticeable to me 

The reason I held out from saying anything about this film is because I remembered the premise before going in and if you know that much, it will dampen the film for you. I was able to see where the story was headed immediately as well as even pointing out stuff that would happen scene by scene. Now that may because because I watch too much shit but I think it's also because this film telegraphs itself and is pretty by the books.

tsk

got boogie to give a 9.5

fuck with your boy.

@boogiewoogiewam

i lied about being able to tell where the film was headed. lol

Killing Ground sucked but it had some pretty crazy stuff tbh. Some of the violence I did not expect

Week 3 - 03/25/2018 - 04/01/2018

dead week lol

Yeah, I lost interest after it came out that the trailers were very different from the film. I don't care for symbolism or dream sequences. I want that shit to happen. idk that's me

It sounds like 6 is a low score cuz that sounds interesting plus the movie looked good from the trailers. What about it put you off? How slow and boring it is? Not that slow is inherently bad but this film has a whole lot of nothing?

You guys are right. 6 is pretty low, but I didn't enjoy the movie as soon until afterwards when I thought about it some more and read about it online. I'll bump it up to a 7, and not higher because it didn't capture me on the first go (or even the second go).

For example, The Killing of the Sacred Beast was longer and had a slower pace, but the movie gripped me from start to finish. This movie didn't.

You son of a bitch!

Veronica - 2018 - supernatural.

This was a Boogie rec. I didn't even know about it at all tbh. I am not into possession or supernatural movies and this film is pretty much like all the others in many ways but what separates it from most is that it's well made. The soundtrack is really, really good. I'm talking download the soundtrack good so I would definitely say that is one of the strongest aspects of the film. Lot of punk and electronic shit mixed with some orchestral stuff that you don't really hear anymore in horror films. Another cool thing is the design of the monster/ghost/demon or whatever you want to call the crap that plays antagonist in these films. It just looked cool and not like a corny ghost/demon. It was just a shadow thing. Just really nice visually. Speaking of visuals, this film has some nicely edited scenes that kinda stuck with me like there is a scene where the protagonist is walking on the ground that turn into a book she was reading in a weird mix of montage and real time stuff. It was cool. Something you would see in a commercial.

So yeah, if you noticed, I've been praising how the film was made and not really the film itself. That's because I don't really really care for the film as a whole. Not that I hated it but I certainly don't like it as much as I should purely from now nicely made it is. It just didn't capture me but that is probably due to my almost complete lack of care for the subgenre. I'd give it a 7/10
