eXistenZ (1999)

cheap, multi-layer movie with bad acting

[6/10 · 6 June 1999]

I'm really sorry for the the filmfans who loves these genre. I think it was a very cheap movie. The crew put a lot of effort (and money) on the mutated animals and less on the acting and scenery. I really think the Landrover drove in front of a blue-screen...

The end-shot or cliffhanger was to laugh at, you could see the sequel coming from miles ahead.

but... A pretty-(and-sexy-)face is always nice to cover the rotten spots.

I hoped it would be better than this, but I can't...

Letters from a Killer (1998)

The worst movie I have ever seen, without doubt.

[1/10 · 11 April 1999]

The worst movie I have ever seen. The sound quality was bad, the cutting of the scenes was even worse and above all it was not logic and it had no speed...

I first tought: "Oh No, I don't want the trail that proves that poor Patrick was an innocent killer". But this turned out to be even worse. Typically in this American film you get a super-hint or no hints at all. I want very tiny small hints that direct you to the killer. The audience isn't involved. And now, when I don't get any hints at all, you can expect a several 's/he-is-the-killer' sweeps in the end. And that is not all. ah... This is hopeless, lets make an end to it...

In one word: Disgusting..
