It Lives Inside (2023)
Nothing new here, mediocre
This movie had a lot of potential but swiftly goes downhill with all the cheap jump scares with loud sounds. Even all the sounds scare elements are ripped off from classic Japanese horror movies like the Ring and the Grudge. Nothing original and a very bland story. There's a lot of unnecessary focus on Indian culture which is not at all relevant to the horror elements of the movie. Constant Indian spiritual chanting to deter the evil spirit no matter how powerful it is otherwise, so non-sensical. All of this coupled with bad acting from the protagonists made this massive yawn fest. Avoid this one.
Snag: Chapter One (2023)
Bland and boring
This movie tries to borrow cool elements from different action movies but has no idea how to execute. Nothing is believable or intriguing. Every single character is bland and unrelatable. The star of the show is clearly the female antagonist Ana Ortiz; seemingly the only person in the movie who knows how to act. There is nothing in this movie that works. The transitions between THEN and NOW are not fluid, rarely make sense, and after it happens a couple of times interest is lost the coherence of the movie is in shambles. I hope they don't waste any time making another one. You can tell Ben Milliken is a fan of Quentin Tarantino, he copies his style but doesn't know how to deliver.
