The House on Pine Street (2015)
Anti-woman garbage
Boring, slow, poor acting, humorless, dull...and these are the least of this movies problems. This poor woman is tormented, tortured, beaten up, thrown down a flight of stairs, treated like a child by her husband and her creepy mother, disbelieved by everyone despite the fact that several people (the postman, the little boy, the friend) all witness entities in the house. Everyone tells her she's nuts, no matter what happens. She has zero agency. She didn't want to be there in the first place, and she had no say on the house or any of the plans that her jerk of a husband informs her of. Why the heck would anyone in this situation stay? Then hubby is literally thrown out of a window while she's NOT EVEN THERE...and the movie tells us everything has all been her fault because of her bad "energies". Guess she wasn't a dutiful enough little breeder, how dare she have the nerve to want a say in her own life? Movies like this are disturbing all right... for all the wrong reasons.
Dark Places, Deadly Illusions (2021)
What???...
What was up with the cigars? Were they supposed to be symbolic? Has Kristin Davis ever smoked one before? If so, why did it look like she was trying not to laugh the whole time? What was the memory loss about? Was the nanny drugging her? Why did she randomly faint? Why did she remember slashing the bike tires? Why did the nanny slash the bike tires? Did she just feel like walking home? What the heck were the couple fighting about?? That argument came out of nowhere, referred to things that had never been mentioned before, and completely made no sense. I thought maybe I had memory loss too, because I must have forgotten the part where they explained this. What kind of parent has no idea how old their nanny is? Isn't this information people normally ask before hiring a stranger to look after their children? What the heck is with very loudly and casually discussing your fantasies of having sex with your -probably underage- nanny with your friend- who is also your psychiatrist!- at the gym?? This is not a thing that happens. This may be the most nonsense we have ever seen crammed into one movie. One extra star for KD dancing to Concrete Blonde:)
Holly Slept Over (2020)
Gross.
First scene- "It'd be one thing if she got FAT after having the kids, maybe I wouldn't want to bang her so much.."
Nope, don't need to watch this POS.
Alone (2020)
Edge-of-the-couch kinda movie.
The suspense starts as soon as the two main characters cross paths, and keeps up until the end. You can tell the budget was very low, but they did a LOT with it. Simple story and good acting will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Away (2020)
Netflix thinks their viewers are all idiots.
I'm not an astronaut, but I'm pretty sure anyone who is would be laughing until they cry at the "science" here. Nothing makes sense, and they have no plan in place to deal with anything. The crew are hopelessly dysfunctional and every one of them seems to have serious emotional issues. Three year mission to Mars? I would think twice about sending them on a mission to pick up a package from the post office.
Murder Mystery (2019)
Silly but fun.
Feel like I know Jennifer Anniston too well to still find her believable in these types of roles...Drew Barrymore might have been a better fit as the clever-but-ditzy hairdresser. Better than I thought it would be, though!
Secret Obsession (2019)
Starting to think maybe Netflix is playing a funny prank on us.
Could it be possible that a movie this preposterously silly and nonsensical could have been created by serious film makers? I think not. Good one, Netflix!
Fatal Affair (2020)
Embarrassed for everyone involved in making this "movie".
Here's an idea: if you're going to make a movie based around human relationships, have at least some idea of how humans behave, and how to realistically portray them on film. No one in this ridiculous film behaves the way an actual person would, from the laughably stupid "best friend", to the damp rag of a husband, to the main character herself, who somehow thinks it's preferable to allow a psycho to relentlessly stalk her, her family and her "best friend", rather than simply tell the damp rag that she had a very minor, one-time flirtation with this loser, and he's crazy so now they're all in danger. No, she carries on behaving like the pointless b movie cliche she is, because the "plot" needs her to, everyone else follows suit, and the story marches on towards its inane cliche of a conclusion.
Do yourself a favor and watch the OG stalker movie "Fatal Attraction" instead. I guarantee you, even if you've seen it a dozen times already, it will be 100x more entertaining than this disaster.
The Photograph (2020)
Pretty but dull.
A stylistically beautiful film, but very slooow moving. It's like eye candy. I liked all the actors, though, and the story, although predictable from start to finish, was still enough to keep me watching.
Girl on the Third Floor (2019)
Disturbing
CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE has NO place in entertainment. Can we please agree for the sake of humanity, this is a hard line.
Grey Lady (2017)
Bad. So very bad.
The lead actors are not TERRIBLE, I'll say that. But everything else- supporting cast, story, dialogue- is godawful. The editing is the worst part- it just jumps around with no rhyme or reason, as if entire chunks have been cut out randomly. It actually kept reminding me of "The Room", lol.
And the love interest looking exactly like his dead girlfriend was just SO unnecessary and creepy.
Doctor Foster: Episode #2.5 (2017)
What the heck did I just watch?
One of the most absurd endings to a series, ever. AS IF a mother who loves her child and is NOT insane would sit there listening to his father telling him he would never see him again, and was planning on killing himself. AS IF anyone in their right mind- much less a doctor- would give their ex drugs to commit suicide. All that garbage about "not seeing this coming"?? Eye-rollingly stupid.
Pretty much every episode of season two was like a bad play written by high school drama students, and at times cringy AF. Suranne Jones is great, but I should have just watched the first season and left it at that.
The I-Land (2019)
I'd rather sit through GOT season eight again.
I only made it through three episodes, but after reading the reviews here I see I missed nothing by not sticking it out. It's a blatant rip-off of of Lost and The Beach, but terrible.
Natalie Martinez was pretty good, given the burden of the awful writing she had to work with, and I kept watching because I liked her. Her character is the only remotely relatable one...until, that is, she finds a suitcase of medicine and pain killers and hides it. Hides it. Never mind the DYING SHARK ATTACK GUY whose life could be saved by it. Really?? Every action, every line of dialogue- and I mean EVERY line- rings false. No one acts like an actual human would under these circumstances, ever. No one asks normal questions anyone would ask upon finding themselves in this situation. No one has anything remotely resembling a personality (unless you count being a rapist, or irrationally angry, or a spoiled brat etc. a personality). Not one speck of a sense of humor, either. Oh, well there is the Warden, a character so juvenile, stereotypical and laughably bad that I finally had to hit the off switch. Should have done it sooner.
