Honest review of films and games
Honest review of films and games
Read Time: 3 minutesI had the pleasure of watching both Backrooms and Obsession in one night, thanks to my wife. Both had something to prove and prove they did. Obsession was a more straightforward kind of horror compared to Backrooms. Obsession left a deeper impact for me, I could hear her screams while driving last night. Both are highly recommended and to be appreciated on the big screen.
Read Time: 3 minutesBackrooms will definitely be on my top 5 of horror films released this year. Its not your typical jump scare horror, it creeps up on you, touches your shoulder, whispers in your ear, feel its cold breathe, yet when you look, nothing's there. This is not for you if you're looking for Conjuring-Insidious kind of horror. Highly recommended. Midsommar is another one from A24 that I recommend.
Read Time: 2 minutesPeople need to watch this, specially those who are obsessed with winning that they give up their social life for it. 100 Meters reminds us that the efforts, struggles, losses, be it in sports, life, or business, is the euphoria that we crave. The reason why we always keep pushing. As long as you know why your doing what your doing, its enough to keep you going.
Read Time: 2 minutesTaiwanese horror is still on the rise, The Sadness (2021) and Incantation (2022) proves this. Even in modern times, they didn't compromise on the vanilla-treated horror studios make nowadays. Mudborn will get you back on track with how horror is supposed to feel like.
Read Time: 2 minutesIt is a cultish-atmospheric and artfully shot film that pulls you in, but will leave you to dry in the end. I love every minute of it, every act that pass, the story gets weirder and my anxiety shoots through the roof. The ending however, I'm feeling torn about it. I wanted more, yet at the same time, it feels like a French-kiss ending.
Read Time: 2 minutesIf you're looking for a good scare, a good storyline, and a plot that makes you think. Call of the Dead packs everything in. You won't have to worry about those out of nowhere cheesy comedic remarks because this movies serves horror, and horror alone. This ties in my rating with another Indonesian horror titled May The Devil Take You.
Read Time: 2 minutesIt was a good watch, creepy with some proper gore and a couple of jump scares. I'd recommend this to anyone who's looking for a good scare. Story was good, though not unique, it was still properly told. The Medium (2021) is one I'd recommend for Thai horror.
Read Time: 2 minutesLike I said, this is by far the worse fate someone could get, aside from dying—and if you've seen this, you might consider getting offed instead of having this life. Highly recommended, though I myself couldn't stomach to watch it again. The story and pacing was nice. Effects is awesome and really delivered a punch to its viewers. A great cult classic title.
Read Time: 2 minutesIf you're into high anxiety induced horror films, and have no problem with trigger warnings dealing with minors, this is the perfect one for you. Pair it up with a glass of wine and crank up the volume on that song "Eternal Flame" by The Bangles (You'll know why when you've seen it.)
Read Time: 2 minutesIf you stopped watching the Terrifier franchise because you thought that the first was just senseless k*llings and that the following installment would be the same, think again! Terrifier 3 dives so much deeper into the lore of Art the Clown. The effects are awesome and yes, Terrifier 3 lights up multiple trigger warnings, so be warned.
Read Time: 2 minutesIt was a great Final Destination-esque movie. Though the horror aspect of it didn't really reached that point for me, but the effects and how their character dies was tastefully made. Really well done, I've seen my fair share of gore scenes, but this still made me squint.
Read Time: 3 minutesAmerican Psycho will forever be on top of crime thrillers list of anyone who is a fan of the genre. A satire film about people being obsessed with materialistic things and detached from one's reality, only to fuel their social status in life. 20, 50, 100 years from now, the Yuppie culture will still be relative and Bateman will be dancing in the shadows whilst holding an axe.
Read Time: 2 minutesIts a mediocre thriller movie, very basic and nothing that would make me do a second watch. Everything was left on the screen, there isn't anything that would make you think otherwise—which I think is something that's lacking in modern movies. I'd honestly watch Cocaine Bear (2023) five times continuously than rewatch this again.
Read Time: 2 minutesIt was a good watch and definitely recommending it if you're into old (erotic) films. It makes you realize how far acting, effects, and storytelling have come. Les Démoniaques is about sexual violence, pleasure, greed, loss, death and revenge, yet it tells the story of how everything comes around.
Read Time: 3 minutesFinal Draft will never surpass Physical 100 in terms of production and viewership. Having said that, Final Draft is still an enjoyable, adrenaline induced reality TV show with a proper line up of athletes that would keep you guessing who would survive the challenge.
Read Time: 4 minutesIf you're looking for a very intricate build but felt that the MG (Master Grade) or PG (Perfect Grade) lines are to daunting of a build to tackle, the MGSD Wing Gundam EW is the best one I'd recommend. The stickers included are also standard issue stick-on stickers, not the WSD (water slide decal) kind. No paint or customization needed, build straight out of the box and you're good to go.
Read Time: 3 minutesThe American is not your usual crime action flick with guns blazing, front-door-kicking in your face firefight, rather it is a proper storytelling of a man's struggle. It's sort of a counterpart of The House That Jack Built under the horror genre. The music paired with each scene was perfect and it was definitely an experience. Highly recommended.
Read Time: 3 minutesLike I said from the beginning, THE BEST Dracula iteration by far. Gary Oldman carried this classic with his accurate depiction of the said character. All other film elements came together and formed this perfect dark being named Bram Stoker's Dracula. For a more recent/modern release, Nosferatu featuring Bill Skarsgard is also a great choice.
Read Time: 3 minutesTogether (2025) is an awesome body horror film following The Ugly Stepsister (2025). It turns the most precious thing, Love, into the most horrifying thing you could ever think of. Definitely on my top 5 body horror for 2025. Highly recommended.
Read Time: 2 minutesDon't have anything to watch tonight? Delirium is a good pick, honestly a good psychological horror thriller. It felt like a lovechild test version of The Shining and Shutter Island, but it never came close to any of those two.
