Hello All,
By complete accident we have a bit of a theme today. Two recent horror, or at least horror related movies. One’s an indie film made on a low budget, the other one a major blockbuster. So which one is the better one in this case? Let’s find out together shall we?
It Comes at Night Review
Plot Summary - When a secluded family waiting out an apocalyptic plague find an intruder in their house, they decide to let him and his family move in as well. Tensions begin to rise however as strange happenings cause them all to suspect the rest of being infected.
Pros - The cast is great, and the minimalist creepy atmosphere is really effective with the story. There’s this great sense of tension throughout the film as well.
Cons - The plot leaves things very vague, and it’s a very slow moving film as well, so if you’re not a fan then this is not for you.
Final Score - 6/10
It’s definitely a slow, vague film, so if that’s not for you stay far away. Otherwise, you’re bound to get some creepy vibes off of it.
The Mummy Review
Plot Summary - When an ancient egyptian princess is uncovered by Military Officer Nick Morton (Tom Cruise), an ancient evil begins to stir and Nick must team up with some unusual allies in order to save the day.
Pros - There are some cool scenes and ideas on display here.
Cons - The rest of the film is a boring chore. It’s a 75 minute plot stretched out to over a hundred minutes. There’s so much padding, nothing is surprising, and it’s not that the people involved are awful, it’s just they have nothing to really do.
Final Score - 1/10
Skip it. It’s honestly boring, and I hope that the Dark Universe they’re aiming at doing picks up from here, because it can’t get worse right?
Next: Rough Night - I’ll also try and get to Meghan Leavey at some point.
