That was my main issue with it, although having watched the first 2 again before seeing the 3rd there were a few references to things picked up on in the3rd film (like the videotapes and stuff). Still, the impression in the first films is that something did happen in their childhood but not on the scale you see in the 3rd film. And the house still didn't burn down! (other than in the trailer) There's a 4th one on the way so I guess there'll either be more answers or more questions. Rumours that the whole film is another prequel and takes place in the form of found-footage ultrasound scans of the 2 sisters is currently unfounded. |

The Artist 5/5 Loved the movie and very much worth the awards and praise it has been getting, a beautiful piece of work with fantastic performances. Catch it while you still can. The Woman in Black 3/5 I really wanted to love this but at the end was disappointed. It had it's moments but I think suffered due to the 12A rating and some weak effects. I liked Daniel Radcliffe in it, but I think the rating was lowered so the Potter audience could get in to see it.

went to see chronicle. Actually better than I expected, plenty of cliche as anyone will guess the character arcs in the film but certainly a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be. Wisely never explains the cause of the teens power, its just some glowing thing they find in the ground that gives them telekenetic powers and the final 3rd act telekentic rampage is highly entertaining. Not sure if it needed to be a found footage movie though. And in defence of dagon, sure lovecraft would have hated it, he would have hated the stuff made by the lovecraft historical society as well. Lovecraft despised the medium of film and in all fairness the style of his storytelling, relying on implication and suggestion are not at all suited to the medium. That said Dagon takes the material and creates a very entertaing slice of horror cinema. Could I have lived without the gore? certainly but then that was always more a commercial consideration. Its also worth noting dennis paoli, stuart gordons long time collaborator on his lovecraft projects did his masters thesis on lovecrafts fiction! |
