It's as dumb and awful as you expect it to be. It pretty much feels like 3 movies with completely different tones. Mostly it's a CGI bore-fest with unintentional humor. Forget about performances... What's sad is that there's a little girl in the movie and, while she has a few scenes, she outacted almost every adult. Overall, a silly yet forgettable disaster movie that wishes it was 2012 or Armageddon.
4/10

1922

Might be one of the best and greatest Stephen King novel adaptations thus far, which is crazy to say considering the It remake just came out. The director Zak Hilditch did a phenomenal job on directing and writing this. It's also by far the best performance Thomas Jane has given since The Mist. His role kinda reminds me of Lance Henriksen in Pumpkinhead. There's some great camera work here and the music and narration works extremely well. Overall, this is by far one of the best Netflix movies this year.
9.5/10

The Thing (1982)

Still holds up. And now that I finally have the blu-ray copy of it I noticed a lot of little details that I didn't catch before. Like for instance, I didn't even know Copper had a nose ring.

John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)

I liked this better than the original and am glad to see there will be another sequel.

Murder On The Orient Express (1974) - 7.5 / 10 - Pretty good. Some awesome directing choices, great cast, and superb music. Hopefully the Branagh adaptation is just as good. That mustache is already legendary.

The Vault - 1/10

I thought The Assignment was going to be my worst of the year, but this movie makes it look like a damn Oscar winner by comparison.

The one plus I can add, Scott Haze, due to the fact he's the only person that's attempting to give some sort of performance.

Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966)

The third film in the Terence Fisher Dracula trilogy and Christopher Lee's second appearance in the role is better than it has a right to be considering the title character has no dialogue. It's largely carried by the supporting cast particularly Andrew Keir who plays Father Sandor and scream queen Barbara Shelley who is in quite a few entertaining horror movies from this era. There's an effective use of mystery and suspense that builds to a sense of dread until the Kent family are confronted by their enigmatic undead host. One of the best scenes in any Dracula movie ever is one of the character's blood being drained over Dracula's remains, his body gradually reforms, then mist fills the space and his hand reaches up making for a really cool visual. The ending is quite good and I definitely rank this as one of the better Hammer Dracula sequels.

Dracula Has Risen from the Grave (1968)

Picking up a year after the events of the previous movie a priest accidentally resurrects Dracula and becomes his unwilling servant. The supporting cast isn't as strong as in the previous sequel but there are still some decent performances plus the story is interesting and well paced. I thought making the protagonist an atheist was kind of clever and I'm not sure if it had been done in something like this before. Another exciting ending in this film series with lots of gory imagery.

Eyes Without a Face (1960)

I've been meaning to see this for awhile and was glad to watch it late night on TCM Imports. It's actually incredibly well made for the horror genre of that era. The mask the main character wears to hide her disfigurement is absolutely haunting and you can see its influence on the look of Michael Myers in Halloween. When she removes her mask to reveal her grotesque facial features it's definitely shocking. There's also a scene where they actually show a doctor surgically removing a woman's face. Not only is it one of the earlier depictions of gore on film but it's possibly the most graphic and disturbing use of special effects makeup at the time. It genuinely made me cringe seeing how realistic it was. I highly recommend this one!

Usual alien creature attacking astronauts. Ryan Reynolds isn't in the movie that much.

Mother!
Not terrible, but so anvilicious that the movie's critiques are over-the-top. It's like a two hour sermon.

The Curse of the Werewolf (1961)

Arguably the best werewolf movie of the '60s and I'm curious as to why Hammer Films never made another werewolf movie. It's not as scary as some of the other Terence Fisher horror movies but it's still an interesting and tragic story. Oliver Reed gives a great performance and may be the most endearing movie monster from this era. The transformation scene is well done, the werewolf design is more menacing than its Universal predecessor and the ending is pretty exciting.
