An average movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this movie but, somehow, I still ended up watching this flick. Well, I have to admit that I have never been a huge fan of Stephen King but it has been a while since I have seen such a pathetic adaptation of one of his books.  First of all, I thought it was pretty obvious that it was based on a short-story and the makers somehow really struggled to expand... read more

Soon the couple is fleeing the youthful fanatics, who want to sacrifice them to their demonic deity.

"24.2. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Maissilapset. Suusta suuhun -legenda ala-asteelta ja ensimmäisiä, ellei jopa ensimmäinen DVD-hankintani 20 vuotta sitten. Arrow:n BD on taas vähän eri juttu, kuin 14" Salora + Future Filmin DVD. Premissihän on häiritsevä. Sitä ei varsinaisesti tunnelmoinnissa ohikiitäviä hetkiä lukuunottamatta hyÜdynnetä, mitä nyt komeassa lavastuksessa. Joku voisi vetää ajatusviivoja ties mihin allegorioihin vaikka vallankumouksesta tai uskonnollisista lahkoista "

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (121 movies items)

"Pro: It’s not all that bad of a film. Really. The atmosphere and music John Franklin and Courtney Gains, as Issac and Malachi Linda Hamilton and Peter Horton, as Bert and Linda It’s a great guilty pleasure movie. Con: The effects, especially with He Who Walks Behind the Rows, instead he is more like a demonic version of the gopher from Caddyshack."

"A fairly average movie, that is decidedly more scarier than when I first saw it. Having seen only a few Stephen King adaptations, I had very little to compare it to. But now it’s not that bad of a movie, actually."

Horrorfest 2019 (27 movies items)

" Had a good discussion with my girlfriend trying to decide a movie that would fit this prompt- any dog horror films? Burly men seem plentiful but hardly a set piece. Some bug films might have worked but I didn’t want a mid-2000s B movie and I didn’t think The Fly actually had any molting, just oozing. But then “corn husk” popped into my head and I knew the perfect film. Children of the Corn is kind of goofy and I had low expectations going in, so I put it on while doing chores. But "
