Bad movies
Requiem (2006) 3/10
Terminally boring. Its the Exorcism of Emily Rose with all the interesting parts excised and what is left is a slow, meandering and utterly boring film experience. Notwithstanding the critical acclaim that this film has been receiving and even taking into account the strong lead performance, this is a terrible film. Nothing of significance happens until maybe the last 20 min, and even then, it is only mildly interesting. The film tries so hard to be ‘realistic’ that it succeeds spectacularly and bores you with the utter mundaneness of real life.
Cypher (2002) 4/10
Cheapo direct to video flick that tries to hide its lack of budget by using flash forwards and inducing head- splitting migraines to its main character. It actually looks quite good with some impressive visuals created by smart use of lighting. It also starts of very promisingly. However the film blatantly rips off from better sci-fi flicks and it confuses with a muddled, convoluted plot.
