I watched V/H/S/94. It is sequel. Part of the VHS series. All found footage. Indie amateur film. They are an anthology. Different film makers come together to produce a horror short. Some reason I felt that I had watched it before. It was released in 2021. Impressed with the special visual effects, acting, set design. All original stories. I recommend that you also see the previous films, also The ABCs Of Death, The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, Cloverfield. The found footage style hasn't been used in years. The main story involves a swat team going to a cult's hideout. Other stories involve a news report, an advert, these American survivalists, a mad scientist. Mixed reviews on Shudder.
I watched Rec 4: Apocalypse. A Spanish horror film. I recommend the other Rec and Quarantine films. You will have seen Resident Evil, World War Z, 28 Days Later. It was released in 2014. I wasn't sure if had seen it then. So rented it in 2022. A few people that were in the infected zones are now on board a large ship. Angela is the TV news reporter. You have some Swat/soldiers, the crew, the grandmother from a wedding and scientists. There is this great rock song that plays. Angela looks great. Very gory and violent. The virus was described as being demonic. An outbreak happens and the cast must do what they can to survive.
I finally took a dive and watched Malignant. The trailer doesn't reveal too much but as the film went on I was guessing the back story of the characters. Maddie is a woman living in Seattle. You even see the origins of the villain Gabriel. Maddie is in an abusive relationship. Has suffered miscarriages. She is pregnant and a house invasion happens. You have her actor sister that comes to visit. She has visions of when Gabriel attacks his victims. The detective Kekoa assigned to the case is a handsome man and I thought he would have chemistry with the sister Sydney. He is with his partner Regina. In one scene he is pretty bad ass. With the twists revealed later are kind of fucked up. The forensics, evidence woman seems to be obsessed with the detective. James Wan is a great film maker. You will have seen the Saw and Insidious films. Impressive effects. Good cast of actors. You might like the soundtrack. I like the opening theme music which is When your walls fall by Celldweller.
There are trivia on imdb to look at. With the discussions most likely focus on certain characters. What would happen after the end of the film? On YouTube as the trailer was clicked on, further below in the recommendations were videos about the ending. Stupid even to have it there. Annabelle Wallis stars. I have only seen a few things that she was in. From a scene in the film which shows the underground town beneath modern Seattle I am interested to find out more. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt3811906/fullcredits/cast?ref_=m_ttfc_3
Countdown is a horror movie. I watched it on Netflix. It has been out for a few years. There is an app available for download on the app store. It is called Countdown. There user must obey the terms and conditions. It predicts when a person will die. Starts off with a group of friends at a party using the app. Our protagonist is a new nurse called Quinn. She downloaded it out of curiosity as some of these characters do. I also find that when there seems to be a threat you don't go towards it. Anyway she is given 3 days and she wants to prevent the inevitable. Impressive visual effects. I am reminded of Final Destination, The Ring, Happy Death Day, Truth Or Dare, Nerve, Candyman, Hellbound. It is a good film. I like the soundtrack. Elizabeth Lail is hot. You will recognise Matt Lescher. Surprised to see Tom Segura.
