Nobody plays the scary weirdo like Aubrey Plaza. This movie was disturbing on many levels.

Pretty standard man vs nature story. I know it’s based on a true story but the last 15 minutes or so were way to schmaltzy for me.

A surprisingly candid Spielberg opens up about his early years but the film gets a little spotty covering the later years. It’s hard not be impressed by what he has created over the last 40+ years.

What a great twist on the home invasion genre. I was taken aback at how tense this movie was. I really got into it. A real treat for horror fans.

The most realistic portrayal of teenage boys since probably River’s Edge. A very strong feature debut from director Kevin Phillips.

The ultimate movie endurance test. It really tried my patience but I made it to the end. I have no idea what happened.

Some of the most unlikeable characters I’ve ever seen in a movie.

Really well made and acted revenge thriller. The on-screen body count was something I haven’t seen before.

I liked it a lot but it falls into the typical Stephen King formula – good first half, terrible last 10 minutes.

Fantastic practical effects, so-so story. It was hard to figure out the lead’s power set exactly, every few minutes she had some new disgusting way to kill people.

I different take on a typical hostage movie, The filmmakers sure loved their levitating gimmick.
