Resident Alien (2021)
DemandingFemale 26 points 3 years ago.

It’s got Alan Tudyk in it. What more do you need?

Dr Death (2021)
DemandingFemale 9 points 2 years ago*.

Extremely easy binge. Gripped me at the very start of the first episode and didn’t let go. The acting from Baldwin, Slater and Jackson was top-shelf. Lots of poetic licence was taken, but it certainly doesn’t make the true crime it’s based on any more/less abhorrent.

60 Minutes (1968) S53 E10
Young Frankenstein (1974)
Arcangel2020 5 points 2 years ago*.

This movie is pure comedic Gold! One of my all-time favorite films from Director Mel Brooks (the others are Blazing Saddles and History of The World, Part 1), each and every time I watch this one? It’s as funny and hysterical as the first time I watched it as a little kid. Everything about this one is great…the acting, cast, the comedic timing/jokes as well as the hysterically clever take on the classic horror film Frankenstein.
If you’re having a bad day and/or especially if you want to just enjoy a movie that will make laugh from beginning to end? Just watch this one.

You might also enjoy this one written and directed by Gene Wilder - The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother

Ghosts (2019)
DemandingFemale 6 points 2 years ago.

Absolutely fab! I could watch this ensemble all day. As others have already said, they have worked together for over a decade now and their onscreen chemistry just gets better and better. If you haven’t seen it, you should definitely check out the first 5 seasons of Horrible Histories

The Hunt (2020)
DemandingFemale 13 points 4 years ago.

I enjoyed it for what it was - A black-comedy with action and bloody death. It’s a satirical lampooning of both ends of the political spectrum; a mishmash of stereotypical characters and a script designed to perpetuate their worst stereotypical traits, whilst infuriating those it’s poking fun at for all the wrong reasons.
Some of it is so OTT I genuinely laughed out loud. If you don’t take it too seriously you’ll probably really enjoy it.

Thanks PW team :)

Truth Seekers (2020)
DemandingFemale 9 points 3 years ago.

If you’re hoping for the magic of the Pegg/Frost/Edgar Wright trio, you’ll be sadly dissapointed. Of course, if you’re happy just seeing Pegg and Frost back on screen together, then it’ll be right up your street. For me, it fell a bit flat so I’m hoping they inject a few more decent LOL’s for season 2 (which Frost has been hinting at already)

Misfits (2009) S2 E2
DaniBl 3 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

From what I recall he doesn’t show up until the last season or so. He came in to to fill a space left by some other original characters and it wasn’t the same. I like him as an actor, but wasn’t too happy about him in Misfits and think I stopped watching because of it.

DemandingFemale 5 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Joe Gilgun started in Season 3 after Robert Sheehan (Nathan) left. Lots of people feel the same as you and stopped watching when they reshuffled the cast but I really enjoyed it. It’s worth giving it another go.

Hall (2021)
DemandingFemale 5 points 3 years ago.

Did absolutely nothing for me. B+ Artsy nonsense using a virus -and a pretty boring virus at that- as a means to highlight domestic violence.
Large sections of the movie are English subtitled from Japanese (cast includes Yumiko Shaku)
If you like slow burn psychological horror with a message you might enjoy.

Jungle Cruise (2021)
DemandingFemale 5 points 2 years ago.

If you enjoy PG-13 adventure movies - The Mummy/Indiana Jones/Jumanji - then it’s a great 2hr ride. I’d say it’s tame enough for younger viewers if they’ve seen similar and survived.

Also stars Jack Whitehall - who finally gets to be in a Disney movie!

Hoarders (2009) S9 E5
Davidleefl43 3 points 3 years ago.

i was about to write the same thing the struggle is real

DemandingFemale 7 points 3 years ago.

The new episodes are crazy sad too, if you haven’t seen them.

The Haunted Hotel (2021)
DemandingFemale 7 points 3 years ago*.

Unless you are either into spooky anthologies or British filming style you won’t rate it highly. 8 shorts based in various time periods. Small cast, no big familiar faces, made for TV feel about it. No gore. No jumps. Just old-fashioned ghost tales. 5/10

Train to Busan (2016)
DemandingFemale 8 points 3 years ago*.

There’s little else I could add that hasn’t already been said by others. It’s not only one of the best zombies movies, but probably one of the best horrors of the last decade.
Man, I love fast swarming zombies.

Amazing Stories (2020) S1 E5
DemandingFemale 8 points 4 years ago.

This episode was so reminiscent of the original ‘85 Spielberg series, and all the better for it. My favourite of the 5. Really hope there are more to come in the future.

#Alive (2020)
DemandingFemale 8 points 3 years ago.

If you’re into Korean zombies, this one is definitely worth a watch. It’s a little slow-paced, with a very small living cast, but what it lacks in action it makes up for with a few great infection transformations and an enthusiastic delivery from the infected. Korean’s seem to have a knack for violent transformations and fast-moving Z’s - Me likey.
My only real criticism is the missing English subtitles for on-screen text.

Jojo Rabbit (2019)
DemandingFemale 9 points 4 years ago.

Loved everything about it! I’m just happy to live in a time where I get to enjoy Taika Waititi.

The Empty Man (2020)
DemandingFemale 10 points 3 years ago.

As if I wasn’t empty enough I wasted over 2 hours watching this crap. Save yourself!

Run (2020)
DemandingFemale 6 points 3 years ago.

A fun watch to an inevitable ending - so don’t kick yourself for always being a step ahead, just enjoy the delivery.

The Walking Dead: World Beyond (2020)
DemandingFemale 8 points 3 years ago.

Tommee my first Zombie show.
Imagine if Nickelodeon and The CW had a zombie baby and put it through a blender.

You Should Have Left (2020)
DemandingFemale 7 points 3 years ago.

The synopsis is slightly incorrect, although it does involve a house in Wales.

A former banker, his actress wife, and their daughter book a vacation at an isolated modern home in the Welsh countryside where nothing is quite as it seems.

As systemsoundbar has already said, it pulls very strongly from other sources, including The House of Leaves, and a Creepypasta short story: The Dionaea House. It brings nothing new, or exciting, or particularly scary to either the mystery or horror genre. IMDb ratings have reduced to 5.4, which is about right.

Red Dwarf: The First Three Million Years (2020)
DemandingFemale 7 points 3 years ago.

For anyone that has already seen the series documentaries released on the DVD’s, you won’t get much more out of these, other than up-to-date interviews with cast and crew that cover the same things, and snippets of post-series 10 shows. If you haven’t seen them, they give you a much more in-depth look at each individual series. Still, it’s Red Dwarf… it’s all worth watching ;)

There's Something in the Lake (Short 2021) (2021)
DemandingFemale 4 points 2 years ago.

Runtime is 1hr.

IMDb synopsis - A 13-year-old girl and her two friends fall asleep watching a monster movie and are literally sucked into its world.

Think ‘Are You Afraid of the Dark?’ but with less budget. Aimed at young teens - Jr High age. Not bad for what it is.

Thirteen Lives (2022)
Alien 5 points 1 year ago.

I watched the stupid movie just to answer your stupid question! NO!

DemandingFemale 4 points 1 year ago.

LOL that was a bit stupid.

The Dark Red (2020)
DemandingFemale 8 points 4 years ago.

Definitely more psychological thriller than horror. A very slow burn from beginning to end, so expect more suspense, less action and just a smidgen of blood. Decent budget, decent acting, okay story. I would have given it 3.5 but had to round it up.

Thanks PW Linkers :)

Alex's War (2022)
DemandingFemale 7 points 1 year ago.

I know a few C words that describe Alex Jones - Charismatic is not one of them.

I wouldn’t call it a documentary either. It’s a greatest —I use the term very loosely— hits album you skip half of.

Ghosts of War (2020)
DemandingFemale 6 points 3 years ago.

Starts well - gets interesting - falls at the last hurdle.
For such a small cast, there are plenty of familiar faces; including a bit of Billy Zane action, who hasn’t been credited in the synopsis. Over-all a good attempt at a supernatural war movie, that is only really let down by B-grade CGI and a shoddy end. If you’re into British made war-horror, Deathwatch and Dog Soldiers are both worth checking out.

3.5/5

Underwater (2020)
JadeEnigma 4 points 4 years ago.

Same. I tried. I do enjoy a good monster movie, but I really struggled with this and gave up with about 15 minutes to go when I realised I was forcing myself to keep plugging away at it. I also want to like Kristen Stewart because I love how she triggers the you-know-whats, but damn she’s stiff.

DemandingFemale 6 points 4 years ago.

They actually shot the film in 2017 with a projected 2020 release date. So this is what they came up with in 3 years of post-production. Meh!

The Rental (2020)
DemandingFemale 6 points 3 years ago.

If ever a film could be summed up with the word ‘meh’, this is it. I don’t mind slow burns when there is a reward at the end, but I feel a bit cheated that reward never materialised. 2.5 - rounded up to 3 because it’s Dave Franco’s first feature length (co-wrote and directed)

Thanks PW Teams :)

How to Stay at Home (2021)
DemandingFemale 5 points 2 years ago*.

Not sure if the other commenters even watched them, but I did.

They are under 2 minutes long - episode 4 has all 3 shorts in one. And they are just Goofy being Goofy. There’s no forced ‘new normal’. They aren’t even close to being like the animated PSA’s I grew up seeing during commercials.

They are lovely little classic hand-drawn cartoons. Give’em a go.

Freaks (2019)
DemandingFemale 7 points 4 years ago.

I really enjoyed that! The synopsis really doesn’t do it justice, but any more info would ruin the fun. Lexy Kolker is a wonderful actress and very reminiscent of a young Drew Barrymore, with the same natural talent in front of the camera. Definitely worth a watch.
Thanks PW team :)

A Night of Horror: Nightmare Radio (2019)
DemandingFemale 7 points 4 years ago.

A Horror-Anthology of 8 shorts bridged together by the host of a horror radio show. Some truly great shorts, so don’t be put off by the B-movie feel of the bridging. There are a couple of Argentinian-Spanish shorts which don’t seem to have subtitles; again, don’t be put off - you miss nothing.
Some great writing, acting, makeup and directing. Creepy AF in parts and exactly what horror is lacking right now. I recommend it to any fan of the genre.

Thanks PW Teams :)

Halloween Kills (2021)
DemandingFemale 7 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I don’t think I watched the same movie as the other reviewers because I thought it was shite, lol.
The acting was abysmal, the character tie-ins from the original were weak, and some of the practical effects were straight out of the 70s handbook.
They really should let sleeping psychotic serial killers lie.

The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez (2020)
DemandingFemale 8 points 4 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

Absolutely gut-wrenching. Contains several graphic images of Gabriel’s injuries and extensive descriptions of the abuse and injuries he suffered before he died. Not for the faint-hearted if you’re deeply affected by the subject matter.

The systematic failures of every department involved is staggering, and still continues to contribute to the deaths of hundreds of innocent, vulnerable people every year. Anyone turning a blind eye to abuse and neglect; whether that be child, spouse or elder, should be prosecuted. This ‘do not get involved’ mentality needs to stop. See something - Say something, and keep saying it until action is taken.

Greenland (2020)
DemandingFemale 6 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Either I’ve watched too many disaster movies or I’m just difficult to please, but I found it to be a cliched, predictable borefest. I hadn’t seen any reviews or trailers, yet managed to call the entire thing within the first 10 minutes.
It’s more Drama/Action, and still the action was a bit meh. As others have said, there is far more entertainment to be had watching 2012 - Hell, even Geostorm was better.

Haunt (2019)
DemandingFemale 6 points 4 years ago.

Haunt was far better than expected and, in my opinion, much more enjoyable than the recent Escape Room movies. It’s a Halloween Haunted House off the beaten track, a bunch of college kids and a ton of uncomfortable bloodshed. It’s not going to win awards, but it is a nice little Halloween horror that fans of the genre might enjoy.

Eli Roth is credited as one of the movies producers.

Thanks PW team :)

Overlord (2018)
DemandingFemale 6 points 4 years ago*.

I don’t know why so many hated on this movie. Yes, it brings nothing truly original to the genre, but it’s still a decent historic-horror. It has a small leading cast - including Pilou Asbæk (Euron Greyjoy, GoT) who is always fab to watch - moves along quickly and has some reasonable FX/makeup. When you peel back the layers, it’s still a zombie film at heart, and not a bad attempt at a good one. If that doesn’t sell it - there’s plenty of dead Nazis to find joy from.

The Walking Dead: Origins (2021)
DemandingFemale 5 points 2 years ago.

Good ol’ AMC is really flogging those dead horses.

I managed the first 10 minutes of Daryl’s episode and skimmed through the rest to see if it got any better - it didn’t. It’s basically the cast members reading character episode synopses you’d get in the TV Times. If you’ve already seen the show it’s pointless. If you haven’t seen the show - it’s doubly so.

Thirteen Lives (2022)
Alien 4 points 1 year ago*.

The fact that there were no deaths (of the 13) is a bit unrealistic.
They could have killed off a couple of them. That would have been exciting.

DemandingFemale 3 points 1 year ago.

Does it have the part where Elon shows up to save the day, sulks that he doesn’t, and then starts calling people paedos? If not I’m definitely not watching.

Army of the Dead (2021)
DemandingFemale 3 points 3 years ago*.

This has been a work in progress since Snyder did Dawn of the Dead. It’s easy to poke fun at it being filled with zombie/infected cliches and the merging of the heist/action/zombie, but that’s exactly what Snyder intended. Whether you liked it or not, it’s worth checking out the Making-Of videos. Imagine the aggravation that was caused by having to replace Chris D’Elia with Tig Notaro with solo/CGI shots.

There's Something in the Lake (Short 2021) (2021)
Alien 5 points 2 years ago*.

It was still kinda fun. The trench coat and ending music were a nice touch.

DemandingFemale 3 points 2 years ago.

This is the original short on YouTube - Theres Something in the Lake - Short

Dirty Little Secret (2022)
DemandingFemale 3 points 1 year ago.

Sabrina The Middle Age Hoarder.

Lifetime movie about a teenage girl struggling with her mother’s excessive hoarding.

Lifetime movies aren’t usually my thing but I loves me some hoarders so gave it a go. Now I definitely know why Lifetime movies aren’t usually my thing.

Aftermath (2021)
DemandingFemale 3 points 2 years ago*.

We’ve watched it so you don’t have to. I agree with ShadowWolf - Lifetime horror with a lead actress you hope doesn’t survive just for being so bloody irritating. Nothing original.

The based on a true story thing should be taken with a leprechaun-sized grain of salt. I will reference the criminal case below in spoilers for those interested.

Dirty Little Secret (2022)
ThinMan 3 points 1 year ago.

Hoarding is actually a very serious mental illness. If you haven’t ever seen it, this show about hoarding https://www.primewire.tf/tv/1336062-hoarders is available. It’s actually really shocking (well at least to me). I had 2 family members+ who went down this rabbit hole. There really isn’t any bringing them back, no matter how hard you try. At least, that was my experience. I haven’t seen this movie, but it searching for something to watch, I found your comment, though I think you are not recommending it? I don’t care much for Lifetime, so will probably give it a miss myself.

DemandingFemale 3 points 1 year ago.

Hoarders should have been capitalised in my review - It’s one of the few shows I watch. I have known a few hoarders over the years and their brains are definitely wired differently. If you’re interested in the subject matter then this movie is an okay watch. Just a typical daytime drama.

Day of the Dead (2021)
DemandingFemale 4 points 2 years ago.

SyFy + Zombies? Count me in! As someone who liked and misses Z Nation, this is filling the void. It’s nowhere near the same level of ZN WTFism, but it’s entertaining nevertheless. The Z’s looked great too.

Deadly Manor (1992)
WabidWabit 1 points 4 years ago.

Love the site..Just a mini FYI, wrong release date or wrong movie.. Just a hiccup.

🥰😋🥰

DemandingFemale 5 points 4 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I reported it in the forum on your behalf. If you come across anything else with incorrect dates, posters or info, you can report it in the Fix It forum thread :)

Underwater (2020)
DemandingFemale 5 points 4 years ago.

Damn. I really wanted to like it but, damn. No character introduction. No setting introduction. It was so dark you spend the whole second act squinting. There’s also an audio limiter on the DVD copies I have watched - So, probably best watched with headphones if you don’t want to be forever turning the sound up and down. It’s an underwhelming shit sandwich of Kirsten Stewart narration.

Thanks PW Team :)

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1981)
DemandingFemale 5 points 4 years ago.

This is the story of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Perhaps the most remarkable, certainly the most successful book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor. More popular than the Celestial Homecare Omnibus, better selling than 53 More Things to do in Zero Gravity, and more controversial than Oolong Colluphid’s trilogy of philosophical blockbusters “Where God Went Wrong” “Some More of God’s Greatest Mistakes” and “Who is This God Person, Anyway?”.

One of my all time favourites! If you enjoy this series, or even the abomination of a remake, I would strongly recommend you check out the original books and BBC Radio 4 series. They don’t age quite as much as the TV series and are hilariously funny.

Thanks Linkers!

Richard Jewell (2019)
Ditzygypsy 9 points 4 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

I wish people would say why they give something one star. I try to explain my judgement. Is the movie poorly made? Is the acting awful? Do you think it’s well-made but disagree with the content or slant of the perspective of the creators? I like biopics, and I remember this. I felt very sorry for him, and I believe the whole disaster they made of his life was definitely avoidable, but I don’t know the inside of the story (because I wasn’t there, as most of us also were not there) to know if there is or isn’t just one person to push that blame on. I want to see this because Eastwood makes good movies, and because it’s my favourite genre. I will come back and say if it liked it in an edit. But it doesn’t mean I liked the perspective, and I’ll try to say so if that’s the case. It is just one movie maker’s perspective. At any rate, Richard deserved a movie about his ordeal. That much I do feel strongly about. Please explain why you feel this is a low-rate, one-star movie. If you actually watched it, that is.
I’m not sure what I may have said that seemed like a spoiler in my actual “review” below, because I didn’t reveal anything that we don’t already know historically, but I was asked to put my spoiler parts in spoiler brackets. So I think I have to put this entire piece in as a spoiler? I have always understood history to be unspoilable unless you live under a rock. Please don’t live under a rock.
EDIT: I enjoyed the movie. The acting was superb. I felt the same heartache for Richard as I always did. I don’t think the Press is bad. Reporting is necessary, especially where politicians are concerned! I’m not American, but I don’t believe the FBI is corrupt, but there are ambitious people who seem soulless in every line of work. I think this was a snowballing effect of tunnel vision and personal ambition, but the reporter who stared it all is also no longer here to add any further personal insight to her actions. This is one take on the story, and for the most part, as we saw it unfold in front of our eyes, this is what happened on the outside. Whether or not what went on inside the minds and through the actions of the key players in the FBI and the Press happened the way this movie shows us, we can’t know for certain. But something did go wrong, and it was human action that caused it. I believe the Press is very important, and there are hundreds of journalists who do their jobs with integrity, just as there are those integrity-driven people populating law enforcement. There are bad people in every line of work. This movie in no way changes my opinion of the news I take in or my feelings about the good that law enforcement does. I am just glad Richard’s story got told. My heart goes out to his mother, too, since I’m a single mom of one son. Thank you, uploaders.

DemandingFemale 5 points 4 years ago*.

The ‘Spoiler’ thing is probably to keep the comment section a little tidier when discussions are going on. Especially when unrelated to the movie. You should copy and paste your review into a separate comment without the spoilers brackets.
As for everything else - couldn’t agree more. I spend a bit of time upvoting and star’ing things to even the odds. Screw ‘em.

Gunpowder (2017)
DemandingFemale 5 points 4 years ago.

Guy Fawkes’ name may have become infamously tied with the plot, but few know the names of the other 12 conspirators. This goes someway to fixing that. They did take a little poetic license with some of the facts but the basic history is there. Brit’s still celebrate the foiled plot every November 5th, with bonfires, burning effigies and fireworks.

Christopher Catesby Harington (Kit) is actually a direct descendant of Robert Catesby, the ringleader of the entire plot.

It’s worth a watch if you’re interested in history or historic drama.

A Christmas Carol (2019)
DemandingFemale 5 points 4 years ago.

It’s quite a dark adaptation meant for an adult audience. I didn’t realise this until Scrooge dropped his first F-bomb. It touches on some delicate topics, has some very mild horror/violence and occasional bad language. I really enjoyed it. It doesn’t matter in which guise the story is told, it’s a great tale of redemption.
Both Tom Hardy and Ridley Scott are credited as Executive Producer.
