31 Posts Of Halloween: The Hallow


The Hallow is a 2015 horror film set in Ireland, and it was pretty good.

The Hallow follows a family that moves into the country in Ireland for the husbands work, but the supernatural beings that are within the forrest, don't like their new neighbors.
Alright, so I've been wanting to see this movie for the past couple of months, and I've finally gotten around to watching it. After viewing, The Hallow, I thought it was actually pretty good.
The monster designs are pretty creative, and it's based off of Irish lore. They don't delve to deep into the lore however, but it's still interesting and now I want to read up on it more.
There definitely is an eerie feeling throughout the film, and it's done in such an effective way, I have to applaud the film for it.
The acting in this film is well done, and it has a small budget feel to the film as well, so given that, it really is impressive what they accomplished in making this movie. There wasn't a bad actor in the whole thing.
The Hallow is a pretty good film, and I would recommend seeing it. Is it perfect? No. Is it entertaining? Yes. This is just one of those films that was hidden away and should have gained more attention than it actually did.



final score: 3/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
