So, I watched this movie tonight with my friend Sam for Tahmoh Penikett alone, but turns out it's a really great movie.

Possible spoilers ahead to I'll mark it to be safe.

1) I loved the circular storytelling and how the stories are all connected. Each story is part ofthe bigger one, and i loved the way it felt messy and yet it made sense 2) I loved the acting - it actually looked like everyone had a blast.

3) The bab. Sammy Boy. Adorable little guy - both Sam and I loved him so much. He's just a little guy (this is how I know I wouldn't survive in a horror situation. I see a cute little monster and I want to adopt it) 4) Tahmoh was great as usual but his character LMAO that scene where he sleeps with the p*rno on... Help I laughed so hard.

5) After watching the movie, Sam and I wondered if there was a sequel. We need it like. Yesterday. We found some shorts on Vimeo, as well as The Marking Of, and we ended up watching those as well. Totally recommended - It was great to see the Behind the Camera stuff, and while Sam is American and knew the Halloween stuff being told, I didn't know most of the stuff and also found out I'd been pronouncing Celtic wrong all along (Listen... English ain't my first language, bear with me).

Anyway. 10/10 recommended this was so fun and Sammy Boy is so cute I need a hundred of them.

I gotta be honest - I watched this movie only because David Haydn-Jones is in it.

I was warned it wasn't great, but not totally bad either.

Mr. Haydn-Jones is great, as always, and Lindsay Price was good too, although I've never seen her other works so I can't say I can see her microexpressions and details s much as I saw David's. Unfortunately, her character, Nikki, was extremely annyoing. Her husband is filled with grief, crying, desperate, sad for the deat hof his father (and good lord, David DELIVERED)... and Nikki is over there thinking she wants to keep the damn house to use it. Like girl. Support your husband instead... Anyway. I think David and Lindsay did have good chemistry on screen, so that's nice, even though the movie was predictable in all its points.

It's kind of a "classic" haunting story. What I would've appreciated more was Kimmika's POV. We only see her silent, angry, and then one smile. And we only get the ancestor's POV (and jfc his words were so creepy...) Despite the fact the story was predictable, it wasn't badly done overall - i liked many of the shots, the actors were good, so I wouldn't say I totally wasted my time.

The first half is extremely boring. It picks up in the late second half. I really like the dynamic between Cap and Bucky, so at least there is that. Overall, not the best marvel movie

I admit it, I wanted to watch this movie only for George Eads. I like a lot of war movies, though, and this was no different. Apart from learning of a battle I did not know about, I liked how they handled the characterization. The protagonists are kids, and it shows. They are young, they are scared, and they are desperate to survive. The actors make a really good job at delivering emotions and overall the battle is basically a background to the show of very human emotions. Watching it in two different languages (Korean and English), I thought I may get distracted a lot and get bored. I did not, because of what I said above. I wish this movie may have bren shown in Italian theaters, but I guess it's not overly famous. A pity, I say.
