Within the first two days of 2023, I have somehow managed to watch the best film AND the worst film I'll see all year...

I ed the perfect nipple placement. However, I did not the redneck licking a porno and reminding a mannequin that it took his virginity. What a stupid, stupid movie.

I thought about turning this off for a large portion of the movie. It felt drab, convoluted, and pretentious but I knew it was now or never for me to watch it. After toughing it out and reflecting afterwards, I’m still very disappointed. I had high hopes with this being my first film from director Tarkovsky and I was under the impression this is his best work. I appreciate the cinematography, heavy dialogue, and complex messaging but this was too slow to keep me interested. A lot of it definitely went over my head but hopefully it’ll click for me next time.

I refuse to believe the director of Grave of the Fireflies made this unfinished student film.

The average shot length is half a second. One star for Charlize.

After watching the 17 films from the Nightmare and Friday franchises combined, I can honestly say this is my least favorite. I had high expectations given its exciting crossover premise but this flat out sucks. The acting, writing, music, lighting, editing, and camerawork are so terrible at times that it often feels unintentionally hilarious. The fight and gore scenes are decent but this had so much more potential given its privileged opportunities of advanced technology and legendary storylines. Jason and Freddy…
