“Pyewacket” (2017)

Everything about this movie is just right. I was hooked throughout the movie but can’t say I was on the edge of my seat. The ending is quite brutal.

“Moloch” (2022)

It has an interesting premise with decent characters and a good twist. Mostly well pace except getting carried away with a direction with no pay off in the mid act.

“Phantom Of The Opera” (1925)

Felt underwhelmed after watching it. Can’t pinpoint what I dislike. Perhaps, it’s the pace and the character designs. Impressive production though.

“Curse 2: The Bite” (1989)

It is an OK movie with great practical special effects but it could be better if there are less fillers and better characters who makes better decisions.

“Requiem” (2006)

“Creature ” (1985)
