10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) Movie Review: Thriller, Mystery, Drama

Posted on by showreview8833

10 Cloverfield Lane is one of the best thrillers, mystery movie that ever came out. It is set in the same universe of Cloverfield 2008. This movie follows a young woman named Michelle that has woken up in an underground bunker with a locked door. She eventually meets the man named Howard that brought her there. He told her that aliens have invaded the earth and he rescued her after her car had gotten into a accident. He also tells her that the air above is very toxic and the only safe place is in the bunker. Throughout the movie Michelle brush this off as nonsense. She felt like she has really been kidnapped. Eventually another man named Emmett also come into the bunker, he is friends with Howard. Michelle and Emmett decide to devise a plan to get out the bunker after not fully believing Howard. The story then heats up with twists and turns throughout it. I highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in the horror, thriller, mystery genre. It sets a creepy tone all the way to the end. I also love the mystery aspect of the movie. You don’t know if to believe what Howard say or not.

Lost (TV Series 2004-2010) Review: Stranded on an supernatural island

Posted on by showreview8833

Lost is a science fiction thriller show about a group of strangers stranded on a supernatural island after a plane crash. Lost is a unique show from the rest of the shows in this genre. Instead of the plot of the series driving the story forward, it is in fact the characters that makes this series so iconic. Each character of the show is perfectly flawed. They each bring with them secrets and hidden pasts to the island. As the story progress there is a complex bond that form between the characters. Every character has a driving forcing for them to get off the island. I think the mysterious island and the unknown monsters that live on it is just a added bonus to this great show. The main theme of this show is of self-reflection. The more the cast is on the show they start to questioning their lives and how they live it. The main character of the show Jack Shepherd is a doctor that has an obsession with saving people. He is the leader among the group of strangers. The people of the island view him as someone who is hero. They are dependent on him alone to guide them to safety and a way off the island. I highly recommend for anyone interested in science fiction thriller genre to give this show a shot.

Time Lapse (2014) Movie Review: Thrilling, Exciting, Suspenseful, Science Fiction

Posted on by showreview8833

Time Lapse is one of the best science fiction movies I saw this year. The plot of this move center around a machine that can take photos one day into the future at an object it is direct at. The three friends of this movie decide to exploit this machine technique for personal gains. They decide to use the machine to place bet on racing game. As the movie progresses, one of the friends gets greedier than the rest. This new development in the story also brings with it jealously, greed, betrayal, and violence. It was interesting to watch the complex relationship between these three characters. Each of them had a goal as to why they want to use the machine. One for greed, one for success, and one to rekindle love. I really enjoy the concept of a time travel photo machine in this movie. The writers brought a fresh breath of air to the time traveling genre with this movie. Throughout this movie I was at the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next. I highly recommend anyone that like science fiction thriller movies to take the plunge and watch this film.

Tales From The Crypt (TV Series 1989-1996) Review

Posted on by showreview8833

Tales from the crypt is a television show that ran from 1989-1996. The show is based around horror themes, suspense, and dark comedy. The host of the show is known as the crypt keeper. He is a skeleton puppet of the show that provides a brief plot introduction as to what is going to happen in the episode to follow. The show does not follow continuation. Each episode is a stand alone. The tales told by the crypt keeper often revolve around greed, lust, revenge, murder, and jealousy. Most of the episodes conclude with a twist at the end of the show. The downside to this is after a while you can figure out what the ending is going to be. So the mass suspense built up throughout the episode is ruined. There are some episodes that can be pretty boring and have minimum to no plot to it. Others might have a stronger cast of colorful characters. One of my favorite episode from this show is season 5 episode 1 titled “Death Of Some Salesman”. It features a charismatic salesman that con unsuspecting people out of burial rights. His luck turns for worse overtime when he knocks on the wrong door. I don’t want to spoil the rest of the episode for you, but you should definitely watch it.
