Spring Lakes (2023)
Gruesome
The scariest dysfunctional family ever to hit the screens. A relationship between a mother and son ( brilliantly portrayed by Rosalind Stockwell and James Bryhan) to rival that of Norman Bates and "mother"
I thought this was going to be another in the woods horror and so didn't have much expectation, but as I watched the entwining levels of emotions , both human and beyond, the story became less black and white and more shades of grey. David Lamont was full on twisted and sickening. Something all horror bad guys should be. Evil and funny , almost a Freddy Krueger minus the claws , but seeing what he does to one of the characters, he doesn't need claws. Bryhan's performance was fantastic. The range of human emotions from the underlying subtle nuances when with his Mother shows a history of some sort of abuse with the little lost boy to the full out rage and frustration only matched by Stockwells magnificence. I only wish these two had more screen time together.
Rupture
Futuristic Martial Arts Blockbuster
Set in the not so distant dystopian future Raven Black (played by Mark Strange) is a man who is seeking revenge on those who put him away.
Mark Strange is good as Raven Black, a portrayal of a man on a path of redemption.
Some fantastic fight scenes, like the knife fight in the Hallway with Nick 'The Blade' Khan which is fantastic.
There are two really great performances here with James Bryan as Sanford, a man Raven is ultimately betrayed by and David Lamont as Smoke who is beyond crazy and unhinged. These guys stood out for me as the emotional toil of the movie and made Raven's revenge seem worthwhile and meaningful.
Ranjeet S Marwa (Director ) has put together a film similar in style to Blade Runner and its a wonderful homage, if you like to the film.
Shadow and Bone: Otkazat'sya (2021)
Great episode
Great show and marvelous cast. The storyline was good , except for the robbery. What happened to the archivist? Will he return? I hope so. I'd like to see how he felt about his archives being robbed and what he would do about it.
Exiled: The Chosen Ones (2024)
Exciting and dark.
Firstly, Im not a fan of martial arts films and even less , horror, but this film intrigued me. I had heard of some of the cast before.. Sunny Pang, James Bryhan and wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
I sat there with my husband ,gripping his arm ,waiting for the horror to start and by the end of the film, i was perched on my chair screaming and throwing myself into it.
I can say, Exiled has converted the unconvertable. This movie has all the elements of a great cast and story.
I'm looking forward to what happens next.
