A lo-fi mystery that might be a tough nut to crack. It's not too hard to decipher what is going on, the film is quite clear about that from the start. The point of it all is less obvious though. I have no doubt there is more to the story than meets the eye, only I can't quite figure out what it is. Carter puts in a strong performance and the mystery is interesting (not to mention it's kept relevant until the very end), the styling is a bit basic though and while the ending is pretty fun, it's also rather cheesy. Imitation Girl is not a bad film, it's just that the execution could've used a little extra polish.Read all
It's a bit late to do a '85 episode of the V/H/S anthology if you ask me, but I guess it made sense since they never actually handled the 80s explicitly. This certainly wasn't the best of the series, but I figured I'd give it a go as there's already a new one out. Keeping up with horror films is a bit harder these days. There are some decent segments, but the old V/H/S look is a bit overdone and I'm not a fan of the 80s aesthetic at all. I liked the wrap-around segment best, and the Mexican one was interesting too. The rest felt obsolete and derivative. There's still some decent fun to be had for hardcore horror fans, but this series needs a quality injection if it wants to keep on going.Read all
