Obsession
7.5/10
Very difficult movie to rate. I loved the premise, most of the execution and the performance of Michael Johnston was great (though some of his choices were 🙄), I could really feel his dread and despair. There were some over the top scenes (like how fake the smashing of the head looked) which can really ruin a movie for me. In this case it didn’t ruin the movie because of the positive aspects, but it does make it difficult to rate it a full 8/10.

The suspenseful atmosphere and fast pacing kept me gripped throughout the entire movie and that’s why I’m going with 7/10 despite some very stupid and illogical character decisions (though yes, people make stupid decisions) and plot developments, like choosing to leave the safe zone despite all warnings, saying you’ll always stick together and then just wander off, and going around hugging people with infected blood all over you…

7/10? 8/10? Need to sleep on it…
Edit: I did sleep on it and still I don’t know. I felt like the movie was too long, with side paths that still have me wondering if they’re necessary (still not convinced they are but also not convinced they aren’t), and yet again it kept me engaged throughout. Why? The acting? The build up of the character with a great final touch? I just don’t know….

Tough movie to watch, because yes, this shit happens. Not only with young adult girls, but also with girls younger than 12 years olds, recruited in the neighborhood, when they come out of school. The acting isn’t superb, as is the case with a lot of Dutch movies, but the message is essential and it did hit me! As do all the one star reviews 💔 0

Wow!
I absolutely loved the book and was therefore quite anxious to see what they did with the movie. So I was glad to have read the book some time ago so I wouldn’t notice small differences between the book and the movie (I have the memory of a goldfish). But still: how would they depict Rock, would they stay true to the (for me) important parts of the book, especially towards the end, and what would be the impact of Gosling playing the MC (as I’m not his biggest fan…)? But boy did it deliver! Loved Rocky and yes, loved Dr. Grace as well, outstanding performance by Gosling. I laughed, I cried, I bit my sweater from tension and suspense. And those scenes, absolutely visually stunning. Amaze, amaze, amaze!

Didn't fully know what to expect and not being a fan of the mix of horror and comedy, I went into this a bit hesitantly. But it sure delivered: mainly a psychological thriller with some gore and subtle/not over the top humor combined with great acting and a fun plot where you keep thinking it can go either way and then you’re suddenly hit with another twist. Yes, very entertaining, would definitely recommend.

A fun and engaging add to the The Final Destination franchise, adhering to its core elements but with a little more complexity to the storyline/plot. The suspense is palpable like in the first movie (still my favorite) but there’s also gore and dark humor/comedic elements. More a 7.5/10. 0

After reading so many negative reviews I was prepared for the worst but (maybe because of that) I actually enjoyed it. It indeed doesn’t have the sparkling magical vibe it used to have, feeling more like a “mission impossible“ but still delivers mystery and good heist. 0

You know something bad is going on with your daughter, she dress the same symbols in her room and you just let it be? You don’t know where your daughter is so instead of turning on the lights you grab a flashlight. But that’s not worst part. Yes it has some good elements (hence still 5/10 stars) but it totally lost the feeling of the series and just isn’t as good as the previous movies, with the first being the best imo. Black strands and monsters just aren’t scary. Real life creepy situations (with one person standing over someone, staring), not knowing what’s going on, etc. is what made the earlier movies scary and full of tension. Alas… 0

These movies are primarily about tension, expectation of jump scares (which are there but are not the main focus imo), the anxiety of the unknown and unseen. This movie leaves that behind a bit and therefore is the one I liked least. Also the connection to movie 1 and 2 isn’t as good/natural as the link between 1 and 2. 0

Thought I’d checked Lb that I’d not seen this movie. But right from the start I knew that I had. However, thinking I’d not rated it, I watched it again. Now went to rate and review, and what do you know, I’d rated it 7/10… Without written review though.
I’m older now, and maybe that’s the reason this movie made a much greater impact on me now: choices in life….law, faith, love, humanity and do many more factors that influence our choices and decisions.
Also, great performance by Emma. 💔

Another very entertaining sequel! These characters however were mostly unlikable (except for Kevin and Wendy) so I was cheering when they got killed (my cheering actually started l in the previous movie where a stupid guy scared off some pigeons and got his reward)… But the dread of nearing death was still very palpable. Looking forward to the next one. 0
