It would seem a lot of people have been getting burned by taking a chance on things only to waste 90 minutes and a bunch of bandwidth on being disappointed. Reminds me of going to the video store in the late 90's/early 2000's, except there you could turn the movie case over and go, "Asylum Films? Brain Damage Films? Nope."Bryan Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17835986554895513998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823463624877247075.post-18491089290093706542015-04-07T14:16:23.242-07:002015-04-07T14:16:23.242-07:00I'm lucky enough to have read your review befo...I'm lucky enough to have read your review before giving into temptation on Netflix, for which I am deeply grateful. I will express this gratitude but suggesting against "Devils Backbone Texas" (lamentable found-footage that craps the bed after flinging poop at most of the few good bits that preceded-- yep, it takes two different scatological metaphors to handle it properly) and recommending heartily "Don't Blink" (spam in a cabin, but decent story, reasonable and adult characters, and no reliance on bad effects or gross-outs).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823463624877247075.post-47739133228004352642015-03-25T14:55:47.755-07:002015-03-25T14:55:47.755-07:00Noted.

The worst thing about it, to me, is that it is almost an interesting movie--all those dropped plot points you mentioned kept me watching til the end, hoping for a payoff that never came. <br /><br />Speaking of missing payoffs, I'd avoid Muck, which basically makes all the same mistakes as Animal, only with an even more infuriating ending.Doug Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651720537097952075noreply@blogger.com
