Unsane Movie Review

-

The horror thriller that was shot completely on an iPhone, hopefully, it's not as cheap as it looks.
Unsane is the latest movie by Steven Soderbergh that was shot completely on an iPhone camera (and probably some software we cant afford). The movie Stars Claire Foy as Sawyer who is paranoid that her stalker is still following her, but when she tries to get help get locked into a mental institute, now if you don't need a blunt after a day like that. 

Could you tell it was on an iPhone?

I mean it was shot on an iPhone 7 plus, of course, you can tell it was shot on an iPhone. as soon as I saw the trailer I could tell that it was just someone shooting on the iPhone it looks like a straight to CW film, but it was impressive how good Soderbergh could make it work though. I can't even get a good 30 second snap from my iPhone, but his ass can make a feature film and get it nationally released with his.  If only I had that kinda talent, but anyways, Soghher made a big deal about using the iPhone and thinks it could be the future making films. I highly doubt that shit but using this style for this film worked. Having an iPhone means closer shots which helped make the movie fill more personal almost as if you are the main character trying to get out of that nut house. 

Story

Now we all know on those nights were you cant blaze before bed, and get those terrible nightmares where you are trapped in a looney house and cant get out, or maybe that just me, but anyways that's what this film is. The way she gets locked up is kinda comical and hard to believe she allowed to get that far, but after that, you instantly want to get out of that crazy house just as bad a Claire does. The film does a great job of making you feel for the main character, but also makes you question whether or not she is actually crazy or not until it is revealed later on in the film. Some people might think this is a horror film, but don't go in expecting jump scares. This movie is more unsettling and disturbing than it is horror.

Characters 

Overall I think the cast was great in the film. Every character, Especially the hospital staff,  played their parts well and hell they had me convinced that they actually worked for a crazy house before. Additionally, Claire's character really makes a lot of stupid choices in the film to get herself in this situation. From the decisions, she makes to her attitude Its just not what you would do in this situation. It really laughable at times how’s stupid she is, but hey it’s a horror movie so what do you expect.



Although I would not want to see another movie from an iPhone on the big screen for awhile, I really liked this movie. It kept me entertained, It made me feel as if I was in her situation, and most importantly of all, it didn't blow my high. Ill give Unsane 4 out of 5 blunts. If you can I suggest seeing it in the theaters the dark room and load speakers will help with the other experience of the movie.

Cargo (2018) - Netflix Movie Review

-

"Netflix decided they might as well try their luck in the zombie movie franchise, and it might have worked" Cargo is the newest Netflix original movie directed by Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke and stars Martin Freeman as a man who is trying to survive a zombie apocalypse, until one day he is bitten and now has 48 hours to find a safe place for his young daughter before he turns into a zombie himself. The film takes an interesting and personal approach to the zombie apocalypse not really focusing on the zombies, but on martin freeman's character and his quest to find a safe place for his daughter. The premise sounds interesting enough, but could these directors make a fresh post-apocalyptic movie, or is this just another generic zombie movie that we will forget about? Well, let's see as I will give you all the highs and all the downers and overall tell you whether or not this movie is worth blazing and turning on Netflix for. Highs  Enter...

Overboard - Movie Review

-

"A remake of a movie that no one wanted, this should be good." Overboard directed by Gary Marshall stars Kurt Russell and..oh wait, sorry that's the wrong one. Overboard directed by Rob Greenberg stars Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez and is a remake of the 1987 film that starred Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The original movie focuses on a rich spoiled asshole heiress who goes overboard and gets amnesia and is tricked by Russell's character into believing she is his wife as repayment for her being an asshole to him. The remake follows a pretty similar story, almost beat for beat, but this time decided to switch the roles of course, or else it wouldn't be original. No one was really calling for this remake, hell not a lot of people even liked the original. So I was not looking forward to this movie. But could this movie surprise me and maybe even be better than the original or should this remake be thrown overboard? Highs Cas...

Adrift (2018)- Movie Review

"An inspiring true story of a woman lost at sea being brought to the big screen, well the sea could have kept this story" Adrift is directed by Baltasar Kormakur and loosely follows the real-life survival story of Tami Oldham, played by Shailene Woodley, and her lover Richard Sharp, played by Sam Claflin,  as they try to survive while stranded at sea after being hit by a massive storm. It was inevitable that Hollywood would turn this interesting story of survival into a movie, but just cause her true story was interesting doesn't mean they could make a movie that would be the same.  Did Kormakur manage to turn Tami's story of survival at sea into a worth wild film, or should Hollywood have just left this idea adrift at sea? Well, that's what you got me for to tell you all the highs and all the downers that I got from this film and let you know whether this film is worth a hit or a pass that might just blow your movie-goi...
