The Writers View:

When we talk of remaking a film, it should be a good try to make the first movie a better one out of a new idea and that something should be that impressive to start anew. If the original movie was already solid one and both the critics and the audiences accepted it, then the remake should be harder and more solid that when compared to the first one, there will be no ashamed or else don’t bother remaking it all. This film is a movie that was released way back in 1990 and it is an enjoying film to watch, although the overall outcome has so many matters of its own. In this movie, it still needs some improvement and the version of the movie becomes the supernatural thriller when the time came for their third act, making the viewers to watch a confusing film at all.

The Writers View:

The movie has a full brilliant metaphors, and if you are aware of the Greek mythology with its history to comprehend most of it. The movie is not a comedy or a horror film. It is a thriller drama with strong religious traces. It is the mixture between that Binding of Isaac with a story of Job. In whatever mystic being is accountable for grueling the two kids have that moral lesson that is well described like that “eye for an eye”. This is something that humanity would have conquered in the coming 2000 years. The picture ends with a completed happy finale, where a father will simply kill a member of their family. This really works in the implications that a punishment stops.

The Writers View:

Just the same with the other Chucky movies, Brad Dourif is absolutely delighted for the voice of that killer doll. It felt that events has transpired in the film help in showing how passionate Mr. Dourif still has for voicing the same character and the choices he has been a voice actor. Nica as a returning character has some very interesting personality development to the entire movie whilst that comes up to terms with the actions in the Curse of Chucky as well as facing Chucky again. Unlike most of the sequels that seemed to throw the continuity out, the movie did a great job with the throwing back to its former entries with a franchise in the subtle. Also, the practical effects and the sum of gore being used was really admirable.

The Writers View:

Based on the novel of Stephen King’s of similar title, 1922 is just like Stephen King’s personal edition of Allen Poe’s eternal classic stories that set around Wilfred James, the Nebraska farmer with the bitter wife known as Arlette and the loyal son known as Henry. The hardworking but not that successful farmer discovers himself with increasing pressure from the wife when she visibly begins to express her aggravations living in the state and wanted to find her all of that 100 acres land that she take inheritable and transferred to the huge city. The movie is beautifully done, with an effective slow-burn horror and drama and the unrecognizable Thomas Jane gave his best performances here in his entire career. He is deeply sincere and really a committed performance was given in this movie. The movie is one of the best and deserves some recognition.

The Writers View:

Individually, we are rating, liking and disliking movies. For this film, there are many people that says they like it, others says, they don’t. It is just clear that the film is quite a polarize novel. The movie makes the viewers feel excited about what is going to be its outcome when it became a movie. The movie is really enjoyable, knowing that it is one of King’s novels and became a movie adaptation. It is very interesting to know how they come up with such an ending that will be a talk of the town, and in most cases, this is just one movie that became a better version of the book.

He recruited his buddies to have checked it, believing his sibling may still be alive.

The Writers View:

In this movie, the characters fell into a predictable horror film tropes. It is a bit silly when they have been scared already by the Pennywise for many times. What really saves this movie is he kidding performances. Bill really did a great job with the Pennywise. But, he lacks that charm wherein Tim Curry had, but still, these are big gaps that are going to fill-in with this film. In particular, Lieberher and Lillis, being the kids were really amazing with their performances. The viewers also felt the empathy for the bullied Henry, played by Hamilton. While Wolfhard the joker; and Finn also did well with their performance.
