The Gallows (Film)

October month is definitely ghost movie month! Here's a review for The Gallows, a found-footage kinda movie that we are oh so tired of. And yeah, I didn't watch it at the big screen, just waited for it to be available for download. Saved some bucks.

Why? Because just like any other found-footage type of movie, this one can be described as cliche and typical. There were a few boos and bahs moment which were out of place. Why does a camera footage have these sound effects? I bet CinemaSins would have a great time pointing out everything wrong about this movie, or just give up halfway due to repetitiveness and boredom. This is a movie with a weak storyline with a predictable ending.

Anywaaaaays... Compared to other movies of the same genre... (we're talking bout Quarantine, Cloverfield, Blair Witch Project, Evidence, etc...) The Gallows still needs lots to polish up. However, it managed to keep me interested to keep watching till the end. I'll give it a fair 5/10 since it's not good, and also not to bad. A good movie for a stay home date.

Goosebumps (Film)

Ooooh..! What a busy absence! I'm back for reviews, ladies and gentlemen... This time, it's Goosebumps, the movie.

Honestly it has been ages since Goosebumps the series were aired. I totally have forgotten the details. It was a random decision to watch Goosebumps, as other movies don't seem to appeal. (Seriously, what's with Vin Diesel playing Hobo Witchhunter?). I am also more of a Fear Street fan, rather than the Goosebumps series. For me Fear Street is a little more grownup compared to it.

The movie was alright. It had some funny moments which managed to crack some people up at the cinema. Well, some douche laughed more than it was funny, so I don't know... The characters were fun to watch and the storyline was as simple as a PG13 movie would be.

Nevertheless, I would give the movie a 7/10 rating. I managed to stay up till the end, so it wasn't a wasted movie ticket. Although the movie ended with a chance of a sequel, I honestly think it is better left as is. A sequel would ruin it, trust me.
