My top movie for 2918 so far is Hereditary but everyone is going to be recommending that one so I would say "I Remember You". I know you don't like ghost movies but it is a solid movie 9/29/2018 04:55:30 am
In response to the viewer question, I'd recommend: Upgrade. It may have some problems but it has some pretty crazy moments and interesting ideas. Go into it blind if you can, not the greatest in sci-fi but I think you'll enjoy it.

I really enjoyed Office Uprising as I thought the concept was original. The humor suits the movie well and the action is balls to the wall.

My favorite, and imo best 2018 movie is ''Hereditary'', even after watching the trailer (months ago), I didn't see that ''twist'' coming, and the final sequence freaked me out (the only few movies that scared the sh*t outta me, in recent years, was ''The Exorcist 3'' and ''The Blair Witch Project''), it was an amazing experience. And Toni Collette (who's great as always) was incredible! Leave a Reply. |
