I actually went on a tear this weekend.

The new Mission Impossible movie was my theater viewing. It delivered on everything I expected it too, and even managed a few surprises.

I watched Evil Dead Rise which weirdly kinda worked as a proper Evil Dead movie. I tend to put most of my horror film watches in the guilt category as they rarely transcend their genres and are so often just schlock, but I can enjoy a film in almost any genre. If you like horror films, or more specifically the Evil Dead genre style, this one works. It manages to feel close enough to a Sam Raimi made installment.

I saw a low budget thriller called Unseen which was strong for its premise. And had several great moments (although I did feel there was a big gap in how one of the minor characters was handled).

And watched two other terrible Horror films:

  • There’s Something Wrong with the Children – not good at all, skip
  • The Deep House – also terrible, but was interesting to see a horror film shot almost entirely underwater in scuba gear. An interesting experience in that sense.

    Saw Mission impossible as well this weekend.

    What a great movie! Especially that train sequence at the end!

    Really reminded me of that sequence from one of the uncharted games. Uncharted 2 I think?

      Yeah I saw some articles about that comparison. Really fun time and a spectacle worth taking in. I find that the older I get, the more tired I get of well worn ground, but it also seems to get easier just to enjoy a well made spectacle.
