Milk & Serial
Watched this last night, it's a free movie on YouTube that's been getting a lot of buzz. A couple young comedians wrote and directed and self produced a low budget horror flick, for their YouTube channel. I do mean low budget, the hour long movie had a budget of a whooping $800.....lol. This a found footage horror flick and really, the low budget helps give it a feel of authenticity. The movie is a bout a couple of friends that have a channel on YouTube and post prank videos. It's actually pretty good, the low budget makes it feel almost real and there's a real creepiness to it and by the end made me wonder how much was acting and how much closer to their real life.......lol. It's a pretty impressive effort considering it had no budget and just a bunch of friends making a video, I'd like to see what they could do with a budget, even a modest one. 7.5/10
Longlegs
Another low budget, but huge in comparison to "Milk & Serial", horror flick that stars Nicholas Cage. It's about a young FBI agent tracking a serial killer that has been stalking children. It has a little bit of a retro vibe to it and kinda felt a little like movie from A24. Cage is barely recognizable with the hair and makeup for this role, but he does a good job with being twisted and creepy. It does have an eerie feel to it, but kinda wanted more from it and a little better pacing, but overall I still enjoyed it. 6.5/10
