Rate The Last Movie You Saw

My Cousin Rachel (2017)

Good film. Not a favourite but i liked alot of things about it. Jesus the start of this was so messed up, the idea that she was technically awake during that although deeply drugged out of her mind so she couldn't scream or fight back, damn Romero was not holding back here. Martin instantly got right under my skin, with how young he clearly is and his super creepy attempts to lull her to sleep, "it's to help you sleep, it's very important to me that you don't feel a thing" dang. Got to admit characters that don't talk to others to the extent Martin does are very awkward to watch for me, obviously not if it's young kids but Martin at the very least has got to be 16. That was my only real problem with his character, otherwise i found Martin very interesting and think John Lamplas did a good job. It's weird the way Martin is as put in the film essentially an imbecile, yet he's super talented at being a creepy, prowling, rapist vampire. It's believable as well since the only time he seems to focus his mind is when he spots a potential/desired victim. There was something really great about the scene he interrupts the affair; i mean here's this young, short, skinny dude and the guy having the affair is this full grown pretty big guy who could obviously crush him yet Martin doesn't flee the house when he realizes she isn't alone, he's got a fcked up goal in mind and he somehow maneuvers the situation into him achieving it. The only kinda unbelievable thing there is that both start losing consciousness at the same time and yet the guy was injected at least five minutes before her, guess their differences in size could maybe explain that though. Great scene anyway.

I saw this on wiki when i was looking for the Martin actor name:

Dang, usually i'd like the longest possible versions of films i like but nah, another hour and fifteen minutes of this couldn't have possibly been a good thing. Maybe another 20 minutes or so to his visions to give them a bit more context, not that much longer though. Anyway good film.

This was good fun. As i said i tried watching this a few years back and fell asleep during it couldn't tell you why now as i liked it a good amount this time. Not got a whole lot to say about it, just thought it was silly fun. Sam Neill and Julie Carmen are so fun in this. Wouldn't say either are good but they completely embrace the silly story/dialogue, their characters and the situation they are in is ridiculous but it feels like both are having fun with it and trying hard to turn it into something. Some of their line deliviries and actions were unintentionally funny and i think that adds greatly to the spirit of the film. Excellent ending too, definitely thought it would all work out.
