Swiss Army Man: 2016

   This film was unique and was not afraid to take risks. The water scenes grossed me out the most and could have been left out, particularly when Manny was puking water in Hank’s mouth. I liked that the film was not in the horror genre and not scary at all, more gross. This film had me questioning was Manny alive or a projection of Hanks depressions. This film is an original plot and something I have not seen before. The main theme in my opinion is about depression. Hank being so far away but yet so close.

Get Out: 2017

    Because of the horror genre, I truly disliked this film. I despise being terrified. However, the movie was well-made. There was foreshadowing, and the acting and plot were both solid It is a more thought-provoking film than others I've seen. Get Out expertly induces a sense of dread and unease through the use of psychological fear and suspense. The film succeeds in being eerie while still containing dark humor.     However, the ending was satisfying. Chris reminded me of John Wick taking out enemies. Seeing the evildoers brought to justice felt good. The film had an original plot which was refreshing. The nose bleeding scene reminded me of Eleven in Stranger Things. It featured an original story that I had never seen before and touched upon racial injustice a lot. In my perspective, the film is a 7/10. I would have given it a higher rating if it had been less scary. Image Source:  http://buytheway.ascjclass.org/get-out-get-in-to-the-marketing-for-this-m...
