The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Chronicle (2012)

Starring: Dan DeHaan, Alex Russell, Michael B. Jordan
Director: Josh Trank

Premise:
Three high school kids gain super telekinetic powers after finding a mysterious object buried in the ground. Each kid reacts differently to their newly found powers.

My Take:
A large chunk of the movie is filmed first person style which gets a little annoying. At the core of the story how these powers can corrupt, especially the loner kid with no friends and a bad home life. There's good special effects which helps make this an enjoyable film.

Rating: In the middle
