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.

Nightcrawler (2014)

Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo, Bill Paxton
Director: Dan Gilroy

Premise:
A disturbed young man enters the world of crime journalism. Soon he starts stretching the lines of recording incidences to staging the scenes once he arrives in order to make the story look more gruesome.

My Take:
The movie had me riveted from the opening. Forces the viewer to think about what is morally acceptable in the world of journalism and how it is reported. As usual, Gyllenhaal shines as the main character who is a tad more than unstable.

Rating: So Good

Watched: Netflix DVD
