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.

Midnight Special (2016)

Starring: Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Kristen Dunst, Sam Shepard, Adam Driver, Jaeden Lieberher
Director: Jeff Nichols

Premise:
A father goes to any lengths necessary to protect his son, who happens to possess special powers, from a cult believing he is god and the government wanting to study him.

My Take:
A engaging tale with tight direction, unexpected twists, better than average special effects, and a stellar cast. It's not a typical sci-fi flick and wont be for all audiences.

Rating: So Good

Watched: Netflix DVD
