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.

Colossal (2016)

Starring: Anne Hathaway, Jason Sudeikis, Tim Blake Nelson, Austin Stowell, Dan Stevens
Director: Nacho Vigalondo

Premise:
A 30 something, down on her luck, party girl gets dumped and moves back to her hometown. A giant creature shows up in the middle of Seoul destroying things. The girl slowly figures out that she is connected to the creature.

My Take:
The movie melds numerous genres together (romance, comedy, sci fi, drama, thriller) into one with slick and twisted turn for the third act. A great cast makes it all seem plausible.

Rating: So Good

Watched: Hulu
