The Binge Watcher Review: Love in the Time of Monsters (2014)

Love in the Time of Monsters (2014)

Starring: Gena Shaw, Marissa Skell, Danny Vasquez, Michael McShane, Heather Rae Young

Synopsis:

Two sisters travel to a cheesy tourist trap where they battle toxic monsters dressed in bigfoot costumes in order to save the ones they love

The Good:

What seemed to be a low budget film was done extraordinarily well. The Cinematography was surprisingly well done, as was the Script. Even the acting was pretty solid, making this a fun movie to watch.

The Bad:

The only complaint I had for the film was at times it seemed to get long. I found I had a few spots through the middle of the film where I started to drift a little from watching. 

Final Thoughts:

The cheesiest aspect of this film had to be the kills. Its not surprising that the kills lacked the special effects which we can get used to from theater releases, its what makes the movie so charming the idea that you can laugh at such a ridiculous moment. The most surprising part for me after watching the film was how I walked away enjoying the film. The acting was actually good and the script made the movie watchable. This film has all the great qualities which is what you should expect from all horror films.

Love in the Time of Monsters is a must have for any movie night with friends, to learn about the different ways you can find this movie go to their website TBCFilms.com.

The Binge Watcher Review: Atlantic Rim (2013)

Atlantic Rim (2013)

Staring: David Chokachi, Graham Greene, Anthony ‘Treach’ Criss, Jackie Moore

Synopsis:

When giant Monsters crawl out of the Atlantic Ocean and attack the Eastern Seaboard the US Government is forced to trust a trio of mischievous soldiers, specialized in piloting gigantic robots, to defend America.

The Good:

Due to the low budget film you know what your getting. A Cheesy sci-fi action movie with questionable CGI. The most recognizable actors from the film are David Chokachi (Baywatch) and Graham Greene (Die Hard with a Vengeance), at the very least it gives the film the chance to have some actors to sell the story. The script isn’t horrible which allows the film to move with out the backyard film effect.

The Bad:

Well like most B Movies, the CGI is definitely questionable. I feel like I am watching a Playstation One Video game at best, and while the script is cheesy at best there is a reason this was a straight to video movie. 

Final Thoughts:

Atlantic Rim is from the same production company that brings you some of the more popular B Movies such as Sharknado and the Three Headed Shark Attack. So it brings some credibility as far as B Movies go. Atlantic Rim definitely works as “Its so Bad Its good” type of film. Thanks to Hulu you can watch this movie any time you like. My suggestion start a weekly Bad Movie night with some friends and make sure you have some beer. Just don’t waste the good stuff on this film, make it a Pabst Blue Ribbon.

I give Atlantic Rim One Thumbs up, cause its just that bad its funny. Check out the film and let us know your thoughts below.
