Split (2017) Movie Review

Hey guys, LokoReviews here and I just got done watching Split and here is my full blog review of it.

Now Split is a new horror movie produced by Blumhouse and M. Night Shyamalan, who also produced, written, and directed the film. The film is basically about this man who have these personality disorder and one of his many personalities kidnap these 3 teenage girls and keep them as hostages to prepare them for something truly evil.

Now when I saw the trailer for this film, I was really intrigued. The concept looked interesting and it could be a fun and thrilling film to watch. Also this film got a cast full of people that made films I liked from every actor/actress in it.

James Mcavoy is the main star and I loved him in the latest X-Men movies as the young Professor X.

This film also stars Anya Taylor-Joy who was in the excellent and pretty overlooked horror film The Witch. Also she was the main character in last year film Morgan, which was a decent film.

This film also got supporting roles from Betty Buckley who was in the classic Carrie film from 1976. Haley Lu Richardson who was in my favorite film from last year The Edge Of Seventeen. And Jessica Sula who was in the film Honeytrap and the British TV show Skins.

So knowing that the film was going to have a talented cast and a intriguing premise, I was definitely on board until I found out it was produced by both Blumhouse productions and M. Night Shyamalan, who also written and directed the film. Now I have nothing against either Blumhouse or M. Night Shyamalan and they made films I did like from, especially their collaboration on the 2015 horror film The Visit. But they made films that weren't good and are kinda known for making shit films. So knowing that Blumhouse and M. Night were producing this film, I was kinda worried that it wasn't going to be good.

BUT after seeing it, Split is actually a pretty decent film and one of the most different films I ever seen from both Blumhouse and M. Night himself. Now I'm not going to say that this is a groundbreaking movie, because it does have a few issues. But I did find enjoyment watching it and there were good parts in it that I'm going to discuss and not spoiler anything at all.

The best part and character of this film is James Mcavoy who play these different characters from a guy who has Personality Disorder. I got to say, he definitely blew me away with his performance. He was creepy, he was funny, and I truly believed that all these characters that he playing in this film are truly different people inside this 1 human being. James Mcavoy definitely did an amazing job with his performance and I can't wait to see him in more films.

Anya Taylor-Joy was also good in the film and the back story of the character she played was truly haunting which made me feel sorry for her.

Another thing I liked in this film is the way it was shot. Every shot in this film is great to look at and it also has this claustrophobic vibe that helped make this film even more creepier and unsettling.

The last positive thing I have to say is that the film sometimes know how to flow both Horror and Comedy in without being too forced or out of place. And the film kinda succeeded with that.

Now even though, there were some parts in this film I did like and appreciate, there were other parts I wasn't really feeling.

The first thing I wasn't feeling were the supporting actresses. Now don't get me wrong, they weren't bad in the film and they tried their best on here. But they didn't really contributed a whole lot. Betty Buckley's character did contribute a little by trying to get answers from James Mcavoy's character, but they gave out too much exposition and it made the movie feel really slow. As for the teenage girls that isn't Anya Taylor-Joy, they tried their best but they weren't that interesting as characters and I didn't really care too much about them in the film. 

Another negative I have is that there were a lot of slow and awkward scenes. I already mentioned that some of the scenes with Betty Buckley did drag on for too long and didn't really need all that exposition. Also I already that this film does try to add comedy here and there and even though some of them did work, most of them felt really awkward and I didn't find it funny. 

The last problem I have with this movie and this is the main one and that is the ending of the film. Now don't get me wrong, it's not a bad ending and there were some parts of it I did like and appreciated. But the way it ended felt like it was building to something amazing and it was 75% there. But the other 25% was just a eye squinting and kinda face palm moment. 

But overall, I really did enjoy Split despite the problems I have with it. It is definitely one of the most interesting and strangest films I saw so far this year and I recommend that you guys watch it. Also I have to give major props to both Blumhouse and M. Night Shyamalan for making something different and they definitely did a solid job. Overall, Split is a decent film and I'm definitely going to watch it again to see if it will grow on me even more.

And that's it for my review of Split. I know that this is kinda a long one, but I had a lot to say about this film. But anyway, thank you for tuning in and let me know what you think about Split. So this is James Kaloko and everybody in the world just stay loco, PEACE!!!

The Bye Bye Man Review

 

Hey guys LokoReviews here and I got a question to ask you?

Have you ever seen a movie that is so awful, so badly acted, so stupid, so cliche, and so everything wrong with it that you can't help but laugh at how bad it is?

Well, that's how I felt when I saw The Bye Bye Man.

For the people who never heard of this film, The Bye Bye Man is a recent Horror that came out this week in January. The concept of this film is basically about these College students that move into a old house where one of the characters finds out about The Bye Bye Man. Basically, if you say or think about his name, then he possesses you to do bad things to other people and then you die. But if you don't say or think his name, then you live.

Now I first saw the trailer for The Bye Bye Man, I knew it was going to be bad. But it did have a somewhat cool concept, even though it's basically an urban legend story like Slenderman. And the title "The Bye Bye Man" is somewhat interesting as well, but it's really stupid and generic. Like this movie could have been called "The Scary Looking Man" and it wouldn't have made any difference.

But I decided to go see The Bye Bye Man in theaters and like I said during the intro of this review, this movie is just straight up awful. Like every element in this film is so terrible that you can't help but rant on every little detail in it. Now for this review and the sack of time yours and my time, I'm going to give out my MAIN problems with this film. Then I'm going to list off the little other details that made this film so awful because trust me... THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS WROOOOOOOOOONG IN THIS FILM.

The first main problem I have with The Bye Bye Man is the characters. None of the characters in this film besides The Bye Bye Man are interesting. Heck, I didn't give two shits about any of these characters.

The main character played by Douglass Smith who also was in the awful 2014 horror movie "Ouija" was just an uninteresting and cliche character. His character is basically the guy who first knows the name of The Bye Bye Man and he starts going insane that The Bye Bye Man is going to get him & he is worried that his girlfriend might be cheating on him with his best friend. Honestly, I couldn't care less about this character and the acting was really bad and it even got over the top at the end of the movie. 

Speaking of the main character's girlfriend and best friend, they're also awful. The acting from The Girlfriend character is so awful that it literally sounds and even looks like she was on drugs. I get in the movie that she's supposed to be sick throughout because knowing about The Bye Bye Man makes you sick all of a sudden.

As for the main character's best friend, he was awful as well. There's nothing special or memorable about him other than he has Abs and the main character thinks he is cheating with his girlfriend, that's basically all you need to know about this character. Also for a best friend character, I never felt any bond with him and the main character. Same goes for the Girlfriend, like I never felt a moment where I actually believed the Main Character and her were meant for each other. No bond, no chemistry, just your standard horror movie couple.

Now the last character I want to talk about before I move on is this chick and to be honest, she was the closest character besides The Bye Bye Man where I actually started to care. The reason why I was so close of caring for this character because she's a psychic who can read minds and know what's about to happen. I know that's not the most original character, but for an awful film like this, she was the closest of making things interesting. BUT just like the rest of the characters, she turned out to be awful and really REALLY idiotic. Like there's literally one scene (which I'm not going to spoil) where this character does the dumbest thing ever that got her killed and I didn't feel bad for her at all when it did happen. 

Another problem I have with this film is that it's not scary at all. Like I'm not even joking, there's legitimately no scares to be found in this movie. And when there is scares, it is usually a jumpscare or a loud noise or the Bye Bye Man creeping at the corner or the basic noise happening around the house and the characters have to walk around and investigate. Like none of these things I just mentioned scared me at all. Heck, I just face palmed myself and laughed when those scares actually happened. Also the way that they build up to the scares are so obvious that you notice them when a certain character just says a word or does something, like it's honestly pathetic when you think about it.

And the last and MAJOR problem I have with this movie is that it heavily copies from other horror films and even some urban legends. Like this film copies from movies like The Candyman, Darkness Falls, The Ring, A Nightmare On Elm Street, and etc. And it even copies from urban legends like Slenderman and Bloody Mary. NOTHING in this film is original and you can clearly tell that they weren't trying to be original. Heck, they even have horror movie cliches like a character searching what this supernatural being is and the visiting an expert who knows about this phenomenon cliche. 

Like I said, the only good thing about this film is The Bye Bye Man himself. 

I'm not going to lie, I do like the way that he looks and the urban legend about this character is somewhat interesting. But even he isn't all that great of a character because they don't really explain a lot about this character. Like they don't explain how The Bye Bye Man became The Bye Bye Man to begin with, how he can possess people and trick their minds, where he even came from, why all these Train imagery keep on appearing when he's around, why he uses coins to lore people into his trap, and why he has a red and badly CGI DOGGO as his pet. They don't explain anything about The Bye Bye Man other than he kills people when they say his name. Heck, they don't even explain why he even kills people when they say The Bye Bye Man. So many questions and zero answers to be found in this film. YOU KNOW WHAT... I'm done with this film.

Overall, The Bye Bye Man is a really awful movie. Nothing about this film works. The characters are bad, the scares are non-existent, the acting is bad, and just everything is bad. The only positive thing I can give this film is that there are some hilariously awful moments and the concept about The Bye Bye Man is somewhat interesting, but the execution just fails. Also knowing that the same movie company that made my favorite movie from last year "The Edge Of Seventeen" also made this shitty movie is just a huge disappointment.

Overall, don't see The Bye Bye Man. It's just an awful film. But if you're actually interested, then there is a chance where you might have a good time watching it because there is so many hilariously awful moments in this film to make fun of. But just in general, don't see The Bye Bye Man and just don't say it or think it like you would if The Bye Bye Man was real. 

I have to give this film an 0.5/5.

Well, that's my review of The Bye Bye Man. I doubt that anyone but me saw this, so I'm not going to ask what you thought about the film. But I just hope you enjoyed this review because I tried my hardest to not make this super long and ramble on how awful this movie is. But thank you for tuning in and I'll see you guys later. So this is James Kaloko and everybody in the world just stay loco, BYE BYE!!! ;)
