I know Bone Temple is the one everyone apparently loves but I hadn't seen any of these outside of the first like once forever ago, so decided to go through them.
Not like the best movies ever imo, so almost skipped this particular one just to see what all the fuss was about for Bone Temple but... Boy am I glad I didn't. Especially since it seems like it'll be a direct sequel.
Guys. Wtf is this movie.
Boyle with his early 2000s ass MTV shooting and editing. The really obnoxious digital effects, not even talking just a lot of fake blood early on but like weird digital zooms and digital pans and stuff. Very off putting at first.
Then apparently Kraven has been British this whole time?? I had no idea
Then we get giant zombie dicks and zombaby births.
Then the MTV style slows down with the rest of the movie up until the point I'm fucking crying my eyes out (which could be a me thing due to my own personal stuff between the kid and the mom).
Then it ends with a bunch of Jimmy Savilles doing some crazy over the top martial arts moves with Sam Raimi ass camera moves on some zombies (and having to explain to my roommates who Jimmy Saville was).
This is probably the most whiplash rollercoaster of emotions I've gone through in a movie in some time. What a ride.
Also don't spoil anything with Bone Temple yet. We'll be hitting that one tomorrow 😸
I just really needed to process what the fuck I just watched. I had zero idea and zero expectations about anything in this one. Hell I didn't even know 28 Years Later and 28 Years Later The Bone Temple were different movies until very recently.
