I know many critics and naysayers have likened it to Suspicion and Gaslight, which are not unfair comparisons. Many say that Stanwyck gave a distracted performance and Bogart's was over the top. I concede the merit in those arguments, but nonetheless, it remains one of my absolute favorite classic movies. While it's not much of a mystery since his intent is fairly obvious from the outset, the atmosphere and build up make up for any deficits, in my opinion. Bogart may be over the top, but his performance is menacing and creepy, and I'm terrified of him right away. It put me in mind of another great vehicle of his, Conflict, which I also recommend. The only downside for me was the daughter. Her extremely articulate and overblown adult caricature is overblown and somewhat creepy. I thought the picture could have done without her entirely. Great atmosphere, amazing setting, wonderful... Albeit predictable... build-up, and just a really fun film. I watch this movie a couple times a year. Go in with baseline expectations and you'll probably be pleasantly surprised.

If you're a fan of the horror genre, you're no stranger to downright horrible movies. However, this one hit a new low. It was one of the most drawn out, boring, just plain awful movies I have ever sat through. I know there are bad movies that you can enjoy. If you like horror movies, you probably like some bad ones because they're fun or campy or nostalgic. Trust me, skip this one. I'm completely amazed anyone gave this a good review. I'm fairly easily entertained and this was a huge snoozefest. I can't believe they're actually discussing a sequel. I'll take a hard pass on that one.

Bring back Neve Campbell. The original was awesome... This one sucked overall. So obvious who killers were. Lost charm of original. I waited until this one came out.... Refuse to pay without Sydney's character.

In my opinion, the movie was a giant disappointment. Slow moving and disjointed, with a weak plot. The character of OJ is maddeningly slow and seems somewhat dimwitted. His sister is aggravating and over the top. They grew up on a ranch so I'm unsure why they're having her act so urban.... Surprisingly, it seems like they're playing into stereotypes. I really enjoyed Get Out, but I had trouble hanging in for this one. The first hour was interminable. It lacks suspense, and I'm glad I didn't waste money seeing it in theaters.

I see why the 1944 version is the gold standard. I thought the acting was wooden and I did not like the way they set up the entire storyline. In my opinion, the 1944 version is vastly superior in every way. I had high hopes for the movie, but I was already disappointed the first half hour. In my opinion, it went downhill from there. It lacked the subtlety and build up of the predecessor. It's worth watching, but I was very surprised to read that other people preferred it.

The first 20 minutes aren't that bad. I had sympathy for the mother and the daughter. They could have gone somewhere with it, but instead it becomes a giant mishmash of horror movie cliches all thrown together. The idea of a snake demon isn't even kind of scary. Had I known that was the premise, I would never have watched it in the first place. The camera angles are awful to watch. I hate found footage movies, but again at first it didn't seem that bad. After an hour, I felt too invested to stop watching, but it felt like it was the longest movie in history. Several people had recommended it on Facebook, and this is why it's hard to love horror movies. You have to go through a lot of weeds to find a gem. That's definitely is not a gem.

News like yours is not news at all. I can see why it's categorized under entertainment. This is exactly why I trust NPR. I have both liberal and conservative leanings and I don't need you to do my thinking for me. I actually dislike President Trump very strongly, but I still think a news source should be objective. The man has coronavirus, and I understand that he has not exactly been a leader in the field of empathy and compassion. Again, I'm not a fan but I do feel that the White House has done an adequate job keeping the American public updated on his condition. It's an unfair attack. Whatever happened to objectivity? I won't be watching your news anymore.

I personally feel that Saturday Night Fever is one of the most overrated movies ever. The sequel is one of the most underrated. The dancing is fantastic and it's just a feel-good movie. Great casting. Wonderful glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of Broadway dancers. It's not a movie of substantial weight, but it's so fun to watch. Great soundtrack with the legendary Bee gees. Highly recommend!

It's a very enjoyable series that my family loves to watch together... Amazing scenery, mostly good acting.... Though the mom is zany. However, for smart characters they make very poor choices and stupid decisions....WHY did no one use the music box against Sam???? The characters overlook obvious solutions for getting out of situations by ignoring what intelligent people would do in those scenarios. The writers need to limit or explain away options... It's hard to support smart kids acting dumb. Still, we are looking forward to next season. Great house and fun characters. Sort of like Harry Potter.... If they close the obvious holes in the story, they will have good series.
