Tim Burton really crapped the bed and ruined Beetlejuuce. The story was boring, the characters were boring, and the attempted cheap laughs and one-liners weren't even funny. How the heck he got Michael Keaton to sign on the dotted line if such a crap script is beyond me. I'd leave zero stars if it was possible. If you enjoyed the original film, spare yourself and your wallet and avoid this movie like the after life.

This was my first watch of Amy of the films, and I enjoyed the format. I was expecting the stories to be relatively unrelated, but I really appreciate how they looped back to connect with other stories in the film. I guess I need to check out the rest of the series. Stay tuned!

I recently watched V/H/S 85 and was intrigued by how the stories were interconnected. This prompted me to watch the original V/H/S, which was quite different from 85. The stories felt lackluster and predictable. This might be right up your alley if you enjoy excessive gore and nudity. However, it seems like the film is geared towards a younger male audience with a short attention span.

Boring, predictable, I can’t believe these films are still being made.

Overrated and lame ending. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're bored and need a nap.

Jake Gyllenhaal delivers a compelling solo performance that offers deep insights into human fallibility. The narrative explores the capacity of individuals to take responsibility for their mistakes and misguided assumptions despite their imperfections and guilt.

I had high hopes for this film, expecting it to deviate from predictable patterns since it was recommended as being similar to "You'll Never Find Me," which was a spectacular mind-bending experience. However, "Double Blind" turned out to be a conventional modern horror movie, with little character chemistry and relying heavily on blood and gore without offering much else.

It was utterly boring. I have to stop giving movies with no-name actors a shot. I've watched too many low-grade movies with linear stories, no character development, and the overuse of dark lighting to hide bad practical effects. I had to make a cup of coffee to keep from falling asleep.

For years, I had avoided watching this film because I believed it was based on actual events. However, I stumbled upon a documentary that explored the cultural impact, longevity, and worldwide phenomenon of the myth and lore surrounding the story. After realizing it was fiction, I decided to watch the original and the entire series of films. Admittedly, I went into the movie with low expectations about the special effects and put that aside so I could enjoy the story and nostalgia of a film that was so popular in the 70s. Overall, the film was good. However, I think the filmmakers could have done better regarding the origin story of the demon. I found it confusing that discovering an artifact with no tale would lead to an exorcism in the United States halfway around the world. Linda Blair’s performance was exceptional! Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the rest of the cast. As a former stage manager, it seemed to me that a lot of the acting came across as mechanical. A more organic approach would have vastly improved the film overall. Perhaps that's directorial choice given it applied to so many of the actors, I just don't know. Despite these issues, I'm giving this film three stars. Although I don't know if they intended to make a sequel, I can fully appreciate why this film was such a blockbuster in its time, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of the story unfolds. I hope that we learn a little bit about Father Merrin’s death and where the evil entity went after presumably exiting his deceased body. It was left ambiguous, and as a horror fan, I appreciate that.

Fascinating but be prepared for a very slow film. It’s dream-like atmosphere can lull one to sleep yet being so invested in the characters, you’ll have to watch until the end. I really wish we could have seen the rebirth of their lives and that of their child who should be named Hanuš.
