Rotten Tomatoes, home of the Tomatometer, is the most trusted measurement of quality for Movies & TV. This downbeat Welsh drama is set in a mining town that's been crushed by an economic collapse. Sid (Steven MacKintosh), Gwenny (Lisa Palfrey), and Boyo (Matthew Rhys) are three grown siblings who.
This is very much the Hollywood version, with Oscar-winning actresses, sad violins on the score signaling serious drama, and a gorgeous setting, the English shore standing in for Connecticut. It involves primarily the man, his wife, his daughter, the older woman who runs his household and his mother-in-law. Within this closed system, the husband exercises his will, buying his power because of money and the enabling of the women.
I have seen so many films that were sleepwalking through the debris of old plots and second-hand ideas that it was a constant pleasure to watch "House of Games," a movie about con men that succeeds not only in conning the audience, but also in creating a series of characters who seem imprisoned by the need to con, or be conned. The House review - Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler lose the bet The comic talents of Ferrell and Poehler are wasted in this frat farce which, despite a promising premise, soon resembles reheated. Parents need to know that Max Winslow and the House of Secrets is a Willy Wonka-meets-Elon Musk escape room-style mystery about teens who must outsmart a "smart" house. The house gets more malevolent as the story proceeds, and some menacing/perilous moments imply that something really bad is about to happen -- so much so that at times it feels like a horror movie for kids. Parents need to know that The House is an over-the-top comedy built around an iffy premise: Parents (Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler) start an illegal casino to pay for their daughter's college. There's more violence than you'd expect: Limbs and digits are chopped off, with spouting blood that goes everywhere.

By choosing to set the film in a desolate beach town empty before the proper season starts, he goes a long way in injecting a sense of dread into the movie before the story really kicks in.
The promise of a fun, Halloween-set haunted house movie is quickly dashed by a batch of weak, thinly drawn characters, poor decisions, and a preoccupation with torture. Haunt is more Saw than scary. Written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods -- who originally wrote the clever, terrifying A Quiet Place -- Haunt has more in common with. After all, he served an apprenticeship with master of the macabre, Brian DePalma, and if Rosman's debut is a bit ragged in its bloodlines, it does as credible a job of exploring.
