I had to laugh as I went
to see this and the people in the cinema had taken their kids which I’d say
were 8 years or less – I’m talking like 5 year olds here, yes, it’s a 12A but
bear in mind people in Jurassic Park/World movies do GET EATEN by freaking
dinosaurs! Think people! And use a brain cell but anyway that’s on them and
their kids having nightmares for like weeks lol. Yep it’s not a movie you’d
take the real young ones too as its pretty dark and scary in parts, but if your
quite dark like me you’ll be giggling at the misfortunes as people become
dino-snacks. Well as a movie it’s pretty much what you expect, lots of CGI or
rubber dinos running riot and people being nobs. It’s got quite a lot of action
with a bit of story thrown in. If you like the Jurassic Park universe then it’s
worth a watch, maybe just don’t expect to be completely blown away.

Hereditary
(15) – what’s it about?
After the death of her mother, Annie and her family must deal with some spooky
secrets relating to their family.
I went to see this because
it’s the talk of the town, so I thought hey I’ll go scare the pants off myself
and not sleep for a week. Well…well what a disappointment, now I can like a
good horror movie (or not depending on how freaky it is lol), I’ve seen a few
over my time and maybe that’s the case because I have, I have others to compare
this too. There were a couple of scenes that were mildly jumpy and a couple
which were a bit ewww but that’s about it. I was expecting to be completely
freaked out and not be able to sleep or be completely disturbed by it, but I
just came out like yeah that was ok, passed the time I suppose. It may be freakier
if you don’t really do horror regularly but if you’re a big horror buff then
you may come out a little meh. I’m only going to give it two stars as it did
have its moments which were ok and kept me intrigued but overall it just fell
flat.
