Monstober: Days 8 - 10
Odd Thomas
Krishelle was really pushing for me to see this one. First of all, the acting in this movie is great. Very enjoyable. It's about a guy with the power to see ghosts and help them avenge their murderers. It involves mass shootings and bombing a crowded mall, so not anything that would be made nowadays, but it really was a well made movie. Grade: B
The Park
My theory is that the filmmakers found this abandoned theme park and said, "This would be a great place to film a horror movie." So they had to come up with a story to fit it. What they came up with was a world where anyone who hits puberty dies, so the world is only survived by children. There are definitely some 'Lord of the Flies' stuff going on, but the movie ends on a positive note (which is always unexpected in post-apocalyptic movies). Grade: C
