Movie Reviews of Fallen (Snap Case Packaging)
Movie Review: RARE IN THIS GENRE....INTELLIGENT
Summary: 5 Stars
Accept the premise that an ancient and truly evil spirit with only mischief on its mind can occupy and animate normal folks and it doesn't get any better than this film.
I recently caught this movie on TV again and each time I see it, I marvel at how underrated it has been. It has an absolutely top-notch cast. It has an unique and very imaginative plot. It is extremely scary and most attractively---what rarely goes with supernatural films---intelligence and logic. One of my tests of quality is always the value of rewatching a film. This one is worth a look every couple of years.
One last, rather unlikely, titbit to remind viewers of. Denzel Washington plainly likes playing the role of a cop in his films, but this is one of at least three SF/horror films he's made in which he plays a cop. Doesn't seem much like his genre, but he evidently recognizes quality in a fantastic yarn when he sees it. I recommend, from that trio, Deja Vu as well.
Movie Review: Overlooked masterpiece...
Summary: 5 Stars
As this film began, I was certain it was a film by David Fincher. The titles, music and approach are quite similar. Well, Director Gregory Hoblit created an atmosphere that was not only weird, but incredibly compelling. Don't blink for a minute. (Hoblit later made the wonderful "Primal Fear") Denzel is his usual confident self, learning, along with the viewer, the strange develoments. Embeth Davitz is quite fine, and there's also the talents of James Gandolfini and John Goodman. Once again, Donald Sutherland gives a brilliant performance. (Why do the Oscars ignore him...?). Elias Koteas, sadly ignored by critics and award committees, is again flawless. (Remember "Some Kind of Wonderful", "Apt Pupil", "The Thin Red Line", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", etc. ?) "Fallen" is a very scary film, which gains momentum with every frame. Creepy movies don't get much better.Movie Review: sympathy for the devil
Summary: 5 Stars
a terrifying film that keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering who's got the evil in 'em! There's plenty to enjoy here: Satanic scriptures and ancient languages; superb lead acting; hauntingly gorgeous and talented supporting actress...I could go on and on. I didn't even mention how good and convincing Donald Sutherland is.
I am normally not a big fan of Denzel and the roles he chooses; but he's great in this film. It reminds me a little of Sandra Bullock, who has been in so many duds before landing the role in Crash. This is a stand out role for a man not associated with "horror."
This is sure to be a classic in the realm of thriller/suspense/horror. It is exciting, mesmerizing and full of suspense!
Movie Review: A Demonic Thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
Fallen is a horror movie, starring Denzel Washington and John Goodman. The movie is a story about a demon named, "Azazel," whom possesses human beings, moving from one human host to another. Azazel ends up stalking police detective John Hobbs (Denzel Washington), whom at first was occupying the body of a man whom is believed to be a serial killer. Hobbs catches him and is present during his execution, but after the serial killer died; Azazel moved to another human being and began pursuing him.Hobbs at first, does not know what's going on, but finds out that his stalker is Azazel and tries to find a way to kill the demon.
Fallen is a great movie for those looking for a suspenseful and demonic thrill ride!
Movie Review: Good Movie, But......
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie itself was pretty good, but sometime after watching it I thought of one major plot flaw. This spirit is supposed to be able to go from person to person by a mere brush against them right? Yet the opening scene they are talking to the serial killer in jail. And when they took him to the gas chamber he walked back to say goodby to the others on death row as though he got to know them from sitting on death row. So if he had this ability to move through people so easily then why would he spend many months sitting in jail in the body of the guy he turned into a serial killer?
Other than that flaw I thought it was a good entertaining movie.
