The Night of the Hunter is really weird





















5 second plot: A crazy mass murderer, pretending to be a preacher man, is after a stolen 10.000 dollar. The only ones who know where it is are two kids. But they promised their dad, who was sentenced to death, not to tell anyone. The killer goes nuts when they refuse to let him in on their secret.

5 second review: It's weird to watch pure evil go after two innocent little kids. It felt totally inappropriate. What I did like was the sound editing and the composition of the images. There is now way looking past the fact that this is really special. And the LOVE - HATE tattoo? Classic.

IMDb score: 8,1/10
Our score: 2/10


Diabolique takes its time to get scary





















5 second plot: An a-hole head principal has got a wife and a mistress. He treats them like garbage. They decide to kill him. They succeed but then the body disappears and strange things start to happen. Boo!

5 second review: It takes forever for the strange things to start to happen (and they're not very shocking anymore in this day and age). It’s not very plausible that an asshole like that would have a pretty wife and mistress. No way. Them French folk sure like to talk a lot. My god… they just can’t stop. It’s an interesting mystery, but before you get some answers you’ll be bored to death. Or no longer watching.
