Side Effects takes a damn long time to twist
5 second plot: A young woman is depressed and sees a psychiatrist. He prescribes her pills that make her sleepwalk. When she is sleepwalking she does the darndest things... But seriously, it gets out of hand. Big time.
5 second review: Man, this is a depressing and boring movie. For the first hour that is. Yes, I know, that's a long time. Looking back on it, I don't know how I made it until the end. But I must say, the end result is satisfying.

Bullet to the Head

Resolution is really boring
5 second plot: Michael tries to save his friend Chris from a drug addiction by locking him up in a cabin for a week. But then strange stuff starts happening and someone is leaving them clues for one reason or another.
5 second review: I only got halfway through the picture. Is this boring or what? Jesus. And very poorly made and even more poorly acted. I couldn't care less about what was going to happen. Kill them already and be done with it.
IMDb score: 6,2/10

The Following Season 1 Episode 1-7
5 second plot: A serial killer figures out a way to create a large group of 'followers'. These nut jobs will do anything he tells them to do. So he can even orchestrate his crazy plans from prison.
5 second review: Everyone I know loves this show, but I didn't connect with it. I only saw the first 7 episodes and then realized I didn't give a shit about what was going to happen. My biggest problem is the central bad guy. I don't like the way the character is set up. I'm not convinced. And by the way: this is the most wanted criminal in the country and he escapes 2 times in the first 7 episodes... Not cool.
IMDb score: 7,5/10

Mama
5 second plot: Two little girls are left alone in the woods. They are found after five years. To survive they seem to have created an imaginary mother figure. Or not. Imaginary.
