The Eyes of My Mother takes a minimal cast, an isolated single location, and innovative approaches to representing both violence and psychology to create one of the best-looking and best-actualized low-budget horror films I've seen in years.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a better franchise catalyst than it is a movie, with several competing storylines that don’t really gel or feel properly developed.
After the origin heavy lifting is taken care of that’s when Doctor Strange becomes everything I could hope for; namely, a highly imaginative action movie with a breakneck pace and a boundless sense of imagination.
All in all, I couldn't recommend this movie unless you just want to turn your brain off and watch pretty people run and jump in obviously fake environments, telling a story you already know.
Much can be forgiven if a scary movie delivers the spine-tingling goods, and standing in the shadow of one of the biggest horror hits of all time is no easy proposition.
