Dashcam. Oh boy. I thought this was going to be your run of the mill found footage shlock, and it is absolutely found footage shlock but there is something so very sick and disturbing about it. It's fast-paced, a bit too much maybe at the moment and it perfectly utilises the low budget tools it has at its disposal. I really enjoyed this one. Sadly the horror is not the main reason why the movie is being discussed, it's the main character. Probably the most unlikeable character in the history of modern horror. She certainly is interesting to say the least. Mostly, she's just a cunt.
I've been meaning to watch that. You convinced me. I mean, I don't believe that the main character can be that unlikeable, because I've watched
They/Them.
Not to be a dick but "you won't remember it six weeks from now" really doesn't seem to fit with an 8/10 rating, sounds more like 5 or 6 out of 10 with that line.
You are entirely right, the same way that
Jackass Forever isn't an actual 10/10 who deserves to be alongside the Casablancas of history. You're also entirely wrong, in the sense that it's entirely possible for a movie to be fun and reach that kind of glow when you're watching it, but as time goes by you retroactively downrate it when looked through an objective lens.
It's a really fun movie while watching it. I really meant that 8 yesterday. Today? I'd probably rate it a 7. It wasn't perfect, but I really had a good time watching it. Ask me two weeks from now, I'd say 'Yeah it was nothing special, 6/10'. Ask me two months after that, and I'll go 'Uh, let me google the name I don't remember watching tha- oh yeah, yeah, that, I guess it was alright'
It's like being on a trip with your family on the West Coast and you get your first taste of In-N-Out. It might blow your mind at how good it was, and you'll rave about it on the moment/for the next few days, but at the end of the day it's still just a fast-food joint.
