Bloat... a film review

🍿 Bloat (2025)

Tedious. Annoying. Unless you have some unnatural fondness for the very particular sub-sub-genre of horror known as “screen life”, which itself is a derivative of the mostly frustrating found footage sub-genre, then you will not like this film. I could barely get through ten minutes.

Conclusion: Don’t bother.

Editor’s Note: I’ve decided this is not the format for me, so I’m reposting this in my preferred format. It’s the exact same text, so if you’ve read this, you don’t need to see the other. It’s literally just a different format. -TKN

I can’t agree with @kotaku.com about most on this list. #Disney #liveaction adaptations are mostly wretched & soulless, aside from #2 The Jungle Book and #1 Pete’s Dragon, both from 2016. Lilo & Stitch might get on my list, though. #film kotaku.com/disney-li…

Like sociopaths testing the boundaries of society (sound familiar?), #streaming services keep raising rates to see how far they can stretch consumers, and they’re doing it again. We’re starting to get tired of this, and considering dropping a few. #capitalism #pricegouging www.theverge.com/23901586/…

Denis Kitchen should be mentioned alongside #comicbook avant-garde guerrillas like Crumb, Spiegelman, and Eisner. He created the #CBLDF and published #Gay Comix. He fought for the artistic expression of the oppressed and marginalized. Now a #documentary is on the way. boingboing.net/2025/02/2…

Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie will be hitting theaters on April 25th. Check out the trailer. It looks great! #movies #comedy #documentary www.youtube.com/watch

In #entertainment news, #Amazon now has complete creative control over the James Bond property. Amazon bought MGM & wanted to create a James Bond Cinematic Universe, and Barbara Broccoli hated it. She lost. #enshittification #movies #007 www.polygon.com/news/5263…

Watched “Don’t Let Go” on Netflix this weekend starring David Oyelowo and Storm Reid and directed by Jacob Aaron Estes and am shocked to discover that it was made for $5M. Amazing film and well worth your time. #film #movies #netflix #scifi www.slashfilm.com/1793113/s…

The first #trailer for #Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps has dropped. Previous outings have run the gamut from disastrous to not terrible. Very kitschy as it jumps back to the era of the first #comics. We’ll see, I guess. #movies www.youtube.com/watch

Auto-generated description: A film poster for Nosferatu, directed by Robert Eggers, featuring text about the movie's plot, cast, and viewer rating options.

Without question, a well directed and shot film with solid performances by most of the cast, they should have leaned hard on the “psychological horror” instead of just “horror”. I may be jaded, but I didn’t find it frightening. Dafoe is always a pleasure, though. #film #movies #reviews
