House on Haunted Hill (1959)- I enjoyed this, but somehow it did not feel complete, not even sure there were any ghosts, even with the insistence by one of the characters that the house was full of ghosts. I’ll say the remake was better, at least from the ghost aspect. Exterior filmed at a Frank Lloyd House (Ennis House, LA).
Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025)- If this is meant to be a reboot of the franchise, ehh. Ok, but it just feels too calculated and unlikely of a story, or maybe I’m no longer impressed with just dinosaurs eating people and am a bit jaded. The plot needs something creative beyond what’s been done before. Not unlike me an Aliens, why I’m really blah now about most of the last Aliens chapters, and why in contrast I did like Alien Earth, something different and new.
Frankenstein (2025)- Seems well produced, but I hate this version of Frankenstein as an un-dieing super monster, a story that plays fast and lose with what science is plausibly capable of, versus delving into pretty hardcore supernatural. I prefer the sympathetic abomination.
Disclaimer: Did not finish, so not only I may have missed something, but my impression might be skewed. Sometimes remakes run too far away from the irigbstory, and viewers vested in the original story might have difficulty accepting.
