CREEP
This found footage tale by Director Patrick Brice about the mind games (and eventually more) played on a documentary filmmaker (Brice) by a sociopath (Mark Duplass) is relentlessly disturbing largely due to the creepy overacting of Duplass which totally fits the character and is part of who he is. The ending is a bit predictable but I was glued to the screen throughout. Some of the two leads interplay reminded me of the original SLEUTH.
JURASSIC WORLD
Too much CGI spoiled the soup. Perhaps the least interesting of the four Jurassic Park movies - Very little T Rex and the new genetically created dinosaur is not particularly interesting to look at compared to past Jurassic Park creatures. At least, there are Vincent D'Onofrio and BD Wong in supporting roles as villains to chew up the scenery. You could have replaced the lead actor and actress with mannequins that talk and it would not have made any difference. High point - The Mosasaur in his tank. He deserves his own movie stalking and eating bathers.
INDIGENOUS
Another found footage horror film that is a complete waste except for the pretty jungles of Panama which are the setting. The beast here is the chucapabra and it looks like the creature from THE DESCENT mixed with every tall thin movie extraterrestrial you've ever seen. Completely uninteresting in every way even the monster is derivative.
