It literally gave me goosebumps afterwards. The whole concept of the film is so good. If you guys have any suggestions on movies that are similar to this one, I’ll definitely check them out.

That movie is kind of unique, so I’m not sure what similar movies you might be looking for - but the Illusionist with Ed Norton is another period piece focusing on magic.
 
Any movie that falls under that suspenseful/thriller would be great, I’ve recently watched ex machina, prisoners, and now the prestige. I’ve realized what kind of movies I’m really into during this whole quarantine :lol:
 
The hat scene in the beginning ruined it for me.

Might need to watch again but The Prestige was underwhelming to me.

Facts! I really thought Frank was in the clear.

And I had no idea about his sexuality. Dude lived such a secret life.

Not once did I feel bad for Pam & her fam. Granted she only got caught because of her idiot son but still.... she had it coming to her eventually. Or did she?

Just listened to the podcast (in my spoiler) and it's an interview with the real Frank.

He said 40% of the film is real....
 
Is Wild Things an actual good movie? Only watched the important parts as a kid. Has a decent score on RT. Higher than I expected anyways.

“Good” might be a little strong, but’s it’s ok. Worth a watch all the way through once.
 
Bored at work. Read the wiki summary for Wild Things 2 and it's...interesting.

:lol: @ killed to death.

Brittney Havers, a South Florida high school senior, lives with her wealthy stepfather, Niles Dunlap, after her mother ran her car off the road in "Gator Alley" and was presumably eaten by alligators a year earlier. When Dunlap is killed in a private plane crash, his will calls for Brittney to receive a small stipend until she finishes college, after which she will receive only $25,000 a year for life from the estate. The rest of Dunlap's assets, totaling $70 million, are to be left to a corporate trust, unless a blood heir can be found.

Brittney's brash, relatively poor classmate Maya King suddenly claims to be Dunlap's illegitimate daughter as the result of her mother's extramarital affair. She is ordered by a judge to submit to a DNA test, the result of which proves she is Dunlap's child.

At the Dunlap home, Brittney hears a noise on her way to the wine cellar but it turns out to just be rats. Suddenly Maya appears and the girls reveal they are lovers before being joined by Dr. Julian Haynes, who had arranged the DNA test. The trio are in cahoots, running a scam to secure and share Dunlap's fortune.

Insurance investigator Terence Bridge, investigating the circumstances of the plane crash, finds out from Dunlap's medical records that Dunlap had scarlet fever as a child, one of the side effects of which can be sterility, and asks Dr. Haynes how Dunlap could have fathered a child. Dr. Haynes gets nervous about the plot unraveling and contacts Maya. He agrees to meet her and Brittney that night at the docks, where Maya shoots him. The two girls dispose of his body in Gator Alley.

After Bridge learns the entire affair was planned, he shows up at the Dunlap home and demands half the money in return for not going to the police. Brittney, refusing to give up any of the money, gets a gun and points it at Bridge, but instead kills Maya to death. She tells Bridge that he has to earn his half. He loads Maya's body into the trunk of his car and he and Brittney drive off to dispose of it.

When they stop at a traffic light, Brittney gets out of the car and walks away as a police car pulls up behind them. Bridge can do nothing but drive away when the traffic light turns green and the police car honks at him to get moving. Brittney phones in an anonymous tip that Bridge's car trunk has Maya's body in it. He is soon arrested and jailed. A videotape from the Dunlap home security system shows Bridge demanding half of the inheritance money from Brittney and Maya.

Later, Brittney flies off in a private plane with the very much alive Dunlap, who had faked his own death to escape prosecution for misappropriating millions of dollars of corporate funds to pay his gambling debts, and also to avoid the Cuban gambler, Cicatriz to whom he still owed millions. Brittney and Dunlap don parachutes, planning to bail out over swampland and disappear together. As Dunlap is poised to bail out, Brittney reveals that she packed his chute with newspaper and pushes him from the plane to his death. She then bails out, landing safely in the swamp, where her mother, also very much alive, is waiting for her in a swamp boat.

It is revealed that Brittney and her mother orchestrated everything, including the deaths of Brittney's co-conspirators, in order to steal Dunlap's fortune, and they relax in the sun on a tropical island. Brittney comes down the stairs of their villa overlooking the ocean with two drinks and hands one to her mother. As Brittney watches intently, her mother takes a sip and remarks that the drink is strong. Brittney replies "They do make them strong here, don't they?" with a wry smile, the implication being that she has poisoned the drink.

I mean......I kinna wanna watch this..... :lol:

Prime Denise was ridiculous, but having Neve look terrible ruined it for me. They should have had her as Scream Neve and that scene would have been much better.
