I recently watched Demonlover and it was the best film I've seen in a long time, would 100% recommend everyone watch. After finishing the film I was curious to see what critics thought about it and was shocked that neither they nor audiences enjoyed it.
There's a lot of great films with poor critic scores (eg. Con Air, Stepbrothers) but it's very rare that the audience score doesn't contradict it. The others I can think of are Only God Forgives and Alien 3 which I love and Neon Demon which I also really liked. I can understand with them why lots of people dislike them, the Demonlover hate is just baffling to me though.
Also the RT description and poster for Demonlover is so bad lol
Just remembered Universal: Soldier Day of Reckoning which has absolutely no right to be a great action film but somehow is brilliant
Monkeybone was pretty cool too
I'm actually remembering loads now

You've grown out of it. Most of it falls flat now, a couple of gags excepted. Still watchable compared to Austin Powers though, the other beloved childhood comedy.

This movie pretty goofy its part of amityville series where the movies became about cursed objects from the house taking over other houses. A chick has s*x with her reflection. The clock like turns the house into a giant clock. The Amityville dollhouse one is also pretty crazy
Rember in the late 90s early 00s when every horror movie was edited like an MTV music video and just had endless batshit effects
Roger Ebert said that if feardotcom.com came out in the 20s in germany we'd be singing its praises as an expressionist masterpiece. Its a clone of the old japanese ring with y2k internet stuff its pretty werid
Under the Silver Lake is a pretty baffling one since its an incredible film on all fronts: acting, wrting, cinemetography, story, themes ect. I could understand audeinces not resonating with a schizo conspiracy psychological thriller but you think modern critics would latch on to it. Its a psychological thrilelr about a literally me g*mer incel who dives into underbelly of hollwoods elite looking for a missing girl he thought was cute. It frequently crosses genres and the songwriter scene is probably one of the most redpilled ever put to screen since Network and The Prisoner. Maybe thats why critics didnt like it

Refn and Gosling's next film after Drive. He plays the son of a drug lord in Bangkok whose brother gets killed and is dragged into trying to get revenge. It's much slower than Drive so people who went in expecting another Drive hated it when it came out. Even at Cannes it got a similar love/hate reception

That's actually one of the scariest movie moments I've seen that mindfricked me. Not any of the death scenes, but when she explains that the cubes are some insane loop of governments and corporations contracting out their creation to each other where no one knows where or how it started. I think the movie was going for some boring implication of a bigger secret evil organization, but to me it just sounded almost lovecraftian or like there was no meaning, no real origin, which is scarier.
Just one contracting company wants to test razor wire who contracts a company to build cubes who need a government's permission who need to dispose of political prisoners who one government organization needs to test this thing and contracts another company that involves another government, till it's an insane bureaucratic force that's just building a bigger and better murder cube maze for decades and trapping people inside and nobody knows why or how.

On IMDb, I was known for being exceptionally contrarian, often giving negative reviews to universally revered films like The Godfather and Bicycle Thieves (I was particularly known for how much I hated the movie Fargo). One could compare me to Armond White in that respect, but the main difference between him and I is that Armond White would not only trash critically acclaimed films, but would also name something like Paul Blart: Mall Cop as the best movie of the year. There are tons and tons of highly acclaimed films that I didn't like, but there are no universally panned films that I loved.
The only time I ever gave the thumbs-up to a universally panned film (I gave it 6/10, which just barely qualifies as a thumbs-up) was the 1991 film Closet Land. The only film to ever get an R rating "for psychological torture", the film was made as a political statement against torture (the director's husband worked for Amnesty International). It's a 2-character drama that consists entirely of a children's book author (played by Madeleine Stowe) being interrogated by a totalitarian government goon for allegedly inserting clandestine anti-government messages into her books (it's eventually revealed that the interrogator molested the author when she was a child as well). The film's biggest problem is that it's just so incredibly over-the-top and theatrical, with the elaborate set pieces and overly dramatic acting style detracting significantly from its power. In order to be effective as a statement against torture, you need grueling, brutal realism, not hammy, scenery-chewing melodrama. Still, it's not a bad film at all, IMO. Leonard Maltin gave it one-and-a-half stars, but conceded that nobody can possibly accuse the filmmakers of taking the easy way out. Indeed, it takes considerable skill to make something like this, even if it could have certainly been much better.
