Movie: Morbius (2022) Caution Spoiler Alert

 Morbius



Came out; 2022

Time; 1 hours 44 minutes

Watched: Netflix


Rating; PG-13 for intense sequences of violence, some frightening images and brief strong language


IMDB Rating; 5.2/10


Caution; Spoiler Alert


Staring.

Jared Leto as Dr. Michael Morbius

Matt Smith as Milo

Adria Arjona as Martine Bancroft

Jared Harris as Dr. Emil Nicholas

Tyrese Gibson as Agent Simon Stroud

Al Madrigal as Agent Rodriguez

Michael Keaton as Adrian Toomes


Story Line.


Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder, and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. What at first appears to be a radical success soon reveals itself to be a remedy potentially worse than the disease


Thoughts.


So, I agreed to watch this because Jared Leto was the main actor, I had no idea that it was a marvel movie.


The beginning was a bit harder to feel the movie, they also never really explained what exactly was wrong. It was always just assumed.


This turned out to be a decent movie and it was literally all Jared Leto! It was truly a win/win situation. It also wasn't overly long which movies seem to be now.


CAUTION; Major Spoiler Alert


At a hospital in Greece, 10-year-old Michael Morbius welcomes his surrogate brother Lucien, whom he renames Milo; they bond over their shared blood illness and desire to be "normal". Their adoptive father and hospital director Nicholas arranges for Morbius to attend medical school in New York while he focuses on caring for Milo.

25 years later, Morbius publicly declines a Nobel Prize for his work with synthetic blood. His colleague Martine Bancroft discovers he has secretly captured dozens of vampire bats from Costa Rica hoping to splice their genes with his own to cure his condition. After informing Milo of his planned illegal experiment, Morbius receives funding from him to outfit a private mercenary vessel in international waters with his equipment. While the cure works, it transforms Morbius into a vampire, who kills and drains the crew of their blood after they attack him out of fear. Once his bloodlust subsides and he regains his senses, a horrified Morbius erases all CCTV footage of his experiment before contacting the authorities and jumping overboard.

Morbius returns to New York and discovers he now has superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, and echolocation, with his vampire bats treating him as a bat. To control his bloodlust, he subsists on his synthetic blood until it gradually ceases to satisfy his needs. FBI agents Simon Stroud and Al Rodriguez investigate Morbius' victims and deduce his involvement. Milo learns Morbius is cured, but becomes furious when Morbius refuses to cure him as well. While checking on a hospitalized Bancroft, Morbius finds a dead nurse, drained of her blood. Believing he was responsible, he attempts to escape before being cornered and arrested. In prison, he is visited by Milo, who offers to use his wealth to free him. Upon realizing Milo took his cure and killed the nurse, Morbius escapes to confront him. An unrepentant Milo confesses to his bloodlust-induced crime and urges Morbius to embrace his powers as he has. Unwilling to hurt his brother, Morbius flees.

Morbius meets Bancroft to explain what Milo has done before acquiring a new lab and developing an antibody against vampirism to stop and kill Milo; he also plans to use it on himself since he will become unable to resist his bloodlust. Stroud and Rodriguez find footage of one of Milo's attacks and, believing Morbius' vampirism to be spreading, release it to the media. Nicholas recognizes Milo and pleads with him to stop. Angered by Nicholas' perceived preference for Morbius, Milo wounds and forces him to call Morbius, who watches Nicholas die while Milo attacks Bancroft. Morbius returns to Bancroft, but she dies in his arms and he drinks her blood. Morbius confronts Milo and summons an army of bats to restrain him and inject the antibody. Milo dies and Morbius flies off with the bats, mourning his loved ones and embracing his identity as a vampire. Unbeknownst to him, Bancroft is revived as a vampire herself elsewhere, having ingested a drop of Morbius' blood whilst he was feeding on her.

In the film's mid and post-credits scenes, Adrian Toomes finds himself transported to Morbius' universe. Having deduced that his transportation involved Spider-Man, Toomes approaches Morbius and suggests that they form a team.


Movie: There's Someone Inside Your House (2021) Caution Spoiler Alert

 There's Someone Inside Your House



Came out; 2021

Time; 1 hours 36 minutes

Watched: Netflix


Rating; TV-MA


IMDB Rating; 4.8/10


Caution; Spoiler Alert


Staring.

Sydney Park as Makani Young

Theodore Pellerin as Ollie Larsson

Asjha Cooper as Alex Crisp

Dale Whibley as Zach Sandford

Jesse LaTourette as Darby

Burkely Duffield as Caleb Greeley

Diego Josef as Rodrigo Doran

Zan Clifford as Macon Bewley

BJ Harrison as Gam


Story Line.


Makani Young has moved from Hawaii to quiet, small-town Nebraska to live with her grandmother and finish high school, but as the countdown to graduation begins, her classmates are stalked by a killer intent on exposing their darkest secrets to the entire town, terrorizing victims while wearing a life-like mask of their own face. With a mysterious past of her own, Makani and her friends must discover the killer's identity before they become victims themselves.


Thoughts.


This movie looked interesting. It was clearly geared toward teenagers or young adults but that's ok.


The who was a bit different, I like when movies play with you a little, make it seem like one person when it's really someone else. That's what was great about the original Scream movie, it has that sleight of hand.


It was pretty good. Each person had a back story that didn't come to light right away,


CAUTION; Major Spoiler Alert


Eager to wipe the slate clean and bury the ugly past, high school student Makani moves to a small town in Nebraska. However, with graduation day just around the corner, a spate of grisly murders occurs, as an unidentified maniac bent on exposing everyone's intimate secrets stalks unsuspecting Makani's classmates. More and more, as the relentless masked killer spills innocent blood, one thing is for sure: in this white-knuckle cat-and-mouse game, Makani and her friends must figure out the murderer's identity before they end up dead. Is there a wolf hiding in plain sight?
