Movie reviews of David Whitley

2017, Drama

A quirky love story that does a great job at telling a story about mental illness without completely making light of it.

2016, Horror

Yikes.

2017, Drama, Horror, Suspense, Science fiction

This space horror film has mixed moments.

2017, Comedy, Science fiction, Love

A quaint little film that starts slowly but builds into its own brand of humor.

2012, Drama, Horror, Suspense

Definitely not for everyone, this intense thriller focuses on the sound of horror and is a very slow burn.

2016, Drama, Comedy

Despite being emotionally hard hitting, the excellent character building and script at times takes a backseat to some derivative plot points.

2010, Fantasy, Drama, Horror, Suspense

Full of loving gothic imagery, the CGI violence goes a bit too far to be stellar.

2014, Drama, Action, Science fiction

Nothing to write home about, but the first solid American Godzilla movie.

1999, Adventure, Fantasy, Action

Heavy on the action, but at times terrifying, this Indian Jones knock-off deserves a second look.

2014, Horror, Suspense

Dreadful… just… dreadful...

2017, Drama, Horror, Suspense, Crime

Confusingly edited, stereotypical characters, and a plot that is evident nearly halfway through, this movie is not worth your admission.

2014, Fantasy, Drama, Horror, Action, War

This tale of how Dracula came to be has been left untold for a reason.

2017, Adventure, Fantasy, Action

A thrilling monster mash, this movie is high on the monster mash and the imagery surrounding it, but low on plot and characterization.

1954, Horror, Suspense, Science fiction

The King of the Monsters makes his first appearance in the unforgettable 1954 Gojira/Godizilla.

2017, Drama, History

Elodramatic and overstuffed, this film is only for those who want an up and down experience for ninety or so minutes.

1931, Drama, Horror, Science fiction

The mother of all mad scientist classics sustains itself with mood, sets, and timely acting moments.

1933, Adventure, Drama, Horror, Science fiction

Revolutionary, exciting, and technically astounding, King Kong is a must watch monster movie.

1941, Drama, Horror

A real human protagonist, a real selection of atmospheric shots, and a winning score highlight my favorite of the Universal monsters.

1932, Horror

Boris Karloff struts his stuff as Imhotep in one of the most revolutionary Universal movies.

1931, Horror

The movie is incredibly creepy for a number of reasons, and these are the reasons why the film is undeniably a classic.

2016, Drama, Music, Comedy, Love

Young love, brotherhood, and the intense creation of music – you couldn’t ask for more.

2016, Action, Suspense

Bloody horror fun, the whole ending killed (no pun intended) it for me.

2017, Drama, Comedy, History

Wonderfully acted, but a bit overlong, this film will be a crowd pleaser despite its heavy symbolism in today’s world.

2015, Drama, Comedy, Suspense, Science fiction, Love

Thoroughly bleak and yet oddly moving, The Lobster is extremely strange but worth your time.
