First I wouldn't watch this as there is someone that looks like eelon muskmellon and then it has to bring in more of the over done vampire genre. The only vampire movies that were worth a damn were the early classics mostly with Bela Lugosi and also "Near Dark" (1985) and "Let The Right One In" (2008) which is the Swedish one NOT the U.S. remake. It is not at all interesting with most of the movies these days having anti heroes and in this case criminals that are jerks that haven't an ounce of charisma, it brings to mind the horror film "Don't Breathe" with the stupid kids. I miss the days when horror films were fairly consistent in the 1980's, though the 1990's sucked and then a few good ones in the 2000's. Now, there are way too many films that go straight to video or streaming and the ones that make it to theaters really had no business doing so.

3 unlovable characters: each does and does not care about the other 2. The endiing is vague but by then who cares.

This film shows the pointless, random violence that can occur when 2 parties do not agree. Neither side open to discussion, combined with the ridiculously out-dated 'right to bear arms' mentality. I'm glad this movie was made, at the times that we are facing now. Hopefully it will open a few eyes as to what is potentially only a few months away and get people talking, not plotting each others demise.

What disappointed me the most was the lack of marketing for this movie. I almost missed it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. A departure for Johnny and he mastered it beautifully as did all the characters. Congratulations Maiwenn. Yiu won’t be disappointed.

This movie should have been titled War Correspondence, since that was the only focus of the film, capturing the confusion, inhumanity and wanton abandon of an average citizen with a gun during conflict. I was expecting backstory as to how the civil war began; an explanation of who were on opposing sides and why; as well as HOW the side opposed to the United States and the sitting President got access to all the military equipment for their use. This movie lacked little info that focused on the title. All that being said, Dunst delivered a great performance as a photo journalist hardened by her calling which required her to disengage personally from the horrors that were going on in front of her lens. The adrenaline surge accompanying the desire to capture the moments in real time seem matched by the depressive nature of the war time scenarios. At times they seem to be a hinderance to the operations, essentially 'unnecessary' in the action moment...that is until you realize that without many of these candid and real photos, we would know nothing visually to attach emotion and empathy. It brings the atrocities and horror to us personally on our computers, phones, tv, magazines. I understand that each side presently thinks the other side is the guilty party in the possibility of a civil war, but this movie had a chance to show the main factors that are instigating it all...mobs pretending to be seal team six because they play video games and win; adults unwilling to compromise or even listen to oppositions reasonings; peoples lifestyles feeling threatened, and other people pushing their agendas on them; and most of all the division being perpetuated by people claiming the ability to lead ALL of America when they are only concerned with loyalists, or candidates that should pass the baton because they had their time already. I will give this movie ONE good point, it did not come across as bias to either side, seemingly more neutral.

Unfrosted has more laughs (than not) and the references are mostly for the baby boomer demographic. Given the brands of breakfast products of that period, still on grocery shelves today. Lots known funny people (some not so known) throughout the movie made it worth watching. Giving just 1 spoiler, Bill Burr does a good JFK. Some of the story plot was fictitious but sometimes I thought, did some of this really happen? If you take kids to see this you can explain the references dating back to the 1950's 60's.
