It feels that the early Winter, snow-still-fresh blue tint to much of the film is in the quality of light and setting, not some filter slapped over the lens. This is *really* restrained compared to the action movie counterparts c. 1998-2004. Fights fall prey to shakycam, but it is executed well.

The best revision of the Zombie Apocalypse horror genre so far. Shakycam action sequences actually work to great effect. The pandemic aftermath plot is compelling. The fast zombies are TERRIFYING.

Yeah IIRC they cool it on the shakycam in the second movie, and the budget for CG is much better.

#4. [REC] (2007). Been meaning to watch this for ages and it lived up to the hype. Lean and legitimately scary. Although anyone who has a hard time with shakycam may want to steer their stomachs clear.

the most questionable thing about it that i can't stop thinking about is that they filmed it in office-style shakycam so whenever the rich people would be talking and you'd get a reaction cut to the king i couldn't take it seriously

Too much shakycam in the big scene, but this is another great episode.

Lots of writing this week, starting with my review of this cringe-and-nausea-inducing, shakycam, "it's just like now!!" take on the Peasants' Revolt:
Paul Greengrass waggles his camera all over the place in his grim, muddy, simpleminded Middle Ages revolt. www.avclub.com/the-uprising...
The Uprising turns a medieval insurrection into chaotic modern myth

if you just imagine the Monty Python bit with the peasants filmed with Bourne-like shakycam, you get the gist of The Uprising

I'd say the reason it's better received this time around is because Kane & Lynch 2 already tried the "crappy shakycam" look and tanked the "what on earth is this" hit for what came later, never mind its own cult appreciation years later youtu.be/rynGUR3_tvk

i have no doubt it will become popular because the genre has been starving for originality for a while, but the backlash is overdetermined in the same way there was eventually a backlash against found footage and shakycam in movies

I forgot how addicted to shakycam Quantum of Solace is, to the point it's almost useless as an action flick (and you sure as hell ain't putting up with this stinker for the script).

He does stuff with scale and staging that no one else working can match. The journey into Hades was--for me at least--myth made sumptuous visual flesh. And then he made Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway do Simple English Shakespeare after Matt won the gold in Olympic Shakycam Swordery.

I loved LADY (there were statistically significant walkouts so caveat emptor) but on behalf of the shakycam intolerant I would just note for the benefit of mockumentarians that actual documentaries now are always gimballed up the wazoo and nothing looks like that anymore.

I think she may have swallowed Sirenhead or something
Sirenhead
Alt: Shakycam 'footage' of Sirenhead, a towering vaguely humanoid figure with a gaunt emaciated body unnaturally long arms and fingers, and with two huge air-raid sirens for its head. It is depicted as if it is standing just beyond the next hill, at least a quarter mile away, and still towers above a telephone pole in the foreground, possibly 100s of feet tall (many dozens of meters
