Last Seen Contemporary Movie

All Cheerleaders Die

Yeah, I lasted 5 minutes. Wanted to tear my eyes out.

Cry_Wolf -

I think I saw parts of this before. Maybe sections in between and the ending. But I forgot about it at first. I decided to watch it last night when I saw the guy who plays Sam in Supernatural in the credits. Also, I have a passing interest in what movies Lindy Booth shows up in. I think this is her best performance that I've seen. She's really strong in it and you are drawn to her character. The movie is a pretty good isolated High School type slasher with modern technology at the time added in. Kind of dated now though. I don't think many use Instant Messenger or AOL anymore for that matter. I do think they could have done a bit more with the environment. Yet it's worth checking out and I'll probably get it on DVD/Blu-ray eventually. I didn't find much fault with this one. A nice surprise "who done it" type of mystery slasher that doesn't come around much.

"The Alamo" (2004) 7/10

Gotta admit, fell asleep halfway through but woke up right before the last brutal 30 minutes. Holy hell. Can't really call it a happy ending.

Great performances from everyone, but Billy Bob Thornton stole the spotlight as Davy Crockett.

Am sure Ah-nuld must be kicking himself after seeing the end product.

Dull, lifeless and slow-moving, which could have been an action-packed whodunnit. Surprising to see accomplished actors like Sam Worthington & Terrence Howard in this, when there was nothing much to do for either of them, specially the latter. And that ending, both of them, didn't make sense at all.

Avoid, unless you absolutely have to see the Terminator in his 70s sleepwalk through a snoozefest, laced with some action and gory sequences which are few and far-between.

Well I finally saw The Purge and I thought it was alright. I give it 6/10. It wasn't that great and I've seen better but it wasn't all that terrible but I know I wouldn't see it again. I've heard the 2nd one was supposed to be better, so I'll have to wait and see and see how the 2nd one will come out. I'm waiting until it comes out on DVD.

Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier
Meh. Typical superhero stuff. And add the fact that Captain America is one of the more boring superheroes.
Good thing Scarlett Johansson was there.

Child of God (2013)

This had got pretty terrible reviews but I really enjoyed it. James Franco directs this low budget Southern Gothic tale about a Hill billy corpse fucker who has perfect teeth but poor toilet hygiene.

Hahahahaha

Seen it and i can only agree. ::big grin::

Damn what a disgusting movie..

Only read meh comments except for mine.

I remember at least 2 wasn't impressed. One of them Roshiq.

That's not true!

I didn't write any review (cause I just didn't want to or may be not in the mood), only gave it a grade "B+ (http://www.horror.com/forum/showpost.php?p=971524&postcount=2011)"...and you thought I wasn't impressed by that!?! Really...?
Is "B+" stands for "not impressed" for you guys? Strange!

FYI: here are my ratings in grade (out of 10):
A = 9+
A - = 8 to 9
B+ = 7 to 8
B = 6 to 7
B- = 5.5 to 6
C+ = 5 to 5.5
C = 5
C- = 4 to 5
D+ = 2 to 4
D = Below 2
F = 0

And a very rare but SPECIAL GRADING: "A+" for something truly remarkable in every aspects for a film and blow my mind right away!

Interesting concept of the dybbuk, and had a few effective scares. The concept was a bit weak with plotholes, and Odette (Yustman) Annable was not a great choice for the lead.

As things stood, her cameltoe was the highlight of the film. Apparently the makers couldn't have enough of it either.

Fresh Meat (2012)
A dysfunctional gang of criminals takes a middle class Maori family hostage and discovers too late that they are cannibals.

Nice horror-comedy with a good cast.
One character in particular was quite awesome imo.

The Double (2013)
A clerk in a government agency finds his unenviable life takes a turn for the horrific with the arrival of a new co-worker who is both his exact physical double but with an opposite personality.

To slow and surreal for my taste. Everything else looked alright so I'm sure there are people who will be able to appreciate this movie. But I'm not one of them.

When i watch movies like this, where the protagonist is held captive of sorts by the antagonist, i always expect one thing: for the characters to grow. In Phone Booth, Collateral, Panic Room and others you can see the growth the characters make and how strong they become and that is my one issue with this movie. Elijah Wood's character grows but there is no progression, he just suddenly becomes a stronger and better person almost all at once.

There didn't seem to be enough time in this movie for him to grow, the movie felt very short and quick but it wasn't horrible. John Cusack made a good villain even if for the duration of the movie you only hear his voice. Elijah Wood played a good protagonist and i enjoyed the suspense and the piano pieces. The end was kind of a mess but overall it was enjoyable.

Decent English prison movie.
Nice change from the American prison flicks.
The movie poster exaggerates of course.
Only link to Scum is that it's about a young offender and that it's English.
And brutal? Few short bits of heavy violence but nothing shocking.

^I thought that was one of the best films I have seen in recent years. The lead actor was excellent. I never heard of the expression 'starred up' til I seen this film and it actually does happen.

It's mildly entertaining. Guardians are an interesting group of characters. I wish the story would have been as well. Especially if the story was going to be so so cliche, I wish they would have heavily accentuated the characters. But they didn't.

I agree. I give it an 8/10 just because it was so entertaining. I'd probably give it a 9 if the story was more interesting.

Oculus (2014)

Good, not great, horror. A top 25 horror film for the year, which is more of a testament to the lack of great horror this year than to Occulus's intrinsic brilliance. It's a down year in horror when Godzilla is the best movie.

[FryeDwight]

ZOMBIELAND (2010). OK flick which has some funny moments and decent zombies, but found the characters unlikable and humor gets forced quickly, but worth seeing once.
Noticed it was filmed in Georgia (like THE WALKING DEAD) and the scene where Columbus meets Tallahassee on the car strewn highway sure reminded me of TWD opener for Season 2...a lot. **1/2

I loved it. It was so much fun. All of the characters are extremely likable and entertaining. The villain was kind of generic but for a first movie villain, he was fine. I really liked that they didn't take this movie too seriously as it is kinda silly but i liked that it wasn't dumbed down too.

So i had a hard time at first getting into this movie because it's shot in a way that looks like found footage but it's obviously edited in more of a documentary style but there's no reason why we the viewers should be watching it. One character does end up with the footage at the end and i guess i could understand them compiling it together for a documentary but that was never said and plus there was one person's footage that shouldn't have been able to be used as well as two other characters whose footage definitely would not have been used. That's another thing, there were way too many people with cameras. But once it got into the plot it got a lot better and was good.

Really difficult movie to watch but really well made. Acting was great, and I liked how there wasn't really an antagonist and protagonist because both Haley and Jeff are pretty fucked up. I also liked how Haley would trick Jeff (and the audience) to think that he has an advantage. One thing I didn't like was how quite a few of the shots were extremely shaky.

Webb went the Raimi route, and left Paul Giamatti's Rhino a cameo. Too many things happen at once and poor Spidey is left with very little in the end. Still, a pretty flash-bang-bam-wham entertainer.

Better film than the one above. Well fleshed out characters, an excellent story taking up after the events of the first film, plenty of breathless action and fantastic actors. Specially glad to see Robert Redford back.

Oh, and Scarlett Johansson's tight ass (http://www.gotceleb.com/wp-content/uploads/celebrities/scarlett-johansson/as-black-widow/Scarlett-Johansson-as-Black-Widow--02.jpg) still kicks...well...ass!!

"At The Devil's Door" 6/10

From the director of "The Pact" comes something more or less the same, altho this is more about possession than haunting.

The first 10 minutes started out really promising, being pacy and creepy and all. And the movie WAS well made, pacy and well acted, i'll give it that. There was just one big problem. It wasn't fucking scary.
Sure it had a lot of atmosphere and it did have a couple of effective jump scares. But most of the time you just get creepy music while looking at a shelf, a chair, an empty room and what not. THAT'S NOT FREAKIN SCARY!! A face in the window, THAT's scary. An empty couch, NOT scary!! Jesus..

You would've thought the director knew this already after making "The Pact" where the scares worked. But another thing he still hasn't learned is to make it clear where the protagonist is in the movie. Like the case was with "The Pact" I also in this movie had a hard time figuring out if the girl was home, in the abandoned house or some place else. That's mildly irritating.

And the ending was a big pile of crap.

Oh well.... worth a watch.

It's Troma released and I thought it was great! It has the feel of a 1970's slasher film infused with a bit of humor. It really exaggerated these films.

[ChronoGrl]

Wow. It's been about a month since I've checked into this thread... Here are my most memorable viewings...


Oldboy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1321511/?ref_=nv_sr_1) (2013)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/oldboy_zps9a1c35ad.jpg


I should have known better... But I let my curiosity get the best of me.

Oldboy is one of my absolute favorite movies and Chan-Wook Park being one of my favorite directors... With that context, as soon as I heard that there was going to be a remake, my reaction was Why?

We can debate the value of remakes back and forth (and have, endlessly on this forum) - There are a few camps in regards to remakes - The camp wherein the Auteur takes a different view of source material (examples: The Thing and The Fly) or there camp wherein the director is pretty damn faithful to the original (examples: Let Me In, Psycho). Then there are the remakes that just tweak the original a bit (examples: The Grudge, Quarantine).

I'm a fan of remakes where they either take a different stance on the source material; I LOVE both The Thing and The Fly. I also appreciate that third category, where the remake is similar but with some tweaks (I actually thought that both The Grudge and Quarantine weren't that bad).

But as for the straight retelling... I don't understand it - I thought that Let The Right One In was such a masterpiece; why did it need to be remade? Granted, Let Me In was solid, but completely unnecessary.

Lee's remake of Oldboy falls more in the "Tweak" camp where he remakes MOST of the original, but makes changes slightly... For example...

[SPOILERS]


Our captured Oldboy draws a face on a pillow and hugs it. I should feel empathy (I suppose) but I thought it was a hilarious reimagining of Wilson the Volleyball. This is only worthy of note because Brolin's performance was so abysmal, this was the first point where I almost turned the movie off.
The torture scene between Oldboy and the man who kept him (not our villain, but the one who owns the giant prison-building) was pretty brutal - He cuts slits into his neck and threatens to pull the head off. I guess that's points FOR this movie on a scale of one and incredibly violent.
Instead of incest between a brother (our Villain) and his sister, it's incest between the sister and her father. ... Really?
Instead of seeking revenge for being shamed, the Villain is seeking revenge BECAUSE HIS FATHER WENT ON A MURDER SPREE KILLING THE SISTER, HIS MOTHER, AND TRYING TO KILL HIM. ... Again, really?
And then, finally, Lee tries to make us believe that Oldboy isn't REALLY doing his own daughter (played by Elizabeth Olsen; the only actor here who is doing a decent job) through an oddly elaborate TV show that Brolin is forced to watch during his captivity... Which is set up to make him believe his daughter is someone else... I guess...?
Then there's the end - The only change that I think is interesting - After realizing that he's been doing his own daughter, Oldboy decides to go back to the hotel Cell and pays for him to be locked up. This is interesting because Lee is playing with the concept that all of his humanity has been taken from him... But, again, Park did it better.


Ugh. I've spent too much time on this already. My point is that if you're going to make tweaks to the original, they better damn well be good. While the end was an interesting twist, everything was just awful, horrible, terrible.

Also - While I do like Brolin, he was definitely not on his game for this one. Which is really too bad.

Oh, and the Villain is Sharlto Copley (District 9) doing a REALLY weird accent. This guy is really a terrible actor in general (he was f'ing awful in District 9)... He goes too broad and I just find him comical, not threatening.

So - Yeah. This was awful. Terrible. Awful. **pukey emoticon**

Spike Lee - What has become of you??

I had been looking forward to this for a while - I really like Joon-ho Bong's other work (notably The Host), and wanted to see what he'd do with a high-concept science fiction premise such as this. Plus, I am a MASSIVE Terry Gilliam fan and was super-excited to see a larger-than-life bizarre scifi movie come out...

And I loved it.

Now, I have to preface that statement by saying that it's definitely not a perfect movie - Some of the dialogue is really awkward (I wonder if that's the language or cultural barrier), the message can be heavy-handed at times, AND I'm not a huge fan of the very very end...

BUT

I liked the rest of the movie so much that those flaws didn't matter.


The direction and set design were great - You really got a sense of the classes of the train... I also loved the transition from car to car...
Tilda Swinton was great. End of story.
Kang-ho Song was also great.
Actually, come to think of it, the whole cast was great.
I like a good distopia story and this one had my geek senses quivering.
Heavy-handed? Yes, but I found the dialogue to be very, very interesting (from both sides, actually).



Not a perfect movie but I am VERY thankful that it's out there. I want more solid science fiction (it's been a good year for it!)

I don't think that I'm doing it justice. I loved it. I'd lover to hear what other folks thought of it.

Note - I say read the description before watching; if you can't buy the concept, then you should skip it.

This was hilarious. Definitely one of those parts-are-greater-than-its-whole movies, but that's exactly what it is - If you like Wet, Hot, American Summer, then you'll definitely dig this. Paul Rudd and Jason Mantzoukas, in particular, were utterly fantastic. And, well, of course Amy Poehler...

Thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to seeing it again (I have a feeling I'll enjoy it even more).

Haunt (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2386278/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) (2013)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/haunt_zpsbdd16ae7.jpg


Really solid movie about a haunting. I was really impressed. The writing was really weak at times and the acting could have used some improvement BUT overall, it had a great creepout factor and the end was great. Recommended.


3.75/5

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2103281/?ref_=nv_sr_1)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/dawn_zpsb7f37028.jpg


I actually initially had no interest in seeing this... I mean, I thought that Rise was OK, all things considered (read as: better than Burton's remake), but it didn't necessarily make me want to run out and see Dawn.

That being said, the reviews turned me around and I'm glad that they did...


The special effects were AMAZING. I am floored by how realistic the apes looked. And the talent (Andy Circus and Toby Kebbell were absolutely perfect).
The writing and acting were incredible - Oh, man, the pathos - I truly cared about and empathized with the Apes... There were definitely multiple moments where the theater got a little dusty (heh)
The score was fantastic - I'm not sure if it directly borrowed from the original movie or if it was influenced, but there were a couple of scenes where the onscreen action playing with the music made me shiver with joy.
True tension and horror - There were moments that were actually chilling. I was really impressed.

This was a lot more layered and complex than I ever dreamed. Absolutely loved it.


4/5

Wow. Pfew. I just loved this. I really am floored with how many well-done scifi movies are coming out right now (the movies listed above plus Edge of Tomorrow).

This movie was just plan fun to watch - I adored all of the characters (Rocket and Drax especially stole the show - I can't believe how great Bradley Cooper did - He was doing a cartoon voice!! Not just his own voice!)...

Lots of laughs, lots of feels, and great action.

I'm looking forward to seeing it again.

5/5

[horcrux2007]

"Haunt" has been... um... haunting me for the past couple months. I see the trailer in my YT recommendations, it's the first thing I see on Netflix, and it's on the recommendations on IMDb. You think I should watch it?

[ChronoGrl]

I always have a hard time recommending horror because everyone has different things that scare them

BUT

Yes, I say definitely give it a watch. While we've seen so many ghost stories before, I thought that this had a little unique twist. Good ending too.

It's a good solid little haunting movie. Check it out.

[horcrux2007]

Newer supernatural movies are some of my favorite horror movies, so I'm willing to give this one a shot.

[ChronoGrl]

Cool - I'd love to know what you think! And if you hate it, blame Angra; he's the one that introduced me to it. ::wink::

What other modern supernatural movies are your faves? I'm always looking for recs.

Speaking of modern supernatural fare - Have you read Joe Hill's Heart Shaped Box? Fan-freaking-tastic ghost story.


...


Currently watching Cabin in the Woods. I am pretty sure that this is a perfect movie and one of my favorites of all time. Is there anyone on here that hasn't seen it? If so, go watch it immediately.

[horcrux2007]

Oculus is my second favorite horror movie of all time (I don't think anyone else in the universe other than like Mike Flanagan agrees), I'm a HUGE fan of found footage movies (some of my favorites are Grave Encounters, [REC], Paranormal Activity, and Cloverfield), and I have Sinister coming up (looks really cool and interesting) as well as Insidious (my seventh grade English teacher recommended it to me... strange person to get a recommendation from, but she's like 30 lol) which looks awesome; I really like James Wan's movies.

Cool. Seems like we have really similar tastes. I really liked the first 2/3 of Insidious and then lost interest... I LOVED Sinister, though; really creeped me out. And I love found footage too.

Have you seen Haunter and The Caller? The former I thought was so/so (but some folks on here loved it... The latter I thought was great.

I'm looking forward to Oculus - I've heard mixed reviews but I think it looks great. Plus I'm interested to see Karen Gillan outside of Dr. Who.

I don't watch Doctor Who, so I didn't know who Karen Gillan was when I first saw the movie, but she is a really great actress. Brenton Thwaites has been getting in some big movies too such as The Giver and Maleficent (which I liked :P). He seems like he's gonna pull a Jennifer Lawrence and all the sudden blow up into this big actor.

"Haunter" sounds familiar, but I've never heard of "The Caller". What are those two about?

[ChronoGrl]

Hmm - So Haunter and The Caller are the types of movies that you don't want to describe too much, you know? I wouldn't want to give too much away...

With Haunter, it centers around a girl who is being haunted but - by what? Maybe the ghosts that used to live in her house - Maybe she's one of them...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2345567/

With The Caller - A girl receives a phone call. And it goes from there. And, no, it's not the urban legend of the call coming from inside the house.

haha - Interesting to hear that not everyone hated the Oldboy remake... Anyone else see it? What's the overall forum consensus.I didn't think much of it either. This was my review of it in this thread:
Old Boy 2013

5/10


SOILERS!!
.
.
.
.
.
.
SOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was directed by Spike Lee. The cinematography and directing work are good, lead actor Josh Brolin is good... it's just the story parts and logic are preposterous. One knows when a film is trying to be taken seriously, and what parts seriously; and when that's unsuccessful, it can be disastrous.

The ending climax, which is the big reveal of the film, is about the worst offense: the antagonist Adrian locks up the alcoholic anti-hero Joe for 20 years because Joe told everyone at school Adrian's sister was screwing her father in the school green house. She commits suicide. Adrian's father was sleeping with his daughter, wife & Adrian. And when it comes out, he shoots his family & self to death, but Adrian survives.

Adrian is rich, put Joe in locked room for 20 years, kills Joe's wife, & has Joe's baby daughter Marie raised by employees who would make Marie fall for a guy like Joe. Adrian releases Joe so that Joe will sleep with Marie who he doesn't know. When that happens, Adrian watches, tells Joe what he did... this is revealed as Adrian's goal, Adrian thinks Joe now understands what Adrian went through, and Adrian can kill himself in peace now. Say wha?

Does Adrian believe he lives after death, or otherwise he could have just killed himself DayOne to end his distress... Does Adrian think this 20 year-in-the-making incestuous encounter sets him up well for peace after suicide? Sure, he's insane, people are irrational creatures, still doesn't make the film satisfying.


Have you seen Haunter and The Caller? The former I thought was so/so (but some folks on here loved it... The latter I thought was great.I dug it too. This was my review of it:
The Caller 7/10

Currently on Netflix.

Fairly slick and quick moving film based on a cool idea. If you haven't seen it, and would like to, best experience is to just play it without reading anything about it (like I did). Good acting, sharp simple sets, effective directing.


SPOILER:
================================================== =======
New lady move into a new apt, gets call by crazy older woman... from the past, who has the power to chance the present. This is a concept that's difficult to keep suspension of disbelief intact, but I think the director does a good job keeping things moving to the end. Plays a bit like a Twilight Zone ep in that way.

Not everyone can relate to this, nor appreciate it. Quite frankly, it's a superb effort, helped immensely with some fantastic performances. The title is misleading, yes, but by the end you are left to wonder if it isn't a perfect fit.

Unsettling, disturbing or simply touching in it's absolute grief - watch and decide for yourself.

[horcrux2007]

3.5/5

Hostel is gruesome, disturbing, intense, gory, inventive, and entertaining. The movie has a 70's style to it, and it never takes itself totally seriously. The film is also well-acted and shot. The first thirty to forty minutes are just filler and is pretty much a sex comedy (which somewhat works because it lulls you into a false sense of security... sorta like Hard Candy), but once the blood starts pouring down the screen, it's intense and entertaining.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

As a Tolkien fan who has read the majority of his works I was very happy with Jackson's adaptation. He clearly knows his Tolkien, and even when he took license, he did it in a respectful and fun way. All the naysayers can kiss my ass, this is a great film. :D

I love, love, love Peter Jackson's work!! The LOTR and The Hobbit movies are my favorite series ever!! I lost count on how many times I have watched them!! I hope to see more of his work!! ::big grin::

House of 1000 Corpses:

Despite its faults - I can watch this movie again and again. Great Characters, snappy dialogue, strong score and a plot that makes no sense. Great stuff trumped only by its sequel.

This is another movie that I can watch over and over. There just wasn't much that I didn't enjoy with this one.

[_____V_____]

http://tyschwamberger.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/dead-souls.jpg

Shame. It started so promisingly for a low-brow effort, but by the time the second half comes in, the film falls flat on it's face. And that ridiculous ending!

http://images.bwwstatic.com/columnpic6/2EA557E8F-0512-F10B-CF4328831956793D.jpg

The film starts off with an absolute sucker-punch of a brutal scene. Slow-paced with quite a few surprising Hitchcock-ian turns. You can never judge people by how they talk & behave, that's for sure. And the film has so much grief that between this one and The Truth About Emanuel, I need some serious cheering up. Going back to my Hammer classics just for some much-needed air.

Oh by the way, it's recommended to pretty much every one who doesn't mind a slow-pacer riddled with twists which will boggle your mind until the very end.

[horcrux2007]

9/10

Woah, was this one crazy movie! It's a zombie movie... and I don't wanna spoil anything else. The way the virus is transmitted is clever and really disturbing, and the entire film takes place within a radio station, so we mostly hear the effects of the virus through phone calls, but the effects are actually shown firsthand. It's really well-acted, funny, clever, intense, and new. Think 28 Days Later if it was written by a linguist.

Road Kill / Road Train (MILD SPOILERS) -

Someone here reviewed this recently and I'm fairly certain gave it a bad review. But they mentioned pointless sex scene and I searched for it on IMDB anyway. Go figure.

I saw Sophie Lowe in it, the actress who was in that cancelled Once Upon a Time spinoff. Georgina Haig who was in Fringe, is going to be in Once Upon a Time this coming season, and is a pretty blonde girl. And Bob Morley, the bad but some times good guy in The 100. I figured why not? What a mistake. This is a horrible movie and I fell asleep halfway in it was so stupid. I watched the second half the next night. I wanted to like Georgina Haig's character just because she's pretty. But she plays such a bad character. Why the whole group are even friends is beyond me. I can see how Bob Morley got the role in The 100, it's kind of close to his role in this movie. He cheats with his friend's girlfriend, Georgina Haig's character. For some reason, the friend forgives him which no guy would do. I would get upset if my friend drank out of my glass, forget sleeping with my girlfriend. Yet this friend in the movie doesn't really forgive Georgina Haig even though they are still I guess together. Even stranded in the middle of the desert this guy pores out all her water. So if he has that level of hated why even pretend to be together? And of course even though Georgina Haig's character acts upset about cheating, what she really wants is to be with the guy she cheated with. Which we can sort of see in the opening. But she slips and says it near the end in case we missed it. Not that it even matters as the whole thing is just a bad soap opera with below average people in a horror format.

Yes this is supposed to be a horror movie. Yet it's not scary and doesn't even come close to being in the same league as Duel. All it does is show how talented Steven Spielberg was at an early age compared to the people that made this garbage. It's one thing to have a demon truck. But for some reason there is a house where I guess the demon truck sometimes parks at, unloads its blood fuel, and cans it for unsuspecting visitors. Georgina Haig's character stumbles on to it. That was when I fell asleep the first time watching the movie. The idea of a demon truck itself isn't bad either. It could be really scary. I'm getting good ideas now. But this movie is so far away from good it's not even funny.

Notice how I don't remember the names of any of the characters in the movie. They just didn't matter. The only thing I got out of this movie is that Australian roads are I guess vacant once you leave the cities. And that large trailers are called "Road Trains" over there. Which is the movie's alternate title. Avoid at all costs.

Interesting concept of the dybbuk, and had a few effective scares. The concept was a bit weak with plotholes, and Odette (Yustman) Annable was not a great choice for the lead.

As things stood, her cameltoe was the highlight of the film. Apparently the makers couldn't have enough of it either.

never mind the camel toe....that's a great ass

If you went for the poster you got what you deserved. The movie itself was shockingly bad. Especially with some of the supporting actors and others involved.


Hmm - So Haunter and The Caller are the types of movies that you don't want to describe too much, you know? I wouldn't want to give too much away...

With Haunter, it centers around a girl who is being haunted but - by what? Maybe the ghosts that used to live in her house - Maybe she's one of them...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2345567/

With The Caller - A girl receives a phone call. And it goes from there. And, no, it's not the urban legend of the call coming from inside the house.

I loved The Caller. Really creepy.

I'm going to check out The Caller. It's probably on my list since Rachelle Lefevre is in it and it's horror.

I had this movie lying around for a couple of years but this was the first time I saw it. Even though it's a horror comedy, the horror element was certainly present for me, since I have bit of a thing when it comes to bugs.
Anyway, it was a pretty good horror comedy.
The acting is better than average, special effects are alright, movie has a nice pace, story's good enough,...
Accordinding to Wiki it was supposed to be the first part in a trilogy but I think those plans are cancelled. Too bad...

Fascinating premise but missing the wow factor. A tad too slow for my taste as well. Good to see all the oldies together (except for Damon, he never grows old does he?), but as it stands, it could have been better, considering that the subject is a real orgasmic one for art lovers.

Intriguing film. Always fascinating to see anything about dopplegangers, and in this dystopian setting, it was more effective. Darkly humorous + excellent characters made this one a good watch. Definitely recommended if you have the patience for the male lead.

Very effective low-budget film, with a central theme of revenge. What's unique is how it's been made - it plays out like a one-man show almost all through, yet it's pretty gripping, tense and taut. Not like the over-crowded, super-loud action blockbusters we know of, but a grim, pacy thriller.

Interesting though at times confusing (it's Christopher Nolan, what do you expect) period piece on two magicians competing against each other for love, fame, etc. I liked the Victorian scenery and Hugh Jackman is good (definitely outshines Christian Bale). From a horror perspective, there are many startles and surprises but this is primarily for science-fiction, magic, and occult aficionados. "Man's reach exceeds his imagination!"

Pretty scary movie. There are quite a few jump scares, but most of them are pretty effective. There was almost no blood or gore, and I liked the creepy atmosphere of the movie, mostly coming from the tapes. It also had a good twist ending. The one problem I had was that some aspects were a bit like The Ring, like the tapes causing whoever watches it to die, but it was definitely different.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

4/10

(sigh) Ever go back to watch a movie you loved when you were a kid, and the film was so kiddie, you realized you can't go back and recapture that unique enjoyment? That's what I felt like watching Spiderman 2 2014. To me, it was so simple, cliche and without any purpose (except for one or two brief moments), that it escaped my enjoyment. But maybe if I was 7 years old?

There's kids' cartoons that had more depth. It's void of all fun sci-fi/fantasy comicbook details, skipped intrigue and plot twists, for the most part skipped deeper character development... to rely solely on action, FX and actors. Only Sally Field could make something of the lack of character material. The action & FX was merely average. It all left me with the impression that this is the lowbrow entertainment expected to suffice today's film audiences.

Luckily, it's just films like Spiderman 2 2014, which I contrast with very effective depth of meaning within X-Men: Days of Future Past, especially in the areas of addiction and self-sacrifice.

And the logic in Spiderman 2 2014... the first time Spiderman brings down Electro, the NY police have him surrounded and surely arrest him; but next we see Eletro is in the clutches of Oscorp. This illogical outcome is never explained. Is this really passable nowadays?

Electro got watered down and passed out. I think it's a weakness of him.
Since Oscorp is a shady company, I assume they arranged it so Electro was brought to one of their facilities.

I agree with your comparison to the cartoons. They have more depth indeed.
I have a similar problem with Transformers, I like the old cartoons but I don't like the movies.

Leprechaun: Origins (2014)

First of all, this one has nothing to do with the Leprechaun series starring Warwick Davis. You can expect something different.

+The cast/acting is better than what you expect from movies like this.
+Same goes for how it was filmed and such.
+I liked the locations

-Lots of horror clichés
-Besides typical dumb decisions some things didn't make sense.
-For an Origins movie there wasn't enough origin. I would have loved more depth.
-Wasted potential. Could've been an interesting movie if they took another direction (maybe a Lovecraftian one) and exploited the origins and history more.

[horcrux2007]

7/10

Holy crap, was I surprised by how much I'd love this movie! This is one of the most entertaining horror movies I've ever seen. It's smart, bloody, and darkly funny, too. The biggest problem was the acting from nearly everyone (except the main girl, who was pretty good), and the excess shaky cam. However, when it wasn't shaky cam, the shots looked beautiful.

"Into the Storm" 6/10


You would've thought with such amazing cgi and effects this would be one helluva disaster movie. Sadly it also contained a bunch of annoying cliché characters you just wanted to see get blown away in all kinds of creative ways. But nooo..
Also, the camera work was all over the place. We get cell phone recordings, hand-held cameras and surveillance camera recordings to make it oh so authentic. Altho I could swear a few of the shots was made with a normal camera. It's just a mess and i'm not even sure they saved a lot of money doing it this way, which is a shame, coz shot normal this movie could have been a lot better than "Twister". In the end it wasn't. Still woth a watch tho.

"Leprechaun: Origins" 3/10

I'm pretty sure the creators had no idea what a leprechaun looks like, coz this bland turd had nothing to do with the former movies or the little bearded fellow in the green clothes. Instead we get 4 young people you couldn't give a rats ass about running around in a forrest from one cabin to the next, trying to escape some kind of monster (I refuse to call it a leprechaun). It's genric, it's boring and i couldn't wait till it was over.

Horrible insult to a franchise that isn't even that good.

Another Ozzie Crime film from the director of Animal Kingdom . This time it is set after the breakdown of society - Guy Pearce plays a man hunting down some outlaws who have stolen his car. Though not as good as AK, this slow burning thriller is well acted and shot, if a little illogical at times. The guy from Twilight is better than expected.

Needful Things (1993)
One of my favorite Stephen King horror movies.
I think it's highly underrated. Story, locations, cast,...
Don't have anything bad to say about this movie.



How's it compared to the first one?
I'm a fan of the series but I didn't really like the movie. Too mainstream and too much romance.

Id say its just as good as the first one.

As Above So Below

I really am not a fan of "found footage" style movies but I thought this was one was ok. I guess what saved it for me is that it reminded me of a sort of modern Indiana Jones type flick (which it could have been had it been a movie and not a mockumentary). It didn't feel like a horror flick though, despite some suspenseful moments, I guess all the silly jump scares lumps into that category though. Great use of sound during one moment though... really dug that.

Amityville Dollhouse -- 7.5/10; As one of the best Amityville entries, Dollhouse is slow going through the first half, but its second half brings some deliciously silly horror in the vein of House '86. The zombie father reminds me of Big Ben.

Yeah, if you go in knowing it's a "found footage" film you can't complain that the camerawork is all over the place. Now if you said that about Transformers or that third Bourne flick you might have a valid complaint.

Damn, I recently watched all the Amityville sequels that I could get a hold of and posted on here. It was a blast. I remember thinking this one ^^^, while it had "Amityville" in the title, never mentioned it once throughout the whole movie. That's true about the Big Ben connection.

[Damn Heathen]

Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead -- 9.5/10; Honestly, I didn't care much for Dead Snow, what with all the dirty tight action shots spoiling some decent gore effects. And while there are a few of those here, the director has really honed his style enough to make the gore shine through (perhaps his work on Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters did him some good). If you like Dead Alive or the Hatchet series, you may well consider this a godsend.

Spooky. Really, really spooky.

Vanessa Redgrave's narration adds to the gloomy, foreboding and terrifying atmosphere of this 80-minute, low-budget, mono-act effort. Aaron Poole did a decent job, but could have been better. The effects were top-notch and in the end, the questions the film leaves you with, provide answers on their own.

A slow-burner, but a definite recommendation.

I'm interested to hear what you think

I searched what I have and The Caller isn't available now. Perhaps they will put it up one day.




Dark House -

I probably should have passed on this one but I saw Jeffrey Combs and Meghan Ory in the credits. The movie is pretty much a miss even with them but Jeffrey Combs always manages to turn in a funny or at least inspired performance. I've seen Meghan Ory in a few TV shows and figured why not see what kind of horror movie she's in. It's a good premise. Actors go to stay and work in a house with holographic killers. Meghan Ory's character maybe has history with the house. I don't know, a twist happens that I didn't get and I don't think the writer or director got either. The acting is bad for the most part except for the two I mentioned. The movie has the sort of bad writing that anyone familiar at all with computers will cringe at. Namely a guy that can program physical holograms gets a virus on his computer. Forget about the fact that said virus is from a ghost. Yes a ghost actually gives a computer a virus. And the guy's response is to reboot it. Because we all know that will erase a computer virus. This movie was made in 2009 as well. I thought I was watching something from the 90s. The twist comes out of the blue and doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. A pass as there are better movies to watch.




Triangle -

I've wanted to see this one for a while. I saw the poster with Melissa George a few years back and it looked like a good one. Plus I've always had a thing for the Bermuda Triangle. I did a large scale project on it in lower school. Somewhere between 1st and 5th grade. The idea of things not working and an area people don't understand was always strange and weird. I can't believe this movie didn't get a theatrical release here in the States and was financially a flop. I doubt DVD and Blu-ray sales made up the rest.

In case any one else hasn't seen this one I don't want to spoil it at all. I've seen similar themes in movies and TV shows but I don't think I've seen it in horror. The movie is well done and basically like a full length Twilight Zone episode. I don't want to mention the episode because it will ruin the movie. Send me a message if you want to know. It's an episode that always scared me and I'm getting shivers now just thinking about it. Speaking about Twilight Zone, there is a series of prints coming out and I hope that episode is one of them. Here's the first one of Eye of the Beholder -


http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj600/ImmortalSlasher/TwilightZoneEyeoftheBeholderPrint.jpg (http://s1269.photobucket.com/user/ImmortalSlasher/media/TwilightZoneEyeoftheBeholderPrint.jpg.html)


I'm going to try and find the posters that are in the Aeolus. That should make a good display somewhere one day.

There are tons of twists and surprises in Triangle and just when you think you know what's happening there is another twist. The movie has tons of beautiful cinematic wide shots and some horrific ones too. There is one shot in particular that's striking and tells the nature of what's going on. It's very much like something out of Twilight Zone or another genre that I don't want to mention as it will spoil the movie.

Just like Halloween and other great horror movies, Triangle leaves you with an unsettling feeling at the end. A definite movie to own.




The Objective -

This is almost a modern, more subtle version of Predator. I liked it but it's not something I'll watch again.

I, Damn Heathen, didn't care a lick about this story, which would have been a thousand times more interesting had the villain succeeded, in whole or in part, with his master plan. The grand spectacle of it all did give me a thrill, though, and such horror-actioners are few and far between. Eckhart didn't seem fit for the lead; Nighy was his usual villainous self (always a pleasure).

HEAVEN IS ONLY IN HELL 1993

A supposedly rare film by director Wim Vink yet I managed to find it on YouTube. At the beginning, they warned about extreme violence or some such but it was fine.

Basically, a very ordinary girl sets out to commit a bloody murder to gain eternal life.

School cheerleaders meet with an accident and are resurrected by the resident creepy weirdo as zombified vampires. Story had potential and the girls are all hotties, but the execution wasn't that good. Nothing happens for the first 20-25 minutes and when it does happen, it's just not enough.

Lots of action mixed with generous doses of smirky humor. Kevin Costner tries to pull off a Liam Neeson role here and almost succeeds, if he wasn't too smug. 2 parallel plots usually aren't done well, and it's the same here. The climax is just too sudden and quick, and the family plot is never fully done. Amber Heard provides plenty of overdone eye candy (and a great upskirt peek). Average time-waster.

Oculus (2013)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p433/sanjidparvez/Oculus_zps8b8b4c83.jpg

It could have been better or more interesting if they avoided or excludes those "ghostly figures with glass eyes" and focused more on psychological horror segment of the story. The story wasn't bad, liked the idea of a mirror with diabolical power to manipulate people around it & play tricks on them to kill or destroy each other but those "ghostly figures with glass eyes" looked kinda cheap & lame. I guess there are some parts where they might have needed to show some 'corporeal ghosts', in that case the effects needed to be better for that part.

"7500" 6/10

The new Takashi Shimizu creation has sure been a long time on its way. So was it worth the wait? Meh.. wasn't horrible.

The first 20-30 minutes of build-up where we get to know the characters were quite good. Then the horror elements began and this was when the movie started to piss me off. You would think that a guy like Shimizu would have a lot more imagination and creativity than just pulling off the same kind of scare over and over again. But nope, not in this movie. What we constantly get is a hint of something scary starting to happen, then we see a passengers horrified face, and then CUT. Next scene. This goes on and on until the twist at the very end. A twist that reminded me of a very bad shyamalan movie. Didn't make any sense whatsoever. And before that, no real climax. In conclusion, this was a pretty entertaining but not very satishfying effort.

So once again, bow your head in shame, Shimizu. I expect MUCH more from you.

Something's out there...

Gripping, intriguing and tense throughout. It takes a lot for a contemporary horror film to keep me interested till the very end, and this is one of the few which did. There's plenty of nods to Predator, the Bermuda Triangle, Erich Von Daniken, Djinns, Hindu mythology and folklore of old, and all of it plays out like a well-made low-brow X-Files episode. And I mean that in a very good way.

Recommended to everyone who hasn't seen this underrated film yet.

This amazing horror-fantasy offering from Russia is not for the visually sensitive, as its director has one foot in the S. Raimi style and another in that of P. Jackson. I was unfamiliar with the folklore that inspired this spectacle, but suffice to say, my new acquaintance with it lends little thematic value to what I witnessed. There is plenty of obvious (and superfluous) symbolism of religion and classism. Check this out (ignore the user-added music):

Semi-decent British effort involving a post-apolcalyptic scenario where scientists are busy perfecting the one true alive A.I. which would be the solution to all their problems, including war. Intriguing for the most part, although production values were questionable.

The biggest part of the movie is set inside the spacecraft.
It's one of those slower movies where the story and the atmosphere are more important.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p433/sanjidparvez/ThePossessionofMichaelKing_zpsa2171f37.jpg

After losing his wife, a stupid guy deliberately gets involved with black magic & demonic ritual stuffs to prove this all are bullshits & there's nothing in afterlife. And he eventually gets what he bargained for. Overall, nothing new...an average forced found footage flick.

When I saw the trailer for "The Possession of Michael King", I started laughing so hard. Really? You're gonna do all this possession shit ON YOURSELF? I don't believe in that stuff either, but why would you do that on yourself??

"Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" 3/10

I was bored to tears throughout this movie. Even Steve Carell was dull as hell. And I didn't even get to see the end of the world. I FEEL CHEATED!!! ::mad::

Demon Wind -- 6.5/10; This '90 flick features terrible acting, terrible dialogue, and a terrible sound design, but when it tries its best to channel the spirit of The Evil Dead, it is not without success. The director manages to maintain a nice spooky atmosphere in the rural setting (i.e. he doesn't resort to the standard perpetual close-up that plagues many a low-budgeter). I found its mustard-oozing, cop-feeling demons lovably vile, and give kudos to the production team for making a fair attempt at showing on the screen the demon that graces the movie poster.

Viy -- 9.5/10

This amazing horror-fantasy offering from Russia is not for the visually sensitive, as its director has one foot in the S. Raimi style and another in that of P. Jackson. I was unfamiliar with the folklore that inspired this spectacle, but suffice to say, my new acquaintance with it lends little thematic value to what I witnessed. There is plenty of obvious (and superfluous) symbolism of religion and classism. Check this out (ignore the user-added music):

You should watch the original, amazing for its time.

The Frozen Ground -- 2.5/10; Another crime drama inspired by true events that was more uninspired than the average tv crime drama. C'mon, Cusack, pick some better scripts.

The Guest (2014)

http://s3.postimg.org/kxzz7pilv/guest.jpg

Probably my own fault for looking forward to this one. The posh english sap from Downton Abbey plays a returning Vet in this thriller from the guy who made You're Next. It's enjoyable enough though totally over done, queue chilling music as the anti-hero stares menacingly and the 'reveal' is half explained and half baked. I think I needed another 2 cans of cider to totally enjoy this one.

9/10

This was a direct-to-DVD film, but this should have gotten at least a limited release. The movie was incredibly suspenseful, intense, simple, and taut. I really liked the relationship between the brother and sister (that really made the movie so much better to me), and the twist ending was definitely a surprise. This is one of the best thrillers that has come out in the last few years. I highly recommend it.

The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p433/sanjidparvez/ThePurgeAnarchy_zps67156253.jpg

Surely a good improvement than the first one (which was just another home invasion flick) as this time it starts off with the chaos in the streets & focuses more about the 'Purge'. Though I was guessing the 3rd installment would be an all break-out revolution and the end of the Purge era but the Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Purge:_Anarchy#Prequel) says the producers are interested for a 'Prequel'...which will focus on the Revolutionaries and the very first purge.

Tales From The Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood (1996)

Not big on comedy-horror but this was better than expected, if you can stand Dennis Miller. Recommended for vampire fans looking for a light-hearted spin on the genre...

Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972)

http://llco.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/040430050925_l.jpg

In the 16th century, the ruthless and insane Don Lope de Aguirre leads a Spanish expedition in search of El Dorado.

One of those movies where not that much happens and it's more about the mood and the atmoshere. But well done.
Partially based on facts. The style of the movie influenced Apocalypse Now later on.

Some small bits with animal abuse though.
Nothing vicious or anything but still had me frowning a bit.

"Nymphomaniac vol. 2" 4/10

Pretty much the same as Vol. 1. Same boring story with the same two boring people having the same boring artificial conversations. No wonder Trier had to add 2 hours of porn in his directors cut, which this wasn't.

"The Pact 2" 5/10

A very unnecessary sequel. Only interesting actor/character was Patrick Fischler as a weird FBI agent (or was he?).

"Kristy" 6/10

Story: "When a college girl who is alone on campus over the Thanksgiving break is targeted by a group of outcasts, she must conquer her deepest fears to outwit them and fight back."

This movie had potential to be a very enjoyable cats n' mouse horror flick. If only the crazy cult had consisted of 15 members instead of only 5, and "Kristy" hadn't waited untill the last 15 minutes of the movie to fight back.

What we end up getting is kind of a You're Next rip-off.

Oh yea, another hell ride.

If you've seen (and enjoyed) the first one, check this one out.

Love the tagline: Land of the free, home of the insane. :D
