The Slaughterhouse Massacre

The movie starts in the early 90s with a horny couple deciding that a slaughterhouse is a GREAT place to get laid. They see where animals are killed and how they're killed to be made into dog food. After coming across a couple hanging animals ready to be cut up, the first thing the guy says is ''Eww gross, that's the last time I ever eat dog food.'' ...WHY WOULD YOU A FIRST TIME. No great loss to humanity when he gets a sickle in the back.

Present day and a couple of bland as shit characters decide to check the place out on the anniversary of the couple getting killed. The stupid teens are screaming at fucking nothing when they decide to go in. Literally there is NOTHING to be freaked out over yet, and they're just screaming.

Things aren't so bad when the killer finally shows up. He's smart mouthed white trash and quite entertaining. Wish he had more teens to kill. My question is; why when you make it OUT of the building harboring an undead murder, WOULD YOU GO BACK IN. Stupid fucking... And why did it take til morning to send a patrol car!

And what the hell is with the redundant techno music that sounds like it needs to be in a porno rather than here.

And you don't need to strip in order to escape a serial killer.

Stoners don't survive horror movies go back and try again.

The end credit music sounds like whale songs.


TLDR; lol no.
This movie was just awful.

I watch them so you don't have to. Roger Cobb (from the original) is killed in a car accident after visiting the "House" with his wife and daughter. The wife decides to honour Cobb's attachment to the house and move in after his death. She starts to experience all manner of things supernatural and ridiculous.

http://www.chud.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Children-of-a-Darker-Dawn-03.png

Written and directed by Jason Figgis. I had corresponded with him many times when I first opened my forum. He gave me a screener through FB messages but alas I lost that account so I never watched this..until now on Amazon Prime.

Ireland. A virus of some sort attacks only the parents of children/teens and of course the world falls apart and the children have to make it on their own. The parents go mad and then their bodies break down and they die. They never infected the children, its not walkingdeadesque.

I really liked this and as it went on I grew quite fond of it. The dialog was fierce, back and fourth, back and fourth. That was interesting and of course the accents are amazing. There were some amazing scenes but it ran at a very slow pace but I welcomed that. : )

Great job Jason on this film, wonderfully done.

Take Shelter 2011

Curtis, a father and husband, is starting to experience bad dreams and hallucinations. Assuming mental illness, he seeks medical help and counseling. However, fearing the worst, he starts building an elaborate and expensive storm shelter in their backyard. This storm shelter threatens to tear apart his family, threatens his sanity and his standing in the community, but he builds it to save his family's life.

Its dull. Not much happens besides these visions/dreams that are not worth watching for. The acting is mediocre. Michael Shannon plays the same same exact character from Boardwalk Empire, minus the name and period attire. In this case he might be developing schizophrenia or predicting events. I couldn't stand to watch more than an hour. I just jumped to the end to find out what was going to happen. Pass on this.

This was actually good, all about demons following him and the insanity he went through when he was the only one that could see them.. They were really cool looking when spotted.

I liked the whole family and that's rare for me cause I do not really care for children in horror films unless they are murderous little bastards. I thought this was gonna be jump scare heaven but was not. It had nice FX and really started all the poltergeist shenanigans right away...cover that with the gorgeous and funny Sam and that equals an entertaining hour and a half.

Inside Out (2015)

After a slightly disappointing run for Pixar in the last few years with movies like Monsters University and Cars 2, the power house of animation gives us their most thematically complex film since Wall-E. In Inside Out , the life of an eleven-year old girl named Riley is shown to be controlled by five voices inside her head: Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Anger. They control her emotions and affect her memories, but Riley's life is thrown out of control when she moves to San Francisco. Her core memories, the most important ones, are thrown out of the control center as well as Joy and Sadness, so they have to journey back to put Riley's life back on track. The plot itself doesn't contain any big twists or even a villain. It's a seemingly simple tale with huge ambition. Showing what's going on in someone's head is a difficult feat, but Pixar achieves this in such a creative and original way. The ideas presented in Inside Out might fly over younger kids' heads, as there are some rather complex themes here: you can't be happy without experiencing sadness or anger or disgust or fear. They are natural parts of life. The film even deals with depression, identity, and self-worth. Inside Out is undeniably the most enjoyable, hilarious, and entertaining film that incorporates such heavy themes. It's certainly not a movie you will ever forget.

Balls Out aka Intramural (2014)
Average comedy about a group of misfits and college football.
I think it had a lot of potential but there was just something missing.

Wrong Turn (2003)
First time I saw this was around the time it was released.
I liked it a little more than my first viewing but it's still quite average.

Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007)
Better and more entertaining than the first one.
Plenty of blood and gore, some sweet kills, Henry Rollins going Rambo and little bit of humour and nudity.

Weak. It is a remake. Its not its own entity. Too many things taken from the original. And what the original did well, this did not. Besides they very rad iconic line "They're heeeerrrrrrrreee." the original wasn't very cliche. The family reacted as a family would. The weariness was there. Things didn't happen too fast as it did in this remake. Plus this remake had points in it where somebody with major control said "ok we need a laugh...here." and "we need this line showing the parents' bond referenced here." etc. Lastly the original had this great sense of awe and wonder that this film completely lacked.
3/10.
A minor gripe...why use an awful cover of a song? Why not use the great original?

Jurassic World (2015)

Finally, we get a Jurassic Park sequel that isn't completely idiotic and mind-numbingly boring. Jurassic World ignores the events of The Lost World and Jurassic Part III and introduces a new theme park 22 years after the first park closed where dinosaurs roam free, although it's more similar to something similar to Disney World than the original park. In order to spike attendance again, the park has created a new, bigger and scarier hybrid dinosaur, the Idominus rex, but the big guy escapes his enclosure, and it becomes a hunt for the dino before it makes its way to the resort. Jurassic World does take its time until the action really begins. The first act is completely dedicated to showing the park in its normal operational design, and while it is slow, it does try to capture the sense of wonder that the original Jurassic Park had. The dinosaurs in Jurassic World do look fantastic. It's great to just be able to marvel at them for the first 30 minutes. But this is a Jurassic Park movie; we want to see some dinosaur action. Luckily, the movie knows that point when to crank up the action, and it's actually quite jarring. It goes zero to a hundred really quickly. One moment I was watching the dinosaurs, a bit bored by this point, and the next I'm bracing my seat because of the sheer intensity of the film. Jurassic World is a seriously violent and visceral film. It's probably one of the most violent PG-13 movies I've seen since The Dark Knight, but the violence is about on par with the other three films, so you should know what to expect. The slow opening act makes the rest of the movie extremely effective and thrilling, and while Jurassic World didn't have anything as terrifying as the kitchen scene in the original film, there are plenty of scenes that will melt your face off. If you have the chance, go see it in IMAX 3D. It's definitely a movie you need to be completely immersed in to get the full effect. If you're a fan of the original Jurassic Park or you like newer monster movies like Cloverfield and Godzilla, Jurassic World is the movie to see this summer.

It seems to me most horror movies coming out these days are studio films made not to expensively so they can get a decent profit regardless of the quality of the script. Similarly the non-studio(hollywood) films seem to focus on gore and torture porn. None of them are telling good stories or doing a good job of compelling emotion in the watcher. Besides cringing at death scenes or mutilation scenes there isn't much to draw the viewer in. A rare exception would be The Human Centipede. Besides the gore/disgust factor the watcher can feel the distress, horror, and extreme dislocation. The mad doctor is a somewhat amusing counter weight that keeps the viewer able to cope? with what is occurring if they're viscerally engaged.
Another rare example would be Byzantium. While not very gory or horrifying, there's still a great effort to elicit awe and mystery. A counter example would be most torture porn where the, almost always woman which is disturbing, victims become non-entities. Bodies without a person inside them, at least to the viewer. So there's no connection with the characters. Or the story. The victims are props.

Ok i'll stop, could probably go on, but yeah, if I want anyone to read this... :)

Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings (2011)
Worst one so far (or maybe just the most boring one).
Halfway through I lost interest, put on my laptop and left the movie on in the background.
But it wasn't all bad.There was a cool stabbing scene, the ending was good for a laugh and the location. The old psychiatric hospital was the best thing about this movie and would have made a great location for another movie. But not for this one.
Overal an average movie with the usual blood, gore and boobs.

Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines (2012)
I like this one. It was quite alright. Especially for a fifth part in a series.
This time they went with a less serious tone and it definitely made the movie more enjoyable. Everything else was slightly better too compared to the previous ones.
Cast was just ok but not annoying either. Story was simple but good. The special effects and the gore were decent. Lots of brutal and bloody kills.
So if you're in for a little mindless gory fun, you might like this.

I am not a huge fan of horror-comedy, there's only a select few that I truly enjoyed: Black Sheep, Shaun of the Dead, Bruce Campbell's famous trio, Cabin in the Woods are the ones that come to mind right now.

I want to be scared and the last time a movie scared me was when I was 12 yrs old and I watched The Exorcist by myself at like 3am in the total dark. I keep hoping that something will eventually show up and give me at least a little scare. These days, I think most horror movies just entertain me. There has been a few that have given me the chills and that's a plus!!

Honeymoon (2014)

I walked into this movie completely blind. I haven't seen a trailer, read a synopsis, or really heard of this movie today until someone recommended it to me. It ended up being a really creepy and weird movie. Honeymoon is about two newlyweds on their honeymoon, Paul and Bea, but it takes a turn for the worst when Paul finds Bea dazed and confused in the middle of the woods one night. The film's structure reminds me of Paranormal Activity or The House of the Devil; not much really happens until the final act, but when it does happen, it's crazy scary. The tension builds up very nicely for the first hour and leads to an excellent payoff. What's nice about Honeymoon is that it allows us some time to get to know the two characters before we get into the meat of the story, which always helps a horror film. It might be a little slow for some people more attuned to a constant barrage of scary faces and gore, but if you like your movies heavy on atmosphere and tension, Honeymoon is the perfect movie.

8/10

Search Party (2014)
Slightly better than average comedy but mainly because of the cast.
Not really big names but a lot of familiar faces made this roadtrip movie good enough.

Bound to Vengeance aka Reversal (2015)
"A young girl, chained in the basement of a sexual predator, escapes and turns the tables on her captor."
I thought this was going to be similar to Hard Candy but it's something different. Only the ending felt a bit cheap.

Texas Chainsaw

Here I go again. Delving into a new (to me) franchise and I'm starting with the remake. At least I think it's the remake... It's all they have on Netflix and it's leaving soon so. Watching the remake first worked out with Fri13th (the first three I love way more than the remake), soo... *shrug* I've always been hesitant to watch these for some reason. Guess that ends tonight.

Stupid cliche characters doing stupid, predictable cliche things. The gore looked awful as the blood looked like it was added via CGI. The town was fucking sick in the head more so than Leatherface was by going after this girl, who was only a fucking BABY at the time of all this and was purely innocent of any happenings done by her family. The ending was... questionable? No one in their right mind would make the decisions that the characters did in this movie. Especially when the chick decided to stay on the place and look after her cousin. It was kind of cute in its own messed up manner but seriously... they're all just fucking nuts.

The plot needed work.
It's all too vague. I asked Adam Green on Facebook for more info but he didn't want to explain because then that would be then the "official explanation" would be out. And he seems to like all the different fan theories on the story.
Personally I think he doesn't even have an explanation.
In hindsight, it was a combination of him doing self promoting and a chance for the creature designer to show some of his work.

Escape from Tomorrow (2013)

Someone definitely wasn't having a Disney day when they came up with this movie. It's the film equivalent to drawing a dick onto a cartoon character. Escape from Tomorrow is a satirical dark comedy film about a man named Jim who is having the worst day at Disney World you could possibly imagine. He descends into a living nightmare after getting fired from his job on the last day of vacation and a chance encounter with two underage French girls, and he learns that bad things can happen even at the Happiest Place on Earth. This was definitely made by a man who wants to show that Disney isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Now I love going to Disney World, and I love most of their movies and the characters and all that, so I guess that's why I thought this was a rather uneven movie. I do have to commend Escape from Tomorrow for just how incredibly ambitious it was. Most of the film was shot at Disneyland or Disney World without any permits. That alone made me want to watch it, and the guerilla filmmaking added a rather disturbing and twisted layer to an already dark film because almost everything is genuine Disney. Spaceship Earth is real, the Contemporary is real, and the guests are all real.The director, Randy Moore, obviously had a lot on his mind when he was creating the film. All the conspiracies about Walt Disney, rumors of decapitations on roller coasters, and the screaming children everywhere gave him a lot of material to work with in showing Disney World as the imperfect place it really is. At times, however, it did seem as if Moore had too much he wanted to say. There were lots of ideas presented that never carried past those certain scenes, and that made the film rather unfocused. It goes on these tangents about how the princesses are in a secret ring of prostitutes and some bizarre cat flu, but those ideas are never developed. Other than that, Escape from Tomorrow did get dull at times. The entire film was told from Jim's point of view, but the problem with that is that his mind isn't terribly interesting. We're pretty much watching a man go through a mid-life crisis. Most of the movie is dedicated to just watching him look depressed while waiting in line for Buzz Lightyear or riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The execution of the movie is ultimately its downfall, but there's no denying its thought-provoking themes. Jim desperately wants his youth back so that he can get an escape from tomorrow (see what I did there?) Jim's wife doesn't even want him to touch her, his son's a brat, and he just lost his job. He finds and stalks these two teenage French girls and neglects his kids like some 20-something year-old which finally causes him to lose his sanity and start hallucinating and drinking. Escape from Tomorrow is a film with a lot of ambition and ideas, but it's bogged down by its somehwat dull execution. However, it is still interesting to see how they pulled off this stunt without Disney suing them (the company chose to just ignore the film). Whether you think Disney is a fantastic place filled with wonder or a land filled with fake magic and corporate greed, it's essential for any horror buff to see guerilla filmmaking in its rawest form.

Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p433/sanjidparvez/Insidious3_zpsdsnpzpyv.jpg

It started slowly. Jump scares were occasional, there was no rush for it. Writer Leigh Whannell in his directorial debut, kept it simple with finely constructed narrative. But the best part was the way he carefully injected emotional & moving contents into some of the characters & their dialogs about losing & missing the loved ones. But I thought Dermot Mulroney's character as the father of 2 young children deserved little more attention in that area particularly. Overall, pretty good; decently creepy & entertaining. The best in the series, IMO; as I'm not a big fan of the earlier 2 'chapters'.

I was able to finish the film so it gets 4/10. Very very predictable. Lots of needless use of characters and audience deception/misdirection. I had it figured out about 1/4th the way through. The only good part of the film was the main actress. She played the character perfectly. I believed everything she did. If you have nothing else to do and you don't feel like watching anything better, go ahead and watch. For me it was very disappointing.

I guess they felt there was no need to make any build up to the werewolf reveal. Lame. And halfway through they reveal WHO the werewolf is too. And Tina Louise was in it too ugh, honey, no you're better than this. ...Took an interesting turn towards the end though, and the characters and wolf were a lot better than they were in The Feeding. Can't say I hated it, but I've certainly seen better. The transformation at least was very entertaining. You do get a better view of the werewolves during the final battle, and they were just precious little hell spawn. And then the movie ends on such an emotional note you forget it was a werewolf movie you watched... As cheesy as it was you wouldn't think it would be that easy to forget either.

SEVERED : FOREST OF THE DEAD 2005

Zombies run rampant in a forest inhabited by tree huggers and lumberjacks.

This movie just seemed to go on without any story or clear resolution. Lacked any lustre. I caught myself wondering why I was watching it. ::sad::

Zombies with treehuggers and lumberjacks? This sounds like it should've been so bad it's good.

Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid
A story that actually makes sense. Didn't think that could happen with larger than average snakes. Good movie though. Good bit of CGI in it but it was balanced enough to not bother me. I'm surprised the annoying characters made it so far into the film. And points for a female character not being useless! Only thing I can really think to complain of is... why did the snake explode? I don't believe gasoline causes explosions... Well it was one of those action thriller types, so I s'pose an explosion had to be in there somewhere.

This movie deserves more credit than it's usually given. True to the films title, it's believed the production of the movie was cursed itself. After filming a good portion of effects with the werewolf, footage was lost. With not enough budget to film the shots over, we're stuck with what we got. The movie most likely would've been a bigger hit than it was had it not been sadly changed.

The Objective 2009

A small group of soldiers in Afghanistan under orders to follow/escort a CIA agent in search of a cleric named Mohammad Bhan. This is not a 'military' movie. Strange things happen, etc.
Its well acted and very well shot. The characters were too two-dimensional though. Not the fault of the actors, but the script. The story is good, one or two things were not explained enough for me. There is a lot that is not explained, but that is part of the enjoyment of the film. Wondering what things mean, what they are, etc. Its not a what's real what's not film. The ending is very good. You want to see more/know more about the story. A sequal should have been done. Also quite a few special effects were very simply made and pulled off well. Not sure how much effort went into others.

The Haunting of Whaley House
Not bad. Or at least I've seen much worse. The ghost effects and story were fairly good. Then of course the characters start making stupid decisions and then the predictable death rate. I don't think the ending knew where it was going. It had an attention grabbing idea about crossing a dead family over to the other side in the beginning, and then the just forgot about that plot point. Seriously, what a disappointment. And why does the music sound like it should be from an 80's horror film like Fright Night or something.

Thai horror black magic flic. Weak story, weak gore, all the aspects of the story are glossed over. The only thing good was the acting, but with a bad script it doesn't make the movie worth it. I only finished it for the novelty of hearing the language coupled with the way people moved their bodies/faces.

Shark Week
*Notices before watching* Oooooh yaaaaay another film from The Asylum. I hope they don't loose the plot this time. Can't even get real shark footage. Aren't we off to a godawful start.
The story itself isn't too bad. Classic vengeance tale with sharks as a weapon. And stupid as shit characters through bad acting of course. The effects though. Good lord why do we encourage these shit effect films.

Scary Movie
I quite enjoy it. Certainly better than the sequels. or at least most of the sequels

Munger Road
I liked it. The build up was good, nice and suspenseful despite a bit of a slow start. They didn't reveal the killer. Didn't show his face. Just bits and pieces and just let the suspense and stories told by the more experienced officer build up the fear of him rather than depending on the face of a demented killer or anything physical. I wanted to complain how it ended. It was predictable (some of the things he did is just not possible when still alive), but then it ended up being 'to be continued'. Soooo I guess save the rest of my judgement for after a possible part two? I don't know. I would probably watch it again at some point. And it had the guy from xmen in it who turned to a goo mutant (he was the before mentioned cop) so that was interesting.

Killer Instinct
Getting soooooo tired of movies trying to freak me out with snakes that aren't even venomous. Milk snakes are very different from corals thank you. That aside I'm a little confused on how to rate this. It's like they took two movies and tried to put them together. I mean how mood killing is it to go from one scene killing off a kid in a tub of boiling water to cut to another scene with two people having a talk in a diner. The strong female characters were refreshing though. About all I can say for it. The ending was predictable-ish. I'm surprised only one out of towner was the only one to notice the connection between the victims.

The Town That Dreaded Sundown
I liked it enough. But seriously, what is it with characters making dumb as fuck decisions. And I don't think we ever find out for sure who the original killer was? Even so I recommend a watch.

The Gallows (2015)

Unsurprisingly, this movie has gotten a lot of hate around the internet. With a 4.7 on IMDb based on only 164 ratings, a 16% on rotten tomatoes and a 31 on metacritic, you'd expect this to be a complete disaster. Fortunately, The Gallows is a surprisingly intense and effective little found footage flick that has a few good scares up its sleeve. The Gallows is a supernatural found footage film about a group of teenagers who break into their school the night before a play, appropriately titled "The Gallows", so that the show can't go on. However, 20 years earlier, a freak accident happened during the same play that resulted in the death of Charlie Grimelle, the star of the show. For the most part, this film is rather tight and controlled. Clocking in at a criminally short 81 minutes, this does allow the movie to move at a pretty brisk pace, but a few scenes do feel rather rushed. Some of the scares do fall flat because of this and go for a jump scare that would have been much more effective if there wasn't a "big whoosh sound". Other than those few scenes, there are quite a few well-timed jump scares and a lot of incredibly intense and scary scenes that, luckily, don't end on a dramatic jump scare. Watching the four characters roaming the dark, empty corridors of their school is rather unnerving, especially when they find hidden rooms underneath the school. The sound also makes this movie very atmospheric and unsettling. The Gallows isn't without its glaring problems. This movie definitely won't win any awards in the originality department, and the acting (something I usually never mention) is largely uneven from a couple of the cast members, but the worst thing about The Gallows is the atrocity that is the ending. I don't want to spoil anything, but the big plot twist at the end was insanely predictable and cheesy. It was almost as if the filmmakers couldn't come up with a decent way to end the movie, so they just wrapped it up with some lame plot twist that makes no sense at all. That might have been why this was only 81 minutes. The worst thing about the ending is that it actually created more questions than it answered, which really frustrated my friend and me. Despite the absolutely awful ending, The Gallows does not deserve the scorn it's been getting on the Internet. It's a very intense and sometimes scary movie, and it's definitely a movie you'll want to watch in the theater.

It reminded me of Evil Dead too. Weird house/cabin in the middle of the woods and no way to leave. Blair Witch Project also came to mind.
Acting and casting was also better than average for this sort of movie.
Too bad the script was a bit of a mess because the movie had plenty of potential.

This is a kinda slow moving comedy/drama/mystery that is very well directed with quite a lot of laughs, and the comey is definiety the strong point as it's not your typical light humor. On top of that it has an obscure story you difinitely haven't seen beffore.

Session 9 (2001)

I found a list of "best ghost movies," and now I'm set for like the rest of the month. This ended up on that list, and while it's not exclusively a supernatural flick, I wasn't disappointed. Session 9 follows an absestos cleaning crew as they work inside an abandoned mental hospital. One of the characters, Mike, finds a collection of old tapes that chronicle sessions of Mary Hobbes, who has disassociative identity disorder. Each of her "personalities" mention a man named "Simon," who may be linked to a suppressed memory that Mary has. Session 9 is a slow-burner; it builds up a dense atmosphere and sense of dread until the final act becomes exceptionally creepy and intense. It's much more unsettling than outright scary, and that's the perfect mood for this type of movie. The tapes that Mike listens to are increasingly unnerving and create a lot of suspense as to who exactly "Simon" is. When "Simon" finally speaks in the 9th session, it's incredibly scary and memorable. Along with an extremely talented cast, beautiful cinematography and an ambiguous ending that could create hours of discussion, Session 9 is a very creepy and atmospheric psychological horror film.

It Follows

I liked it. Entertaining, paced well, acting was decent enough. I mean there wasn't any fantastic dialogue or need for fantastic expression and poise of some sort besides the main actress. She did a decent job, not great, but not bad. I didn't get bored and the time went by fast. What I found a bit amusing was that everyone was dressed as if it was the 80's in the suburbs of NJ and the more run down house/rural parts of the movie reminds me of parts of southern NJ. And the abandoned warehouses reminded me of the outskirts of Trenton years ago. But I don't think it was filmed there. I'd recommend it.
6/10

More thoughts, SPOILERS TO FOLLOW:

What I really liked was that they did not spend a long time with the character trying to make people believe her and no one doing so. Her friends/sisters quickly supported her and when It attacks her friends/sisters witness the physically visible parts of the attack. The sheet thrown over It was a great. I'm so tired of movies where nobody believes the main character and they either die because they do not believe or the character has to run somewhere else to find someone who won't believe the character. So that made me happy.

Get Hard (2015)
A bit too average for a Will Ferrell comedy.
But it's still Will Ferrell so it wasn't that bad. His faces, yelling and dialogue always make me laugh in some way.

Infini (2015)
Sci-fi/horror/thriller with elements of Aliens and Event Horizon.
For someone who's not big on sci-fi I thought it was alright.

Mad Max Fury Road

Enjoyable. Entertaining. Visually awesome. Didn't really pay attention to the acting quality, too much explosion and crashing. Its not a powerful film, but that's not the point. Its an excuse to show lots of special effects and action.

SPOILERS:

However. A woman saving women brought to a group of elderly, but still buff women who work together to conquer. Yes Max was involved as was one of the white skinned boys, but they were adjuncts to the Charlize Theron show. This made me happy.

Minions (2015)

If you've ever seen Despicable Me or its sequel, you will definitely remember the little yellow tic-tacs called the Minions. They stole the show in almost every scene they were in, and they were memorable and cute little sidekicks. However, too much of a good thing isn't necessarily a good thing, and the origin story for the Minions is the perfect example of that. Minions shows what those little bananas did before they met Gru as they journey to the International Supervillain Convention in 1968 and become henchmen to the world's most notorious villain, Scarlet Overkill. The issues with Minions are present from the very first scene and continue throughout the entire film. Much of the humor, as agonizing as this sounds, is supposed to come from the way the Minions talk. That wears out its welcome extremely quickly as you can imagine. Even the jokes that don't concern the Minions are reused numerous times throughout the film, making this movie tedious and repetitive. That could be somewhat forgiven if Minions had interesting characters or a compelling enough story, but unfortunately, this film has none of that. The Minions aren't exactly dramatic characters; they're always the sidekicks, destined to be overshadowed by the villains they serve. Even Scarlet Overkill is a fairly generic villain. She doesn't have any sort of special powers or a unique personality to distinguish herself from other power-hungry female villains. There's never any sort of drama or development with her character. Now onto the unfocused and rushed plot. If you have the attention span of a goldfish, you might find the plot of Minions to be fun, but anyone else will feel like they're being suffocated by the insanity of this film. This movie just never takes a break. There's never a moment where you can calm your senses from the insanity of the previous scene, and it's not because it's some action-packed spectacle. It seemed like the filmmakers were trying to fit as much as they possibly could into each scene so that much younger kids wouldn't be bored. Minions might entertain the least demanding moviegoers and their very young children, but anyone else should stay away from the contrived plot, tired jokes and dull characters littered throughout this movie.

3/10

Average zombie romcom.
Last 15 minutes are the best. It includes a fun cameo.
Also Alexandra Daddario is freakin' cute.

Not great but better than average.
Too bad most of the violence was off screen or in between scenes.

Silent House (American Remake) -

This was advertised as a horror movie. And one that seemed like a good one. From the beginning I felt something was off. I liked the one take nature or how they edited it to look like one take. And I thought it would be a movie I would watch again just to find the editing points. However, this isn't a real horror movie. It's an LMN type movie pretending to be a horror movie. Kind of like The Ward, it's a horror movie for women. It's almost kind of obvious at the beginning too with a character that just didn't seem like the character he should be. The best thing was the one take element and the performance of the lead actress.

I was going to pass on the original because of this movie but it seems like the original is a bit different. So I'll still check that out one day.

Ghostwatch (1992)

Before Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project and even the criminally underrated The Last Broadcast was Ghostwatch. While it didn't really define found footage like the aforementioned movies did (technically, 1980's Cannibal Holocaust was the first to do it), it was one of the first films to have the characters film a majority of their scenes. Ghostwatch is a mockumentary about four respected presenters and their camera crew who attempt to discover the truth behind the most haunted house in the UK, which first aired in 1992. Ghostwatch is complete with testimonials, calls to the set from viewers, and live footage shot by the camera crew, making the viewer feel like they're watching a legitimate documentary. This does start out rather slowly, making the most of the documentary-style filmmaking, but after that gimmick starts to wear off, the film switches to more of a horror film. The last half of the plot takes twists and turns that you'll never predict while still scaring you senseless. If you're a fan of mockumentaries or ghost movies in general, you don't want to pass up Ghostwatch.

Went to see The Gallows last night and was surprised. My prediction that I would either love it or loathe it was wrong. I ended up just feeling kind of...lukewarm about it. It's silly and at times it's fun, particularly when the script deftly draws humor from "theater people" stereotypes, but where's the scares??
The movie seemed to rely solely on jump scares to create tension, which to me, doesn't work. Without tension and some believable drama, the jumps are just gratuitous. I liked the people in the movie, even the as8hole we all are supposed to hate, ( and yes he was obnoxious, which means the actor did his job ), but the movie never creates any palpable fear or anxiety so it fails as horror. I also found the last 5 minutes of the film pretty comedic, and I'm sure that wasn't the filmmakers intention.
I think it was a fun watch, and if you have low expectations and a great buzz, you might at least have a good time. It's frivolous and you wont remember anything about the movie 48 hours later, but it's goofy enough to entertain. If you're looking for a scary movie with a strong story and a plot that isn't totally transparent, search elsewhere my friends.

What I mean by a horror movie for women is just that. The movie probably works better if you are a woman. And definitely on second viewings it will be more towards women. I mentioned The Ward because they are similar movies.


Here is my review on The Ward that will better explain my feelings -


WARNING THERE ARE SPOILERS THAT WILL RELATE TO BOTH MOVIES!!!


http://horror.com/forum/showpost.php?p=961451&postcount=1085


In Silent House I did find myself attached to the main character, what was happening, and how or if she was going to escape. But once the final act happened, the majority of the first parts collapsed just like in The Ward. What I thought was going to happen did even though I really hoped there would be more to it. It is like those LMN movies with the troubled, broken, divorced, etc. woman. And I just think that the movie will have more impact on women. Or maybe people that went through traumatic experiences when young.

Deep in the Darkness 2014

A doctor and his family move to a quiet, small town. Soon he discovers the town's dark secret.

The first scene of the film is a scene near the end of the film. I REALLY do not like when this is done. It did not add anything to the film. Its slow for about 30 minutes, then goes a lot faster and becomes a lot more interesting for 20 minutes. Then it gets slow again until the end. The slow parts aren't interesting. The fast parts are good, not great. The very end was pathetic.
I'd say fast forward until the doctor finds the 'dark secret.' And then watch for 20 minutes and then shut if off.

New Kids Nitro (2011)
"The boys get into a feud with a rival crew from a nearby village.
Meanwhile a meteorite causes a zombie outbreak."

New Kids Turbo and New Kids Nitro are hard R-Rated Dutch comedies based on a sketch show.
Constant swearing, lots of drinking, ultra-violence,... Even a couple of kids die on screen.
Anyway, it was my second viewing and I still found them pretty funny.
But the humour's not for everyone and I don't know how well it translates to English.

Still lost. Having not seen either examples the impression of the movie isn't the same when reading a review. Could you use a more well known example and explain further? Like what gender you think the Halloween series is geared towards?

I Know What You Did Last Summer

I swear Sarah Michelle Geller is an immortal. That aside. I've never seen this before, but it's making me nostalgic for high school. It's painfully accurate within the first half hour how we have all these talents and dreams and hopes of achievements for after school. Then not even a year later everything goes to shit and you're still living with your parents working a shit job to make ends meet. ...Oh and there's a dead guy who wasn't dead but is now dead.

I'm actually very impressed with the characters. A bit cliche but each of them still unique in a way. You feel sorry as hell for Geller's character. I may have rambled before and it was her situation I was referring too. Just when you think her life is shit enough, ol' hook hand comes a knockin'.

I realize it's Hewitt's character we're supposed to feel sorry for but shit she's so Mary Sue. I do love how he toys with her though. It's so amusing to watch her go crazy with the waiting.

JFC I wish Geller's ex would get axed. Why the hell would hook-hand let him live after knocking him over with a car. He's so fucking intolerable. Always overly angry, aggressive, and abusive IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDS AND TO HIS FRIENDS. Hell I would've thrown him in the river with the "dead" guy.

Hewitt's ex on the other hand is a bit of a Gary Stu. Poor, pretty, angsty. Doesn't want to grow up to be daddy but whoops I'm a fisherman now. Bet he and Hewitt are the only survivors.

After movie: Called it. Why the hell does Ray or whatever his name is try so hard to keep Hewitt's character alive. She did nothing but push him away and accuse him. Bland as toast without butter both of you. Get axed in a sequel.

I actually did like this though. Mostly because of the mystery and actual build up to kills. Didn't kill them right away, toyed with them a little, nice and suspenseful. I would watch again.

Wouldn't dream of rating a movie i didn't finish.

I've only done that ever with one movie: Freddy's Dead. I stopped with 20 minutes left at the part where she gets the 3D glasses to "look past Freddy's tricks," and that's when I knew I wasn't watching an ANOES movie; I was watching some horrible parody of it masked as a sequel.

That was perfect.
Walken is freakin' great. He's a grade-A actor, class act and doesn't mind doing silly stuff.
Seen his SNL sketches with Will Ferrell? Or the Fatboy Slim music video.
Brilliant stuff.

Had a fantastic idea shaving this morning. You know how they make trailers showing the audience reaction? You should sign up for that for the new Paranormal Activity. It would be the ultimate reaction video and get to see it for free.

Terminator Genisys.
I enjoyed it...which I couldn't really say of any terminator film since the second one...
A *touch* heavy on the comedy and self-piss-taking, bot overall it was an interesting entry into the franchise, one I'd actually watch again.

This one really impressed and surprised me. It's one of the best found footage movies in years.

>>> 10/10

I watched this with my parents and they didn't get it. They thought it was supposed to be a joke. But then again I don't think they've seen a found footage movie since Blair Witch.

I thought it was pretty good. I like Mark Duplass. Humpday was great, and The Puffy Chair was enjoyable. He was pretty creepy but also funny in this one, but the plot was a bit too simplistic to get higher than 7/10 from me, which is what I gave it.

Ant-Man (2015)

I typically don't like superhero movies because a lot of them are just watching New York getting demolished for the 40 millionth time or a bunch of fist fights (*cough* Avengers and Man of Steel *cough*), but I actually liked this. It was more of a heist movie than action, which made it unique.

Yeah, it was a great film. Very well acted, written, shot, etc. The psychology of the people involved was well done too, though I would've liked to seen more about how they actually became what they were.

I think I reviewed it too, but searching through the forum only links you to the thread, not an individual post. alas.

Very good. The house is interesting. The voice overs used throughout the film are very well done. It was a good way to keep the audience, at least me, interested in the film. The ending was fantastic. I even sat/lay a little while during the credits to ponder the film. Definitely worth seeing

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
8,75/10 (8,5 wouldn't be enough but 9's too much)

+First of all, kudos to the director. Most of the movie looked absolutely amazing.

-Tom Hardy's overrated. He's good but not great. And his voice is strange but not in a good way.
-The title could've easily just been Fury Road with Charlize Theron as the main character as it was more about her character than Hardy's (her performance was also the best imo).
I understand attaching the name of a known franchise is better from a commerical point of view. But I'm more in favour of starting new franchises instead of rebooting old ones.
-Max doesn't have enough depth. For a movie of two hours you'd expect they have the time to expand a little more on his character.
-I hoped for a little less explosions and a little more bloody violence.

A young woman brutally murders a group of her friends while all of them were trying to summon spirits. Years later a group of ghosthunters return to the scene to determine what really happened.

It wasn't horrible...a little frantic at times. The ghosthunters appeared to know their stuff and were reasonably professional as opposed to a group of teenagers spending the night with a video camera.

Quite alright. Some brutal kills. Bit cheap towards the end but still entertaining enough.

That's funny. I didn't know women needed cats in horror movies.


::big grin::
My thoughts exactly.


Still lost. Having not seen either examples the impression of the movie isn't the same when reading a review. Could you use a more well known example and explain further? Like what gender you think the Halloween series is geared towards?

I'm sure you don't mean insult by your comment, I'm just genuinely curious.

Of course I don't mean to be insulting. Chronogirl didn't take it as an insult when I posted The Ward review back then. Perhaps you should see both movies. They are on cable channels now.

And I haven't seen the full Halloween series in a while. But the original Halloween is the perfect horror movie for all audiences. Halloween 3 is a good movie too.

Maybe the subject or cause of the horror monsters can be talked about more when people watch both The Ward and Silent House. It does seem to be in the news recently.




To the person who said that a certain movie was made for women: ::stick out tongue::


I watch a lot of violent, gory, action-packed, massive cussing type of movies so what is your comment regarding to that? Not every chic is into sappy romantic movies (present company included) so maybe you should eliminate comments like that since you don't know any of us.


Again it wasn't meant as an insult. Just on the type this sort of horror movie might have more appeal towards. Did you watch both The Ward and Silent House? What did you think? Have you ever come across LMN movies? What do you think of those? If you want a movie with a kind of similar structure that to me is more towards both men and women check out High Tension.

And of course I know some women like horror movies. But I believe it's safe to say it's not as big of an audience as those that like romantic comedies.

ImmortalSlasher, I think all women like seeing horror movies. They like cuddling up close to their dates and covering their eyes during the scary scenes. It's a thrill. When I went to the I Spit On Your Grave re-make a few years back, the majority of the audience were women and were laughing and enjoying it.

I think my opinion falls closer to Roiffalo's on this one. I watched it and more or less enjoyed it, but I was left wondering what exactly was entertaining about it. Maybe I was in the perfect mood for a new movie and Oculus benefitted from that. I should give this a second look and try and determine what the hell kept me watching.

Dead Girl 2008

Sigh. Yet another woman victim being abused sexually/physically. Throughout most of the movie she's meat. No personality, no name. If this was a rare movie I could appreciate the depravity and disgust it instills, but this shit is everywhere in movies.
The synopsis on shudder.com says, "...that turns the conventions of horror and coming-of-age movies - not to mention bad boy behavior and rape culture - on their heads."

Are you fucking kidding me? On its head? How the fuck is that?
SPOILERS:
Because she gets free and kills her captors? She was still raped repeatedly, beaten repeatedly, shot, and poked. This isn't rape culture turned on its head, its an example of it. Bad boy behavior? Its sadistic vile behavior.

Anyway, pass on this film.

Well this is a shock.

A friend of mine recommended this movie to me, and from what little review I've seen it people seem too really like it. Although Netflix has 3 stars for it so even they seem uncertain how good or bad it is. Either way I'm glad I wasn't the only one in my opinion. Maybe my taste in movies isn't that bad after all. ::big grin::

I think what kept me watching it was that the story was actually well told... Unlike Man of Steel where the flashbacks were confusing as fuck, stupid, and unnecessary. Oculus told what it needed too without wasted scenes or scares. Hence why I'm baffled I was disappointed by it. Maybe it was the same with 'Houses October Built' where I grew to like the characters and was disappointed by the ending because it didn't go well for them.
