Ouija -

The trailer sold me on this one a while ago. Also it has the actress from Bates Motel. I thought she was pretty good in that. Also, one of the actresses from The Secret Circle. The male actors are bland though. No standouts. This movie might not be the best but it's not the worst either. It has a few good scares that got me. Also, I wasn't ahead of this one and it surprised me. The setup at times reminded me of Nightmare on Elm Street. With a darker tone and a bit more thought, the movie could be better. Maybe even close to a movie like the remake of The Ring with more effort. I think maybe the people behind the scenes might have wanted it not too dark. In the credits I saw that Hasbro worked on this movie. Yes Hasbro the toy company owns the rights to the Ouija board game name. Something I didn't know as I thought these were just generic boards. Anyway, it's not that bad. The only thing kind of jarring was how fast the parents left the kids alone. This sort of thing usually happens in horror movies. But after the events in this movie, you would think they would stay around. All of the adults are like that. It breaks the realism when stupid stuff like that happens. Still far from the worst movie out there.

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 wouldn't say all women. Especially with something like I Spit on Your Grave. I won't even see that. Maybe that was the rare audience. I can't imagine women enjoying watching the first part of that movie. I only watched the original Last House on the Left because it was by Wes Craven. But I wish I didn't see it. That's getting at the subject matter I was talking about in The Ward and Silent House too. It's just really bad behavior.

I remember once I saw a movie and it had a clip from The Shining. I told a girl let's see that. And she said "that's a horror movie." As in no go. I'm sure if I told many people that I met that I liked Friday the 13th movies they would have thought I was crazy. And probably asked why do I like movies where people are just getting killed?

I think that many girls go to some movies just to tag along with their date. Most girls don't really like a comic or Star Wars type movie. Many guys don't but they go to see stuff blow up, because it's marketed to them, or they think they need to see it because everyone else is.

It wasn't a good movie. Only part I enjoyed was Karen Gillan, but that's just depressing 'cause she's so lovely.

I thought I reviewed Oculus. I guess I didn't. I remember thinking it was a good story of why you don't mess with ghost objects. It's almost like a Friday the 13th TV episode without the characters showing up to recover the object. And I liked the object's back story. So much that I want to find the original short film. Karen Gillan was very good in it too. But I thought there was going to be more from the movie from the trailer. Also more of Katee Sackhoff. I think that was disappointing to me.

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.

I know, reviews like that piss me off. Film sounds cliche without having any significance, just same ole torture porn. Film critics are supposed to be well schooled in film history, but unless it's a major news outlet, the reviewer probably is not. Plus all the more 'online' reviews are just movie advertisements.

I remember once I saw a movie and it had a clip from The Shining. I told a girl let's see that. And she said "that's a horror movie." As in no go. I'm sure if I told many people that I met that I liked Friday the 13th movies they would have thought I was crazy. And probably asked why do I like movies where people are just getting killed?

In bold are the exact words my dad asks me when I watch horror. Actually while I was watching Fri13th. (Except the first was more of a murder mystery when you realized what Mrs. Voorhees's motive is, so it's not entirely just a movie about people getting killed but I digress.) I asked my brother if he wanted to watch Poltergeist as he had seen a sequel but not the first, but he was too freaked out by the sequel to give the first a try.

Horror movies in general are not for everybody. If you were to label a group to them that would be best suited watching them, it wouldn't be 'woman' or 'man', it would be something like... 'bold', 'thrill seekers', 'creative types who need an outlet'.

I think that many girls go to some movies just to tag along with their date. Most girls don't really like a comic or Star Wars type movie. Many guys don't but they go to see stuff blow up, because it's marketed to them, or they think they need to see it because everyone else is.

My sister and I (may come of a shock to you but I'm also female) grew up on Star Trek/Wars, Indiana Jones, Superman, Batman, etc. If someone gave me the option of watching the Notebook or gouging my eyes out with a spoon, I'd ask them if they had a grapefruit spoon to make my task easier. Just about every male I know is scared to death of spiders, and some of bats, when I myself have no problem with spiders and am actually very fond of bats (my girlfriend too).

Point being; it's a new century. Stereotypes don't apply anymore, so let's let them get old. What you think may be true for one group is most likely JUST as true for another, therefore how is it fair to associate the one but not the other? The movies you watched you watched because they interested you, where as I'm just as happy to watch something else like Wolfcop. So maybe those two movies that started this all are actually not 'for women' but for 'ImmortalSlasher'.

It'd be nice to see the childish trend of 'everyone else is doing it so I should to' get cut down in its tracks. Do what you want to do. Let people do what they want to do without fear of being judged for it.

(This probably seems long, unnecessarily rant filled, and off topic, but I implore you to consider how you use stereotypes. As in not using them. Movies are for everybody.)

Oy, its not so much the spiders themselves, but how they might feel crawling on me. I have enough of the feeling of bugs crawling on my skin(due to a chronic health problem) that I don't need real ones. :P Not too scared though to catch them in two cups and put them outside.

Nothing wrong with that if you are timid around them. Especially for health reasons. My only point was that sometimes it's the woman and not the man who has to fetch the spider out of the tub and take it outside. 8)

I myself am not fond at all of bees. Well bumblebees and honeybees are okay, but it's the hornets and yellow-jacket types that I do not stand for. I will kill them on sight and without mercy. Unless I am unable to do so, then I'll make whoever is closest to me do it.

Grave Encounters 2

Watching in the wrong order again. My mistake watching this is that it shows footage from the first movie. Probably spoils a lot of scares. But Netflix had the 2nd but not the first that I could see, and the thumbnail finally got to me. Just HAD to try it. First third of the movie is boring as piss and almost just as annoying. I just LOVE IT when they film a shot, then after when he's in his room editing he has to fucking explain what we just saw. Like 'NO FUCKING SHIT YOU JUST SHOWED THE FOOTAGE'.

I love how the movie acknowledges certain character deaths like how the black guy got offed first in the first movie, so instead of changing that horror movie cliche up they naturally off the Asian kid first.

I theorize that the ghosts are angry dinosaur spirits taking human form. Their noises certainly sound like it.

yeah idk. didn't love it. ...didn't particularly like it either. I'm in a state of indifference.

(This probably seems long, unnecessarily rant filled, and off topic, but I implore you to consider how you use stereotypes. As in not using them. Movies are for everybody.)

I like horror movies because of the dark and spooky environments, certain themes, end of the world type stories, and the breaking of certain rules having crazy things happen. Many times you get to see the character of people in these situations. Which is something you don't see in the usual type of movie. And of course I like the strange monsters, aliens, boogeymen, zombies, etc.

I think it's rare from the girls that I've met for them to honestly like Sci-Fi, Horror, Adventure, Comic, Spy and other male type movies. The majority of girls I've met would only watch so they could get a guy. I only met maybe more than a handful that actually like those normally male type movies. Perhaps it's more now. For example back when I grew up there wasn't a huge cosplay market and the Internet was for computer geeks. I know on occasion I read comic articles where girls or women, I don't know, complain about certain female comic character costumes. But these characters were created for a male audience. Not for realism.

Perhaps I am using a stereotype or a generalization, I usually try not to as there is always the person that won't fit in whatever category. As it seems in this case. But there are always many that do as well. I think I'll spoil the two movies in question to clarify my thoughts and why I came to the conclusion and statement that I made.

SPOILERS BELOW!!!

The Ward -

I watched this because it is a John Carpenter movie. Plus the cast looked strong. Here the twist is that the main character is alone and all the other characters are from her imagination. She created them to protect her mind from the trauma of being kidnapped and raped. The killer is the traumatized persona and therapy if I remember correctly wiping out all the other personalities. Even the main character we are watching is just one of the latest imagined characters from the victim.

Silent House -

I watched this one because of the one take nature and the trailer made it look good. Like a scary haunted house type movie. Not a psychological thriller. Again this is another rape twist with the main character reliving some of those past moments in the form of a shadowy non-existent figure and hallucinations. Also she makes up characters while actively going around subduing her Father and Uncle off screen to the audience. Finally killing her Father and potentially leaving her Uncle to die from a gunshot wound.

This sort of thing is not for me and certainly not worth a second watch. If I knew the twist I would not have watched these movies. Maybe I would have watched The Ward just because it's a John Carpenter movie. But I don't think the average guy would if these were sold as what they are. I mentioned LMN movies because you see many broken woman themes in those movies. How do I know that? Because on occasion I'll flip channels and see a notable actress in the movie and either watch some out of curiosity at what the actress in doing in this sort of thing or just read what it's about. It's almost always the same sort of story. According to the wiki and what I've seen that network is aimed primarily at women. Thus my comments about The Ward and Silent House.

Now on other topics: bats, spiders, and horror reviews. Bats are no problem. I used to go crawling through caves and tons of bats were there. Small spiders don't bother me either. It's bigger ones that I thankfully never encounter that freak me out. Probably because of Dr. No and this movie:

Arachnophobia -

I saw this in theaters way back then it was released. It's still a great horror movie. A small little town gets invaded by killer spiders. It sounds like a joke but it's good. Seeing the intelligence of the spider and how it goes for revenge and jumps is freaky. The movie has some comedy bits too with the bug infestation management guy. Also when a spider bites one character he says it felt like a cougar. That always cracks me up that a small spider could bite like a huge animal. This is worth a watch for those who haven't seen it.

The Vatican Tapes (2015)

I haven't had such low expectations for a horror movie in a while. The trailer wasn't flattering at all and made it look like an incredibly generic found footage exorcism flick, and now that I've seen it, I can confirm that that is only half true. Despite the title, it's not a found footage movie, but it is a generic possession movie. In The Vatican Tapes, 20-something year-old Angela (get it?) gets possessed by a demon, but it's not just any demon; it's the Anti-Christ himself. A priest and two Vatican exorcists team up to try to exorcise Angela before it wreaks havoc on humanity. Surprisingly, The Vatican Tapes is actually a movie that gets better as it progresses, although that's really not saying too much. The first act of the film is its worst. Every exorcism movie cliche you could possibly think of is stuffed into twenty excruciating minutes, and it definitely made me fear for the rest of the movie. After that, The Vatican Tapes does get more interesting ever so slightly and has a couple of decent scares because Angela is now in a mental hospital, but still nothing we haven't seen from other, better movies. A black raven has to announce the next "scary scene," which completely ruins any tension the film might have had because the audience is now going to expect the next big obnoxious jump scare. The plot eventually decides that there should be an exorcism scene, and after a particularly lazy attempt to say why Angela is discharged and sent back home, the audience finally gets what they paid for. The exorcism scene itself takes up the last 20 minutes of the movie. It's admittedly pretty cool to watch since there are a few creepy and intense parts, and the pace slows down a bit to allow some atmosphere to build up. There's still this inescapable feeling that everything is still all too familiar to anyone who's seen a good possession movie. Then the ending comes. The ending is actually the only part of The Vatican Tapes that I wholeheartedly enjoyed. It ended the movie in a rather dark and powerful way, so much so that I'd like to see a sequel just to see where they could go with that ending. Even with the surprisingly good ending, it's not enough to warrant a recommendation for The Vatican Tapes, a been-there-done-that exorcism movie that has about as much soul as the possessed Angela. Another day, another exorcism.

A team of professional ghost finders are trapped in an old village hall. The haunting they set out to investigate turns out to be far worse than they anticipated. Who will survive and what will be left of their souls?

High marks. Very well done. Especially because it all takes place in a school class room(hall). 'Hammy', but not. Campy, but not. The guy on the poster is great in the film. Bad things happen in the movie, but I wasn't endeared to the characters. Yet I enjoyed them still. Some of it could seem campy like I said, but it also worked well. The characters were your typical horror movie archetypes, and the very end was predictable. Did not stop me from enjoying it. Its basically a fun movie, not an emotionally gripping/draining film or gore riddled gross out. I do concede a little bias in that I particularly like movies when its about people investigating paranormal stuff. If its done well of course, which it often isn't.

For those who don't know this one. It's about nazis who hid on the moon near the end of the war and are making their return.
It's a fun and original movie with some clever jokes and pretty sweet special effects. And moon nazis!
I think it's has all the elements to become a cult classic.
Now let's hope the sequel will get made as it'll feature Hitler on a T-Rex.

Shakma
(1990, just barely made it in contemporary.)

Even for a monster type flick with a slasher formula this was terrible. A baboon that was tested on is to be put down, only to defy death and kill a bunch of med students playing a DnD game in the building after hours. Sexism, characters making stupid fuck decisions, a killer easy enough to punt across the room to get away from; what's to love.

Make up effects were fairly decent. The one kids face getting melted off in a failed attempt to get away looked fabulous. And it could have maybe been suspenseful when the baboon threw itself at doors to try and get to its victims. But it was so fucking stupid it was just laughable. At least the attack on Gary (I think that was the kid's name) was a great kill. Nice mauling, and the bloody, gaping maw was lovely.

''We're all gonna die! But there's someone waiting by the sidewalk in a car we could get help from! I'll get her attention with... these! *throws silverware and marbles*" I would've gone for the fucking water cooler. And now look. She drove away. Maybe you should've tried plates.

Ending was clever at least. Took Sam long enough to use his fucking head. And these kids were going to be DOCTORS?

Kung Fury (2015)
"In 1985, Kung Fury, the toughest martial artist cop in Miami, goes back in time to kill the worst criminal of all time - kung fuhrer Hitler."

Holy shitballs this 30min movie was a total blast.
It's like a really cheesy 80's action flick with lots of video game influences.
I wish I could tell more, but the less you know the more fun it is.

After 2012

When two bus crash survivors awake to discover that they are the only people left in their small town, they must form an unlikely alliance in a race to unravel the truth behind their isolation. As strange events begin to unfold, they start to question whether the town they know so well is really what it seems.

Its not a horror film. Its a dark fantasy love story. There was no real dread or intense build up of emotion for me. It was just meh. What they find chained to a block halfway through the film was meh. Not very original. As for a love story its still dull, nothing powerful here.

Deliver Us from Evil (2014)

Considering how difficult it is to find a decent modern exorcism flick, it's always nice to find one that will be a visceral and sometimes scary ride. Deliver Us from Evil is one of those movies. Sinister director Scott Derrickson takes the helm of this cop procedural turned possession film Deliver Us from Evil which is based on NYPD sergeant Ralph Sarchie's allegedly "non-fiction" novel Beware the Night. I believe that this is based on true events about as much as I believe that The Conjuring and The Amityville Horror movies are "based on true events", but let's just roll with it. In Deliver Us from Evil, NYPD sergeant Ralph Sarchie, played by Eric Bana, teams up with a priest schooled in the rites of exorcism to investigate a series of crimes around their city. What makes this movie so much different than other exorcism movies is that it is primarily a cop procedural. A lot of the twists and thrills come from Sarchie investigating these crimes and finding new information and evidence, making this a uniquely gritty possession film. Deliver Us from Evil mostly thrives on the unpredictability of the plot rather than gross-out scares, Scott Derrickson's direction also allows some dense atmosphere throughout the entire film. Unfortunately, there are quite a few unnecessary jump scares littered throughout the movie. Some of the jump scares do actually work, but for every one that works, there are two more that fail miserably. It's the biggest drawback to an otherwise good film. Deliver Us from Evil, despite some horror cop-outs (pun definitely intended), is a gritty and surprisingly entertaining exorcism flick that should surprise and even scare you.

Have you seen Arachnophobia? How the scene plays out? It's not quite for comedy but how another character says "it's just a spider" and they show the small spider walk away, then the character says it felt like a cougar. Makes it seem funny. At least to me.

I know animals can do a lot of damage. I still find it crazy that the animal guy who used to play around with all sorts of dangerous alligators and stuff ended up getting killed by I believe a stingray.

Robocop (Original) -

This is sci-fi with a touch of future society horror ideas. This is the first time I've seen it in HD. I like it but it is a very sad and dark movie. I saw it when I was young and although many things were beyond me then, I did realize that the movie was like a warning. Civilized society should never get to this point. Yet it seems like society is speeding to this point if not very close to it. I'm sure some got the warning when the movie was released, others saw it as just an action entertainment movie. I'll probably see the remake one day. I'm sure it's watered down from the original. But those who haven't seen the original Robocop should check it out.

Also in addition to noticing more story elements just because I'm older, seeing the movie in HD made me pick up on something that I didn't truly understand. It's kind of a SPOILER!!!

The birth of Robocop is sad and horrific. But as a kid some dialog went over my head. I always thought they just put Murphy's body in the robotic suit. However now I understand that it's just his brain and a few organs. Looking at the movie in HD you can even tell that his face is kind of strange. Reading more on it they removed his face for Robocop. That's how twisted the corporate scientists are.

The approach was interesting & challenging...to tell a story through live video chat & online texting format; appreciate that part. But other than that it falls pretty flat. Online abuse was the major component in this story & it could be an appealing thing for a film but I wasn't intended to see a girl got drunk & shits on her pants and that crap went viral!!...seriously??!! this all they could come up with when they were thinking about what to show as an online abuse?!? And therefore the background story for a bullied girl turned vengeful ghost gets completely & literary wasted. They either could make it sympathetic, mysterious or pure evil but here with all other characters you'd care less & & less as the film progress. And lastly for a horror film about a vengeful ghost stalking & killing its victims online, I was expecting some creepy & creative kills but hugely disappointed.

Not a bad flick. I actually enjoyed the ending. After the earthquake filming that is. That got quite annoying while you're trying to understand what the hell is going on. It did wrap up though and things made enough sense by the end that I'm not going to question anything. I would watch again, if anything to see those lovely works of art that "Mr. Jones" created.

I thought the scarecrow creations were wonderful, but the movie fell flat for me. I cant recall if it was the pace, theplot, or the onscreen talent..or what, but I remember feeling completely detached from the narrative,

Ok what exactly would you count as online abuse?

I didn't mean that wasn't an online abuse, that was indeed an online abuse but they could show a better example of it, particularly regarding the event that lead to her 'online abuse' & the subsequent suicide incident.
When a horror story/film centers around a bullied/victimized character turned vengeful ghost/killer, I think at some point it'd better to provide a better background check/story about that character with better example of turn of events that leads to his/her online abuse...you can make it sympathetic or pure evil by dealing with or revealing his/her deepest secret or fear in a way (where at one point the other characters make fun of it, resulting the abuse) so that we can care or feel for that character. In Unfriended, based on very little info that they revealed, we found the character of Laura Barns was as 'shitty' as her so called friends who later die one by one and we didn't care for any of them actually. Now, this sort of shitty characters may be common for a slasher movie but sometimes at least we get lucky enough to see some gruesome/creative or creepy kills even in those average or below average slasher flicks; but here in Unfriended even the kills were uninteresting or at times stupid.

A group of medical students discover a way to bring dead patients back to life.

Weak. Story drags on until towards the end and even then its disappointing. Some glaring holes, particularly obvious choices to make the film more 'tense' instead of staying with what would likely happen. Suspension of disbelief stops. The acting was meh, but the characters were also meh. Also needless relationship dynamics that were also overly typical. Effects were meh. The very end makes sense, but I felt like 'so what'?

Vacation (2015)

Out of all the reboots and remakes being made today, a reboot of the National Lampoon's Vacation series is one that I would never expect to need a reboot. I love the original Vacation series, even the ill-received Vegas Vacation, and even though I had low expectations for the newest installment in the series, I was looking forward to a new Vacation movie. Boy was this a letdown. This time around, Rusty decides that he is going to take his family to Walley World before it closes forever, and Rusty promises that this time "will be different" than the first time he went to Walley World. They set off in their bizarre European car to the amusement park, and the usual Griswold madness ensues. While there are a couple of laughs to be found on this trip to Walley World, the new Vacation is just a raunchier and much more mean-spirited version of the original film, making for a rather awkward and sometimes even unpleasant viewing. A lot of the humor in the first movie was dramatic rather than situational. The jokes would happen while the scene played normally, rather than having scenes that only existed for the punch-line. It more closely resembles Adam Sandler's fun yet disappointing Grown Ups than any of the first Vacation movies. Probably the worst thing about this movie was that, in the first movie, Clark made it seem like Walley World was the greatest place on Earth, so there was a sense of urgency on the trip there, and it made us feel some sympathy for the Griswold's whenever something bad happened to them on the way. In this movie, the destination is never made out to be some spectacular place, which really didn't make me feel like it was that big of a deal when the Griswolds found themselves in a pool of human waste or going white water rafting with a suicidal tour guide. The new Vacation is much more of a misfire than a disaster, since it is a fun movie at times, but you won't find much to like about this movie, even if you're a die-hard fan of the other Vacation films.

Citizen X 1995

Based on the true story of a Russian serial killer who, over many years, claimed over 50 victims, mostly under the age of 17. In what was then a Communist state, the police investigations were hampered by bureaucracy, incompetence and those in power. The story is told from the viewpoint of the detective in charge of the case.

Rewatch. Surprisingly good for a 'tv movie.' Not sure how accurate the movie is in regards to the history of the case or what the Soviet Union was like in the 80's to 1990. Decently acted. Not a lot of gore, but the bodies are decently done, again, for a tv movie. Not a lot of ''action.' The story is interesting enough to make the time go by without notice.

5.5/10

I think I liked it a little more than you did, Boss. Maybe I'd give it a 6.5? It's definitely not loaded with action but I loved the performances, especially from Steven Rea and Jeffrey DeMunn. As a period piece, and viewed as a drama/police procedural, I think it entertains.

It was nice to be reminded of this movie, man. Thanks, I'm probably going to toss it in the player this evening.

Yes, that's pretty much right. But that's not a twist, it's just the entire story.

I thought that would be the surprise twist part. If they find that out early on or the audience is aware I guess it's not a twist. Oh well. I'll probably forget about that by the time I get to see the movie anyway.

I love all the Hellraiser movies, except the third which I just enjoyed. Oh and maybe another one needs a rewatch to make sure.

ANYWAY

I tried watching Levithan: The Story of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II.

I made 28 minutes of the 4 and a half hours. The opening credits sequence is laughable. You get to watch people go on about how great it was making the films and verbally masturbating about how Clive Barker is a genius. Which is fine, but it does not make for interesting viewing. Everyone had fun, everyone loved the experience, Clive's a great pal and genius. Yay.

I just couldn't take anymore. I tried skipping ahead at various points, more of the same.

As far as I could tell Clive Barker was not interviewed at all for this. There's a second part, an additional DVD, but I haven't watched that.

2/10. 2 because its Hellrasier related, otherwise it'd be a one.

Untraceable (2008)

I love me a good crime movie, so I'm glad this one made up for the disaster that was FeardotCom that I watched yesterday. In Untraceable, FBI agent Jennifer Marsh has to hunt down a seemingly untraceable serial killer who posts live videos of his victims getting tortured and killed, and as more people log onto the site, the victim will be killed more quickly. Now, I don't know anything about computers and stuff like that, so I'm not sure how realistic this movie really is. I'll admit I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to that. Even if there are some huge tech flaws that flew way over my head, Untraceable did have a couple of major issues. Like many thrillers, the killer seems to be god-like; he seems to have unlimited resources and intelligence, and it would have been nice to see him stumble a few times to at least build more suspense. They also reveal the identity of the killer way too early into the plot. Anonymity would have added a layer of mystery to the film. Nevertheless, Untraceable was a very entertaining, gritty and intense thriller with an interesting moral compass; why should we watch insanely violent and gory movies like Saw, Seven or even the movie itself? It may be rather hypocritical given how violent this film is, and that moral does get a little preachy by the end of this movie. It's still some intriguing food-for-thought. You might not be completely satisfied if you want a completely coherent and terrifying thriller, but if you want a twisty, edge-of-your-seat kind of movie, Untraceable is a great way to go.

The Possession of Michael King (2014)

This is just one of those movies I found on Netflix that looked slightly interesting. In this sudden resurgence of the possession genre, The Possession of Michael King is just another lame entry. The Possession of Michael King concerns an atheist who is making a documentary trying to disprove the supernatural. He participates in multiple satanic rituals to show that even the darkest magic is fake, and realizes that it's actually real. And then demons. Despite its admittedly interesting premise, The Possession of Michael King is just another boring assault on the ears since every five minutes the movie decides to throw in an unnecessarily gratuitous jump scare without any sort of suspense leading up to it. I actually had to turn the volume down on my computer so low that I could barely hear the dialog. Instead of delving into the science vs religion themes presented in the first act, the film just goes straight to the satanic rituals, bodily deterioration and gross-out scares. It never really entertains, scares or gives the viewer something original and rather gives us a barrage of pointless jump scares and a been-there-done-that story. If you want an exorcism movie that does the science vs religion trope correctly, I suggest The Last Exorcism. Otherwise, stay away from this generic and dull flick.

The Raven
*last day for it on Netflix*

"A brilliant-but-boozy author, Edgar Allen Poe, and a Balitmore cop try to solve a string of baffling murders inspired by Poe's macabre short stories."

I liked it. kind of like RDJ's Sherlock Holmes with the drama and intense scores, but much more geared towards adult audiences. The deaths (if you are at all familiar with Poe's works) are quite bloody and full of creative genius. The two leads played well off each other, and were enjoyable enough to watch. I can't think of a whole lot to say on it, but if you wish to give it a watch I say go for it.

At The Devil's Door

I loved it. I like movies that keep me guessing and this one did. There are times that the film gives you what you are expecting, but just as often they flip things around enough to leave you on not so solid ground. Fine acting doesn't hurt and there's some strong work on screen here.

As supernatural movies go, At The Devil's Door doesn't look, feel or even sound like the glut of recent possession flicks. It's refreshingly light on jump scares, preferring more subtle ways of putting the frighteners on its audience. Conversely, there is one scene that something really creepy happens, but the director drops it right in our laps and just as quickly pulls it away, and it very effectively left me asking if what just happened,,,well, happened.
There is one other thing that really stood out about this one, but it would require a spoiler, and I aint that kinda dude. My advice is to give it a try. It's one of the rare films that I feel confident recommending to anyone who likes dark and thoughtful horror.

feardotcom 2002 rewatch

The movie is basically what you'd expect from the title. With one exception.

The film is about a website that's killing people. A detective and an infectious disease type expert are the main characters.

My impression is that there was once a decent script, but whoever had the real control over the film altered it in bad ways. Things are much too convenient. The main characters become close way too fast. The film takes place in about 3 days. Which leads the characters to holding each other for comfort and a hint at sex. The back story of the film is barely explained. There's even this line: "I've been doing some research, she was afraid of water." Research? How? Where? That fast? Pshaw.

What saves this film, which makes it worth at least one watch is the visual aspect. The sets, the lighting, locations chosen, camera work, etc are all amazing. Visually this film is fantastic. Its directged by the same person that did the remake of House On Haunted Hill and Parasomnia. Haven't seen Parasomnia though. Visually I think its better than House On Haunted Hill. Dark, closed in, the light of a day a glaring exception. Anyway, worth watching once.

5.5/10

PS-I had said earlier it was 'surprisingly good.' It really is due to the title I had expected it to be 3/10 or less.

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)

By the time the fifth installment of a movie franchise rolls around, that series starts to show its age. Not with Mission: Impossible, it seems, because Rogue Nation is yet another incredibly silly yet undeniably entertaining entry in the 17 year old franchise that keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire movie. This time around, Ethan Hunt is now an international fugitive and must take on his most impossible mission (heh) to bring down the rogue organization Syndicate, who are committed to bring down the IMF. The plot twists keep you on your toes the whole time, and it's really what makes Rogue Nation so thrilling. It does succumb to the normal spy movie goofiness, one time in particular early in the movie that made me shake my head at how ridiculous the whole idea was. The double, triple and quadruple crosses get rather confusing as the plot progresses too. There's never a dull moment in Rogue Nation, a suitably fun and over-the-top summer blockbuster, and it proves that Tom Cruise is an unstoppable action star.

The Gift (2015)

The 90's was the golden age of highly stylized stalker thrillers with flicks like Basic Instinct, Single White Female and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, and the actor-turned-director Joel Edgerton harkens back to those films with his directorial debut The Gift. In The Gift, young charismatic Simon runs into an old high school acquaintance named Gordon, and after a painfully awkward conversation, they go their separate ways. Simon's wife, Robyn, thinks it's just a chance encounters while Simon wants nothing to do with "Gordo the Weirdo." Gordon then slowly starts inserting himself into their lives and brings to light secrets about Simon's life, and Robyn realizes that she doesn't know who her husband really is. The thing that makes The Gift so unpredictable is the ambiguity of the villain. Initially, we think that Gordon is the villain since we seem him suddenly become too clingy and start stalking the couple, but as the plot progresses, Gordon reveals several secrets about Simon that make Simon seem like the true villain. Each secret revealed about Gordon and Simon twists the plot even further but not so much that it causes the film to meander through its story. This is a very controlled movie. None of the suspense comes from big chase sequences or any real action; it's the revelations about the characters that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The Gift is a surprisingly well-crafted and intense thriller film that feels like a throwback to the best 90's stalker flicks.

The Houses October Built 2014

Waste of time. I was able to finish it though. Acting was meh, characters annoying and not in any kind of good way. This did not need to be a found footage film, particularly because when they're going through the various haunted houses on their tour(not a spoiler, its the film's premise) you barely see anything due to the hand camera going all over the place. This might have worked better if it was filmed 'normally.' Even so, I kept waiting for it to end and the stupid people doing stupid things over and over...yeah annoying. As I was watching none of the possible endings that came to mind would be satisfying. The ending that was one of them was unsatisfying as the entire film.

Wer 2013

Decently acted. Very good sfx. Very impressively done. The way the film was shot was great too. Sometimes a bit shaky, sometimes like a bad quality documentary, sometimes like a stationary wide angle lens, sometimes presented as video feed from observation cameras. Made the story feel more real, but also I think detracted from emotional investment. Which isn't a bad thing for me with this film. The enjoyment was in the story and how Talon was played. Brian Scott O'Connor did a fantastic job. Particularly with prosthetics/creature effects. The film was fairly predictable, except for SPOILER ALERT:Talon not being a cuddly wolf after all, but ripping jaws off and getting ready to rape Kate Moore, his defending attorney, which pleased me because the opposite often happens.
However something in this film didn't do it for me. I can't quite say what it is after just viewing. So not more to say about that than that.

With whatever it was that didn't work for me I'd give this film 6/10. If you take away this unknown aspect, then its 7.5/10 bordering on 8.

Maybe I didn't fully get into it because there was no relationship with the characters. Not that they lacked depth, but the way it was filmed did not allow me to be too sucked into the experience. But I liked how it was filmed. Blah. Anyway, its worth checking out if you haven't already. Definitely recommend.

Let Us Prey 2015

Stranger brought in to a police station, seemingly being struck by a car earlier, but not appearing when a cop and the driver go to look for him. Spooky stuff then starts to happen.

The best part of this film is the dialogue, amusing, but not trying too hard. I wouldn't call it profound, but well written and interesting. I was paying closer attention to what characters were saying because of the quality. In general the film is predictable, but I didn't guess for sure what was going to happen. Some slight surprises in what I knew, and was right,did happen. The acting was alright, but nothing of note. The only thing that annoyed me was how conveniently a specific type of person(people?) all happened to be brought to the station or were already in it.

Not a lot of gore, but it was done well what gore there was.

I'd recommend seeing this once. 5.5/10

Predictable & not actually 'scary' but still this is a very beautifully shot, 'Michael Haneke' inspired good psychological horror flick. Though there were different sort of hints & clues throughout the movie, yet it left unanswered couple of basic questions regarding the situation in the family...i.e. why the boys left alone in the first place while their mother was in the hospital & going through the surgery? Where is or what happened to the father? I think those issues could be resolved just in one or two lines or shots. Still an intense build up that keeps you guessing who is the actual terror here--the mom or the kids?, a macabre last half an hour as well as excellent direction & cinematography all over made it a great watch. I loved it but only like to recommend for the fans of psychological horror.

Now, about DARK PLACES...I understand why Angra found it boring while I was frustrated. I haven't read the book, so I can't compare about how good or bad it was as an adaptation but as a movie, it's an okay drama with a mystery & elements that could work for a really cool & engaging horror/thriller but it took different approach and that frustrated me mostly.

I loved Gone Girl too. Dark Places is very slow and the ending is a bit of a flop. It's an OK film I guess, but nothing like Gone Girl. I didn't know there was a book though, maybe the book is better than the movie.

It was a disease, and it almost made complete sense. And then he did weird shit like not die from multiple gun shot wounds and land on hi feet after falling from a very tall building. That was my beef with it, maybe it bothered you, Boss?

Gavin bothered me a little. This weird little nobody pining more after a lost love than focusing on his damn job. Then when he gets infected he shaves every hair off his body what....? Okay then. Curious what happened to him after words... his hair at least seemed to have oddly grown back.

Props to this movie for its death scenes. Not only was it bloody fantastic with its makeup and effects, but they even killed off a ten year old kid. That's pushing many boundaries that most movies won't go near, and it easily set the pace for the film. With a child killer on the loose it was no wonder they rushed to capture and condemn a suspect.

The reason I liked the way it was filmed is that it ended up making the film feel more real. A lot of it wasn't shot like a home movie? I thought there was a lot of variety in the kinds of shooting used. I'm undecided about the lycanthropy being a disease. I did like the effects of the jumping from high stories, but the bullets not doing anything at all was annoying. As if he's so strong he's not affected by ballistics. I can only suspend my disbelief so much. I can see how the film turning it into a werewolf instead of just a poor man with a disease could be annoying. Undecided about it. I enjoyed the effects and how the ferociousness of the werewolf form was used. A monster who is vicious without much logical thought. Something to be hunted and killed. The porphyria and moon's gravitation pool bit was silly and this wasn't a silly film. Porphyria is over used in horror too.

Yeah the torso of the dead kid was intense.

I believe it was before the van flipped and he got away again. They thought he was dead cause they filled his chest with holes. I hope I'm not making it sound like that made me dislike the movie. I did like it, but the most I can get out of fear from werewolves is when there's that small chance that it could actually exist. The movie made it seem so real for quite a bit, but I don't care what kind of disease you have, no one can survive a fall from a building like Talan did (let alone land completely unharmed on all fours), or take that many gunshot wounds and just keep on going. It made the vision in my head unbelievable and I wasn't as drawn into the movie like I was.

I consider shaky video that makes me want to slap the cameraman to be in the genre of 'home movie', but it didn't bother me too bad. I just didn't think it was necessary and I don't understand why it's so commonly used these days.

Yeah like the movie couldn't decide what it was doing at first... They made Talan human with this disease, and then they went full on cliche with the typical werewolf symptoms of viciousness and invincibility. I can't believe I'm saying this but, I think I was let down by their decision not to be so original and use the usual werewolf formula.

Not that I'm saying I don't enjoy werewolf cliches! I just think it would've been nice to see something different too.

I don't know. I'm very torn. Maybe I don't know what about it bothers me either, Boss.

And omfg I was not ready for seeing the dead kid. His father's body (and even his mother when she was still alive) were grizzly enough. But it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I like that they just kept it small and didn't even go into detail with what happened to him. Just seeing the boy missing half his body spoke volumes.

I just watched Almost Human. It's an alien movie with a nice bit of gore and some fine kills. The plot however is reminiscent of a ton of films that came before it. It's far from original and had some rough performances from the cast, but it was fun to watch for the slaughter.

Most notable thing about the film is Rya Kihlstedt who plays Judith. Really great acting job. Seems like she took the job seriously and didn't over or under do her portrayal. Almost perfectly done. The rest of the cast did an adequate job. The time period, as far as I can tell, was correctly done as far as costume, setting, and electronic equipment.
It was decent. Watchable one time. But like a lot of films like this its completely fictional. There's no awe or wonder at possibilities. The story itself isn't exciting or at least somewhat original. I like paranormal investigations a lot, but this was just too tired and that its done as a fictional documentary distanced my watching of the film. I wasn't sucked in at all.

Haha! Roif, I wonder about that myself! I came across Ski Wolf at a horror con that I think was in New Jersey. A little indy film group had a table and they were selling their stuff. The only other title I remember was something like Teen Ape...??

Damn, I should have grabbed those movies when I had the chance. I bet they would make for a very interesting double feature.

Staying on the Lycan theme, I watched Ginger Snaps 2 last night, which is one of my favorite Were films and is also one of the best sequels I've ever seen. Emily Perkins is amazing in the role of Bridget, and Tatiana Maslany as Ghost steals every single scene she's in. I am such a fan of the first Ginger Snaps that I was a little concerned that a sequel would let me down. When Part 2 came out, I was soooo happy to be wrong.

Untraceable (2008)

I love me a good crime movie, so I'm glad this one made up for the disaster that was FeardotCom that I watched yesterday. In Untraceable, FBI agent Jennifer Marsh has to hunt down a seemingly untraceable serial killer who posts live videos of his victims getting tortured and killed, and as more people log onto the site, the victim will be killed more quickly. Now, I don't know anything about computers and stuff like that, so I'm not sure how realistic this movie really is. I'll admit I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to that. Even if there are some huge tech flaws that flew way over my head, Untraceable did have a couple of major issues. Like many thrillers, the killer seems to be god-like; he seems to have unlimited resources and intelligence, and it would have been nice to see him stumble a few times to at least build more suspense. They also reveal the identity of the killer way too early into the plot. Anonymity would have added a layer of mystery to the film. Nevertheless, Untraceable was a very entertaining, gritty and intense thriller with an interesting moral compass; why should we watch insanely violent and gory movies like Saw, Seven or even the movie itself? It may be rather hypocritical given how violent this film is, and that moral does get a little preachy by the end of this movie. It's still some intriguing food-for-thought. You might not be completely satisfied if you want a completely coherent and terrifying thriller, but if you want a twisty, edge-of-your-seat kind of movie, Untraceable is a great way to go.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fb/Mission_Impossible_Rogue_Nation_poster.jpg

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)

By the time the fifth installment of a movie franchise rolls around, that series starts to show its age. Not with Mission: Impossible, it seems, because Rogue Nation is yet another incredibly silly yet undeniably entertaining entry in the 17 year old franchise that keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire movie. This time around, Ethan Hunt is now an international fugitive and must take on his most impossible mission (heh) to bring down the rogue organization Syndicate, who are committed to bring down the IMF. The plot twists keep you on your toes the whole time, and it's really what makes Rogue Nation so thrilling. It does succumb to the normal spy movie goofiness, one time in particular early in the movie that made me shake my head at how ridiculous the whole idea was. The double, triple and quadruple crosses get rather confusing as the plot progresses too. There's never a dull moment in Rogue Nation, a suitably fun and over-the-top summer blockbuster, and it proves that Tom Cruise is an unstoppable action star.

9/10

Thanks for the review, I really want to see it!!

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/97/The_Gift_2015_Film_Poster1.png

The Gift (2015)

The 90's was the golden age of highly stylized stalker thrillers with flicks like Basic Instinct, Single White Female and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, and the actor-turned-director Joel Edgerton harkens back to those films with his directorial debut The Gift. In The Gift, young charismatic Simon runs into an old high school acquaintance named Gordon, and after a painfully awkward conversation, they go their separate ways. Simon's wife, Robyn, thinks it's just a chance encounters while Simon wants nothing to do with "Gordo the Weirdo." Gordon then slowly starts inserting himself into their lives and brings to light secrets about Simon's life, and Robyn realizes that she doesn't know who her husband really is. The thing that makes The Gift so unpredictable is the ambiguity of the villain. Initially, we think that Gordon is the villain since we seem him suddenly become too clingy and start stalking the couple, but as the plot progresses, Gordon reveals several secrets about Simon that make Simon seem like the true villain. Each secret revealed about Gordon and Simon twists the plot even further but not so much that it causes the film to meander through its story. This is a very controlled movie. None of the suspense comes from big chase sequences or any real action; it's the revelations about the characters that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The Gift is a surprisingly well-crafted and intense thriller film that feels like a throwback to the best 90's stalker flicks.

The Houses October Built 2014

Waste of time. I was able to finish it though. Acting was meh, characters annoying and not in any kind of good way. This did not need to be a found footage film, particularly because when they're going through the various haunted houses on their tour(not a spoiler, its the film's premise) you barely see anything due to the hand camera going all over the place. This might have worked better if it was filmed 'normally.' Even so, I kept waiting for it to end and the stupid people doing stupid things over and over...yeah annoying. As I was watching none of the possible endings that came to mind would be satisfying. The ending that was one of them was unsatisfying as the entire film.

Well made, well acted and very predictable indeed. I actually expected it to be more twisty. If the movie just wasn't so damn excruciatingly slow I would've given it an 8/10. But my god!! That's what happens when you only have material for half a movie.

****SPOILERS****

Goodnight Mommy (2014)

With one of the most genuinely frightening trailers I've seen in a long time and a distinctly Michael Haneke-style atmosphere, I had high hopes for Goodnight Mommy, and it was a little disappointing but not a complete misfire. Goodnight Mommy is an Austrian film about two twin boys who move back home with their mother after she finishes an intense cosmetic surgery. Unusually distant and abusive and wrapped up in bandages that completely cover her face, the boys start to suspect that it's not their mother underneath those bandages. The trailer makes it seem like a terrifying, subversive psychological horror film, but it's horribly misleading. Goodnight Mommy is instead a somber tale of grief and depression. I would be able to forgive that if it didn't descend into a nonsensical torture porn flick in the final act. The entire film, we're supposed to be lead to believe that this woman is not the boys' mother, but there is nothing substantial to make the viewer truly doubt her credibility. The boys just kinda figure that the woman isn't their mother and then start torturing her. The torture felt undeserved. It wasn't disturbing so much as it was just ugly to watch. There's also a plot twist where we realize that one of the boys is actually dead. It's pretty obvious from the first 15 minutes because the mother never interacts with one of the twins, and the dead twin has to whisper what he wants to say to the other boy so that he can say it. The thing that really frustrates me about this movie is how technically well made it is because I can't decide if this is a truly good movie or not. Even though the execution misses the mark, the direction, acting, cinematography and score are incredible. I'm not sure if I really liked this movie or not.

This might be something that I revisit in the future.

Understand the frustration & can't much disagree with your complaints. The trailer, direction and the tone really gave us the high hopes and it had indeed the potential to be something more twisted & original. But I think they intentionally gave away that little twist at the beginning as there are similar movies about that sort of twist already and they only focused the psychology & point of view from Elias' part who is a guilt-ridden, troubled kid. I didn't mind the torture part but yeah...it could try a different route and play & twists more with Mom's character as well. Initially at one point I was just thinking she might be their crazy aunt (the twin sister of her mother) who thinks & claims she's the real mother of the kids OR may be someone, investigating in disguise about the sudden & mysterious disappearance of their real mother!::wink::

Haha! Roif, I wonder about that myself! I came across Ski Wolf at a horror con that I think was in New Jersey. A little indy film group had a table and they were selling their stuff. The only other title I remember was something like Teen Ape...??

Damn, I should have grabbed those movies when I had the chance. I bet they would make for a very interesting double feature.

Staying on the Lycan theme, I watched Ginger Snaps 2 last night, which is one of my favorite Were films and is also one of the best sequels I've ever seen. Emily Perkins is amazing in the role of Bridget, and Tatiana Maslany as Ghost steals every single scene she's in. I am such a fan of the first Ginger Snaps that I was a little concerned that a sequel would let me down. When Part 2 came out, I was soooo happy to be wrong.

Teen Ape sounds boss.

I'd go see that double feature!

I saw Gingersnaps 1 & 2 when I was fairly younger... I don't recall liking them too much. The first I liked enough, but I remember the second boring me to tears. I most likely need to rewatch them though. Not fair to judge them on a vague memory.

That's what I meant, it was disturbingly real, but also seemingly unreal. : ) Er I mean if it seemed I was saying it was badly done.

It did seem like that's what you meant, but that's okay. Thanks for clearing that up. 8)

The Pact 2

Dull, nothing new to the series visually or experience wise. And maybe its just me, but it seems like the camera focuses on breasts so much that its very noticeable. The lead actress is mediocre, the boyfriend's acting is awful. Even Caity Lotz(star of the first) seemed to be making little effort. Haley Hudson(plays Stevie, the girl with the weird and sunken looking eyes) was great, but her character's 'strangeness' and ability to know paranormal stuff feels like she was just thrown in to be interesting. Like a random monster walking past saying to the main character 'oh, this is why stuff is happening to you' and then ambling on.

2/10

Vampires 2010 Belgian film

Easily described. This film is a precursor to, and probably influenced some way, What We Do in the Shadows and where that film is fun and funny this film is not. The characters actions, words, thoughts, etc seem inane to the theme. The dialogue insults the audience's intelligence, same for the humor. Its not 'low brow', but dull and tired. No great lines like "We're werewolves, not swearwolves!"

Couldn't finish it.
1/10

(Divergent) Insurgent 2015

I don't remember much about the first except that it was mildly entertaining. This was trite and too easily ended. I was able to finish it though. I'm sure there are a lot of comparisons between this and The Hunger Games series. I like the film adaptations of The Hunger Game series, but won't give it any money for various reasons. Where those films are well shot, well acted, and generally well written Insurgent feels like the script was edited by too many hands, some sort of cliche of hollywood film executives ruining it. I do not know if this occurred of course, but the film felt like it did.

Sinister 2 (2015)

When I had originally heard that there was going to be a sequel to Sinister, one of my favorite horror films, I was pretty excited to say the least. Then, early spring this year, the first official trailer was released. I suddenly felt less enthusiastic about the movie, but I still held on some hope that it could be a decent follow-up to the original, until I finally saw it tonight. I read the signs but ignored the warnings, and my punishment was an astonishingly disappointing sequel. Sinister 2 takes place some time after the events of the original film and follows Deputy So And So (that's seriously how he's credited in the film). He has become obsessed with tracking down murders and child abductions that could be linked to an ancient pagan deity named Baghuul, who coerces a child into killing their family and takes the child's soul. It leads him to a farmhouse near the site of a mass murder in a church which he expects to find empty. When he arrives at the house, So and So sees that a mother and twin sons have already moved into the house, and one of the twins is the subject of midnight show-and-tell with the ghost kids' kill tapes. From the first ten minutes, I noticed that something felt terribly wrong about this movie. Deputy So and So was nothing more than comic relief in the original film, and, outside of the big plot twist at the end, he can hardly carry more than a scene by himself, let alone an entire movie. While he is a generally likable character, Deputy So and So just isn't cut out to carry an entire film by himself. His character actually made the movie funnier than it was scary, and there was very little to be afraid of in this movie. If you've seen the trailer, and I'm not exaggerating, every single scare is spoiled in the trailer, and there aren't any surprises left for you. It seems like the filmmakers thought that showing Baghuul off as much as possible could make the sequel scarier than the original, but what made the original so terrifying is that Baghuul was just a shadow in the back of the tapes. You rarely saw him for more than just a glance, and it was scary as hell. In Sinister 2, however, you can practically count the buttons on his black overcoat because he's shown so profusely throughout the movie. Along with a ridiculously over-the-top abusive husband side plot, a weak script and bland direction, Sinister 2 is one of the biggest disappointments of the year for horror.

From the Dark 2014

Irish country side. Somehow finding a hand and a stick allows for something to surface from the ground. Then the rest of the film is two people(not who found the stuff) being attacked by demon zombies who are hurt by the light. I realize demon zombies makes i sound cool and campy. Its not like that, not like Evil Dead kind of campy cool. There's a lot of good stuff. Excellent acting. Excellent...blocking? The camera work was very well done. The person doing the filming really knows their job. This seems to imply the director knew how to direct. Visually pleasing, and often. However the story...the script the main characters doing stupid cliche horror film things. And then ignoring the smart things they could easily do. Its annoying.
I was able to make it to the end. Decent ending too. In general, for me, its a pleasure, since its so rare, to have a woman rescuing/helping the man. But she was being just as stupid as he was before. But get a few zombie demons after her and the character is instantly tough and confident. Just not very observant/smart.

I would not recommend, but you'd probably enjoy it at least enough for one watch.

Yes, indeedie.

Although there wasn't really much of anything to be afraid of, I for some reason was just glued to the set. It's spoiled from the very beginning that they won't make it out of the woods alive, but when weird things start to happen you keep watching just to know why and what the hell is doing it. The ending was vague enough to make you think they may have just gone mad, but when I thought back to the stories the townspeople told, I was just 'woah shit I get it'.

We've had the VHS since it was released, but it was only watched once by my dad who hated it. Kept hearing how stupid it was from him, and I knew it would be an home video documentary style (which I didn't really care for in a movie even before I got more into horror) so I never thought much about watching it. But after watching so many on Netflix and thinking maybe they weren't so bad after all, I decided to dig it out when our net was down and give it a try. I liked it more than I thought I would.

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p433/sanjidparvez/MIRN_zpsrgkkkb04.jpg

Though loved the very first one but never been really a great fan of this franchise. Particularly for the 2nd & 3rd installment, I have been quite tired of watching Ethan Hunt jumping off from a building or whatever in each & every mission & pulling off a Face-Mask at some point in the movie...the typical trademarks for MI films. The good thing is this time they kind of changed & improvised that jump stunt although couldn't get entirely rid off the face-mask thing. Still it felt good for a little change & emphasizing more on the story by keeping it a fast paced, action packed thrill ride from start to finish in a simple plotted espionage tale. But the best thing about ROGUE NATION is the addition of Rebecca Ferguson as the undercover British agent Ilsa Faust. She shines in almost every frame & at times even overshadows Cruise on the screen.

12 Years A Slave 2015

My initial reactions were that the slave owner and slave dynamic was too easy, that nothing is that simple. But then I'm thinking, no it really was that fucked up. So it is that easy, that simple to write/direct the dynamic.
The main actor, forgetting his name, was really really good. So was Benedict Cumberbatch(surprised I remember his name) and the second slave owner the main character was transferred to. The actor playing Patsy was meh, except when her character was being whipped and then raped. She was excellent. The same sort of bad acting occurred with the actress who played the second slave owner's wife. Both of these actors at times were stiff, like they were giving soliloquies in a theater and not in a movie with people around them.
And then there's Brad Pitt's character. OF COURSE Brad Pitt plays a character like that, and badly. Not to imply he is or not is a bad actor.

I did not know it was originally a book, wish I had. I would've read it first.

I like when people occasionally post non-horror movies here because I get to see what other genres people like or dislike.

Exactly. Plus, I like that we can discuss all kinds of topics, not just horror. Horror is the main focus, but we do have other interests.

Wooooaaaah for once ImmortalSlasher and I are on the same wave length. I don't know why it bothers me (not enough to really say anything but it still is there in the back of my head poking my brain). But guys. The section is clearly labeled "Latest HORROR Movies".

...Just saying.

If this topic would be limited to only horror titles there would be even less traffic here.

Is it that big of a deal? If you don't want to see posts of other genres then just don't read it.

Trespassing (Evil Remains on Netflix)

I made a review rant thing and posted here http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?p=999560&posted=1#post999560

It's not. As you said I don't read hem usually since I'm more interested in the horror genre. I'm bothered by inconsistencies but I really don't care enough to do anything. Feel free to post what you want. It's not my topic. 8)

The title of the thread is "Last Seen Contemporary Movie". Doesn't say anything about it having to be a horror movie.

Not really. The title doesn't say anything about limiting movies to horror.

But it's actually "Horror.com Forums - Talk about horror. > Horror Movie Discussion > Latest Horror Movies > Last Seen Contemporary Movie"

It almost implies that it's the last seen contemporary horror movie.

I think the other seen movies would be better suited to an off topic section where recently seen non-horror movies could go. I've seen that sort of topic on other forums.

Not so much annoying. Just why is it here. I check here to see what horror movies I might have missed. Both new and old. Even though the old horror movies were placed in their own topic. I did find it easier to see all new and old horror movie reviews in one place.

It's strange that old and new horror seen horror movies are separated and not recent blockbuster or other type movies.

Thank you!

The forum is probably dying a slow death anyway. With little moderation, hackers, bots, and most of the time more guests than users. It's only a matter of time before even more people stop posting.
