That's too bad. The Ouija board is such a rich device for a some really good horror (and still is). And hearing an accomplished screenplay writer/director like Mike Flanagan took it up, has me very interested. I'll see this film soon.

The Witch (2015 film)
5/10

A family in 1630s New England is torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic and possession.

A devoted period and subject matter piece, which I have to respect. Nice acting and cinematic technique, and out-of-the-ordinary presentation and story.

I liked the presentation of authentic belief system as character and setting. The director adopted dialogue directly from written documents of the period. However, generally speaking, people don't speak the way they write, nor they way the give legal testimony -- and unlikely the way they talk and act in private with their family. And so the characters and dialogue are often stiff. I think not only more stiff than artistically required, even stiffer than in authenticity.

I didn't find the film enjoyable. It took me as rather bleak from beginning to end without any saving counter-point. It wasn't suspenseful, but rather mildly curious and mysterious. I found the ending climax also bleak, subdued and ambiguous.

Despite the (practical) effects being on the cheap side and the dumb ending, it's a pretty solid snow/mountain horror movie. But I'm kinda biased since I love snow/mountain horror movies. I wish more horror took place in a similar setting.

I don't get all the hate for this movie, i thought it was pretty good. They balanced all the characters well and were well utilized. Apocalypse was a great villain and i enjoyed the story even during the slow parts. I am a little tired of the whole "see the good in you" solution when dealing with Magneto but besides that i had no problem with the film. Much like Days of Future Past, Quicksilver steals the show and had the best part of the movie. This is definitely the weakest of the new trilogy but by no means a bad movie.

Yes, I enjoyed Blood Glacier as well and will often try to find horror films in winter, isolated type settings.(which leads to a lot of Swedish and Norwegian films.)

Doctor Strange (2016)

"A former neurosurgeon embarks on a journey of healing only to be drawn into the world of the mystic arts."

This was really cool. I wasn't sure how Benedict Cumberbatch would do leading a superhero movie, but he did great. I haven't seen him in much, but he's proven to me to be a very versatile actor. I liked the magic aspect that hasn't really been touched on in other Marvel movies. The one tiny gripe I had was the kinda-sorta love story between Strange and his nurse friend/girlfriend. It was unnecessary and half-baked. The special effects were some of the coolest I've seen.

[Bloof]

Five Across The Eyes

Little bro, what did you think of it? So frickin' violent but I liked it.

Oh, I'm definitely a fan. It's the third time I've seen it and its a sick and fun watch every time. The acting leaves something to be desired for sure, but the pace and insane action in the film makes it's shortcomings tolerable. Five Across The Eyes is some crrrrazy shit!

Cub (aka Welp) - A boy scout group go camping in the woods and one in particular believes he has met a local legend, Kai, a sort of werewolf boy (ish). There is, however, more things in the woods to be afraid of...

I saw one review describe this as Friday the 13th meets Lord of the Flies which isn't too bad a comparison in many ways. Its set in Belgium and is spoken almost entirely in Flemish (I think).
Its a good film with some decent performances, although I doubt its the sort of film you'd bother watching a second time.

Dead Silence (2007) not bad, hadn't seen it before. 7/10
Indeed! I think Dead Silence is one the top 5 horror films since 2000. It's the first film to scare me in something like a couple decades. It has it weak points, but I think it totally delivers the good horror.

When the youngest daughter is overtaken by a merciless spirit, the family confronts unthinkable fears to save her and send her possessor back to the other side.

Entertaining, but it fails to be scary. Very little tension, dread, or scares.

A horror junkie and his friends sign up with a company that brings their customer's greatest fears to life.

Entertaining, but it makes no sense. So many plot holes. Enjoyable late night movie, just try not to think about it - which is difficult, because it encourages you to do so the whole way through.
6.5/10

Interesting ideas afloat in this film, you need to go into the movie ready to use your brain ala sci-fi like Interstellar and Cloud Atlas. Finicky critics like horrorcrux will have to decide whether they like the concepts the films introduces or is more frustrated by the lack of resolution.

I really liked this. What made this film for me was the time spent on the two main characters and the drama between them. They put a lot of time into showing the horrible relationship between the mother and daughter but also into her desire to get better for her daughter. The movie works as a tale of redemption as well as a pretty good monster movie.

Finally watched it last night. Really enjoyed it! So weird but it really works. Gruesome, fun, interesting and well made. It's possibly not for everyone though! But I liked it. And I would certainly like to see more of Shian Denovan (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2704691/?ref_=tt_cl_t2). Dayum! Matthew C. Vaughan's (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4709326/?ref_=tt_cl_t1) performance as catman was great.

The Monster

I really liked this. What made this film for me was the time spent on the two main characters and the drama between them. They put a lot of time into showing the horrible relationship between the mother and daughter but also into her desire to get better for her daughter. The movie works as a tale of redemption as well as a pretty good monster movie.

8/10

Ditto. Saw it last night. Really liked the way it slowly builds the characters & their stories as well as cleverly plotted haunting atmosphere throughout. The mother-daughter relationship was the main strength of this movie/story. One of the best genre flicks of 2016 so far, IMO.

**SPOILER BELOW**
My only complaint was their final "escape plan" planned by the mother! Man...that was kinda stupid! Yeah...the circumstances or the way they were cornered considering the situation was understandable but as they figured the monster was afraid of lights and as long they had fire & a torch light, the mother should take a chance of running with her daughter by firing the whole woods down behind or could have face the same fate while confronting it together on the way.

It's not one of those so bad it's good movies, but it has a couple of zombeaver-ish moments.

Night of Something Strange 2016

Disappointing. The trailer made it seem like Night of Something Strange was going be a fun campy gore fest. There is a lot of gore and some of it grossed me out while making me laugh at the same time. Which was great. The acting was poor except for the first/main monster zombie/creature/etc. There's very little story, just an excuse for a lot of gore/gross out scenes. However after a 2nd rape scene in a bit over 30 minutes I had to turn it off.

Second time watching, but I haven't seen it since it pretty much just came out so it was like watching it for the first time again. I liked it. The back story to the house was great and I wish it had gone more into that. Wasn't really a whole lot of scares except empty threat jump scares.

Really liked this film, two brothers think they are highly intelligent and better than everyone on the planet and think they can commit murder and get away with it, just because. The character Charles was fantastic, actually they were both good but Charles won my affection right away. It's original title was Divine Tragedies.

The Fifth Wave -

Pretty good for the first quarter or so. But it falls apart of turns into a predictable story afterwards. I read a few reviews and the wiki and this is supposed to be from a Young Adult type novel. So I guess that's why. But the first part is still really good. And the actress will probably get tons of awards in the future. She's one to watch.

Also, I think one of the trailers spoiled the movie too. I don't know if it was the teaser or full trailer. Or maybe just one of the actors. But what happened towards the end was also not that much of a twist. And too much setup for sequels.

Hell House LLC chronicles a documentary team investigating a small town's biggest story - an abandoned hotel that about to serve as a Halloween fun-house, turned into a location of an unsolved massacre at the opening night in 2009. The documentary team is getting expert and eyewitness testimony, pictures and amateur video from that night in October, and then there were some personal tapes from the only survivors - one of the attraction's workers who experienced the horror from start to finish. What she has on those tapes leads them to new discoveries...that abandoned hotel & its dark past had its own tricks & scares to manipulate the "man-made haunts"!

The first time I saw said film was with him, so it seems only right to watch it's together. Ironically, I grabbed VHS: Viral at another store then stop by Walmart and by pure happenstance I came across Siren.

Saw Reincarnate Mon and liked it a lot. I would highly recommend it to fans of exorcist films.

And I just saw Nocturnal Animals earlier today. Be warned it is a very heavy art film with one of the most bizarre beginnings I've ever seen. I'd put it in my post but I can't find the spoiler feature?

Ya, same thoughts. I don't think this was the time for a Suicide Squad film.

Legend Of Tarzan was OK. Tarzan didn't act enough like Tarzan for my liking but it was decent. I really liked Margot Robbie as Jane!!::wink::

Also watched Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children... Another OK movie. I love Eva Green but felt like she was very underused. Some of the ideas where quite fun. The plot was a little wonky in places and there just wasn't enough character development for my liking. However I still feel like it's one of the better Tim Burton movies of recent years.

[The Villain]

A Christmas Horror Story

This was a lot better then i thought it was going to be. Two of the stories in particular were very good and only one of them i felt was boring and just didnt fit with the rest of the movie. It has a pretty good ending too.

Burning Bright (2010)
I.M.D.B. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1244658/)
A thriller centered on a young woman and her autistic little brother who are trapped in a house with a ravenous tiger during a hurricane.

The scenes with the tiger were surprisingly well done, considering it must have been a tough thing to shoot, but it was still extremely limited in what it could do and the movie suffered for it. And I know the autistic brother was supposed to be annoying, but it didn't stop me wanting him to be mauled to death. Briana Evigan (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0263759/) runs around in very little though, so bonus points for that.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
6/10

A cybernetic warrior from a post-apocalyptic future travels back in time to protect a 19-year old drifter and his future wife from a most advanced robotic assassin and to ensure they both survive a nuclear attack.

The film has a lot of exciting vehicle stunts and destruction (almost entirely non-CG). It's basically one long chase scene. I give it credit for being exciting... nicely shot, good effects, big budget.

Unfortunately, there's very little character exposition, nor social commentary, and therefore no worthwhile humor or relationships... something the first two films did, and did well.

Guy is an experienced British fighter pilot who is in command of Britain's first manned mission to space.

Not a good movie. Guy does nothing in his little capsule except occasionally use the center stick and they try to make that look exciting. It's 90 mins of this guys face and very little else, asking people on the radio how to fix his problems, and never getting any answers. Plus a dumb ending.

I.M.D.B. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0222812/)
Everyone's favorite mad scientist Herbert West is currently in jail after having state's evidence turned against him by his former assistant, Dan Cain.

Suffers for its lack of 80's charm, and isn't as bizarre as the first two. Still, it's well made - with great makeup and prosthetics. A slightly more mature and subdued performance from Jeffrey Combs (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001062/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm) than the previous two, whilst still maintaining all the egomaniacal joy of the character. However, rubbish front cover!

Two estranged brothers reunite at their missing father's video store to liquidate the property and sell off his assets. As they dig through the store, they find a VCR board game

Would have truly benefited from better writing of the main characters. The protagonist was unlikable. Too much silence in place of good dialogue, and the third act was lame, possibly due to budget restrictions. But there were some enjoyable moments, and it was well made.

Chevalier (2015)
I.M.D.B. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3526706/?ref_=nv_sr_2)
In the middle of the Aegean Sea, six men on a fishing trip on a luxury yacht decide to play a game. During this game, things will be compared. Things will be measured. Songs will be butchered, and blood will be tested. Friends will become rivals and rivals will become hungry. But at the end of the journey, when the game is over, the man who wins will be the best man.

Concept sounded cool. It was not. Machismo, rivalry, desire to impress - all taken to the extreme, and with good performances from the actors. But the actual substance of the movie was ridiculous. It went from one silly, uninspired scenario to the next, without going anywhere interesting.

A Family Stone (2005) PG-13
8/10

An uptight, conservative businesswoman accompanies her boyfriend to his eccentric and outgoing family's annual Christmas celebration and finds that she's a fish out of water in their free-spirited way of life.

Funny and sweet adult family film about family, love, acceptance, differences and fitting-in. The first three-fourths of the film are well paced with a few beautiful outdoor and indoor scenery sets, inner-family humor, warm family love, light story exposition, and a couple heavy family change of life issues; softly done with a large ensemble cast.

The last forth of the film became a bit too densely packed with syrupy sentimentality. It also went with one incredibly unlikely scenario that seemed to snowball into an unwelcome overall feeling of ridiculousness and disassociation.

The film does tackle, or perhaps tries to champion, a couple divisive societal issues. It's partly used as conflict and acceptance plot points, where there had to be one; however the particular issues may also jolt some audience members out of the film's warm immersion and into a circumspect and guarded state. So the film goes niche... Not sure the producers knew just how close it was to being universal gold.

Lastly, as Repo'd would say, all the women are very easy on the eyes.

Well written and well performed and deals with its subject matter well while giving us an interesting look at improv. Has a few funny moments, although generally it's more amusing than funny. Worth a look.

If you were pleasantly surprised with Andre ovredal's TROLLHUNTER (2010), then you will regard him now as your new 'Master of Horror' - in his latest & first English-language film The Autopsy of Jane Doe! Because, in Jane Doe, this Norwegian director applied almost each & every great craftsmanship of horror film-making so skillfully that you are not only going to see just another good or passable horror flick set around an awesomely interesting premise, you'll going to experience it! Through the effective use of half light, sound & shadow this time he created an utterly eerie & unsettling atmosphere by revealing not too much but keep toying with the viewer's imagination from start to finish. And the perfect cast & characterization also helps to fuel the unease feeling of an unknown terror – an untouched & unidentified corpse of a beautiful young female; the local cops discovered the body from a shallow grave under the basement of a house-where everyone was massacred!

The best horror film of 2016 so far! A must watch.

Odd little movie, that starts out very Wes Anderson before delving further into symbolism and metaphors. It's a sweet little movie in places, but I was happy for the short run-time. Only Wes Anderson can do a Wes Anderson movie.

I enjoyed Rogue One more than Force Awakens too. I think Rogue, and I, were much more free of the prior Star Wars character baggage.

As you say, "The Force Awakens (which was more like an 'old wine in a new bottle' sort of reboot treatment, IMO)." Force had too many winks at the prior films, creating an unwelcome dissociative experience (nudging me that I'm watching a film about a film).

I liked all 6 (prior) Star Wars films, which knew how to move forward -- not always in a good way, but at least creating a new experience, and often more than just entertainment.

So I give Rogue green for a new experience, but I can't say I thought Rogue or Force Awakens were very good. I thought they mildly entertaining.

I thought Rogue's main characters were too undeveloped for me to know or care about them. But at least their motivations were clear (unlike Force Awakens). I give Force Awakens points for being intriguing, whereas I don't think either created enough deep cinematic suspense.

What you think of the use of CG human characters?

Can't disagree with your points on character baggage & lack of originality issues. Though I'm not certain but I think that is where George Lucas & the Studio couldn't reach to a mutual agreement on how to move forward with the story line gradually. After his sad mess with the rise of Darth Vader trilogy, I've doubt that they have consider any of his idea relating to in what direction the series should go next. And now as we see they are mostly treating this whole re-birth of the franchise thing with a 'fandom' approach, focusing & repeating the things that the fans mostly like about the original saga. For a time being, it is a 'safe move' for both the Disney & Lucasfilm but it will be interesting to see how they going pitch the new things (including characters, story arc with fresh twists & turns) slowly into the new saga. Because eventually they have to do that & they know that, otherwise the same fans going to get tired of it at some point.
The thing that I mostly liked about the R1 was it's about the unsung heroes of the rebellions who were also fighting for the same great cause but without much direct influence of the Force or some Jedi backup. Found mostly the Cargo pilot guy who was the messenger for Galen Erso was underdeveloped or needed some back story.
One thing I'm still looking forward to see a strong, important or bad ass good guy sort of character from other species (obviously with human traits/values) other than just for some comic relief or as a side kick in this new saga. For example, they could have made the Rebel intelligence office Cassian somewhat like that. But liked the addition of Asian characters - Chirrut & Baze into the story. Thought the action scenes, particularly the final battle was pretty awesome, better executed than TFA.


I don't have any complain of using CG characters as long the story needs them there as now they have the supportive tech to properly fit them in, but yeah...surprised to see the CGI Grand Moff Tarkin got that much good amount of screen time here. It kinda gave me goosebumps, man!

The Accountant (2016)
B/C
Decent action-thriller but some bits were too predictable.
Also expected more action.

Uncle Nick (2015)
C
Drama/comedy but the drama made the comedy seem kinda unnecessary.

Eerie, creepy and cold.

Ninja training for the actors. Everyone was a fucking ninja in this movie, appearing completely silently out of nowhere for a pointless jump scare.

But don't you know that's the only effective way to make a horror movie is with jump scares? Pff, what are you expecting, clever story lines with intense scenes and deep characters to get under your skin? ::big grin::

ESCAPE FROM LA (1996). Big disappointment here-came out too long after the original and borrows way too much from NEW YORK. *1/2

Can't disagree with your points on character baggage & lack of originality issues. Though I'm not certain but I think that is where George Lucas & the Studio couldn't reach to a mutual agreement on how to move forward with the story line gradually. After his sad mess with the rise of Darth Vader trilogy, I've doubt that they have consider any of his idea relating to in what direction the series should go next. And now as we see they are mostly treating this whole re-birth of the franchise thing with a 'fandom' approach, focusing & repeating the things that the fans mostly like about the original saga. For a time being, it is a 'safe move' for both the Disney & Lucasfilm but it will be interesting to see how they going pitch the new things (including characters, story arc with fresh twists & turns) slowly into the new saga. Because eventually they have to do that & they know that, otherwise the same fans going to get tired of it at some point.

Yes, I agree, loved seeing the asian and middle eastern characters take major roles in this. I was joking on my radio show that we would see many many Bothans die in this film (i.e "Many Bothans have died to bring us this information"), but we didn't see many non-human creatures playing major character roles in this film either.

And yes, I really hope the sequel to Force Awakens has some very new film experiences, concepts, stories and characters, cause Force was way too fandom for me.

I most decidedly think it was a mistake to use a CG face of Peter Cushing because when I saw him it completely took me out of the film/story! I didn't catch a word Tarkin said because I was immediately studying that face and voice... first thinking "Is Mr Cushing still alive?". Then I was studying the life-likeness levels of the face and movement, judging it. Then I was assessing if that was Cushing voice, even maybe a digital recreation... which is a compliment to actor Guy Henry, who did the voice, and was the body actor.

I wouldn't have minded an actor that looked like an ever so slightly younger looking Peter Cushing. I'm mean, let's be real here... Cushing was a minor character, only appearing in A New Hope, a 1977 film. Or just don't use Tarkin. The story didn't require him, and certainly didn't require showing him. In that respect, thinking about it now... it really was a fandom appearance.

I must own this, its magnificent.

Two drug addicts want to get high and stay high...they suck the fluids from starfish, called slugs in the movie. The scenes in here are just amazing. It comes in B&W and color.

Klown Forever (2015)
B-
Follow up to Klown The Movie, based upon the Danish series Klown.
It's about two sort of friends and stuff they get into.
I think I liked it more than the previous one.

Romper Stomper (1992)
B
Been ages since I've seen this one. Proper Aussie skinhead action drama.
It was my introduction to Russell Crowe. Here he plays the leader of a violent gang of skinheads.

The Mummy
This movie traumatized me as a kid and I never fully watched it, but some friends wanted to watch it and I figured I had a change of view in horror enough to handle it, and I did. I liked it a lot better now than I had then that is for sure. Relied heavily on CGI, but for it's time the effects weren't horrible. There were several cliche characters and plot holes, but over all it was a decent remake. It's enjoyable if you like a classic cheese flick.

Home Movie (2008)
I.M.D.B. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1267319/?ref_=nv_sr_1)
In the remote woods of Upstate New York, David and Clare Poe are attempting to live an idyllic life. However, their twin children's bizarre behavior might just tear the family apart.

Adrian Pasdar (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0664499/?ref_=tt_cl_t1) carries the movie with his performance. It's difficult to make a 'found footage' performance seem natural and compelling, but I think he pulls it off. Unfortunately it's about the only thing this movie has going. The movie pulls all of its punches, and suffers greatly for it.

I.M.D.B. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113409/)
An insurance investigator begins discovering that the impact a horror writer's books have on his fans is more than inspirational.

Remembered it fondly but haven't watched it for 20 years. First time watching it as an adult and I really enjoyed it. It's a clever little movie that's really enjoyable to watch.

K-Shop (2016)
I.M.D.B. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3221544/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)
A kebab shop owner's son, Salah, turns vigilante after his father's death in an effort to clean up the relentless onslaught of boozed up thrill seekers waging war on his doorstep.

Perhaps a touch long, but it was an enjoyable movie. Doesn't quite capture the intensity of such interactions with drunk British 'hooligans', but Ziad Abaza's (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4213457/?ref_=tt_cl_t7) performance is compelling enough to keep the interest going.

The Hundred Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared (2013)
original title: Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann (2013)
A

"After living a long and colorful life, Allan Karlsson finds himself stuck in a nursing home. On his 100th birthday, he leaps out a window and begins an unexpected journey."

Great Swedish film.
I know it sounds strange but it's like a mix of Forrest Gump and Guy Ritchie movies like Snatch or Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.

I recommend this one.

A bachelor party becomes a savage fight for survival when the groomsmen unwittingly unleash a fabled predator upon the festivities. A feature adaptation of the segment "Amateur Night" from the 2012 horror anthology "V/H/S."

An enjoyable watch. Well made, good performances, interesting enough premise. Worth a watch for quick movie night.

I really enjoyed this. The story was different from your typical my next door neighbor is a killer trope due to the kids sociopathy, what exactly the killer is, and from how the movie develops. A good watch from beginning to end.

This was really good. I love a good monster movie especially one with a good story. The monster story itself was a simple monster tale but with the backdrop of the war in Iran and the bombings it made it much more interesting. Relied a little too heavily on jump scares but still pretty good.

8/10

This was excellent. The story is really creative and original and the movie itself is really creepy. The mortuary provides a great isolated setting and Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch give great performances. The mystery keeps you really interested and the reveal was totally unexpected.
