Pssst... I'm already Christmas shopping. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA EVIL PUPPY STRIKES AGAIN!

Also, just watched the fifth Tremors movie. It's not good... but I like it, guess I'm just a Tremors fanboy.

In C related news. Krampus from Michael Dougherty (Trick 'R' Treat) is rated PG-13. Doesn't mean it's a bad movie but I expected an R-Rating for a movie about a child abducting/eating C demon.
And there's still Kevin Smith's movie to look forward to.
Comes The Krampus, now retitled Anti-Claus.
Smith says "When I was a kid, if they wanted to make a Christmas horror movie, they’d stick an axe in Santa’s hands. In Anti-Claus, we leave Santa alone and creep with the Krampus through twisted tales of holly-jolly murder, desire, desperation and despair. Just in time for the holiday season.”
Sound good to me.
I think it's been postponed for a year with Michael Dougherty's Krampus coming out.

Session 9

...Repo I have no idea how to feel about this movie.

The Gift (2015)

Kudos to writer, director & actor Joel Edgerton for making such an effective & beautifully plotted revenge thriller without having almost any violence in it! And that's an impressive & commendable job for a directorial debut.

What annoys me is when people wish me a merry Xmas. I'm not Christian, did not grow up Christian. I grew up Jewish, but am not religiously so 'happy holidays' doesn't work either. And since I grew up Jewish I associate the new year with September. Blah.

SE7EN (1995). Still intense flick with solid performances and >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILER ALERT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>one of the most downbeat endings ever. ****1/2

You're just the glass-whole-empty kinda guy, aren't ya? ::roll eyes::

I was actually expecting a PG-13. The trailer didn't seem like it would be terribly gory or have any sex. It just looks like a fun Christmas horror movie. I'm excited for it!

How so?

You are not alone.

Give in. You know it was great.

Just got in Jurassic World in Blu Ray.

It looks fantastic on my TV playing it on my Blue Ray player.

So? I'll wish you a Merry Christmas and you wish me whatever you like. If somebody wishes me Happy Kwanza or Hanukkah then I smile and say thank you. They're not asking me to "believe" in their holiday, they're spreading cheer. Nobody has to tip-toe around me, their goal in life shouldn't be to make sure they don't accidentally offend me.

I love Session 9, the atmosphere is palpable...

Creepshow for me, as always it was a blast.

I agree with you on both of these points!

I love that movie and the ending.
Movies need more endings like that. Kinda like The Mist.
Feckin' brilliant!

The maker's previous horror holiday movie was Rated-R and it's about a child abducting/eating demon. So I expected an R-Rating.

I don't watch trailers in general. Unless I don't care that much about the movie.
I think it's more fun if you don't know what to expect.

Yeah there's nothing as wonderful as forcing your holidays on someone else...because you see it as spreading cheer does not mean I want to hear it. For me its spreading expectancy of shared experience that is not there.

Well I am offended when people speak to me at all. It is an expectancy of a conversation that I do not necessarily wish to partake in. Borderline harassment.

Wow. Y'all are serious downers.

I try not to watch trailers, but I go to the theatre so often that I end up being forced to watch them.

Someone talking to me and someone expecting me to participate in their religious, or just observed, holidays is very different. Also we're not talking about one person one time, but all the time from most people from mid November until January 1st.

Nobody is making you participate. Oh well, I don't look to actively offend anybody but it's not my job to be your safe space. :) Speaking of the holidays, I think it's time to bust out Santa's Slay...

Same here, i dont want to see a trailer, or vevn read a review, of a flm i decided to see.
Oh, comon now, Bwall, theyre just sending you peaceful vibes with words related to the season. Im quite sure nobody is asking you to do anything... except receive some goodwill.

The Houses October Built.

Pretty fun watch. Far from perfect but effective enough to keep me involved. Very nice concept and decent excecution. The Halloween attractions are cool and range from pretty cheesy to damn scary, and some of the attractions characters are visually memorable. I'm glad I gave it a second look this Hallowday month.

Who or what's forcing you? You can always look at the floor or your phone or whatever.
That's what I do when pops up on tv.

The Relic

Fun little monster flick. It had some CGI, but it wasn't 3-headed Shark bad so I'd recommend it if you have a few hours to kill and want to watch morons picked off one by one.

"The Green Inferno" 7/10

"They got the munchies!!" ::big grin::

I was a rebel twat growing up, didn't like the C word, didn't like birthdays or having to hang out with family or any of that. But my dark days made me realize I should take any good will where ever it may be. If it has to wait until the holidays to make itself known, then so be it. Even if I don't like Thanksgiving, or celebrate non-Christian holidays. I return the good cheer, but I usually go with 'have a good one' for whatever rather than starting the chain of holiday greetings. Be it your upcoming festivities or just your day, have a good one. It makes a huge difference to some people's day.

ps why DOES the christain or whatever new year start off in January? The weather here is just the end of the fucking world. The roads and just everything are covered with snow and ice (mostly ice), single people on V-day are making poor life decisions and offing themselves. The mortality rate is just not a good one, if you ask me, new year should start in spring. It should be a matter of where you live, not culture. But eh, maybe that's just me too.

I enjoyed myself but like. I'm sitting there thinking... wait what just freaking happened?! ::big grin::
The build up was so gradual, that my brain had to work overtime to keep up with how fast the ending was. So the guy hit his wife then killed his co-workers? I feel something more severe happened at home like he hit the baby and killed it but it wasn't very clear on that. Just kept playing the same damn audio clip over and over again without showing us what happened.
I did enjoy the session tapes with Mary though. Simon's interview was worth the wait.

I saw this a few months ago and really liked it too. I remember talking to Horcrux about it and we thought there was something off about the ending. I think I was just getting attached to the characters and was upset to see what happened to them.

The idea behind this movie is what keeps it in good terms with me though. I really want to throw my friends in a van and go on a Haunted House road trip. ::smile::

"The Hollow" (2015) 4-5/10

Yes, not The Hallow. The Hollow.

A decent watch if it hadn't been for the 3 whiny and screaming main characters. Gave me a headache.

Apollo 18 (2011).

http://www.picz.ge/img/s4/1504/14/4/4f744c06aef0.jpg

Terrifying found footage space horror with several effective jump scares. Recommended.

oooh nooo...... that was awful

Liked Apollo 18 too. Not among the best but a pretty decent one, IMO.

Hated it. Nothing happened untill the very end.

I thought it started out decent but just got worse as it went on

I liked Apollo 18 right up until the reveal of the monster...

Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday (1993) - 7/10

Is this the one where Freddy's glove makes an appearance?

The same.

"Driftwood" 5-6/10

Not as much horror as a youth prison flick.

Kinda like The Devil's Backbone. Difference is, The Devils Backbone was freakin good.

Cell 213 (2011)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...psoxarnxlw.jpg

It billed as a "prison horror" with a decent cast that includes Bruce Greenwood & Michael Rooker. But damn...this isn't actually a horror movie! A boring drama that tries to be a "thriller"!

Children of the Night aka Limbo (2014)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...pskjyr2vdn.jpg

Alicia, a journalist who receives an unusual request from a nun named Erda who manages an orphanage in the Argentinian countryside known as Limbo. The orphanage, Alicia is told, is for children with a rare genetic disorder and the children are dying because of reasons unknown. Erda urges Alicia to come to Limbo and investigate their cause of death. After arriving at Limbo, Alicia discovers that the children are suffering from something called "Transylvirus," a kind of sensitivity to sunlight. The children sleep during the day and then come out to play at night, do their chores (and sometimes wicked stuffs too!), otherwise act like normal children, ranging in age from very young to their mid-teens. The more she documents their lives, Alicia is struck with the feeling that she's seen many of these children's faces before, but she can't seem to figure out where her sense of deja vu is coming from...

This low-budget horror film from Argentina got a beautiful heart & quite an interesting idea at the core of it which was, in my opinion, so promising that it even could be a decent follow up for the modern classic Let the Right One In (2008)!
But unfortunately it suffers for its inconsistent pacing, tone and amateurish production values. It lacks on cinematic approach, at times even felt like a weekly TV movie. Though personally I'm very much fond of low budget miracles but sadly to say this is one of those cases where I think the story really could have been benefited from a better budget, director and a cleverly written tighter script. I'm not saying that it deserves a big budget American or European remake but its conceptual intention to breaking down the conventional vampire mythology & does something else as well as at the same time dealing with so many great ideas like what it means to be young forever, child abuse, coming of age issues (and of course the overall set up) were intriguing enough to made me think that how much awesome it would be if the whole thing or at least the concept was to get treated by today's sophisticated filmmakers like Guillermo Del Toro (The Devil's Backbone) or J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage).

Despite its negative aspects I still loved it & like to recommend it here. It's a flawed but beautiful film.

>>: B+

I thought the ending did the film justice. I did think of an ending I would have liked more, but I was satisfied with where they took it. Overall, it's a fun little Halloween romp.
