Now horror

House at the End of the Street (2012)

One reason I have seen this movie early was cause of title of the movie but I have had it on my watch list for a bit and I was recommend this movie 3 days ago.

So gave this movie watch and first set go, I wasn't sure what actually going on, It didn't really make sense of it, while trying figuring it out, I thought I might missed something at start.

As the movie goes on the movies get way to predicable and some stuff in this movie was just waist of time.

I felt most of the movie very boring and I just not connect with any one and I should sorry for girl, who seem to be nasty person.

I actually felt sorry for the killer in this movie, well they gave him a little bit of back story to him.

After the movie ended, I was actually still waiting something to happen in this movie,

Watch-able movie but it id very weak pacing which make the movie uninteresting and at end of the movie you will feel humdrum, I know I did.

The acting was really decent from the whole, it shame about rest of the movie.

3 out of 10

Would You Rather (2012)

First part of them movie is about Iris who as a sick brother and ends unknowingly agrees to compete in a deadly game of "Would You Rather," hosted by a sadistic aristocrat.

Not bad movie but it not a great movie either, is just the Average at
best

I not sure what to make of this movie, well it was not boring, it was
tad predicable, how I could tell who going to be last one left from the
start.

I didn't like the ending twist, also so so that coming.

I was still intruded how they were going to do torture scene some
scenes did look really pain full in this movie and one nasty.

Some of other seem a bit tame, this movie could have not more exacting

It's a bad movie, it has it good and bad faults and the acting I found it better then I thought it would be.

I going to give this movie 5 out of 10 rather then 4 or 6 out of 10 :p

I did see the trailer before seeing this movie,, which made movie a
little bit better then it is.

No One Lives (2012)

I didn't even know about this movie until this week, Saw trailer and looked great.

A gang of thugs who end up messing with the wrong person, as the person they kidnapped turn out to be a Psychopath.

Wow this movie actually flew by, it really well paced and never gets boring at all, I was actually clued to the screen most of the movie.

There one moment in the movie, that stick with me for few hours after the movie, gross but also in away It was kind of funny.

I loved some of death scenes in this movie, some of were very gruesomely gory at time.

The weakest part of this movie is the acting from most of the cast were not that good and dose effect some scenes in this movie but don't let that get in away.

The rest of the movie is a lot of fun

Great Slasher 8 out of 10


Detention of the Dead (2012) Not that bad a bit better then I thought it would be.

This movie mixed of Detention meet Dance of the Dead ,

The movie dose not take to long to get going and there are some very funny moment that made
me laugh out loud.

He got normal dentenion group, Jock guys, hot cheerleader, goth girl, Drug guy and Nerd guy all
in Detention.

Also guys come to seem to feel unwell and then hell break lose of cause

There were some silly over the tops here and there and some of the jokes can go on bit long, but it got laughing.

Some part of the movie are little boring for zombie there, Didn't really do much and sit and talk few room, which I could not case less about.

It did start bit gory but as the movie went the zombie deaths seem to less bloody not really really that gory.

I give 4.8 out of 10, It made laugh,, I just round it's off to 5 out of 10

Dead Before Dawn (2012 )

I didn't not expect that at all, I found this movie very funny a bit to funny and I laughing number of times this movie, yes some of it seem silly at times but very funny.

I loved the plots of the movie, great idea spoof Zombie and Demon

The plot: a group of kids unleash a horrible zombie-demon ("zemon") curse on a small town. Everyone who makes eye contact with the kids kills themselves and comes back as a zemon, bent on killing the kids by giving them hickeys

It; was really fun and very enjoyable fast moving movie and really enjoyed how come people kill them self in this movie before they turn into Zemons.

Some of kills scenes is movie were very funny in this movie and there few splatters moment in this movie aswell but I think could done more gory deaths thought then they were.

The acting was really decent, It hard to tell if they pretend to play dump in some scene.

I wasn't really happy how the movie came to a end, it kind of feel bit cheated by and in the last scene of the movie is very predicable

I enjoyed most of the movie before the 10 minutes I may i rated higher but it still get decent 6 out of 10

Didn't hate it but the lead actor was terrible

metternich1815 06-25-2013 10:50 AM

I watched the following films a couple of nights ago (two for the first time, the others I have seen before) By the way, I will only review the films I have not seen before:

Hatchet (first time): 8/10 I thought it was funny and I definitely liked all the references to the slashers of the 1980s. For example, the killer, Victor Crowley, was a mongoloid who died by being burnt to death-an obvious fusion of Jason and Freddy. Plus, the cameos by three slasher legends Robert Englund (as a fisherman), Kane Hodder (as the killer), and Tony Todd (as a Vodoo tour guide). I thought that the ending was, whether intentional or not, a little empty. With the exception of the ending, this is an all-around good movie I would say.

Mama (first time) 8/10: I thought this film was really good. It had a really good story and was very effective at building suspense. Additionally, it featured some really good performances, especially Jessica Chastain and the two little girls (the younger girl was actually, in my opinion, scarier than the ghost). The two major flaws of this movie were one the ghost of Mama because she herself was not really that scary looking. I think the movie would have been much better off if they had not shown her as much. Second, I think the climax could have been better, the film was relatively intense and scary, then at the end it abruptly changes and it feels as though we are watching Ghost (1990). It was not a bad climax, but it just seemed out of place for a movie like this. Overall though, a really good movie for the reasons I described above.

Clive Barker's Hellraiser (I have seen many times before): 10/10

The Blair Witch Project (I have seen this several times before): 10/10

Ghoulie Joe 06-26-2013 04:02 PM

Mirrormask. It's made by Jim Henson's production company and written by Neil Gaiman. It's reminiscent of those epic 80s fantasy movies like Labyrinth.

Video Nasties: The Definitive Guide

A wonderful documentary detailing the politics behind the "video nasties" ordeal in Brittain in the 1980's.

5/5

metternich1815 06-26-2013 09:56 PM

Zombieland (2009): 10/10

I thought this film was one of the most brilliant horror comedies I have ever seen. It was interesting because it was very much a zombie film, while also managing to be quite funny. I especially like how this film was able to mix drama/seriousness with this humor. It was an interesting fusion. In my opinion, all the characters were very likeable and I could identify with them, especially Columbus as played by Jesse Eisenberg. Tallahassee as played by Woody Harrelson was the next best character. On that note, the roles were very well played and I actually felt for the characters. This film had a very human aspect to it. To the top it off, there is a great cameo from actor Bill Murray who played himself. On this note there is one other thing, however minor, that I loved which was the many pop culture references including, Hannah Montana, Twinkies, Ghostbusters, Titanic, Mountain Dew, Anaconda being just some of the references that were made throughout the film. It might be minor, but it made the world of the film seem more real. Ultimately, I loved this film because I thought it was brilliantly written and directed, featured some really good acting, and was quite funny, while still being serious at times. Definitely a modern horror comedy classic.

John Carpenter's The Thing

Not so fond of alien type movies but decided to watch this anyway. It's alright. Didn't find it that scary, only when you see the disgusting 'alien' is quite creepy. Find the movie a bit too slow for my liking, and depressing. I also hate anything that involve animals, so the dogs scene were very uncomfortable for me. I would say 3 out of 5.

The Possession (2012)

Nothing new.. the kid did a good job of being possessed but didn't find it scary either. Hated the jump cuts and aerial view at the beginning. But somehow I don't feel the movie connects to me, like I couldn't care less for any of the characters. Maybe I don't like any of the actors playing.. I don't feel they have the right emotion for it.

I would say 2.5 out of 5.

I have never seen the Possession. I am surprised by your rating of The Thing. The reason I ask is that I believe that the film is brilliantly directed by John Carpenter. It has an extremely dark, scary atmosphere. Additionally, it is (intentionally or unintentionally) a comment on both the Cold War and AIDS. The acting and character development is really high-quality (despite the large number of characters involved). The story is an interesting science fiction story based on the book "Who Goes There?." It is especially interesting to see how the characters who had so trusted each other slowly descend into paranoia and fear. Of course, one must mention the special effects, which were definitely ahead of their time. The score, despite not being composed by Carpenter, is quite eerie and match the film quite well. Of course, I love both science fiction and dark movies. I would definitely give the film a 10/10. To me, it deserves at least a 9/10 or in your system at least a four out of five. You have a right to your opinion, but it just surprises me.

knife_fight 06-27-2013 12:43 AM

Watched Hatchet 2 today. I thoroughly enjoyed the first one, so I don't know why it took me so long to see the second.

Not as good as the first one, to me, but it was definitely watchable.

Last Seen Movie
 
V/H/S/2 (2013)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psd0fc151e.jpg


My gut reaction to this movie is, "I liked it." Better than the first one? Sure. But let's look at the actual "parts" of the film:
  • Tape 49/frame narrative, Directed by Simon Barrett - I thought this was pretty weak. Not sure that we necessarily needed a frame/narrative. Felt like we were going through the motions just to get to the tapes - Why not just cut it and get us there? The payoff was pretty weak too.
  • Clinical Trials, Directed by Adam Wingard - The concept was weak as well as some of the acting. Meh.
  • A Ride in the Park by Eduardo Sánchez - Maybe I'm jaded but I thought of it as just another zombie movie - Meh.
  • Safe Haven, Directed by Gareth Huw Evans - This, by far, was the best short. Really loved it and is probably what made this whole movie work for me.
  • Alien Abduction Slumber Party Directed by Jason Eisener - This was probably my 2nd favorite of the shorts - Definitely built up great suspense and had some fantastic scenes - Outside of the silly looking aliens I thought that it was solid.

3/5.

Dark Skies (2013)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psdfaa280a.jpg


I found this movie surprisingly effective - Definitely well-done and suspenseful. I had low expectations, and was pleasantly surprised.


3/5.


...


Never Let Me Go (2010)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps84ee0447.jpg


There's a lot to like about this movie - It's a very subtle scifi slow-burner that deals with a pretty horrifying concept... What I really liked about it especially was the fact that we don't have people discovering the twist per se (SOILANT GREEN IS PEOPLE)... Our characters are just living it.

My big issue is that ultimately the movie is trying to create a feeling of utter helplessness but I didn't necessarily buy the inescapably of it.

2.75/5


...


Warm Bodies (2013)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps93ce96a8.jpg


I really really wanted to like this movie. Honestly, I think that my favorite part of it was Rob Corddry. The writing was really poor - The voice over was insipid and annoying and the main female, who is supposedly badass, made some really confusingly dumb decisions - In general this was one of those odd movies where characters continually make decisions that are just unbelievable. Pretty disappointing.


2/5.

Truth or Die (2012)

4.75/5.

Man of Steel (2013)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps0e7856c9.jpg


This movie was just awful. First it was incredibly boring and then the last action sequence just dragged on. I don't really understand why we needed another Superman movie.

2/5.

cheebacheeba 07-02-2013 02:59 AM

World War Z.
Have not really read any of Brooks work outside bits of the Calendar edition of the survival guide...so not sure how this sums up in comparison...

I thought it was "ok". Not great, not aweful.
I had more problems with the fuckwits attending the cinema than the movie itself...I swear, I must make sure never to take a weapon in with me...

I'd give it about a 6.5/10.
I'd recommend seeing it, but maybe when it hits dvd/BR.

The Villain 07-02-2013 03:30 PM

World War Z
I thought this was awesome. It had a good story, was exciting the whole way through and nobody made any stupid decisions that ruined everything.

SPOILERS
I really loved the scene where Brad Pitt is walking towards the zombies at the end and they all just run around him because he infected himself with the virus to camouflage himself. It was an excellently done scene and it's the kind of moment i live for in movies.
END OF SPOILERS

The Next Three Days
Second time seeing this one. I especially love the third part of the movie. Everything Russel Crowe's character does in the last part is so smart. My girlfriend thought it was just ok due to the poor parenting decisions. She was hoping they would get arrested or die and the kid would go to the grandparents. Shes a little dark :cool:

CreedNoir 07-02-2013 07:58 PM

The Shrine
This movie was actually better than what I was hoping for. It also has an interesting ending that you don't typically see in movies. I really wouldn't call this movie "horror", but rather dark fantasy. The villagers pack pretty mean crossbows however.

hammerfan 07-03-2013 06:11 AM

Not really sure if this qualifies as a movie, but, I watched "56 Up" last night. I'm so intrigued by this series. Started when the people were 7 years old and has gone back every 7 years to follow up with them.

Man Of Steel 2/5

I was really disappointed by this. The first 15 minutes I was 'This is the greatest movie I have ever seen', but afterwards it sunk faster than the Titanic. Did not like the completely different story line, too much past flashbacks, acting rubbish.

A Few Good Men meets Minority Report. Unfortunately, it neither has the class of the former nor the finesse of the latter. Most parts of the film drags and that's the first of many drawbacks. Skip.

Journey To The Center of The Earth
A fun movie with an interesting story and good acting. Made me want to read the book.

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
More fun then the first and really funny. Also made me want to read the book.

The Lone Ranger
I really liked this. It was a lot of fun. Both Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp were great in their roles, especially Depp as Tonto. There were some ridiculous action parts but in a silly fun way like Pirates of The Caribbean. I hope they make more.

Sadistic _and_ smart. How is that possible? I'm surprised I haven't noticed this one mentioned around the web. Some drama, some torture, and a whole lottta messing with your head.

8/10

Detention.

I hated the first 5 minutes, and almost turned it off.

It gets muddled toward the end when they try and impose a plot on all the craziness that happens in between, but that in between part is hilarious, smart, fast paced.

A solid horror comedy that hits its mark about 80% of the time.

The Expendables 2" (2012)
-Stallone,Schwarzenegger,Norris,Statham,Van Damme,Willis

Plot:IMDB
Mr. Church reunites the Expendables for what should be an easy paycheck, but when one of their men is murdered on the job, their quest for revenge puts them deep in enemy territory and up against an unexpected threat.

Phantom's Review: Ultra violent,mindless,gory and almost totally plotless.....I LOVED IT!
Let's face it, you don't see an "Expendables" movie for it's scintillating dialogue and award winning acting, you wanna see them blow shit up! And that's what you get.
This movie delivers exactly what it promises. ACTION! and plenty of self deprecating humor. A complete and total popcorn movie.
A total blast.

Really glad you liked it - I think it's a movie that's easy to hate, so I think that people's reactions are really interesting to hear - It's definitely frenetic and weird, but ultimately entertaining. Definitely has rewatch value for me. :D

Super (2010)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps831a58bb.jpg


Already mentioned this in the Netflix thread but I figured it was worth a re-mention since I enjoyed it even more the second time that I watched it. Really dark, off-beat, but heart-breakingly honest and charming. Absolutely adored this movie. A lot of people are comparing it to Defendor, which makes sense. I loved that movie as well, but Super just edges over it in my opinion. Definitely recommended.

The Purge
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...ps91acaf56.jpg

Someone else said this here, i don't remember who, but they said that the film would've been better if they had gone more into detail about The Purge. I felt the same way, it was on too small a scale. I would've liked to see more about the state of America to cause the Purge and better demonstrations of its carnage. Maybe show the night of the first purge or show the whole system collapse. In the end this movie just became a gimmicky home invasion movie filled with stupid annoying characters who make dumb decisions. Nothing about this movie is scary or even interesting. Really disappointed.

I've heard a lot of good things about that. The only thing that's kept me from watching it is how much i don't like Rainn Wilson.
