Of course he could have killed her when he was standing right behind her in the beginning... He's got a freakin crossbow! he's not into easy, he's into challenge, and chase. Did you miss that whole concept? Once you accept that, I thought it played out fairly realistic, padding in some of those messing-with-you horror concepts.

What liked most was it stayed focused on what it was. The character development was very focused... they just told you about things they were gong to use later on. Very Hitchcockian focus. You missed it, Chump!

It was fast paced, I give you that. The whole movie was just so damn mediocre and the killer was just so damn plain looking. Why the hell did he remove that mask? That was the only thing that made the movie a little bit interesting and different. And why was the woman deaf-mute? She might as well not have been as her handicap didn't really come into play that much other than during the first kill.

Yes you're right, I totally missed the Hitchcokian brilliantness of the movie. ::roll eyes::

4/10

Finishable, but obviously directed at teens due to plot holes and apparently the invading army are filled with soldiers that can't hit anything. It pushes the suspension of disbelief too far. Also the moral dilemma of the characters is what I think would be called...'hand wringing'? Its annoying. Its worth one watch I suppose. The kind of movie to watch when you're really sick, stuck on a couch, and want to watch something that doesn't require much thought or emotional investment. Unless you're a teenager. Horrorcrux obviously not included in that category due to being smart with refined taste. ;P

Overall, I liked it, but hated the ending. Eggers could have done a MUCH better job with the way it ended. Personally, I would have ended it with her walking into the woods.

Yeah, I felt the same way....something was missing

I recently watched it and I thought the ending was something that had been used before, not original at all.

The Darkness (2016)

Sometimes, a bad horror movie can have some redeeming quality to make it at least watchable for its runtime even if you'll forget about it the next day. Then, about once a year, the stars align, Wes Craven rolls in his grave, and a movie like The Darkness limps into theaters, a horror flick that's so inept at everything it tries to accomplish that it only triggers catcalls from the audience. In The Darkness, the whitest family I've ever seen goes on a family trip to the Grand Canyon, and by some ridiculous series of events, the son brings back five rocks that have Native American demons inside them. The family is now haunted by some incredibly convoluted curse, and demon stuff happens. I can't even say anything specific because nothing really scary happens to this family. Every single scare is just a door opening, the faucet turning on, a dog nonchalantly walking down a hallway, or handprints appearing on the wall. There aren't any scares because every time something that resembles a shock comes along that thing isn't scary! It's a faucet! The only thing that came out of the faucet was a little bit of water, they didn't even try to put blood or black crap coming out of it or anything! And then in an effort to save this god forsaken atrocity, they try to put some stupid family drama in the plot that's referenced once and never mentioned again. The daughter has bullimia? Who cares, put black handprints on her! Mom has a drinking problem? Might as well have the faucet turn back on! Not to mention there are several characters that enter the plot for two scenes and then mysteriously disappear. I've never seen a horror movie so incompetent at every single basic aspect of filmmaking. I can't pinpoint one exact reason why I hate this movie so much other than the sole reason that it exists. I could name about fifty other movies that I've given bad reviews that I would rather watch than this train wreck. I think I can now give every other horror movie the benefit that it's not as bad as The Darkness.

I typically don't like giving zeroes just because giving something a 0/10 seems ridiculous, but when a film is this infuriating, I have to.

0/10

A movie about a woman serial killer who kills children.

Wasn't horror. More of a children's movie actually. Dull..

Trip to Bhangarh - Bollywood horror, OK if you like that sort of thing. I don't. 5/10
The Veil - more found footage instead of flashbacks 7/10
Marianne - The Ghost Inside - so many flashbacks I got lost 7/10
The Sacred - they should have made the main character an exotic dancer, then the first half might have made sense 6/10
Kung Fu and Titties - needed more Kung Fu 5/10

Beneath Loch Ness
Jesus H Christ this had THE WORST CGI. I'm not even exaggerating. They couldn't even film at an actual train station. It was fucking photoshopped. Didn't even add a shadow, an art student in their first semester would've done better! Also, CGI rocks is just fucking lazy. ::mad::

HELLBOY (2004). Really like a lot of Del Toro's work (especially THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE), but really had a hard time getting through this. Good CGI and actors, but just found the title character to be The Thing (FANTASTIC FOUR) and for me, it just doesn't gel. *

If you're a fan of war movies such as Black Hawk Down and Lone Survivor this movie is probably for you. I'm not a big fan of war movies, so... meh, it was alright.

Also loved the jokes aimed at adults like Tommy Chong's voice for stoner looking animal and the references to The Godfather.

Yes, the whole thing felt like an adult comedy disguised as a children's Cartoon movie. Nice.

At one time the bunny was called Plug Butt, if I heard it correctly. ::big grin::

With Heaven & Hell and the upcoming Sausage Party I think we're finally getting more adult cartoon movies.

The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014)

Alzheimer's is a terrifying and devastating disease that would put any horror movie to shame by itself, unless, of course, it also causes someone to be possessed by a demon. The Taking of Deborah Logan is a sort of cross between the mockumentary "lost in the woods" style of The Blair Witch Project and the haunted house security cameras of Paranormal Activity to make a frequently scary and engrossing little gem. The Taking of Deborah Logan follows, you guessed it, three filmmakers who are making a documentary, but this time it's about Alzheimer's. They got to the home of the proper and elderly Deborah Logan to film her life with the disease while her daughter, Sarah Logan, also gives commentary on how Deborah's condition has affected her. As weeks pass and Deborah's mental state deteriorates, the four believe that something else might have latched onto her dwindling mind. The film starts out giving some backstory to both Deborah and Sarah with small explanations of the disease along the way. It does make the dynamic between the two more compelling especially towards the end of the movie when Deborah is completely possessed. Although, this movie does fall victim to one little pet peeve of mine. Something that comes up in a couple of found footage movies that makes no logical sense to me is that, why would the footage be edited to include music or any extra effects that aren't on camera? In The Taking, they added little animations illustrating the disease or parts of a documentary they were watching. Why would they take the time to edit all of that in there when, by the time the movie is over, it's obviously not going to be a documentary anymore? There's also the fact that there are obvious sound effects whenever there's a jump scare. Speaking of jump scares, something I enjoyed immensely about The Taking were several scenes in which you'd expect an obvious jump scare and instead the scene just relied on its atmosphere. Those scenes are far scarier than any of the jump scenes, and although I like a good jump scare, they need to be earned. Jill Larson is incredible as Deborah Logan and is definitely one of the better "spooky old ladies" I've seen in a horror movie. The absorbing plot also distinguishes this from being just another possession flick. The Taking of Deborah Logan is a fun and creepy Netflix gem and a must-watch for found footage fans.

7/10

I want to say this was a good flick, but a few things about it bother me. Mostly the paranormal aspect. It wasn't done too well, and in fact I don't think it was entirely necessary at all.

Dude, there was a bigass pea under your eight-stacked-high mattress when you saw Hellboy... cause it's all kind of interesting weird good warm hearted love fun. On any other day you would have really liked it, like a fine champagne with angel food cake, strawberries and whooped cream.
