Amityville II: The possession (1982)

Just forget about whether it's a sequel or prequel of 1979 Amityville Horror & whether it was loosely or heavily based on an actual story/hoax or not...if you can watch it with an open mind ignoring all the details about the 'Amityville' then it can turn out to be an absolute blast, like the way I enjoyed it last night!

The first half was full with terrifying paranormal activities that comes with some nice camera works & effects. The demonic facial make up & the exorcism part at the end all in all worked pretty well together with a straight forward, fast paced interesting story & characters. I'm adding it to my list of best occult & haunted house sub genre films for sure.

A big thanks to V for the rec.:)

The Day the Earth stood Still (1951). This sci-fi classic is just as powerful today as ever. Sans laser guns and space battles, Robert Wise instead creates a movie whose brilliance relies on a superbly told simple story that is augmented by great performances. From scene to scene, he captures endearing moments that help to define humanity. From our penchant to shoot first and ask questions, moments of sublime grace, and our undying curiosity, many of man's inclinations are illustrated with aplomb. This classic had indeed stood the test of time, and will likely do so for years to come. Mercie beaucoup.

Man, this movie scared the bejeezus out of me when I was a kid.

"The Donner party" (2009) 3/10


Interesting story horribly directed. For shame..

One helluva disturbing "torture" scene.

Man, aliens are evil!!

mother of tears

Law Abiding Citizen: Utterly ridiculous but kinda fun action/ thriller.

Grotesque

A mix of the Pinku Eiga flicks, Flower of Flesh & Blood (a lot more depth than that one) and like the cover said Saw. A couple of twisted scenes illustrated why this has been banned in a few places. There was a great WTF moment towards then end that some might find completely ridiculous (or else quite funny like I did). The storyline is a lot less original than Human Centipede but I liked this film a lot more.

This was excellent. Worked well as a companion piece to Kick-Ass which I watched a few nights before. Harrelson was great and reminded me of what a great actor he is by taking over the screen in a way I hadn't seen since Natural Born Killers or The People vs Larry Flynt. This film had a lot of heart which was refreshing.

Man, no kidding. I will punch any alien that tries to abduct me.
