nope, i gave it a 2/10 i think-saw it in the theaters and literally fell asleep

Watch The Innocents. You might like that better.

What's that one about?

Read a synopsis, and I can see the correlation. I'll watch it tonight.

HONEYMOON 2014


Newlyweds Bea and Paul honeymoon at Bea's family cottage. Its the off season so they are pretty isolated but this seems to suit them just fine.
One night Paul wakes up to find Bea missing and discovers her naked and disoriented in the woods. So starts their nightmare.

Bit of a numbing pace, definitely not on the edge of your seat kind of stuff, but enjoyable with a few little surprises.

Gone Girl

This is one of the most interesting, intelligently crafted movie's i've ever seen. The plot keeps you guessing the whole way through and with it's many layers throws you around and messes with your head so you don't know what to think. Great story, great acting and phenomenal directing from Fincher. I loved how different it was from other movies with similar plots. I strongly recommend checking this out.

9/10

So i thought this was going to be a movie about a boy finding out his brother is a serial killer and even though that is a major plot point, it's more about the main character's life and what he's going through. The little brother is a sad misunderstood picked on kid who is completely alone in life. The kids all pick on him, his friends abandon him, his parents treat him like shit, he's terrified to be in his own home, and the only person in his life he thought he could count on turns out to be a serial killer. Instead of a slasher movie we see how the boy is not only affected by the truth about his brother but whats going on with him mentally due to everything in his life. I really felt for the boy in this movie and genuinely cared for him. The serial killer storyline does come to a head with a big payoff at the end that actually does tie everything together if you can put yourself in the boys head and feel what he is going through. This actually could've been more of a drama then a horror movie but there are some pretty messed up parts like the VHS tape Headless he watched and of course the finale. Theres definitely some fucked up shit here but if really get into the kids head, there is a great and tragic story here.

8/10

Very slow and extremely subtle. If you really enjoy extremely subtle interactions between people you hardly know, and will hardly know by the end of the film, you may like this. There really wasn't enough characterization at all, core human characteristics for a film story, let alone within a plot framework, for me to care much about any of these characters. I didn't wish them any harm, but yeesh, their fictional, so who cares about a bunch of their subtle life moments?

The plot... oh my, now that was plodding. A little here, a little there, about this creature. Eighty percent of the Supernatural TV episodes were more interesting, intriguing, suspenseful, visually striking, creepy & scary. And at least those episodes had a sense of humor.

I just wanted the film to get on with it, have something happen, &/or say something meaningful. A couple things happened over the 87 minutes. It could barely fill a trailer. My life isn't dull enough to watch films like this.

Cradle 2 the Grave.
Half asleep during this one, though not first time viewing.
Some nice action sequences in a relatively brainless film.
Personally out of Jet Lis US films, I preferred Romeo Must Die quite a lot.

Death Becomes Her.
Another one I put on as my brother had never seen it.
He enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. Had forgotten a lot of it. Funny movie.
Very Burtonesque. Still find the backwards head/broken neck walking around scene a little difficult to look at.

I wasn't impressed either. I thought it was unnecessarily slow... hardly anything happened. However, I think that when the movie wanted to be scary and creepy, it was.

The Purge, best part of the flick was the masks!

i found this quite slow and strung out too.

i enjoyed the purge, i like house hostage movies tho.

and yeah villain i thought gone girl was excellent too tho i found the ending a little rushed.

Yeah I can see what you mean by that. It kinda just comes at you suddenly

I admit there's no way you'll know where this story is going. But besides that... Meh..

"Gone Girl" 6-7/10

Dracula Untold (2014)
I didn't mind the different take on old Vlad. With some changes in the script and the addition of lots of blood & gore this could've been a sweet action-horror movie.

it was different but i found it felt dated even tho it was brand new.

I Liked it. 😊 7-8/10

THE GANZFELD HAUNTING

Made it about halfway through. Too much cocaine, panties and couch dancing. No horror in that except the waste of a Friday evening.::sad::

This is definitely a very good indie feature with a great story indeed! The young actors playing the kid & his killer bro did a fantastic job but still...I'm not complaining, just the thought that came to my mind while watching it was the whole movie could have been 'better' or benefited more if the script, cast & the direction parts were treated by some more professional individuals; as sometime it just felt like bit unnecessarily pulled things slow & made the moments little dull. I can't help but wondering how more awesome it could be if the same story got the film treatment by directors like G. Del Toro or J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage)! The story got all the potential to be the next big thing in Horror arena after or alongside with Let the Right One In.

That is true. Loved the skinny black creature fingers. Competent technique in it's few & very far between creepy/scary moments. Which made it all the more "if I only had bigger budget, or bigger balls" film. How bad did Mike Flanagan want to break into the walls of the underpass tunnel? He keep going there, but never delivered.

---SPOILERS---
'Not seeing it' didn't deliver. And how about this... the scene where the abducted husband plunges his hand into his wife's pregnant belly, which was a dream, that's never explained. Did he want to harm the child? When he's found alive, it should have been revealed. But it wasn't. No time or budget for that?

And after the husband is home, and sees she's pregnant, he gives a confused look, and that's it. That all we get? Budget constraints on this character-driven horror film? There's subtle, & then there's just too brief & not enough. And with budget constraints, there's creative ways to reveal what the creature is, it's motives, etc. Some reviews suggest this is an independent gem because of great subtlety... of what? characterization? This didn't deliver Terms of Endearment characters.

But since it didn't have your suggestions, it was pretty bad?

LOL! "couch dancing"! The horror of a wasted Friday evening. They should just put a big yellow burst icon with the words "Soft Porn" on the box.

I'm sure it would've been better but it probably would've been a completely different type of movie as well focusing on the brother and his killings instead of the little brothers issues.

totally awesome

a so called "comedy" oh my days it was soooo unfunny. -1/10

To be fair, I probably should have watched the whole thing to see if the plethora of sex, booze and drugs was integral to the plot but I just found it too juvenile.
How do I quote just part of a post instead of reposting the whole thing?

Delete the part of the quoted text that you don't want.

Ok, keeping in mind that I am technically challenged, do you mean just backspace till I erase it all? There's got to be a better way.

Select the bit you want to delete with your mouse cursor.
Put the cursor at the start of the bit, click and hold the button, drag the cursor to the end of the bit you want to delete. Press delete.
I hope this helps.

Thanks sweetie, but I should have stated that I just have a touchpad so I have no mouse. I thought there might be something in all the little icons above the message I'm posting. ( I don't even no what half of them mean).

Thanks too, horcrux.

Or "Couch dancing". ::big grin::

The Wicker Man (2006)
 

One of my biggest guilty pleasures.

TORTURE CHAmBER (2013)
 

child possession, torture, religin and what looks like your very own hell, nothing much original but not all bad, passed on an hour 6/10

:shocked:

I give that movie a 2/10

At the Devil's Hand

3/10

I found it to be boring and dull. It could have been better considering the plot was decent.

IN THE BLOOD
 

kidknap thriller, medium budget but well executed with a bad as female lead 7/10

That's a really high rating for that movie. It's one of the worst films I've ever seen, but it's funny as hell.

Part 6 in the series. Read in an article that this one's not that bad and I gotta admit, it's kinda good. Lots of ass-kicking with a nice amount of blood and a bit of nudity. It's better than the original and I'm actually looking forward to a possible sequel.

Men Behind the Sun

I didn't know that the movie was based on actual events, wow.

BLOOD LAKE ATTACK OF THE KILLER LAMPREYS
 

total silliness but fun all the same. 3/10

Watched Oculus last night and Guardians of the Galaxy a little while ago. Really enjoyed Oculus, creeped me out. Guardians was good, don't know if I'll buy it, though.

A friend of mine told me about the experiments a few Japanese "scientists" and "doctors" assaulted on thousands Chinese civilians, including women and children, and prisoners of war from other countries. Completely horrendous & disgusting. My friend read to me they even put a non-anesthetized, conscious woman into boiling water (& naturally she died). I can't even comprehend a war or medical reason for this, as soldiers don't fall into boiling water.

Just my opinion, but I think the subject is better left as a documentary. The notion of this as entertainment is reprehensible.

Ya, I thought Guardians was entertaining. I wasn't blown away by it in the least.
