"Paranormal Activity 4" (2012)
Plot: It has been five years since Katie murdered her sister and disappeared with her infant nephew, Hunter, in tow. Now, a new family is about to fall prey to nighttime terrors. A mysterious accident next door leads to teenage Alex and her family becoming the temporary guardians of Robbie, a very creepy neighbor boy. Cameras installed throughout Alex's home capture the sinister events that unfold after Robbie's arrival. Phantom's Review: When the "home video/Found Footage" type of films first started, I rather enjoyed them. Films like "Paranormal Activity" (1), "Cloverfield", (rec) and a few others were very entertaining. But now with "PA4" I think that ship has sailed and won't be coming back for a while. It's not so much that this is a bad film, it's not, the actors do a good job and there are a couple of decent BOO! scenes, it's just a feeling of "Been There/Seen That". The series has completely lost any sense of originality, that it once had (probably due to too many sequels and imitations)Right from the beginning you could tell who was going to get it, where most of the major scares were coming from and what was going to happen next. Not bad as a rental, but I think it's time to wrap this franchise up. |
The ABC Of Death
Extremely strange. Compliation of shorts, one for each letter of the alphabet. |
"Hotel Transylvania"(2012)
Plot: IMDB Dracula, who operates a high-end resort away from the human world, goes into overprotective mode when a boy discovers the resort and falls for the count's teen-aged daughter. Phantom's Review: First, let me say, I can't stand Adam Sandler. Don't know why, he just irritates the shit out of me. Now, having said that, I must say that I liked "Hotel Transylvania". It's cute, silly and has some fun spoofs of the classic movie monsters. It's not great by any means, but it's a fun family movie, and it's a good way to introduce the classic monsters to a younger audience. |

Night of the Demons (Remake) *
SOME SPOILERS I barely remember watching the original. I don't think it was that good. Looking at parts of the movie on youtube, the only thing I barely remember is the Asian girl. I believe a member here showed me the kissing death scene too for a topic I created. This remake starts off well. It has an old school vintage horror opening with a kill that's surprising. I heard of it happening before but we see it here in practice. Then it goes to present day New Orleans. They did good casting the actresses. The movie had me hooked from the moment Diora Baird is applying her sexy cat girl makeup. It also has Monica Keena from Freddy vs Jason. She's almost the same character or is perfecting her acting method here. Shannon Elizabeth and Bobbi Sue Luther finish off the good casting on the girls. Both dabbled in horror before. Bobbi Sue looks like she's going to explode out of her dress in the movie. One character mentions it too. Also in the movie is Edward Furlong. I haven't seen him in anything since Terminator 2. I just read a recent story about him getting into trouble for beating his girlfriend. Well, he plays a low end drug dealer in this movie. And really looks gone for much of the movie too. It's kind of funny. The premise is basically the house has demons that come out on Halloween. Simple and handled well for the most part. But there are some small things that were disappointing. They could have worked on the environments more. Some of the group leave the house a few times. It could have been like the first Resident Evil videogame with paths and a fountain or something. This is New Orleans and there is a lot of old architectural details down there. They did give the house an underground tunnel which was fairly interesting. I didn't like the demon designs that much. The main one is the best. There were a few uninspired zombie like creatures. A Medusa like creature with tentacles which was a real missed opportunity. I've seen some wild stuff with tentacle monsters and Night of the Demons doesn't even come close. The skull monster is kind of scary. But something horrible happens to a pretty girl for the monster to reveal itself. Also, Diora Baird has a sex scene with her top on. No guy in the world would keep her top on. I remember a popular actress mentioning once that sex scenes with tops on pulled her out of movies. But this could be explained away as the guy is a bisexual demon and into backdoor practices. Anyway, she does get a wild topless scene later in the movie. I think Shannon Elizabeth became known for a topless scene in that American Pie movie. I've never seen it. But no topless for her here. Just a wild bottle scene. And a good scene with her in a spinning room. I liked that one a lot. This probably could have been a classic with a little more thought on the creature design/environment and some better guy characters. But I'll still add it to my horror collection one day. * Disclaimer. I was drinking while watching this movie. And all of the actresses, who are already very pretty, are wearing fishnets. Which is more than a plus in my book. |

"Django Unchained" (2012)
Plot: Two years before the Civil War, Django (Jamie Foxx), a slave, finds himself accompanying an unorthodox German bounty hunter named Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) on a mission to capture the vicious Brittle brothers. Their mission successful, Schultz frees Django, and together they hunt the South's most-wanted criminals. Their travels take them to the infamous plantation of shady Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), where Django's long-lost wife (Kerry Washington) is still a slave. Phantom's Review: As far as I'm concerned Quentin Taratino can make westerns for the rest of his career, and I'll be happy about it. I loved this movie. It's violent, gory and foul mouthed, but it's the closest thing we will get to a spaghetti western in this modern era. Terrific performances from the cast, and it was cool to see the original "Django" Franco Nero make a cameo. It's great to see a western be a box office hit again. |
GI Joe: Retaliation
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6993b501.jpg There's a lot i liked about this and a lot i didn't. I wasn't happy with some of the choices they made with the characters they used, it felt like the whole team of good guys were comprised of minor characters and they didnt even bother using Destro. It wasn't as cheesy as the first one but the first one also felt more like a GI Joe movie, this felt more like an action movie simply using the GI Joe name. The action scenes were pretty good though and the story wasn't terrible. If i wasn't comparing it to the first one i would say it was decent. If you're gonna check this out though, i'd suggest waiting for the DVD. |
Seen A few since my last post
Leprechaun (1993) I saw this on Paddy Dad This movie started of quicker then I thought it would be and in the the first scenes, we already the Green little Monster. There was very funny moment in this movie that made laugh, there some very silly moments in this movie, that don't think were that funny at times, they tried to be a little too funny. I would have thought this movie , would have been a lot more gory then it was, there were some bloody moment, I never seen anyone get killed by Pogo-stick before. I also liked the way, how they got rid of Leprechaun, that were some good old melting effects. 7 out of 10 Leprechaun 2 (1994) Is back again! This movie was no were near as decent as first one, which was just about decent with fun factor put in there. This movie did not have any of fun factor that first movie had, The lead girl in this movie, which wide eyes and Scream, . Which was way over the top. After that, I knew I was in tough ride. As ^ That was first scenes, as the movie went on, I got bored of it. I left the movie on and started doing another things as well, I Don't think there was one scenes that I actually liked in this movie. The acting was really bad in this movie as were the effects and the dull plot! 1 out of 10 (This is were series stopped for me. Even had 3 Beers before this movie, was drinking my 4th beer while it was on, that didn't even help!) Terror Tract (2000) Another anthology which is stable as more of dark comedy Horror movie A a real-estate agent (Played by Late John" Ritter trying to sell a variety of houses to a young couple; They 3 different house and they all seem have very Dark Pass! (The first House) "Nightmare" A man catches is wife sleeping another, soon thing happen, when tries to revenge on her boyfriend, soon what thing lead to another, some one killed, that body was sleeping with the fishes. This segment started of really well but as the it's went down hill really quick . There some decent scenes that could have been really creepy but so many of those ending being fake scare. When any another scary scenes happen you already know that already try to creep out with also the same scenes twice , one tiny thing changes in those scene, Its got boring, I didn't really care the near the end of this story, Decent story but ruined by to many fake scare too close to each other! 4/10 After hearing that Story, the young couple didn't what to buy this house, so go to other house, which they love Until Man tells them story about this house "Bobo," Normal nice family father and daughter getting along really well, until she finds the monkey in the tree. She ask her dad to keep it but some the Monkey hates everyone but the girl, The Dad not happy at all, Daughter is acting like a right brat, who should be slap too next year! Never mind go to her room The monkey soon start attacking but it's shame with only see aftermath of monkey, we don't see he attack in first few animals and people its kills. At end, we do see attack one person in the movie, which far to late the story, I thought attack was decent. This never really had ending, never see what happens in end of story, we only gun shot but dad was not holding the gun. The acting was really good in this story from whole cast! 6/10 Again Young couple pass on this house And they go too next house Come To Granny" Teenager who seem have psychic abilities and he goes to see a therapist, he tells her he as crazy visions in which he sees the Granny killer killing his victims. (Granny mask was very cool and funny in way). When he gets these Visions is starts having a fit (Which was poorly acted in flash back) then he warns her that she next Victim of the Granny killer. This one was Decent story but very predicable and some of worst acted segment in this movie and I didn't like the Idea of Granny kill Mask. 4 out of 10 The couple refusing to buy any of the houses, The estate agent goes mad and snaps! soon things turns nasty. The last scenes was bloody funny, the whole neighbour hood was crazy, every house some thing bad was going on. I give this movie 7 out of 10 The Vault of Horror (1973) Also know Further Tales from the Crypt and Tales from the Crypt II Five strangers meet and end up getting stuck in room, so then each of them tell them a dream, When first one Framing Story Harold tracks down sister as their father died, so her their father as giving her everything so, he track her down, it's not every turn out the way he wanted to do This was one was just about decent, there some cool twist at the end of this movie, Did dose really a little out dated a bit. 5 out of 10 The Neat Job The as got to be the most Stumper story I have seen, (My older brother his a bit like him) is very neatly but I don't think even, he said can't you do anything Neatly. I found the think way of the top act, the story, the ending was planing stupid. 1/10 This Trick’ll Kill A bit better then the last story Sebastian and is wife are india and looking for new trick and he finds this girl. who dose a trick, he want her trick and as he ask her to hotel room, it's her first mistake and His too. I didn't like sound effect in story at all, it's just sounded odd.. I didn't really get the rest of , for me it made sense at all, I found its very silly and ending I didn't really get it! (This another one that felt a little outdated as well) 3/10 Bargain in Death This wasn't to be bad, Scan between to Friends, back stabbing and then karma strikes there one decent scarce Scene in this movie and I did I liked how story came to a end. Drawn and Quartered They saved the best story for last, I loved this, this was great story about Painter. who gets some voodoo pen /pins and start Draw with the them. He pain someone, when he wants his revenge , he dose nasty stuff the pictures , which happens to them in really life, for time this movie came decent. Some things did bother me in this movie, that would spoiler the movie over all I did enjoy the last story 8/10 Overall, This was very disappointing, then some really silly segments in this movie, the last story saved the movie a bit! 7 out of 10 , Body Bags (1993) This corpse tells 3 stories about this other bodies in the morgue "The Gas Station" Anna who arrives for her first job at working the night shift at an all-night filling station And Bill her Boss tell her to care full of people as t a serial killer has broken out of mental hospital. So keeps the booth Closed most of time, The short is was on edge, serving peope! This short was good, there was some little tense moment in this movie were well done and I really liked the twist was really good and I really liked how the segment ended 7/10 "Hair" Richard Who's getting bald and then when he advert on TV about miracle' hair transplant operation, and goes thought with it and really happy with results. Soon he keeps growing in places that never meant to have year, I not sure what to think of this one, I found this bit of weak story and Some of effects in this short. 5/10 Decent "Eye" I would say this was the best of bunch, They saved best for last! Brent ends up losing one of his Eyes after Car Crash (Which Could have been done better) But there one nasty gory scenes in that Crash, Which I thought was decent. When doctor tells his could get new Eye after the doctor tells and again after he also happy wit results. Until take Dark turn in the story! I really liked this story, very well paced and some really good acting from the cast, some very wearied scenes in a good way! I liked how the story came to end really good! 8/10 Not bad anthology the whole movie I give 7/10 |
Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)
I have seen once before but I Could not remember much of it in my first watch It's no were near as good as first movie, We all that coming, There should not even been sequel to this movie, never mind 3, (4 and 5 both of these are the same movies) I did like the sound of plot of movie, I thought it started of decent but really on in the movie is went off into r, science fiction, and fantasy. Which just felt really wrong and Another thing I didn't like how it's was going back and forward to the real and Dream world. It go annoying and it's happens way to many times this, some times those scene were just odd in Bad way there were some scenes I thought decent in this movie but I don't think was one scary or shocking moment in this movie, will shock anyone! Some of the effects were not bad but Could have been done and the acting was really good from the whole cast! 4/10 -Worth watching a least once! Unaware (2010) Another one those found footage movies , I have been looking forward to this movie since the trailer came. The trailer seem great however this as got to be one the BIGGEST Disappointment's Ever! This as got to be the most boring-est and dullest movie I have ever sat thought, there nothing really happens until hour into the movie. Little things were like over in an flash and then panic and then it's calm down for again until last five minutes of the movie, where the movie start going and of course ends! The scenes was okay but nothing great at all as there were no suspense in this movie at all, not sure what to thing of the Alien. I felt I seen this done before and better in Alien Abduction: The McPherson Tape (Which not great but still miles better this movie) And what hell was the point of that end of Credit scene, Blue sky! The acting was wooden at times by lead Male, the Girl scream was good! One of the worst and dullest of them Found footage movies 3/10 Very, Very, VERY! Poor! (I can't believe , That I was actually dying to see this movie, I am at my self ) The Exorcist III (1990) This I have really mixed feeling about, It is much better the Second movie in the series but still not as Great as the first one. But this did have a very creepy atmosphere at the start of the movie and the snap of Jesus eye opens was little creepy. As movie went, It did kinds of lose that creepy feeling as it turn into bit more of true psychological thriller then . creepy or scary horror movie. I did some scenes very boring to watch, I felt they drag some scenes a little to longs in this movie. There were some strange scenes near end of the movie, Which I thought were little odd, I did find it a little funny. There one scenes that really took me by surprised is near the end as I didn't expected this movie gory at all, then one really nasty gory scenes near the end. The acting from everyone in this movie was really good. 5/10 Exorcist: The Beginning (2004) I have tired to watch this movie a few times, only well, i fell a sleep in the first 2 times, I did put a bit late, so i decided to give it another today, when day was light. Now that I have seen the whole movie, I don't think it was all that bad, there were some creepy moment in this movie that worked really. There were really cool bloody scenes that really liked in this all though I don't think iit really fitted in this movie. There was really calm moment in this movie, which do feel little boring at times. The acting wasn't great in some part of the movie, I felt some of actor Could not be bother that near the end of the movie as the acting didn't look as lazy at the start. I feel mixed feeling about this movie. 5/10 But I not sure if, i Should see Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist (2005) - I Heard it kinda of the same! (I Will give it watch maybe next week) The Bay (2012) A lot diffrent then I thought it was going to be. I liked the start of the movie, with real reports of Dead Animals that news, a few years ago. Also liked the fact their were few other going on at the same time, Normally Found footage movie are calm and try keep tension. This was like the normal one person hold camera movie, this different shorts CTV, Police dash boards and people seem to talking the Camera every where. But this goes straight into the mess and I liked the Plot, It Kinda of re mind me of the Cabin Fever a little, with the whole water is infected. The infections did look really nasty look on, Which i thought was really make up effects in this movie. I found one scenes really chilling in this movie, Is when the police man goes into the house and who see words , how scream them, I found that really affected I liked the later scenes in the movie, shouting and crying coming out of me, the lady sceaming was little annoying. The acting in this movie could have been better from some of the people, I felt that were little stale at times and there were some decent action of some of the cast in this movie. I didn't think it would be scary or creepy, I sure did find it really entertaining. 6/10 Uninvited (1988) A scientific corporation of ill repute loses control of its test subject--a poisonous, mutant cat This was one bizarre movie, I did liked how the moved paced, there were some calm scenes and the cool Bloody scenes in this movie. There were so very bad scenes in this movie, I loved it cause some of scene were so bad that they were funny. There were some decent gory scenes in this movie for the PG 13 in 80's and Did like the idea of plot, some scenes were done right at time. Really odd B-movie 4/5 out of 10 Today Conjurer (2008) This movie as been on my watch list for really long, The trailer dose make this movie look a lot more creepy then it is. The movie start of well with Couple lose Miscarry the Baby , it kind at first you felt really sorry for then. Then movie to country side to have fresh start, For first 20 minutes felt like this could be a good movie , some calm scenes in this movie felt a little bland at times. Some of those scenes do drag here and there, I felt what was point of the wife in this movie, she barely in the movie, had no reason for her to be in movie as most of the movie, Just show doing normal house work. While Husband is started to bit freaked out seeing thing in this movie, Some of the scare Scene or the Jump scenes, were not scary at all, they tired to make it creepy by keeping far from each other but think it failed, other scenes felt empty The whole movie was just about watch-able and twist was decent, I had didn't see it coming at all but this dose leave some plots holes in the movie. ( I heard cast and crew were actually haunted on set, and those stories they told were a lot creepy then this movie ) The acting from two mane lead were really were bad in some scenes, as some scenes were almost un -watchable. 4 out of 10 Last of the living (2009) This another that been on my watch list for long time, I have tired watch before, As this very low budget movie, it did put off. A contagious virus is turning everyone into zombies, and the only hope for survival lies in the hands of three couch potatoes. The movie starts just liKe 28 days later, when Man in mid 20's is walking around empty street and News flash of it at the start of what going on. As Its went to meant to Horror comedy but I didn't find any of zombie that scary at all, some were very stranger then others, some doggey make up effect and it wasn't really that gory at all. Felt same scenes were getting repeated over and over again and those scenes end up dragging at well, I do mean killing Zombie scenes. well. I don't think I laughed more then once, The thing that I laugh was not really that funny but I didn't find any of other things funny at all. The acting was really tame time from most of the cast, at the ending what was with shouting, that way, way over the top. Ending was predictable and kind boring for zombie to end that way! 3 out of 10 |
Caught the ass-end of "American Ninja 2"...have recently grabbed all of those films on a whim.
Wow...I used to love these movies, and while the first was not bad, I felt like this one was terrible. Will still watch the rest though. Too bad about Michael Dudikoff never really taking off too much, have only seen him in maybe 3 movies aside from AN 1, 2, and 4. I hear the fifth one isn't even part of the series, rather a cash-in rename of another film starring one of the guys from the latter part of the series...as a different character. Looks almost like a kids film from what I've seen. Will get around to all of it though, I suppose. Still love seeing ninjas getting projectiles thrown at them. ...Never really seen a "serious" ninja movie, is there any? I know there were quite a few ninja themed movies in the 80's, though I never really saw any. The last "modern" ninja movie I saw was "ninja assassin" which was fun but really pointless. Does Azumi count? That one I could dig, even if it was a living manga. |
Quote:
Have you seen American Samurai, also starring David Bradley (as well as Mark Dacascos)? I remember liking that one. Not ninja but tournament flick. |
Last night "Paranormal Activity 3" was on TV... I'm sick at the moment and didn't have anything better to do, so I thought "oh why not". Although it's better than the first one, I wasn't very impressed.

Rest Stop ( 2006) I don't why but for few weeks, I got this mixed up with Drive Thru (2007), A few year ago, least Drive Thru was a lot fun to watch and really enjoyed). (Funny both of these movie 4.4 IMBd site) both went to Straight to DVD
A young couple seem to go on a road, they almost get hit my another car, only for boyfriedsn to angry shout abuse at the driver before it's drivers off. They come to rest stop, where the girl goes nasty bathroom and come back out to see her boyfriends gone, first she thinks a Joke. I found the whole movie was jokes, cause felt so bored after all that happened and then movies just kept on going aroudn and around and around in circles and those scenes were not that good at all. They were not scary or tense or anything there really flat from start to end of the movie, I Could wait for the movie for come to end. Just before 45 minutes I was trying really hard to fall a sleep as I thought the movie could be better in the last of movie, I was wrong there too as is stayed in that bleke flat zone and the acting was all over the place of Girl, could not take her serious at all. (In few scenes she clam and the next crying and going of the top and some scenes act like she read from the script. The whole movie was very Predictable, nothing not really done in other horror/thrillers movies, I done much better then this. There one scenes that I really liked in this movie, which I thought was really stranger and very odd in good but that scenes was really point-less as it had nothing little main plot the movie. 2/10 Avoid it , That one scenes is not worth it to sit through this mess I won't be seeing the sequel at time soon! |
Silent House (2011)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...use_poster.jpg Been holding off on this one for a while cause I kinda knew what to expect with a movie like this. Over all it wasnt too bad just a little slow. 2.5/5 |
The Awakening (2011)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps0e6032f6.jpg Genuinely impressed with this moody, brooding, creepy thriller. Reminded me a lot of The Others and Woman in Black in that it's a successfully atmospheric haunting tale. Adored Dominic West, whom I had only previously seen in The Wire. What I think what really impressed me about this was that the ending, while perhaps a bit overdone, actually wrapped the story up quite well - I'm typically suspicious of "twists," but it really worked well here. Nice slow-burner. 4/5. ... ParaNorman (2012) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psaffbb6d0.jpg I love animated films. I love claymation. I love horror. And I really loved Coraline, so I was very excited about this one coming out from the same studio... But while it was absolutely stunning, I thought that the characters were silly, unbelievable, and 2-dimensional, the dialog was really lazy, and the story, while not bad, was just executed poorly. Huge disappointment for me because I really thought the animations was stunning. Watch Frankenweenie instead. Best animated movie of the year, hands down, and Burton's finest period. ... The Giant Mechanical Man (2012) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps6d0f7bad.jpg Cute Jenna Fischer in a cute indie romcom. ... For a Good Time, Call... (2012) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps7cd0f80f.jpg I'm all for chick-flicks, but this was just lazy, lame, and predictable. And - SPOILER - you don't even get any real girl-on-girl action. Damn. ... Admission (2013) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...pse26c7c6a.jpg HA! Never have I been so thankful for free movie passes - This was awful. Just really really awful. I needed a Girls' Night Out movie and I figured - Hey, I like Tina Fey - I like Paul Rudd, how bad can it be? Oh, it can be bad. Very very bad. I was hoping for a dopey romcom but this was an oddly ill-conceived drama. Also it had a random cow birthing scene. ... Wow, my most recent movie- watchings have been mostly disappointing... Going to have to remedy that... |

"A good day to Die Hard".
Probably liked it a little more than the fourth and second films...and stands as a relatively good brainless action film, though like the fourth one, did not really "feel" like part of the franchise, don't think they'll ever get that back again. Not bad though. Plot was pretty thin. Some ok effects, good gunfights, not too much in the way of fisticuffs. I'd say 6/10 |
Farmhouse (2008)
After seeing the trailer for this movie, I was afraid they showed way to much of the movie. Here another movie were We follow a young couple as they leave their everyday lives behind and head out to a new beginning; starting over from scratch and while Driver , Chad who ends up falling a sleep at the wheel, Crash the car. We get flash back of happened in before they decided to movie way, it felt really strange for them for keeping going back wards now and again, it got really annoying at the times and Felt of place. Soon there see house they go there, These to couple who are at the house seem very friends (TOO Friendly, Which I thought would have creepy for stranger to say those thing then sooner then later thing that nasty turn. These couple soon turn nasty and keep the other hostage for some part of the movie, these Torture scenes were really that good or that nasty however There one scenes I found did find A bit nasty , Let just I won't use Cheese crater today for sure. Then they go over the board with over done twist , which I been done so many times now, It's getting boring now, I make the pass hour Point-less and a waste of time. The ending really ruined the movie , I kind of felt a little cheated. however I did not get board with this movie, it get entertained thought out the movie, the acting was really good from the short cast in this movie. 5 out of 10 |
Mama (2013)
Watched Mama a couple of weeks ago ... No big deal.
|
The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007)
I have tried watch a number of times before, I could never really get into the movie and again I saw half of it yesterday and I saw the last half of it today. It did take me while to get in this movie, I do like the vidoe being balloons at times and there was some good tense and chilling moment in this movie. If wasn't for the really poor acting from most of the cast and some scripts sounded a little to fake (I would Easily believed this was real) however it NOT real and I know that. I Thought did have powerfully story and some good chilling moment in this movie, that might make you thing, the next you see stranger. Small spoiler [spoiler]I found is bit silly for Killer to go and see the mother of the girl He Kidnapped only for mother not doing anything knowing he was kidnapper[/spoiler] It was really some- what entertaining. 6/10 Good movie |
Puppet Master X
http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...0,214,317_.jpg I have to say, I love the Puppet Master movies. They have always been rather low budget and cheesy at times. But this one is VERY low budget and cheesy. There were many times I was wondering if I was supposed to be laughing or not. But thats alright I like some cheese in my movies so it didnt bother me too bad. I didnt have high hopes going into this one, after all it is the tenth in the series so come on. So I really wasnt let down or anything. 3/5 |
Dark Skies (2013) (First time I heard of this movie, was when I saw TV spot a few week ago, where I have missed the news for this,
The Trailer looked really good, (I didn't think would be as good Mama which I thought was decent and some decent Jump scenes which was rated 15 in UK) As this was rated 13, I didn't expect to scary at all. This movie dose not rely on scary Jump scenes at all, they nothing make you get scared or make Jump at all. This movie more of slow burning and try to keep you suspense thought out Most the movie, which is done really well as goes more creepy vibe. This movie did remind me a lot of Sign (2002) Also had the same feel to it and poltergeist mixed in with tiny hint paranormal activity in this movie The were some stranger scenes in this movie, which kind bizarre and Which I really enjoyed to watch. I liked the fact We don't get to see the Aliens Clearly until near the end of the movie, there are in movie but there for a flash Or Be caught on camera but don't get to much of them in those scenes. Last 20 minutes were some good moment, that have edge of seat, well I shouted It's Behide you! , Very eerie scenes but scenes get goes a bit odd, it stranger way , I was little confused with that. (I liked how that scenes started but it was little stranger in odd way. The ending , my god, you can't end the movie like, I mean you can't NOT end the movie liked that! The acting was really good from the whole cast! Really good movie, I really enjoyed it! 7 out 10 , |
The Revenant (2009)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps0365a6d7.jpg I have to say - Wow. I had low expectations going into this based on a fairly mediocre review from Rue Morgue... I assumed that it was going to be just another stoner zombie buddy comedy... But it surprised me by having quite a bit of depth. Taking a LOT of influence from Return of the Living Dead, The Revenant starts off initially as a gory comedy, but then it dissolves into a very dark, Nihilistic, and cynical place... While not a perfect movie (it does meander a bit in the middle), the end really ties it all together... And it's a damn good ending. Not to mention, the soundtrack is killer and I can't wait until it comes out in a couple of weeks. HIGHLY recommended and would love to hear feedback from others who've seen this. 4.75/5. |
I've seen it, I enjoyed it.
Started off expecting something stupid and shitty but yeah, go a lot more than I thought I would out of this. Had never heard of it before, picked it up cheap and was glad I did. |

Impressive. But given my reverence for all things Hitchcock, I might be blinded by my judgement here. A nice weekend watch, obviously more so if you are an ardent fan of the man as I am. * * * * http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...VL._SY300_.jpg Don't let the names on the cover fool you. It's at best a decent entertainer, trying to pull out Tarantino-esque stops. And I am being very supportive of the film here. * * ½ |

The Revenant
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...psbd564c08.jpg A big thank you to ChronoGrl for recommending this. I really liked it. It was funny without overloading the humor and without being stupid. It was surprisingly dark at all the right places and the story kept evolving so that it never got boring or predictable. It started to lose focus around the vigilante gunslinger part but it explored a realistic scenario that people might experience if given the chance to be immortal and it gave way to the awesome last part of the movie. I loved the ending. So depressing and sad and the very last sequence was excellent. I recommend this. |
Evil Dead
They changed enough for it to be its own thing but had enough call backs and style that you knew it was an Evil Dead flick. You know when things will happen... you've seen it all before... you just don't know HOW shit's going to hit the fan. Groovy. |

A group of young girls are taken out on a houseboat in a sort of intervention outing but the trouble begins after the boat breaks down & the girls started to chased down one by one by a pair of psycho killers. Slow & average. Set in a remote English village, Elfie Hopkins, an aspiring young detective, likes to spend most of the time along with her geeky best friend, Dylan, by investigating the villagers and upsetting everyone with their imaginative allegations. But Elfie's mundane existence is thrown for a spin with the arrival of a mysterious family of trendy city dwellers, the Gammons, in her neighborhood. The cast & production value for this Britt horror-thriller were pretty good, I was even started to liking it but at the end it suffered for its rush ending where they unexpectedly killed off lots of characters. The concept of shadow people or even sleep paralysis is always interesting, IMO but found it bit annoying as here they unnecessarily tried too much on creating the mood or a 'belief' that the whole thing is based on true events and which I found quite unconvincing. Every time (after almost every 10 minutes) the pace of the film got distracted by those "real life footage" of interviewing people of what they think or where they were at the time while something happened mysterious or about someone or about the news...blah..blah etc. Overall, a decent idea failed to impress for a disappointing treatment. Written and co-produced by Robert Rodriguez, the story of Curandero begins when the federal agent Magdalena calls upon the local curandero for his services to purify a police station(!), the two suddenly find themselves immersed in a satanic cult's blood-thirsty battleground. Loved this idea where everyone in a typical Mexican town (from the police force to the underworld crime syndicates) believes in witchcraft & demons and how they seriously dealing with these horrifying issues. But I guess as an indie flick initially there were some problems with the background music as sometimes it seems there were no sounds in the background while there was a conversation between the characters and that's kinda made it bit odd to watch at times. But overall, nice idea with lots of gore but could have been a lot better with a better budget, I guess. Somewhat 70's European style an erotic vampire flick with a very simple story about a nice writer guy Paolo falling 'desperately' in love with a hot vampire lady named Djuna & things starts to get kinda 'steamy' after the arrival of Djuna's trouble-making sister Mimi in the mansion. The two hot French hotties on the lead made it convincingly 'watchable' till the last frame of the movie. >>: B |
