My 31 Nights Of Halloween celebration continues with:
"The Descent: Part Two" (2010) Plot: A rescue party goes in search of the women from the original film and encounter the same terrifying creatures. Phantom's Review: First let me say, I have nothing but praise for the original "The Descent". I think it is the best of the modern day horror movies. Claustrophobic, gory, and a very well acted. As for the sequel, it's......adequate. Like most sequels it pretty much covers the same ground as the first film. Nothing new or original, but It's not a BAD movie, it's just not that great. Let's hope they end it with this one

Paranormal Activity 2
Ok, so there was some mythology that was forced into it but it didn't hurt the overall product in my opinion. The biggest problem was that it resembled the first one so much but even then, even knowing how the first one went, there were some very effective parts. I'm surprised that, like the first one, they moved so slowly into everything as I was SURE they were going to ramp up the "action". I liked the slow burn personally and I dug this sequel (prequel) a lot. Theater sucked though, or more specifically... the audience sucked. I should have went to the State...

Fear(s) of the Dark (2007). This wonderfully dreadful anthology of animated horror intersperses animation's greats to create an incredible spread of style and talent. From philosophically annoying to brutally mean, from psychological terror to the splendid art of story-telling, Fear(s) of the Dark runs the gamut. Little more can be said as this brilliant offering from the discommoding vaults of incredible talent is best viewed and digested as opposed to bantered about. Merci beaucoup.

Murder Party (2007). Murder Party is the result of years and years of film-making hijinks that was spawned by a group of neighborhood kids and a camcorder. That group, having gone on to study film, then set about making their indie debut. The result is fabulous, a rare treat that is becoming of a labor of love and comradery. Sans any outside influence, this film is unadulterated excellence on a scale not measurable in Hollywood. Amazingly, many of the film-makers second as the actors, some without any acting chops to speak of outside of their childhood pranks. The result sounds tenuous, but instead the Lab of Madness crew have put together a blacker than black comedy horror flick that combines existential wannabe cool artistry with prosaic bureaucratic loneliness, laced with sociopathic overtones, driven by clicky intrigues, culminating in a TNT explosion of bloody mayhem. In short, brilliant fun that is certainly not for the whole family. For the social outsider in all of us, Murder Party is a satisfying dish of black humor magic. Merci beaucoup.
