31 Days of Scary

The End? 2018 Amazon Prime Rating 3

This movie is from Italy. The premise is pretty great but I didn’t know how they could make over an hour of it.

A business man gets trapped in an elevator. As he is stuck there the zombie apocalypse happens. I like the concept. Sometimes movies don’t have to be scary. They have to have a good idea and execute it well. And this movie does!

It does have some jump scares. However it’s what you can’t see that makes this movie. Also the big question how does this guy get out of the elevator or will he ever get out? I even satisfied with the end of this movie.

Why only a 3? This movie knows what it is and isn’t. It’s not a big block buster movie. I didn’t feel it lag anywhere either. However for a zombie movie it isn’t on the top of my list to re-watch. It’s good for a one time viewing. I recommend a watch of this movie. I do like the concept of not seeing but hearing what the outside world is going through.

Annabelle Creation 2017 Redbox Rating 4

This scared me! This movie is how Annabelle came to be.

A doll maker and his wife had a daughter and she dies by getting hit by a car. After years losing their daughter the couple helps an orphanage of girls and nun come live with them till they are adopted out.

One of the girls finds their passed away daughter’s room and of course finds Annabelle the doll. Then it all starts happening, evil! Annabelle terrorizes the girls and is released into the human world which is a demon.

There are some good jump scares and Annabelle herself got me! She was scary! I didn’t have high hopes for this film but this is worth a watch. Also they tie in this movie with the Conjuring universe it occupies.

Annabelle Comes Home 2019 Redbox Rating 2

Is this movie a comedy? I was laughing at it!

Annabelle finds a home at the at the Warren’s house as it is placed in a cabinet blessed by a priest. Now it can’t get out. Or can it?!

The Warren’s leave and leave their daughter with the babysitter. She has her friend over who is obsessed with the paranormal and let’s out Annabelle and you know what happens! Scary things but she doesn’t just let out Annabelle she lets out all the evil in the forbidden room.

The teens and the daughter have to put Annabelle back in her case while all the evil invades the home. At times I couldn’t stop laughing. It was just so over the top and they were trying to make it scary but it was funny!

I give it a 2 because there were some good jump scares but I hope they are done with Annabelle because it’s getting becoming a comedy and not a horror anymore.

Treehouse 2015 Amazon Prime Rating 1

I was going to give this title a 2 but I just can’t. The beginning starts out so good! But in the middle it all falls apart and becomes incredibly stupid.

A teen girl comes home to her brother missing. She hears him outside and runs after him into the forest and disappears. A teen boy and his brother are going to the forest to meet girls but end up finding the teen girl in a treehouse.

Then shit happens.

In the beginning the “beings” we can only see silhouettes of them but they can’t climb trees. However they terrorizes anyone that is in the forest. Seem like a non visual horror story then….the middle happens and it all falls apart.

Those silhouettes are just crazy people who kill people in the forest. It was a really great idea but to add that they are just crazy people killed whatever they were going for. Also crazy people can climb trees as they are people.

B movie and no one else should view this movie it’s dumb.

23:59 The Haunting Hour (2011) Netflix Rating 2

A solider is found dead in a training session and strange things happen. Is what the movie says it’s about but that is misleading. The movie starts out good and has some jump scares. Telling how the island they are training on is haunted.

This movie starts out good! But then it falls apart quickly. There is one character who almost ruins it and there are some hit and miss moments. The guy who is in charge he can’t decide if he is British or from India. But then when he speaks in Mandarin and he sounds better. One of the biggest mistakes this movie makes is they switch between Mandarin and English.

There is one scene that freaked me out and it is in the middle of the movie. It’s when one character goes the restroom in the middle of the night.

It has good ideas but then goes to the same old concept. Too bad because the artwork in the beginning is nice but never explains it. Strange. The end is also really dumb. It’s too predictable.

Maybe a watch but definitely a B movie.

The Witch (2015) Netflix Rating 2

This movie is well done with the acting and the set. It’s supposed to be authentic except the women. LOL! I say that because I watched on YouTube how the creator wanted it all to be right in the time period. But apparently women always had great eyebrows and shaved.

It’s the 1600’s and this family is banned from their colony. They move out on some land near a forest which Witches live. Then they become cursed and things happen.

I didn’t really like this movie also I didn’t understand the ending too much. I had to watch YouTube to understand. When I did, I thought it was just okay.

The older daughter goes to loving God to questioning her faith then decides the devil is better.

It’s a beautiful movie but I wouldn’t watch this again. Also I thought it was pronounced Vitch because the cover is this VVitch trying to be fancy.

Pet Sematary (2019) Redbox Rating 3

I have read the book and saw the original a couple of times. This a remake and the changes made just for the sake of horror.

There is this strange detail that makes me wonder why they made this one death change. It doesn’t make any real sense to me. Pointing this out doesn’t ruin the movie because if you know anything about Pet Sematary you will wonder too.

The character Zelda’s death. It doesn’t make any sense to me in the remake of this movie. She dies in a dumb waiter but how? She has spinal meningitis so how does someone who is bed ridden get in the dumb waiter?

There are many changes they made in this film other than Zelda’s death I don’t find them terrible. I found that the main character Louis was bland. Other than that it was pretty good.

I recommend a watch but don’t expect to be blown away.

I guess technically 32 Days of scary since I had to start September 30th. Lol!

Rating system is 1 it’s terrible to 5 really great, a must see. I will also include where to see it.

Afflicted (2013) Amazon Prime Rating 4

Two friends who are also the makers of the movie. One friend Derek is dying and his friend Cliff want to take a trip around the world together since it may be the last time they can together. One of them gets bitten by a vampire.

I thought oh no not another vampire movie however the way they do this movie is great! I really like the idea of it. As one transform into a vampire the other friend films the transformation as they are trying to figure out what happened to him. They don’t know that he is a vampire. It doesn’t take long to set up the film either which is nice!

I would recommend a watch of this one.

The Final Wish Redbox Rating 1

Watch the trailer looks scary right?! I want to rename this film to The Final Snooze Wish. Because I wished to take a nap through this film than waste my time.

What was in the trailer with the old woman in the kitchen is what made me want to see this film. That scene didn’t even show up! Ugh! Took too long to set this film up as well.

A guy from (Twilight) comes back home because his father passed away. He comes home to attend the funeral and help his mom. His father was a collector of stuff basically. There is a strange looking item that grants wishes but has consequence (of course).

He wishes a series of things and doesn’t realize all the terrible things is his fault. Then he finds his father’s partner and he says. Don’t make 7 wishes otherwise it will have your soul. (Is it nap time yet?) There are a few jump scares but that is it. The end is lame as well.

This movie I recommend skipping.

Life

Posted on by under Everyday Life, Holidays

Friday April 19 I got my hair done:

I have never in my entire life had it this straight! Lori said she went to some classes with this new product for people who have curly or frizzy hair and it makes the hair straight. I was her guinea pig. Happy to be. Lol!

I told Lori I wanted something different in terms of color without stripping my hair. She gave me this color and I love it!

Saturday April 20th we picked up April who’s birthday was that day! We rarely celebrate each other’s birthday on the day. We went for brunch and it was fun. I got her English Tea and monarchs of England book. She love it!

Since she wasn’t here for my birthday she got me sonic screwdriver earrings and necklace. Yes! Dr. Who!


Sunday April 21 was Easter!

We had Easter at my parent’s house. Not that many people there this year but that’s okay. It was the first Easter that April came with me. April has cut her family out of her life and it’s about time!

All they do is bring her down and tell her she is useless. She told them early this year she was done with them. She only has contact with her brother and sister in law which is good. It was fun to have her there.

One thing Aunt Joanne got all pissed because Jeff made a cake. It’s just food she made the comment “I wouldn’t have made two cakes if I knew.” In an angry way. It’s food. Someone will eat it. I hate that she gets this way. Guess what everyone ate all the cakes so it wasn’t that big of a deal.

Monday April 22 this was April’s last day. We always have fun together. We went out to eat then had coffee at the local coffee shop. We can always pass the time talking and it’s all random.

It was so good to see her. Tex thought so too. He LOVES April. Always wants to play with her and cuddle with her. When April is here, we don’t get Tex she does. Silly dog.

Happy Birthday!

Today is my birthday! I am 36 years old today!

This morning I am going to have breakfast with my parents and Chrissy. I invited my brother and his family but they didn’t respond to me. Oh well missing out on a great breakfast.

Then I have been debating what I want as a treat. So I want Seroogy’s chocolate and Jeff is going to get me some coffee to take home. They have awesome coffee!

Jeff got me a couple of gifts and I got them early. One I wanted he got me a new phone case. The second one that I didn’t know about this skull! It’s awesome!

Valentine’s Day

Posted on by under Holidays

In the beginning the week I didn’t forget about Valentine’s Day. I thought of a romantic comedy to watch Love Actually. I have seen it already but Jeff wanted to see it. Then Valentine’s Day came and I forgot about it. Lol! That’s how much I care about Valentine’s Day.

Anyways we watched Love Actually. I forgot a lot about that movie so it was good to watch again. Jeff said he liked it. I forgot how much nudity is in that movie. Lol!

Helen sent me a great birthday presents! She is always so thoughtful.
