The Autopsy of Jane Doe 2016 Netflix Rating 3

A father and son who are corners receive a body that is involved in an solved murder. The body has no name and has no past in the criminal system hence Jane Doe.

Of course they receive the body at night during a thunderstorm. Because of Jane Doe many scary things start to happen and odd things when they start opening her up.

I was surprised on how scary and the jump scares as well. I wasn’t expecting this movie as the description is fairly basic. The twist was unexpected as well.

Not super amazing but it was a nice surprise for that it’s a 3. Worth a watch.

Haunt 2019 Redbox Rating 2

A group of college students go to a haunted house. The people in the haunted house is trying to kill them. Who will survive?

I have seen many movies like this so I wasn’t expecting a whole lot from this movie. However I was surprised the main character actually has a past! That usually doesn’t happen. Even though that is a plus the negative it still has a lot of the same haunted house tropes. Also a lot of the times the characters are really dumb.

For that it’s a 2 for me. If you want something a little different this is a watch but can be looked it over as well.

Murder Party 2007 Netflix Rating 2

It’s supposed to be a horror comedy but I wasn’t laughing at any point. I give it a 2 because I like the concept of the movie but it lacked in execution.

Chris finds an invitation to a Murder Party and he goes. It’s exactly what the invitation says. It’s Chris’s Murder Party. So a group of artists get together to murder someone for the sake of art and things get out of hand.

Does Chris survive? It’s the not the worst movie but it’s not the best either. However worth a watch as you know what you are getting into.

Shed of the Dead 2019 Redbox Rating 1

Trevor has a shed on a garden lot away from his apartment in the city. He goes there to get away from his wife. Then zombie apocalypse happens and Trevor has to decide to save his wife or not.

Ugh I really hated this movie. It’s supposed to be a comedy but I wasn’t laughing at any point. I couldn’t wait for it to be done.

It does have really cool artwork and I could see it as a comic. As a movie do not see this. So many zombie movie tropes in this one. I was bored and I didn’t care about any of the characters.

Dead Don’t Die 2019 Redbox Rating 3

It has Bill Murray in it and other funny people. I have to say I chuckled here and there. I give it a 3 because the zombies look good and I chuckled. Otherwise it would be a lot lower than that. I was disappointed by the story and who dies in this movie. It was lacking.

I have to say this movie knew not to take itself too seriously so that was a plus.

Zombies attack a small town and comedy ensues. That’s it.

I really wanted to see this movie. Unfortunately it wasn’t that great.

Life

Posted on by under Everyday Life

Wednesday night my mom went to the ER. She stepped out of her neighbor’s house and fell. She cracked her wrist bone and of course it’s her right hand. She right handed.

I thought I was clumsy but she is a lot worse then me! She got a cut above her eyebrow too. Oh no! She said she is okay. She got a cast on her wrist.

This Friday we are getting a new garage door opener. Jeff’s got that car lift that hits the car door opener now.

Finally got all the carpet out of the living room.

The Hole in the Ground 2019 Amazon Prime Rating 1

Snooze fest this one is. Not even a little scary. Also it’s a monster movie. Ugh!

A mom and her son move to this house next to a forest. The boy wanders in the forest and comes up to what looks like a really big hole. Guess what happens? Watch the trailer there’s whole movie there. The boy falls in and in imposter takes his place. Snore!

This movie the actors are great but what’s lacking is the story. It was to typical for me. There are some plot holes as well in this movie. Where’s the father? What really happened between the mother and father? Never answered. Never answered what were the creatures are or where they came from? I assume alien. Pass on this one.

I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in This House 2016 Netflix Rating 1

I really disliked this movie. The lead actress was good but everyone else was sub par. An old woman was a writer needs assistant to live out the her rest of her days in her house. A hospice nurse comes and lives with her. The old woman’s most famous book was about a woman who lived in the walls. Hmmm what could this be about a ghost?

But not just one two sort of? The hospice nurse dies in the house while caring for the old woman and she tells you the story of how she dies etc. Mostly it’s her narrating the whole story.

I don’t recommend this movie. It was boring and I figured out the plot not even half way through the movie.

The Terror Season 1 Philo TV Rating 4

Inspired by true events. The Royal Navy with two ships who are attempting to discover Northeast Passage. They knew they would have to spend time in the winter as the water freezes. Now they have to brave the winter and the only two ships out to sea.

I thought this season was awesome! There are great actors and it’s a bleak beautiful scenery.

The crew has to attend to illness and rotten food. Rotten food is a big deal in the season. Also out in the vast of winter “something” is coming for them.

I recommend this to watch! You may also catch reruns on AMC. There is a season 2 when it’s finished I will review. I give this season a 4 because the “something” is a little generic and there are some scenes that I was confused on as they don’t explain them. Had to look on YouTube to understand them. Still a great series.

Kingdom 2019 Netflix Rating 4

Welcome to my first scary series! Took me all of three days to watch six episodes.

Kingdom is a Netflix exclusive and is from South Korea. I recommend watching this series in Korean and not have it dubbed. I started it with dubbed on and it’s not the same. It’s better to read the subtitles.

It’s a zombie series. However these zombies are different. At first I thought vampire zombies? Because they only come out at night but the last episode says differently.

There are many story lines going on in this series and there will be a season 2. We have a prince on the run for treason and his companions on the journey with him. The king is dead-ish. His bride is pregnant and has to have a boy. Except that story line I figured out right away. There is 2 wars going on. One against the dead and two who is going to rule the kingdom. The series leaves on a good cliff hanger.

I have to point out that this series is beautiful to look at! To the costumes to the background. I recommend watching this.
