It’s that time of year to watch scary movies. Even though I watch scary movies throughout the year. I watch more of them in the month of October.
When I was younger I liked to watch the Exorcist. Now I can’t handle movies with possessions. They really scare the shit out of me. Too many questions arise about if that could really be possible. So I avoid all movies and shows with that in it if I can. Sometimes they sneak it in and I really hate that.
I think the reason I like scary movies is I rarely get nightmares from them. I can handle it. However there are two movies that really gave me nightmares and I will never ever see them again. I wouldn’t even see their sequels.
The Ring 2002. This movie scared me so much! At the time I did have a TV in my room. I had to cover it so she wouldn’t come out of it. I sacred for months!
Oculus 2013. The mirrors! I couldn’t look at mirrors at night. I normally can’t anyways but this brought the real fear of that to life.
These are the only two movies in a list of scary movies I have seen in my life. Which I think it’s pretty good there is only two.
I will watch the Shinning. I read the book and I have to say reading the book makes the movie make more sense. There are some little details that are in the movie without the book that just make no sense. However the remake for TV movie of the Shinning is more like the book. I understand they didn’t have the technology to make it like the book for the first one and also Jack Nicholson is awesome in this movie.
Definitely be watching some zombies movies. You know I love zombies movies. I will definitely be watching the remake of Dawn of the Dead. Did you know it’s staged in Wisconsin even though not filmed here. I think that is cool.
Anyway I will write about the horror movies I watch this month. Oh let the bad movies take over. You know there are going to be some horrible ones and there are so many. I hope I can find some good ones in the mix. I am going to do a rating system. One being terrible and five being that was a great movie.
I am going to start with Pontypool 2008. I saw this on Netflix. Not really scary but I did like the drama it had in it and makes you think. I do like movies where they don’t have to go all over the place. I liked that this just took place at a radio station. I love how it plants an imagery in your head of what is happening outside even though the viewer doesn’t see it. The ending I wasn’t surprised as how I sort had a hunch that is how it was going to end. This deserves a four.
JeruZalem 2106. Watched it on Netflix. Warning if you get motion sickness do not watch this. However if you are like me and get motion sickness watch it anyways. Funny. This took me three days to watch because I do get motion sickness. Basically two friends who are women go to Jerusalem for vacation and demons roam the place. Also the main woman is wearing Google Glass and you see everything through her eyes. That is where the motion sickness comes in. Now who will survive? I was actually surprised who did survive. Anyway the American guy was sort of annoying in my opinion and the acting was just okay. The demons are super CGI and the bigger demons like come on! Horrible. Who rated this four out of five stars on Netflix? It wasn’t really bad but bad enough. I give it a two.
