Happy Halloween!

Posted on by under Holidays

Whoooo! You know what that means?! A whole month of scary movies!

The rating I set is 5 out of 5. Of course 1 being terrible and 5 being amazing.

The Shining  (Netflix) 5/5 I saw that Netflix finally had this available. So of course I started October with a classic. Still scary!

Pizza (Netflix) 3/5 This is a foreign movie from India. The acting is actually pretty good. It’s worth a watch with the subtitles. The premise of this movie is Kunal is a pizza delivery man. He finds out his wife is pregnant. That’s important has to do a lot with pregnant women. His wife is also obsessed with scary. She tells him everyone has a moment. Well, Kunal finds his moment when he delivers pizza to a house and gets trapped in it. It’s not the scariest movie but has good jump scares. The twist is good.

House of Bones (Amazon Prime) 3/5 This movie is about a TV show that is about ghost hunters. (I don’t know why but I like those movies.) It’s not the most amazing movie. The reasoning for the rating. This movie wasn’t terrible and kept my interest. The acting isn’t the greatest but not the worst I have seen.

Villmark Asylum (Amazon Prime) 2/5  This movie is from Norway. Ever watch a movie and get that feeling you watch it already? Yeah I had a feeling I saw this movie already. Anyway it wasn’t that good so that is probably why I didn’t remember watching it, towards the end. I thought it was going to be a lot scarier as the acting is good in this movie. This movie is about a team that goes in an Asylum to prepare it for demolition. The caretaker is creepy, of course. The team finds a person that shouldn’t be there and in the background you see things move. You can tell this movie had money. Unfortunately it doesn’t hit the scary for me. I think the problem with this movie is they were trying too hard. Anyway I would skip this movie in the future. Now if I can remember watching it. Lol!

I had a bloody good time at House Harker (Amazon Prime) 4/5 This is a horror comedy. The acting was good and it was cheesy at the same time. I got some good laughs out of this movie. It’s a family of siblings and a best friend that are about to lose their childhood house. They live in a small town and known to be weirdos and losers. Their family ancestors are vampire killers and they have a vampire skull. When the siblings accidentally bring back a vampire, all hell breaks loose.

Crush the skull (Amazon Prime) 2/5 I thought about giving this movie a one but it made me laugh so two. This is NOT a horror comedy but it’s so bad that it was funny. A group of thieves brother, sister, husband and another guy go and try to rob this house only to get stuck in it with psychos. The beginning of the movie didn’t make sense till end which felt like they had to somehow tie in it. It was horrible tie in.

Stephanie (Netflix) 5/5 Wow this movie was great! I totally didn’t see the twist in this one. It had some jump scares in it and it’s worth the watch. This is about a little girl Stephanie is left alone in a house and her dead brother’s body in his room. You don’t see anything but you can hear a monster come into the house and out. You don’t know where the little girl’s parents are. So you follow her around for some time till her parents return.

The Haunting of Hill house TV show (Netflix) 5/5 This is the scariest thing I have seen in the longest time! Episode 5 I thought was the scariest out of the whole show. I like all the movies so I had to watch the show. This took me a while to watch because it scared me so badly! A must see!

Rocky Horror Picture Show 4/5 I used to watch this with my mom when I was younger. Seeing it as an adult is SO much different. I still love the music from the movie. However I think I am good for ever really watching it again. I know it’s a cult classic but I didn’t really realize how sexual it is. Not that is a bad thing but…not really a Halloween movie to watch.

Terrifier (Netflix) 1/5 This was the stupidest gory movie. It’s about a silent clown that kills people on Halloween. It wasn’t even fun gory it was just the sake for gory. Didn’t tell why he killed. No character building. Just death, gore and tons of blood.

Ghoul (Netflix) 4/5  This is a mini series from from Indiana but on Netflix it’s dubbed in English. This is a mini series of three episodes. It doesn’t get good till about half through the second episode. This takes place in the future at a military prison, integration facility. Someone releases a ghoul which brings out each person’s dark secrets. It has some pretty good jump scares and the ghoul is scary enough. The ending is good as well.

 

Scary Movies

Posted on by under Movies

coollogo_com-39114930I like scary movies.

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.
