THE FRANKENSTEIN EXPERIMENT AKA THE PROMETHEUS PROJECT 2010

A top notch medical team are secreted away to produce a stem cell rejuvenating serum but end up creating a monster of biblical proportions.

Very nice.

Creep (2014)
"When a videographer answers a Craigslist ad for a one-day job in a remote mountain town, he finds his client is not at all what he initially seems."

Boring found footage movie with a message:
"Craigslist is bad, mkay?"

Do you like any movies?

Why?
I saw about a dozen new releases this month. Out of those I liked 4:

Let Us Prey (2014)
We Are Still Here (2015)
The Asylum aka Backmask aka Exeter (2015)
Buddy Hutchins (2015)

Or maybe I'm just older and I've seen so many movies I became picky. ::wink::

I think that has become my problem. I find myself getting bored easily with horror movies lately.

I think that's one of the reasons I prefer less serious horror or horror-comedy. It's often refreshing imo.
Movies like Rare Exports, Bad Milo, Tucker & Dale VS Evil, Cabin In The Woods, What We Do In The Shadows, The Voices, Wolfcop, Housebound,...

Wow I'm the opposite. There's maybe 1 or 2 horror-comedies that I actually enjoyed.

You responded to my reply to Hammerfan.
My reply to your question is above.

I know

It seems to me most horror movies coming out these days are studio films made not to expensively so they can get a decent profit regardless of the quality of the script. Similarly the non-studio(hollywood) films seem to focus on gore and torture porn. None of them are telling good stories or doing a good job of compelling emotion in the watcher. Besides cringing at death scenes or mutilation scenes there isn't much to draw the viewer in. A rare exception would be The Human Centipede. Besides the gore/disgust factor the watcher can feel the distress, horror, and extreme dislocation. The mad doctor is a somewhat amusing counter weight that keeps the viewer able to cope? with what is occurring if they're viscerally engaged.
Another rare example would be Byzantium. While not very gory or horrifying, there's still a great effort to elicit awe and mystery. A counter example would be most torture porn where the, almost always woman which is disturbing, victims become non-entities. Bodies without a person inside them, at least to the viewer. So there's no connection with the characters. Or the story. The victims are props.

Ok i'll stop, could probably go on, but yeah, if I want anyone to read this... :)

You kids. No manners at all.

shhhhh

Bad Milo
...I probably liked this movie more than I should have. What can I say though. It was well put together for such a silly idea. And Patrick Warburton. Patrick Warburton is always a delight.

Get off my lawn!

THE FRANKENSTEIN THEORY 2013

On a bit of a Frankie kick lately. I thoroughly enjoyed this found-footage of a young man searching for what he truly believes to be the Frankenstein monster.

You should check out Frankenstein's Army. It's on Netflix and is super entertaining. ::smile::

I liked it too. It's not a masterpiece or anything, and it does have a bit of a video game feel by the end of the film, but I got some laughs out of it. Terrific creature designs as well!

Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings (2011)
Worst one so far (or maybe just the most boring one).
Halfway through I lost interest, put on my laptop and left the movie on in the background.
But it wasn't all bad.There was a cool stabbing scene, the ending was good for a laugh and the location. The old psychiatric hospital was the best thing about this movie and would have made a great location for another movie. But not for this one.
Overal an average movie with the usual blood, gore and boobs.

Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines (2012)
I like this one. It was quite alright. Especially for a fifth part in a series.
This time they went with a less serious tone and it definitely made the movie more enjoyable. Everything else was slightly better too compared to the previous ones.
Cast was just ok but not annoying either. Story was simple but good. The special effects and the gore were decent. Lots of brutal and bloody kills.
So if you're in for a little mindless gory fun, you might like this.

I am not a huge fan of horror-comedy, there's only a select few that I truly enjoyed: Black Sheep, Shaun of the Dead, Bruce Campbell's famous trio, Cabin in the Woods are the ones that come to mind right now.

I want to be scared and the last time a movie scared me was when I was 12 yrs old and I watched The Exorcist by myself at like 3am in the total dark. I keep hoping that something will eventually show up and give me at least a little scare. These days, I think most horror movies just entertain me. There has been a few that have given me the chills and that's a plus!!

Maybe I'm so accustomed to seeing extreme horror these days that very little gets to me. ::confused::

The only horror-comedies (or just horror that doesn't take itself very seriously) that I like are The Loved Ones, Evil Dead sequels, Cabin Fever, Scream, Drag Me to Hell and Slither. A little more than 1 or 2 but I don't know how to count.

Honeymoon (2014)

I walked into this movie completely blind. I haven't seen a trailer, read a synopsis, or really heard of this movie today until someone recommended it to me. It ended up being a really creepy and weird movie. Honeymoon is about two newlyweds on their honeymoon, Paul and Bea, but it takes a turn for the worst when Paul finds Bea dazed and confused in the middle of the woods one night. The film's structure reminds me of Paranormal Activity or The House of the Devil; not much really happens until the final act, but when it does happen, it's crazy scary. The tension builds up very nicely for the first hour and leads to an excellent payoff. What's nice about Honeymoon is that it allows us some time to get to know the two characters before we get into the meat of the story, which always helps a horror film. It might be a little slow for some people more attuned to a constant barrage of scary faces and gore, but if you like your movies heavy on atmosphere and tension, Honeymoon is the perfect movie.

8/10

Shame it isn't a video game really. I'd love to see more of those freaky monsters. Especially Drillface. That one was my favorite. I screencapped like a madman so I can make fan art at some point. ::love::

Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort (2014)
Bad. It was less boring than part 4 but overal it was worse.

did you see Dead Silence & Vacancy?

Dead silence, hell yea! ::cool::

Clown (2014)

Like a non-redneck Rob Zombie flick. Trashy, predictable, and lazy.

3/10

Pernicious (2014)
"3 young women in Thailand unleash a vengeful spirit and stuff start to happen."
Wasn't my kind of movie. Not really bad or anything, just not my thing.

Search Party (2014)
Slightly better than average comedy but mainly because of the cast.
Not really big names but a lot of familiar faces made this roadtrip movie good enough.

Bound to Vengeance aka Reversal (2015)
"A young girl, chained in the basement of a sexual predator, escapes and turns the tables on her captor."
I thought this was going to be similar to Hard Candy but it's something different. Only the ending felt a bit cheap.
But I'd say it's worth a watch.

Bound to Vengeance, 2015. 5/10



Ah, this could of been so good but just lacked the sick parts, they were implied but not shown but some goryness was dusted through out the movie. Criticism from others is that she made stupid decisions but I can see how they came about and forgivable.

Texas Chainsaw

Here I go again. Delving into a new (to me) franchise and I'm starting with the remake. At least I think it's the remake... It's all they have on Netflix and it's leaving soon so. Watching the remake first worked out with Fri13th (the first three I love way more than the remake), soo... *shrug* I've always been hesitant to watch these for some reason. Guess that ends tonight.

Stupid cliche characters doing stupid, predictable cliche things. The gore looked awful as the blood looked like it was added via CGI. The town was fucking sick in the head more so than Leatherface was by going after this girl, who was only a fucking BABY at the time of all this and was purely innocent of any happenings done by her family. The ending was... questionable? No one in their right mind would make the decisions that the characters did in this movie. Especially when the chick decided to stay on the place and look after her cousin. It was kind of cute in its own messed up manner but seriously... they're all just fucking nuts.

Pretty good flick this one here was....
Simple effective special effects, good plot, creative cinematography

Adam Green: Digging Up The Marrow

I liked it too, especially the monsters, but my complaint is with Adam Green in front of the camera as opposed to being behind it. I love Adam but watching him try to act was really kind of painful. It took me out of what would have otherwise been a fast favorite.

The plot needed work.
It's all too vague. I asked Adam Green on Facebook for more info but he didn't want to explain because then that would be then the "official explanation" would be out. And he seems to like all the different fan theories on the story.
Personally I think he doesn't even have an explanation.
In hindsight, it was a combination of him doing self promoting and a chance for the creature designer to show some of his work.

I agree with ya there BVM....tho the vagueness is the part I really dig. Strechin' the ole 'magination a bits a good thang...And yeah Repo'd ta what yer sayin' I figure the guy's done more than a couple projects so I was like ....yeah.. why not do some self promo?
Figured if I dropped the name A.G. 'round here it get some responses....You Guys Rock::devil::!!
I give Diggin' Up The Marrow 8/10

Yeah..I know him for the "Hatchet" movies. (trying to appear cool)

Escape from Tomorrow (2013)

Someone definitely wasn't having a Disney day when they came up with this movie. It's the film equivalent to drawing a dick onto a cartoon character. Escape from Tomorrow is a satirical dark comedy film about a man named Jim who is having the worst day at Disney World you could possibly imagine. He descends into a living nightmare after getting fired from his job on the last day of vacation and a chance encounter with two underage French girls, and he learns that bad things can happen even at the Happiest Place on Earth. This was definitely made by a man who wants to show that Disney isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Now I love going to Disney World, and I love most of their movies and the characters and all that, so I guess that's why I thought this was a rather uneven movie. I do have to commend Escape from Tomorrow for just how incredibly ambitious it was. Most of the film was shot at Disneyland or Disney World without any permits. That alone made me want to watch it, and the guerilla filmmaking added a rather disturbing and twisted layer to an already dark film because almost everything is genuine Disney. Spaceship Earth is real, the Contemporary is real, and the guests are all real.The director, Randy Moore, obviously had a lot on his mind when he was creating the film. All the conspiracies about Walt Disney, rumors of decapitations on roller coasters, and the screaming children everywhere gave him a lot of material to work with in showing Disney World as the imperfect place it really is. At times, however, it did seem as if Moore had too much he wanted to say. There were lots of ideas presented that never carried past those certain scenes, and that made the film rather unfocused. It goes on these tangents about how the princesses are in a secret ring of prostitutes and some bizarre cat flu, but those ideas are never developed. Other than that, Escape from Tomorrow did get dull at times. The entire film was told from Jim's point of view, but the problem with that is that his mind isn't terribly interesting. We're pretty much watching a man go through a mid-life crisis. Most of the movie is dedicated to just watching him look depressed while waiting in line for Buzz Lightyear or riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The execution of the movie is ultimately its downfall, but there's no denying its thought-provoking themes. Jim desperately wants his youth back so that he can get an escape from tomorrow (see what I did there?) Jim's wife doesn't even want him to touch her, his son's a brat, and he just lost his job. He finds and stalks these two teenage French girls and neglects his kids like some 20-something year-old which finally causes him to lose his sanity and start hallucinating and drinking. Escape from Tomorrow is a film with a lot of ambition and ideas, but it's bogged down by its somehwat dull execution. However, it is still interesting to see how they pulled off this stunt without Disney suing them (the company chose to just ignore the film). Whether you think Disney is a fantastic place filled with wonder or a land filled with fake magic and corporate greed, it's essential for any horror buff to see guerilla filmmaking in its rawest form.

5/10

I don't mind using my imagination but imo there are just too many things that don't make sense and not enough leads to go on.

The Appeared 2007

I could not finish it. Too much of the people doing stupid things in horror movies plot device. Particularly the main characters' actions and inaction were not consistent or connected to changes in the characters. Lots of things happen to make other things happen too conveniently. The suspension of disbelief goes away fast.

I want to see this.
