The Houses October Built 7/10

They did an entire South Park episode on that.
Pretty funny.

Get Hard (2015)
A bit too average for a Will Ferrell comedy.
But it's still Will Ferrell so it wasn't that bad. His faces, yelling and dialogue always make me laugh in some way.

Infini (2015)
Sci-fi/horror/thriller with elements of Aliens and Event Horizon.
For someone who's not big on sci-fi I thought it was alright.

Mad Max Fury Road

Enjoyable. Entertaining. Visually awesome. Didn't really pay attention to the acting quality, too much explosion and crashing. Its not a powerful film, but that's not the point. Its an excuse to show lots of special effects and action.

SPOILERS:

However. A woman saving women brought to a group of elderly, but still buff women who work together to conquer. Yes Max was involved as was one of the white skinned boys, but they were adjuncts to the Charlize Theron show. This made me happy.

Problem Child 2 7/10

Minions (2015)

If you've ever seen Despicable Me or its sequel, you will definitely remember the little yellow tic-tacs called the Minions. They stole the show in almost every scene they were in, and they were memorable and cute little sidekicks. However, too much of a good thing isn't necessarily a good thing, and the origin story for the Minions is the perfect example of that. Minions shows what those little bananas did before they met Gru as they journey to the International Supervillain Convention in 1968 and become henchmen to the world's most notorious villain, Scarlet Overkill. The issues with Minions are present from the very first scene and continue throughout the entire film. Much of the humor, as agonizing as this sounds, is supposed to come from the way the Minions talk. That wears out its welcome extremely quickly as you can imagine. Even the jokes that don't concern the Minions are reused numerous times throughout the film, making this movie tedious and repetitive. That could be somewhat forgiven if Minions had interesting characters or a compelling enough story, but unfortunately, this film has none of that. The Minions aren't exactly dramatic characters; they're always the sidekicks, destined to be overshadowed by the villains they serve. Even Scarlet Overkill is a fairly generic villain. She doesn't have any sort of special powers or a unique personality to distinguish herself from other power-hungry female villains. There's never any sort of drama or development with her character. Now onto the unfocused and rushed plot. If you have the attention span of a goldfish, you might find the plot of Minions to be fun, but anyone else will feel like they're being suffocated by the insanity of this film. This movie just never takes a break. There's never a moment where you can calm your senses from the insanity of the previous scene, and it's not because it's some action-packed spectacle. It seemed like the filmmakers were trying to fit as much as they possibly could into each scene so that much younger kids wouldn't be bored. Minions might entertain the least demanding moviegoers and their very young children, but anyone else should stay away from the contrived plot, tired jokes and dull characters littered throughout this movie.

3/10

Burying the Ex (2014)
Average zombie romcom.
Last 15 minutes are the best. It includes a fun cameo.
Also Alexandra Daddario is freakin' cute.

The Stranger (2014)
Not great but better than average.
Too bad most of the violence was off screen or in between scenes.

Silent House (American Remake) -

This was advertised as a horror movie. And one that seemed like a good one. From the beginning I felt something was off. I liked the one take nature or how they edited it to look like one take. And I thought it would be a movie I would watch again just to find the editing points. However, this isn't a real horror movie. It's an LMN type movie pretending to be a horror movie. Kind of like The Ward, it's a horror movie for women. It's almost kind of obvious at the beginning too with a character that just didn't seem like the character he should be. The best thing was the one take element and the performance of the lead actress.

I was going to pass on the original because of this movie but it seems like the original is a bit different. So I'll still check that out one day.

What exactly is a "horror movie for women?" I enjoyed it.

Yeah I don't get that either. It wasn't a great film, but I don't see how its 'for women.'

How does one determine a ''horror movie for women''?

"Guys it's Ok he just wanted his machete back!" ::big grin::::big grin::

Der Samuari (2014)

Ghostwatch (1992)

Before Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project and even the criminally underrated The Last Broadcast was Ghostwatch. While it didn't really define found footage like the aforementioned movies did (technically, 1980's Cannibal Holocaust was the first to do it), it was one of the first films to have the characters film a majority of their scenes. Ghostwatch is a mockumentary about four respected presenters and their camera crew who attempt to discover the truth behind the most haunted house in the UK, which first aired in 1992. Ghostwatch is complete with testimonials, calls to the set from viewers, and live footage shot by the camera crew, making the viewer feel like they're watching a legitimate documentary. This does start out rather slowly, making the most of the documentary-style filmmaking, but after that gimmick starts to wear off, the film switches to more of a horror film. The last half of the plot takes twists and turns that you'll never predict while still scaring you senseless. If you're a fan of mockumentaries or ghost movies in general, you don't want to pass up Ghostwatch.

9/10

H..I really liked this one also.

Went to see The Gallows last night and was surprised. My prediction that I would either love it or loathe it was wrong. I ended up just feeling kind of...lukewarm about it. It's silly and at times it's fun, particularly when the script deftly draws humor from "theater people" stereotypes, but where's the scares??
The movie seemed to rely solely on jump scares to create tension, which to me, doesn't work. Without tension and some believable drama, the jumps are just gratuitous. I liked the people in the movie, even the as8hole we all are supposed to hate, ( and yes he was obnoxious, which means the actor did his job ), but the movie never creates any palpable fear or anxiety so it fails as horror. I also found the last 5 minutes of the film pretty comedic, and I'm sure that wasn't the filmmakers intention.
I think it was a fun watch, and if you have low expectations and a great buzz, you might at least have a good time. It's frivolous and you wont remember anything about the movie 48 hours later, but it's goofy enough to entertain. If you're looking for a scary movie with a strong story and a plot that isn't totally transparent, search elsewhere my friends.

What I mean by a horror movie for women is just that. The movie probably works better if you are a woman. And definitely on second viewings it will be more towards women. I mentioned The Ward because they are similar movies.


Here is my review on The Ward that will better explain my feelings -


WARNING THERE ARE SPOILERS THAT WILL RELATE TO BOTH MOVIES!!!


http://horror.com/forum/showpost.php...postcount=1085


In Silent House I did find myself attached to the main character, what was happening, and how or if she was going to escape. But once the final act happened, the majority of the first parts collapsed just like in The Ward. What I thought was going to happen did even though I really hoped there would be more to it. It is like those LMN movies with the troubled, broken, divorced, etc. woman. And I just think that the movie will have more impact on women. Or maybe people that went through traumatic experiences when young.

Deep in the Darkness 2014

A doctor and his family move to a quiet, small town. Soon he discovers the town's dark secret.

The first scene of the film is a scene near the end of the film. I REALLY do not like when this is done. It did not add anything to the film. Its slow for about 30 minutes, then goes a lot faster and becomes a lot more interesting for 20 minutes. Then it gets slow again until the end. The slow parts aren't interesting. The fast parts are good, not great. The very end was pathetic.
I'd say fast forward until the doctor finds the 'dark secret.' And then watch for 20 minutes and then shut if off.

Final Girl, 2015. 7/10



This was kinda awesome, made no sense but visually amazing with its shadows and lighting. An arthouse slasher?!? Yeah. It felt like modern twilight zoneish and the clothes they wore were like.. odd. LSD anyone?



Unhallowed Ground, 2015. 4/10

New Kids Turbo (2010)
"Five white trash hooligans fall on hard times during the economic crisis and decide to quit paying for everything. Cops get involved and things start escalate."

New Kids Nitro (2011)
"The boys get into a feud with a rival crew from a nearby village.
Meanwhile a meteorite causes a zombie outbreak."

New Kids Turbo and New Kids Nitro are hard R-Rated Dutch comedies based on a sketch show.
Constant swearing, lots of drinking, ultra-violence,... Even a couple of kids die on screen.
Anyway, it was my second viewing and I still found them pretty funny.
But the humour's not for everyone and I don't know how well it translates to English.

The Gallows (2015)

I loved it! It may not be original in the slightest, but it was really good for me. I loved the lighting.

Towards the ending, it started to take a really good turn.

The actual ending though... spoiler: it is very very shit.

>> 8/10

I'm givin' high marks to all three of these flicks....
Wyrmwood Road of the Dead
Spring
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

::big grin::
My thoughts exactly.

Still lost. Having not seen either examples the impression of the movie isn't the same when reading a review. Could you use a more well known example and explain further? Like what gender you think the Halloween series is geared towards?

I'm sure you don't mean insult by your comment, I'm just genuinely curious.

Splinter (2008)
Decent horror-thriller.

I Know What You Did Last Summer

I swear Sarah Michelle Geller is an immortal. That aside. I've never seen this before, but it's making me nostalgic for high school. It's painfully accurate within the first half hour how we have all these talents and dreams and hopes of achievements for after school. Then not even a year later everything goes to shit and you're still living with your parents working a shit job to make ends meet. ...Oh and there's a dead guy who wasn't dead but is now dead.

I'm actually very impressed with the characters. A bit cliche but each of them still unique in a way. You feel sorry as hell for Geller's character. I may have rambled before and it was her situation I was referring too. Just when you think her life is shit enough, ol' hook hand comes a knockin'.

I realize it's Hewitt's character we're supposed to feel sorry for but shit she's so Mary Sue. I do love how he toys with her though. It's so amusing to watch her go crazy with the waiting.

JFC I wish Geller's ex would get axed. Why the hell would hook-hand let him live after knocking him over with a car. He's so fucking intolerable. Always overly angry, aggressive, and abusive IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDS AND TO HIS FRIENDS. Hell I would've thrown him in the river with the "dead" guy.

Hewitt's ex on the other hand is a bit of a Gary Stu. Poor, pretty, angsty. Doesn't want to grow up to be daddy but whoops I'm a fisherman now. Bet he and Hewitt are the only survivors.

After movie: Called it. Why the hell does Ray or whatever his name is try so hard to keep Hewitt's character alive. She did nothing but push him away and accuse him. Bland as toast without butter both of you. Get axed in a sequel.

I actually did like this though. Mostly because of the mystery and actual build up to kills. Didn't kill them right away, toyed with them a little, nice and suspenseful. I would watch again.

This one really impressed and surprised me. It's one of the best found footage movies in years.

>>> 10/10

You don't think 10/10 is a little... much?


I'd give it a 6/10 mostly because of Mark Duplass.

No... we can have different opinions ya know

The accuracy.

I like it a lot too. Plus, on top of making me nostalgic for high school, one of my earliest memories is Jack Black getting killed in this movie, weird as it is.

Dude Bro Party Massacre III (2015)
A- or B+

Supposed to be a old vhs recording from a banned 80's slasher shown on tv.
At first I thought it was going to be "so bad it's good", and it was, but it's regular good too. I think people will either love or hate this.

The fact that they made 3 of these makes me want to see it.

Death By Tights, 2015.

Any good?

Jack Black was in it?! *after Google* Are you sure you're not thinking of ''I Still Know''?

I was shocked to see the guy who played Leonard from Big Bang in it. ...He's not a favorite actor but hey look ANOTHER familiar face, who DON'T i know in this movie!

I didn't like it all......

Disagree. I've turned off a movie after 5 minutes because I knew it was going to suck that bad!

I need to check this one out!!

I didn't think it was that great just mediocre. i would have given it a 4/10.

I want to check this one out......

I was going to pass on the original because of this movie but it seems like the original is a bit different. So I'll still check that out one day.[/QUOTE]

Yup, my opinion is the same.

I thought it was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poltergeist (2015)

5/10

Not impressed at all. I was really bored.

Insidious Chapter 3

5/10

Again, not impressed and very bored. I enjoyed the first two but this one was a drag.

To the person who said that a certain movie was made for women: ::stick out tongue::

I watch a lot of violent, gory, action-packed, massive cussing type of movies so what is your comment regarding to that? Not every chic is into sappy romantic movies (present company included) so maybe you should eliminate comments like that since you don't know any of us.

Remember which one?

I really think you can't judge a movie after only 5 minutes.
That's kinda like judging a cd after hearing only one song.
