Don't forget 30 Days of Night

Self/Less, 2015. 7/10



Neat scifi thriller. Ryan Reynolds is amazing as usual.

A dying billionaire business man has his 'soul' put into a younger man for 250.00 million dollars. Sounds awesome yeah? well morals and feelings come into play when he looks into some of the flashbacks he goes through and sees this younger mans life.

BLOOD GLACIER 2013


A research team studying climate change, are put to the test when they uncover a strange organism released by a melting glacier. I enjoyed it but found the ending a bit challenging to buy.

Do you mean the Cold Prey/Fritt Vilt movies? They're pretty good, yeah.
Haven't heard of Blood Runs Cold. Thanks for the tip.
Trollhunter is also kinda snowy. Don't know if have you seen that one yet. I love that movie.
And Silent Night (2012) but that's christmas snowy instead of regular snowy.
Still a fun flick.

I don't really remember the ending but I thought it was quite enjoyable.

Trick r' Treat

‘Tammy And The T Rex’ (1994)
-Denise Richards, Paul Walker

Plot: IMDB
An evil scientist implants the brain of Michael, a murdered high school student, in an animatronic Tyrannosaurus. He escapes, wreaks vengeance on his high school tormentors and is reunited with his sweetheart Tammy. Together, the couple try to elude the mad scientist and the police and find a more appropriate vessel for Michael's brain.

Phantom’s Review: There are bad movies, there are REALLY BAD movies, and then there is this movie. Terrible beyond belief. God awful acting, lame attempts at humor, and a story that is so bad it’s hard to believe this film was actually made. The only thing this film has going for it, is the dinosaur actually looks all right. Skip it at all costs , unless your having a Bad Movie Night.

This movie sounds awesome.

I know I'll be looking this one up!

Score! Found it on YouTube...

"Turbo Kid" 8/10

What a blast.

Wasn't surprised to discover that the director of Hobo With a Shotgun had been involved with this one, coz there was a lot of similarities. Gore most of all.

Ritual, 2013. 7/10

Thanks for the heads up, Bloofer! I wanna see this trainwreck too! ::big grin::

Very much agreed. Reeked of Twitard appeal, but it had enough balls to keep itself and I liked it enough. Didn't care for the ending. Trying to turn Connor around and make him look like the good guy was shit. Oh so you WEREN'T just about to try and rape a girl? Yeahhhhhhhh, no.

Really liked John. Wanted to see him shift. He IS a wolf too right? Ah well at least he wasn't useless. Unlike the girls who were also pures and just sat back and watched for the most part. ::roll eyes::

The wolves looked fantastic though. I like a nice wolfman form that manages to pull it off. And fucking Wild Joe was actually dangerous looking. Probably because it's hard to make THAT full of sex appeal like the others. The individual looks also looked great. Some had markings or different fur colors, which made them easier to tell apart and helped express their personalities and what not. You don't see that in werewolf flicks so it was a nice surprise.

Also cannibal werewolves, yes.

TAMMY AND THE T REX 1994

I can certainly validate everything phantomstranger had to say about this one. But still, I just could not stop watching it. Political correctness and every other kind of correctness is just thrown out the door! But I remain unscathed and didn't hate it. ::wink::

Troll Hunter

So much fun! I think this is my 5th watch and it just gets better and better.

I absolutely love Trollhunter!

I watched Jurassic Park last night.

Further proof of Hammerfan's impeccable taste!

In Honor of Mr. Craven..


The People Under the Stairs, 1991. 8/10






Scream, 1996. 9/10

One and Two 2015

Two kids live with their parents on a farm. No electricity. All of it made by themselves. The parents decided to keep their two children apart from society because of what they can do, and what the father thinks they could be. If that makes the film sound like its part of these dystopian and/or fantastical young adult books made into films, its not.

Its a simple film. I stopped half way through, forget why. I couldn't get back into watching it. Its ok I guess. The ending is fairly unsatisfying(I skipped to different spots in the second half) I wouldn't recommend it.

3/10

To honor Wes Craven, watched Scream. I'll watch one of his movies every night.

It's Scream for me too, Hammer. Parts two through four, to be precise. Just started Scream 2 and really looking forward to this mini marathon

Bait, 2014. 7/10

Wes Craven's New Nightmare
::SPOILERS:: (I went a little ramble crazy I'm sorry)

I can see why people might not think much of this. The opening scene even for a dream is hammy, and could Robert England be any more of an attention whore? But that's what Freddy is right? I'm not to experienced with this franchise so I'll keep most of my opinions to myself.

Wes Craven himself is on set in the first scene and that just made everything okay. Think my eyes are sweating idk

I really want one of those rotating dinosaur nightlights. I keep seeing them in movies and I just think they're so damn cool. And speaking of dinosaurs, how adorable is Dylan using his stuffed t-rex as his guard.

The husband dies and she keeps getting warnings about how horrible the body looks. ...My cats have brought me more gruesome bodies to my doorstep.

But good lord all the original cast at the funeral... I can't help but think of the funeral being for Wes. And then he shows up again like; It's okay. Horror never ends.

Honestly, WHY do people keep trying to make kids scary... The kid ties knives to his hands and goes after mom. Even in a dream that's not scary. Kids are easy to overpower, don't try to convince me a lone child screaming and going after you is dangerous. Or at least life threatening.

Shame about the babysitter. I liked her.

Here's an idea. When going after your kid walking towards a VERY busy highway, instead of climbing over the fence when you have a fully functioning vehicle, DRIVE THROUGH IT.

What's crazy about this film is that even though it looks like it could be late 90s early 2000s, it's from 1994. Hard to tell until they use effects. Then it's painfully obvious.

The blending of the two worlds in the end was gradual but quick at the same time... I have no idea how but it was actually pretty awesome. The movie plays out like a dream from here. Like when you dream you're one place wearing something then for some reason your suddenly in different clothes at a different place and time. It's actually eerie.

I don't have anything to really complain about from here. The dreamworld was fun and fucked up like it should be. Robert England was as fun and dangerous as ever. (About a broken jar of snakes: "Pick a pet for the rugrat, BITCH.")

Curious about the random grey streak in her hair. Was this a reference to an earlier Elm Street film or homage to Poltergeist?

Sweet Home, 2015. 5/10

Nailbiter 2012

A mother and her three daughters head out on the road to meet their father/husband coming back from serving in an unspecified military capacity. On the way there's a tornado warning, and of course they encounter a tornado. The mother quickly drives off the road and they find shelter in a storm cellar. But they can't get out. Something or someone is keeping them locked in the cellar.
I liked that its just the girls without the father. Not that having a father is bad, just nice to see something we usually do not see in a horror film. The acting is decent. The gore is tame and what/who is keeping them locked in the cellar we only see short glimpses of. The film reveals too much half way through. This ruins the tension a bit, but not entirely. The ending very obviously is meant to lead to a sequel. Haven't checked if there is one yet. Watching it I felt like it was directed at a teenage crowd, not quite sure why. There are also some parts that are very sad and can be hard to see.
Disappointingly the kill scenes are off screen. Not sure due to budget or to keep the film R and not PG-13.

Its worth a watch.
5/10

The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
::SPOILERS:: can't keep my opinions to myself today

I actually saw this before the original, and believe it or not I liked the remake BETTER. Surely I was ill. I'm watching them in reverse this time after not having seen them in so long. I watched the original first and now it's the remake turn. Makes me wonder if the order you watch a movie really effects your opinion on it. It seems to mine. Already I'm nit picking ''well that was rushed'', ''your character in the original wasn't a twat like you'', yada yada.

The biggest and most annoying change is the characters. The old man at the station is a douche who instead of warning them intentionally sends them too the hillbilly cannibals, the father and son in law are so dramatic and the younger mopes while the elder takes every chance he can get to poke at him.

-after getting stranded by a spike strip in the middle of the desert-
"Next year I'm going on vaca with my friends!"
"We won't have any more of these family trips you know."
OH THE IRONY.

OMG SHUT UUUUUUUP. The son in law doesn't take a gun because he's a liberal or something stupid. ...In the original it was because he wanted to make sure the rest of the family staying behind had a weapon in case something happened. Oh, no, this was a MUUUUCH better route.

And I thought the blood effects in the original were bad. That has nothing on poor Beauty's demise in the remake. I have more realistic looking stuffed animals.

The canyon of abandoned cars was a nice touch. Excellent actually. I got fucking chills when he finds a baby's car seat because you know what happened to that infant..

Backstory through newspaper clippings is lazy and stupid.

The cannibals bother me... In the original only two of them were a little abnormal... but all of them are deformed in one way or another in this. Yeah that's just what America needs. More influences to be judgmental. "See someone with a cleft pallet? They're probably going to kill you." In the original they didn't have deformities. They were monsters without having to look the part. That kind of message has a greater impact and means something. Wait, sorry, this is horror. Those rules go out the door right?

The deaths in this certainly are more bloody. They take away every fucking moment. Remember that touching scene where son-in-law finds his dead wife and he begs her not to go and cries over her body? Nope. They blew her brains out in this and used her for a jump scare so they could use bitchface son in law for more drama.

I remember at least the ending was better in the remake. It'ssss... about matched maybe? The movie moves so fast up til this point. Just. Explain this, explain that, do this quick so we can get to that. When the boy told them Beauty was gone he just blurted it out. That's the whole movie. Just blurted out.

The end though we slow down and move with son in law. We get to experience tension and let the scares build up a little. And we also see son in law become a big boy. Suddenly a badass covered in blood and sweat and no glasses. The best part of the movie when he got the blood lust flowin'. Makes me wonder how he raised his daughter after this.

Now let's see how the kids are doing.
Running from a cannibal with no gun while you actually have one... I see a flaw in this plan, do you? Who are these random ass cannibals anyway? Please tell me that wasn't Papa Jupe. And again no suspense with that fight scene...

Completely sucks about Ruby. Saw it coming though. "Monsters" seldom live happily ever after. Even if they saved your baby.


Beast doesn't deserve these people.

Haha! Roi, you certainly have a way with dissecting horror! That was fun to read.
For me, the remake cant touch the original.

Hehe, thanks. I didn't intend to get so rambly, honest. Had I known I was going to have so much to say on it I would've put it in my topic. S'pose I still could tho. ::big grin::

Oh no doubt about that 8|
I should never doubt my remake rule.

Pod (2015)
Meh.

The Gallows (2015)
Crap.

The Big Bad

It's on Netflix. Bit of a cheesy monster movie but it's what I like.
"A fiery young woman seeks revenge against the killer who destroyed her family -- and she won't quit till she makes the monster suffer for his crimes."

It's not bad. It's not GOOD.. but it's not bad. A bit on the psychological side. And takes forever to get anywhere. The story was good but I don't think it was directed well.

American Psycho. I finally watched it last night. I loved it! I'm really feeling Patrick's beauty routine too. ::big grin::

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water 10/10

Tusk 2014

Alright. So imagine with me. I'm visiting my dad. I'm trying to figure out what movie we could watch together. I'd watched the trailer for Tusk a while ago and remembered my impression being that a bit of an asshole podcaster/radio guy goes to visit an interesting, gnarled recluse who then puts the asshole through harsh treatment to make him tough, or for his own amusement. If you've seen Tusk, obviously its not that. My dad kept telling me how stupid it was, he didn't finish it. I enjoyed it. It made me laugh out loud in a few parts.

Spoiler:
Its very obviously ripping off The Human Centipede, but it's still a decent flic.

Justin Long deserves some sort of recognition reward, specifically for the 2nd half of the movie. He was fantastic. Michael Perks was great, but his role wasn't as difficult to pull off. And the guy who plays his best friend, fuck him because he'll be able to look 20 years younger when he's older. :)

The film was somewhat complex, but not in things to keep track of. In Tusk you get a lot of perspectives and brief moments. These sort of worked, but for me they weren't placed in the right spots.

6/10

I've been wanting to watch this!! I've kinda been crushing on Justin Long since Jeepers Creepers. ::love::

Hah. He looks a lot different in this. Horrid mustache, I believe on purpose.

My parents have on demand(eastern US) so if you've got it you can probably watch Tusk.
