Alone in the dark

POPCORN 1991

A group of students and their professor stage an all night horror movie marathon in a rundown theatre slated for demolition. One of the students has suffered from nightmares most of her life and this is the night she finds out why....

I loved lots of things about this movie but mainly the fact that Dee Wallace Stone was in it (albeit a small part) and that the actual marathon looked like a blast!

WOULD YOU RATHER (2013). Very strange but decent film with a TEN LITTLE INDIANS vibe of what people will do for money. Jeffrey Coombs from RE-ANIMATOR is quite jocular and quite cruel in here. ***

Here's your fix:

After The Dark (2013)

At an international school in Jakarta, a philosophy teacher challenges his class of twenty graduating seniors to choose which ten of them would take shelter underground and reboot the human race in the event of a nuclear apocalypse.

Good fiilm, i enjoyed it, clever film.

Paranormal Activity 4 (2012). Great fun---loads of jolts and scares! These found footage horrors having really started to grow on me lately. Looking forward to part five!

Unrest (2006)..7/10

Devils Due 1.5/10, bad bad film.

Dont Be a Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood 7/10

THE POSSESSION OF DAVID O'REILLY

Late one night, David arrives at the house of his best friend's, gutted upon discovering his longtime girlfriend has been cheating on him. They offer him "bed and breakfast" but before long, tormented David becomes convinced he has brought horrible demons to their house! Has he or is he suffering a mental breakdown?
A bit confusing at times and somewhat unresolved but I'm ok with that. ::confused::

Should have called it "Amazing Life of...".
Fun watch.

So, I should take The Last Days of Mars out of the Netflix queue? ::big grin::

Watched some of Frankenstein's Army yesterday. Turned it off about half-way through, couldn't get into it, was bored.

Unless you want to fast forward through the first 16 minutes, catch some cool stuff in bits and pieces in the middle, and fast forward again till the end to see what the climax is all about.

Watched this one as well, Scare. Bit of a different premise...I liked it.

I think i started watching this once before but wasn't really paying attention and decided i didnt like it. Decided to give it another shot and i found that it was actually pretty good. The characters were fleshed out really well and i loved the villain. The girls made some dumb decisions though. Sometimes i think filmmakers think that they only way they can justify a "hero" character dying is to have them do something really stupid and practically cause their own death instead of just having the villain be smarter and more cunning. Besides that though, i enjoyed it.

"Oculus" 7/10

Slow as hell with very few highlights. But it was very well acted and did have some scary moments in the end.

Chronicle (2012), enjoyed this, thought effects were brilliant.

Doc of the Dead, cant go wrong with a zombie documentary

Attachment 16668

Starts off as a slow burner but then picks up pace, with some genuinely scary chills all through the second half and a great climactic ending.

Recommended.

"Snowpiercer" 8/10

Bad ass sci-fi with a simple yet original story. Took me half the movie to find out the guy in the lead role was Mr. Captain America, Chris Evans. :D

Admission

It was cute. I didn't feel like I wasted my time when it was over. Very predictable, though.

The Sitter, funny in parts

The Possession (2012) I thought it was ok but wasn't too impressed seemed a bit average.

The Mad (2007) 6/10

I watched Frankenstein's Army recently, fun movie, my expectations were pretty low though, so that probably made it seem better than it deserved. They really, really should have ditched the found footage angle of the movie, that would have helped it immeasurably. I generally don't object to the found footage framing device unlike many other people, but there has to be a reason why the story should be told in that format. Frankenstein's Army does not justify it's found footage perspective at all, in fact it undermines it. Anyone who knows anything about film in that era knows that the Russians didn't have color film at that point in time, nor did anyone have cameras with built in microphones, now did any cameras shoot in a 1.77 aspect ratio, nor would the film have had that fine of a image in terms of grain, nor would that much film would have been easy to lug around, nor would the shutters or film sensitivity back then would have allowed them to film in dimly lit areas, and so on and so on. For me, it doesn't hurt the movie too much, as this is a silly film, and it is chiefly about the monsters and bloody carnage, and in that department it delivers. There are a lot of great and inventive monsters in this movie. It felt like the later stages of a Wolfenstein game. For me, that's a good thing, but I could see why others would want more. I don't care that the story and characters are thin because I expected that going in. In the end, for me it's a good movie that could have been better, but at least it had its priorities straight.

The Human Race (2014)

Yes very true, I know I may seem clueless when I ask this but what does NOTL stand for? I'm pretty clueless as of right now, lol! ::big grin::

The last movie I watched however was Re-Animator and I enjoyed it! =)
8/10

It's your freakin name, dum dum. ::roll eyes::

SPLIT SECOND 1992

Rutger Hauer stars in a futuristic (2008!) London besieged with flooding caused by global warming. He's a cop with a mission tracking a homicidal creature responsible for the death of his partner. Its full of over used themes, lot's of over acting which I think is intentional, but not a bad way to pass the time.

Nine Dead

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...14,317_AL_.jpg

I have to admit, I really didnt think I would enjoy this at all but, wow I was surprised. Besides the horrible acting of Clarissa (melissa joan hart) this movie really kept me interested throughout the entire film.

"Proxy" 4/10

Slow ass movie. I mean insultingly slow. Not only did the story move on at snail pace but also the camera work from time to time had me believe the movie had paused itself. That's....bad.

Well, the good thing i can say about Proxy is you have no idea who the main character is and where this movie is going. In fact, you keep wondering wtf is going on untill the credits starts to roll. Also, the acting is quite good.


"Death Clique" 7/10

I went into this movie knowing nothing about it, which was a really good thing. Coz already at the 34 minute mark my jaw hit the floor hard. Harder than in Proxy. I also thought it was a good story that was told really well, except for the timeline. The turn of events just happened unbelievably fast. The movie was aslo very well acted, especially by the 3 girls.


"Hateship Loveship" 4/10

Not even a great cast could save this odd but dull love story.


"Death Do Us Part" 1/10

Pure garbage. The kind of slasher you've seen better a 100 times before. Nothing new, nothing interesting. Annoying characters, bad dialogue and the acting wasn't much better for the most part. Only positive thing I can say is the right person survived.


"Here Comes the Devil" 7/10

The title makes it sound like a comedy. It certainly isn't. Probably just bad translation of the Mexican title"

Started out nicely with a hot sex scene (why I have no idea) followed by brutality, followed by another hot sex scene. For the next 60 minutes the movie just got better and better and could really have been great if it hadn't been for the last 20-30 minutes and a really disappointing ending. Another thing that bothered me was the horrible police work after the childrens reappearance. Nobody bothered to investigate that cave even tho it was
obvious something traumatising had happened there. Stupid.


"Perfect Sisters" 2-3/10

A not very interesting story told even less interesting with 2 very uninteresting lead characters. Also, the whole thing is made as a teen movie with lots of cringeworthy moments even tho the subject is quite heavy. The acting isn't very convincing either except from James Russo. No I don't think the millions of fans of Twilight and The Hunger Games will like this one. Why would they??

If the story had begun where this movie ended it would have been a completely different story. Maybe even a good one.

'Everything or Nothing :The Untold Story Of 007' (2013)

Phantoms Review : Terrific documentary on the history of the James Bond franchise. Filled with interviews, archival footage and film clips. If your a James Bond 007 fan, you have to see this film.

I'll have to look for that one

Money Talks (1997), comedy with Chris Tucker & Charlie Sheen.

"Divergent" 3/10

For an action movie this was one long bore. Now, I can see how this would appeal to fans of The Hunger Games. But to everybody else... highly doubtful.

Doesn't help the movie that the charaters/actors are utterly plain and that the gift "Divergent" basically just means nobody can control your mind. WAUW!!! that's fucking awsome.. ::roll eyes::::roll eyes::::roll eyes::::roll eyes::

Absolute sucker for such films. Slow-burn, yes. Depp, yes. Polanski, yes. Mystery/suspense, yes.

And Emmanuelle Seigner's boobs.

Here Comes The Devil

I wasn't expecting the sexuality to dominate the story and I thought it would be a lot creepier but it had a decent story and i enjoyed it.

A Fantastic Fear of Everything

This was not what i was expecting at all but i loved it. So much fun and Simon Pegg was excellent.

House Of The Rising Sun (2011) 6/10

agree...Simon Pegg was excellent. Not a bad movie at all, just seemed like it was going for a Terry Gilliam vibe and never quite made it.

Love this movie.
Story, characters, locations, atmosphere, coloration,...
Also has a very strong Lovecraftian vibe imo.
I wish there were more movies like this.
