HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET (2012)-This was better than we thought it would be , although it reminds me a lot of Season One of AMERICAN HORROR STORY (minus the ultra hot Moira O'Hara, although Jennifer Lawrence is quite fetching). ***

Yes, I always stay to the end of the superhero films. Should be an interesting story.

The Canal (2014)

Quite typical & predictable but this slow burn psychological horror from Ireland was pretty well made & well performed by the cast. Liked that 'Sadako' moment near the end.

5/10

Could list 50 reasons why I didn't like the film, but I'll keep it short. Nothing happens till the 80-minute mark, and by then they have become too preachy and teeny for my taste. The last quarter is where all the good stuff is, but the time spent to get there is a costly payment for that. Jim Carrey is absolutely wasted, the sidekicks are too unimpressive, and even Hit Girl herself walks through the film completely subdued.

If you are a big fan of the original, save your money and skip this.

The Hooligan Factory (2014)
B-
I liked it but I know this movie is not for everyone.
It's a parody on British crime flicks like Essex Boys, The Firm, Rise Of The Footsoldier, The Football Factory,...
If you haven't seen those and don't know anything about the English football culture, you won't get most of the jokes.

Oh, wow!! A rare high mark from Geordie. Will rent.

haha its worth it.

Live Die Repeat/Edge of Tomorrow
7.5/10

Is this movie "Live, Die, Repeat" or "Edge of Tomorrow"? I have the answer to that. It's definitely, "Live, Die, Repeat", because the film keeps things really, really, really simple. But still a complete and satisfying Action Sci-fi.

--Potential, but not likely, spoilers --------------------------------------
The title, and the DVD box reads, "Live, Die, Repeat", so if you don't know, or don't want to know, what that means, don't read any further. In concept, this is "Groundhog Day" meets "Matrix Reloaded". Just in concept, or setting... because this movie keeps things very simple. Groundhog Day explores a novels-worth of the concept of "repeating a day" until you understand, as an analogy, or setting, for the purpose of life. Live, Die, Repeat explores very little, and has very little to say. It's merely a setting for an action film.

Tom Cruise does an excellent job conveying as much as he can with his face and how he say things. He moves the film up a notch, because lesser actors would have not been able to cover the rather shallow character development of the script dialogue & action.

--Spoilers---------------------------
The creatures reminded me too much of the 'squidies' from the Matrix. Considering the Matrix is so huge, the creatures weren't very creative, and didn't seem to be able convey much of anything about our antagonists beyond they keep their mouths open and roar.

The action and effects are good. I thought it was fairly funny, but could have been much funnier. The more character & plot development, the more emotion, humor and relevance is possible. Simple can be very good, especially when it's stark, personally I wouldn't ascribe that to Live, Die, Repeat. But I enjoyed it.



That's what I was thinking.
I'll check it out too.

Wolves (2014)
D+
Rated-R but still felt like it's aimed at teens.
The story's predictable, the new werewolf logic is dumb, the transformations are cheap and silly,...
Only thing I liked were the two main actors and the litte bits of blood and gore.

I was eagerly waiting for a decent & interesting JINN movie but strangely it wasn't based on the mythology that we know here. This is a wasted opportunity as they had enough decent budget to make one. Lackluster effort in almost every aspect.

I really enjoyed that Inner Demons, low budget well done

Maniac
 

I wasn't expecting much from this movie, and I got what I expected. The film is told from the killer's perspective, as in, the camera is in the first-person perspective. Elijah Wood did an alright job with playing the mentally unstable Frank, but those two aspects were the only good things about the movie. It didn't have a single developed character, which made the kills pretty dull, and the plot is very generic for a slasher film. There was also no tension, which made the movie even more boring. It's pretty much a poor man's Psycho. I definitely don't recommend this.

^I thought it was a great film and nicely changed the original. The hobbit made a nice alternative to Joe Spinell's sweating hulk of a psycho.

The Canal, 2014. 8/10

Yeah..there were few decent jump scares but overall didn't find it much impressive. Probably got tired of such forced found footage/POV flicks of demonic possessions. Moreover, hated that ending, everyone else should have died:danger:

Agree with Ferox. Loved it too, one of the few good remakes made recently. A killer mission by Frodo! I think it was pretty challenging to deliver such a convincing performance through that kind of POV format. The kills & the overall making of this film were pretty good also, IMO.

Extraterrestrial (2014)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps73665b87.jpg

Pretty fun & simple sci-fi/alien abduction horror and a fairly entertaining time waster.

'Dracula Untold' (2014)
-Luke Evans

Plot: The story of how Vlad The Impaler became the king Of Vampires

Phantoms Review: Gotta admit, I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. Less a horror movie , more of a supernatural action movie, but entertaining nonetheless. Good acting, FX , story and action. Not a classic, but fun to watch

Inner Demons - I thought this was a cool concept, and liked the main actress. The ending was also random and a bit of a surprise.

Extraterrestrial - LOVED this one! I always tend to enjoy alien-themed films, but this was a fun approach to the abduction concept. I thought it was visually impressive, great sets and CGI and the ending was great.

Asmodexia - Though I often enjoy stories about exorcisms and demonic possession, I was a bit disappointed in this one. The ending made it worth the watch.

BRUISER (2000)-George Romero film that has an interesting premise, but doesn't fully use it successfully. Worth seeing, but don't expect DAWN OF THE DEAD or MARTIN. ***

"Mercy" 8/10

What do you get if you take a Stephen King story and add a tad of Lovecraft? Witchcraft. And a pretty good horror movie.

The Lovecraft is just for show and the ending might be a little Disneyish, but it's still a good watch. As in any other King adaption there's known actors in the lead roles and they all do a good job in this one. Also, the story is kind of confusing, at least it was to me. Like, it took me forever to figure out who the aunt was and I never figured out what part Dylan McDermott played in the background story. And what happened to the childrens dad? Oh well, STILL a good movie.

And holy hell does Frances O'Connor hold her age well. That's witchcraft right there. ::love::

Movie adaptation of Stephen King's short story Gramma, it bored the socks off me. 5/10

The Calling - 2014
 

Susan Sarandon & Gil Bellows

This was a very different type of movie; I liked the plot and it has a great cast. I still find myself having questions about it......

"Detective Hazel Micallef hasn't had much to worry about in the sleepy town of Fort Dundas until a string of gruesome murders in the surrounding countryside brings her face to face with a serial killer driven by a higher calling."

I give it a B+.

Nicest serail killer ever!

The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014)
C+
Not great but better than I expected and better than average.
Haven't seen the original so I can compare.
But I can say it's no sequel or remake.

not really a huge fan of FF movies but I will recommend this one

pretty creepy in parts.....does have a couple of shortcomings that a movie of this type would...like why the hell would this be filmed and then "found".

worth a watch

The picture's not showing, what's the film?

Djinn (2013)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps595afe14.jpg

Hard to believe this is the latest TOBE HOOPER film!! :shocked:
Another so called "Jinn" flick that give very little damn about anything related with original mythology.
Very mediocre overall with a quite lame plot line, mostly looked like a TV episode or an anthology segment from a young director.

The Houses October Built (2014)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...pscbb64e60.jpg

The idea was interesting...a group of friends set off on a road trip in an RV to track down underground 'extreme haunt' in haunted house attractions at Halloween season...which I think would be better fit as a VHS like anthology segment instead of a full feature length film. The BLUE SKELETON gang of clowns & weird characters was kinda really freaky & that kept my interest till the end but the big let down was the final climax. Expected a lot more; just when all the freaky things started it felt like they ran out of idea & forcefully put an end to it.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014)

Good movie but not as good as the first part. I give that one A+.

Memories of Murder (2003)
C+
Korean crime drama. Not bad but the ending kinda ruined it for me.

"Annabelle" 7/10

Like James Wan's former movies this one mostly consisted of loud sounds and music to make it scary, even when nothing scary was happening. When something scary DID happen tho Annabelle was quite entertaining (the highlight being the small girl running towards the door). Sadly, when nothing suspenseful was happening the movie tend to be really DOLL (I'm a comedic genius).

"Extraterrestrial" 5/10

Except for the last 20 minutes I was bored throughout this flick, even tho it contained very few slow moments. One reason: The entire cast (except for Michael Ironside). Listening to them was as exciting as watching paint dry and I really couldn't care less about their fate.
And the aliens were just so cliché, both in looks and behavior. Seriously, what is their fetish with probes in asses? ::big grin::
