Green Room (2016)

The Boy (2016)

Okay. This is something different.

Firstly, there is alot of drama in this "horror" movie.

And frankly for a "horror" movie, way TOO much drama!!

Greta Evans (Lauren Cohan) is an American running away from her past . In fact, she ran all the way to England, and became a nanny (A fan of Mary Poppins maybe?? )

She works for a very wealthy family, the Heelshire, taking care of their son, Brahms.

When she was first introduced to Brahms (her first day), she was shock to find that he is a 2.5" porcelain doll!!!

She also met the local grocer, Malcolm (Rupert Evans, last seen by me in Hellboy) on her first day.

I know, it sound a little prozac'ed, and for much of the movie it is.

The ending does redeem itself a little, I just wish more things had happened during the course of the movie.

Granted, I wasn't paying that much attention, was cleaning my apartment whilst watching this (distracted?)... Maybe need to re-watch...

Will keep you posted.

Krampus (2015)

Now, for something old skool.

If you like movies like Gremlins and Gremlins II, you may like this.

All the "effect" are practical rather then CGI, and I for one appreciate that.

Krampus is an old believe that is you lose the spirit of Christmas, Santa Clause does not pay you a visit.

Instead, Krampus would visit.

Where Santa reward, Krampus punishes.

Where Santa gives, Krampus takes.

I like this.

It's old skool. (Like me)

The Witch (2015)

This is Robert Eggers's first feature film as a director and he he did an amazing job.

His creates "spook" by telling a story.

No shock around the corner.

No suddenly loud music.

Just by telling a story.

He started out his profession as a set director.

This movie is set in the 1800s so, everything is authentic!!!

In an interview, he said he wanted his set design to invoke "smell"!!

Wow...

Still cannot get over how well this story is told

An it is more of a creepy/eerie feeling rather than a straight out fright!!

I don;t want to say too much about this.

Do not want to spoil it for you.

Really good movie!!

The Last Man on Earth (1964)

Well here is something I did not know until today.

For the lovers of the movie, I Am Legend (2007) is based on Richard Matheson's novel I Am Legend, this is the first movie adapted from the same book!

This movie stars Vincent Price!

Original Fritz Lang was supposed to have directed this (that would have been a different level of movie all together)

Do not watched this to see an old version of I Am Legend (2007).

Watch this if you are a fan of Vincent Price.

Hammer was supposed to have made this. They could not get approval from the British Censor, so the rights were sold to Robert Lippert (American Producer).

To save money, the film was shot in Italy with a predominantly Italian cast and crew.

Watched this is color, then only to notice I could have watched in it's original Black and White version (*groan*)

I love the camp!!

Although in I Am Legend, almost everyone is a vampire, here they are move zombie like!!

Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965)

Like it's comic books counterpart, movie used to have anthology within itself.

What do I mean?

Take this for example. There are five story within this movie, with a main story tying everything together...

So this movie has these 5 short stories

Werewolf
Creeping Vine
Voodoo
Disembodied Hand (with a VERY young Michael Gough (Tim Burton's Batman's Alfred), whom I did not recognised and Christopher Lee!!)
Vampire (Youthful Donald Sutherland)

With Peter Cushing (Dr. Terror' / Dr. W. R. Schreck) tarot card reader's story tying everything together!!

Made by Amicus Productions (second largest Horror movie makers in England (Owned by Americans) outside of Hammer)

I missed these short story horror movies.

Maybe Joel Silver and Robert Zemeckis could revive this format through their Dark Castle Entertainment production house.

Their remake of House on Haunted Hill (1999), Thir13en Ghosts (2001), Ghost Ship (2002), Gothika (2003) and House of Wax (2005) were quite enjoyable!!

just watched The Vatican Tapes. below average if u ask me and the ending really give me a big wtf slap on my face i dont know if its the direction of the film but mybe it just me

based on the trailer i bet



just finished downloading Children of the corn for the sake of childhood time. cant beat the classic right?

As for your assumption about The Boy... Did you write the script?

I cannot say I am extremely fond of Children of The Corn. And have to add what's important is that you like it.

For some odd reason, I prefer Village Of The Damn.

The Uninvited (1944)

A ghost/horror movie made during WWII, and is the first that takes "ghost story" seriously (instead or camp/comedic).

Quite well cast.

Beautifully shot.

Movie opens with a pair of carefree brother and sister, "discovering" a huge "abandon" mansion on a cliff, by the sea.

On a spur, they made a ridiculous offer on the house to the owner of the house and surprisingly, they offer was accepted!

They moved from the city (London) to the country side to their new mansion and soon befriended the original owner's grand daughter, who has a strange attachment to the mansion...

Things soon goes bump in the dark?

Interesting movie.

Actually uses something that is widely copied in future ghost movie, ectoplasm, which is quite well done (not quite sure how they managed it back then).

If you like old movies, give it a go.

My Two Sen

to be frank, i have never really a good horror film in terms of good plot. but i am looking towards watching the conjuring 2!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016)

I am rarely surprised by a movie.

Especially if it shows signs of originality!

I was constantly surprised by this movie and surprisingly quite original!!!

Jane Austin and zombies are NEVER spoken together and like and oxymoron they do now!!

Believe or not the oriental killing arts comes into play!! Horror as well!!

The casting perfect.

Great production value.

Script is witty and the direction on the point!

I like this movie ALOT

The Conjuring 2 (2016)

Have you every had one of those bad days, that just did not start right, and as the days progress, things got bad, to worst, and worst, and worst....

This is the day I had.

And at 4 pm + I got rained on, and I still had an appointment to keep, and in my wallet, a ticket for a 5:45pm movie session, for The Conjuring 2!

I quickly rushed to my appointment, and you know the scene in Zootopia, at the DMV, and all the people in the DMV were sloth.

That again would be me, at my 4pm+ appointment and the time loomed closer and closer to 5:45pm...

Strangle, I managed to finish my appointment and was able to arrive at the cinema at 5:48pm....

Parked my car.

Got into the elevator and from B2 to 5th floor, EVERYONE had to either got on or get off...

At the cinema at 5:55pm

I prayed to the cinema gods that the trailers/adds ran long!....... And they did, managed to catch one trailer and two or three ads and the movie started!

Things can only get better right?

The person sitting next to me started to cough, and than cough and than on and on....

Cinema quite empty, got to a seat several rows behind and then things started to get better.

Enough about me, what about the movie??

Well, when the movie was first suggested, the Amityville storyline crept thru the grapevine.... And it does!!

Wait, is this not about the Enfield Poltergeist?

Yes it is?!?

Two in one?????

You can say that.

Am I being overly cryptic?

Yes I am!!

I just don't want to spoil it for you.

What makes a great sequel?

To me, a great sequel has to stand on it's two feet. Meaning, if the first movie was not made, the second movie would have had stood on it's own and made an obscene amount of money.

And I believe The Conjuring 2 succeeded in that.

Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson are back as Lorraine & Ed Warren.

Carey Hayes & Chad Hayes + David Leslie Johnson & James Wan did the script.

The main surprise for me is that Enfield Poltergeist is a "famous" ghost story case, and I have not heard anything about it!! (My member at the My Name is Mov_Freak and I am a Shock-a-holic revoked)

And I thought I have every episode of Strange But True? Hm...

Anyway... Moving on...

Spooks a plenty

If you think you have figured out James Wan's formula, this movie proves that he does NOT have a formula, he gets his scripts/beats right.

I do have one complain

With it all said and done, it really does not matter what I say here, it boils down to how curious you are.

So, go watch this.

You know you want to!!

Jeepers Creepers (2001)

Wow, it's kinda a reruns for me these few days.

This also got a new remaster and also new special features!!!

This movie never looked better.

Do not compare it to, let's say Avatar (this is after all a pretty low budget movie).

But compared to it's previous releases (DVD and Bluray) this is the best it has looked.

This movie is basically a road trip.

Brother and Sister going back home from college for spring break.

Instead of taking the highway they decided to use the scenic route.

Can they bumped into something they should not have bumped into.

Basically this is a creature feature.

The first half of the movie was just BRILLIANT.

The second half, because of budget constraints, the director did not get to tell the story he had written but did not filmed.

Even then, it is a pretty darn good scary movie.

Interested to note that this is Justin Long's third feature.

He and his sister's reaction is from the the point of view of the audience.

If you have not watched this, threat yourself

Jeepers Creepers II (2003)

What do you do, if a small movie you put out there, which you had not much high hopes for makes alot of money??

Well. You make a sequel.

The original team came back

Writer/Director Victor Salva got more money and control on the project.

Not as original as the first, but as sequels goes, it is actually decent.

This take place (in terms of time frame) quite close to the first movie.

About a bunch of high school students, trapped on a broken down bus, on a desolated country road.

The "creature" is slightly difference and definitely more "cheeky".

If you like the first, you would like this.

Again, movie never looked better.

My Two Sen.

does anyone recall this horror movies? its kinda religious horror too... i believe

saw when im like 17-18 yold

its about a priest who accidentally release 2 angels, which feed human souls to live... other community/group of priest despise the priest who release those "angels"...

then the priest travel to NYC or some huge town... cooperate with one policewoman i believe who have a kind of mark that can "save the world". Other people think the priest is crazy until suicide case happen. The policewoman also bringing up the case finding the "killer"

I only recall an orb that captivates(capture) those "angels" and a dagger which own by the policewoman i believe...

Blair Witch is back, revamped with better production and bigger budget.



Reviews from SDCC is positive.
Hope it does not disappoint.
2016 looks to be a good year for horror movies so far.

Would be helpful is you have the year

Hm... Cannot say I liked the first one...

Yes, 2016 is turning out to be a good year for horror!!
