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.

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

My Two Sen

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.

Er... Dogma (1999)?

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!!

Lights Out (2016)

Have you heard of the saying, ignorance is bliss?

Well, when it comes to this movie, it sure is.

I knew very little about this movie going in. Just based on word of mouth really and...

I like IT!!!

Warner Brothers is currently definitely the King of horror (Shame on you Universal).

Having said that with the newly minted Mummy/Dracula/Frankenstein movies Universal had planned (and produced by Mr Tom Cruise), starting 2017, that may change.

Back to the movie, having no expectations, I enjoyed the movie immensely.

The concept is fresh though not new (if you are an avid Youtuber, you probably seen something very similar).

Some people had mention that this is as good as if not better compared with The Conjuring 2 (2016)...

I personally will not go so far. It is definitely better compared with Demonic (2015) and at best it is at par with Deliver Us from Evil (2014).

Good job, Warners, for now.

My Two Sen.

Hey kiddies

A super duper trailer compilation of horror movies that had been shown or will be showing soon.

Enjoy

Yes... it is the 16th of the Ghost Festival

I usually would not define this kinda movie as horror and have to add it freaked me out so

The Shallows (2016)

Paint me surprise that this movie has not already got it's own topic!!

I know I know, the question on everyone's mind is, is this SHARKNADO movie??

I am sorry to say, NO!!

I did a movie marathon yesterday and it is very good.

The audience really gets involved with the lead (Blake Lively).

This movie is considered "low" budget according to Hollywood standards (USD 17,000,000) and has returned in spades (USD 54,000,000).

Why does this work?

Story people, it has a story to tell.

Okay, is the story possible?

No... And have to add both Blake Lively (Lead actor) and Jaume Collet-Serra (director), was able to sell it!!!

And the moral of the story is, never give up!!!

Another moral of the story, make sure you have a water resistant handphone with you AT ALL TIMES!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this.

My Two Sen.

Don't Breathe (2016)

Sam Raimi is back in horror!

Well, of sorts.

He is the producer of this movie.

It is good.

I categories it as a Thriller Horror.

What is it about?

Three kids decided to steal from the blind and bites off more then they can chew...

I enjoyed this immensely.

I was sitting next to two group of really noisy people (before the movie started) and I thought to myself *beep*.

As soon as the movie started, they were so invested in the movie... they stopped talking...

Ain't this movie great.

You could here a pin drop, everyone is so invested!!

If you like horror thrillers, go for it.

Well, I can see some typo with the above info (imdb).

First, there are only 2 conjuring movies.

Second, this takes into consideration gross for all the movies. So is they make another conjuring, it can go up into number one spot

Don't Knock Twice (2016)

What is it with the nouveau riche English?

Buying up stately mansion and how many people lives in it?

2 maximum 3!!!

And with all that dough, can they NOT AFFORD decent lighting???

What the hey!!??!!

I find this, a decent horror movie.

Something do not make sense (Like most horror, you just have to go with the flow)

My take away is, be careful whose advise you take. Understand their motives first, before you do so.
