Don't you JUST luv holiday in the middle of the week!
I do!!
Managed to watch 2 (read that TWO) horror movie yesterday and they are... I'm getting ahead of myself
Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)After the first two, I thought this subject matter would be at best slightly above average!
Boy am I wrong.
First thing first, for viewers of the previous movie, Paranormal Activity is the last movie according to time line, the second prequel to the first and this is prequel to the second!!
This movie is made with USD 5,000,000, and it kept me entertained throughout the movie compared to USD 300,000,000 movies (I'm looking at you Transformer 3!!!!)
Storyline isn't earth shattering, it is how they present the material (camera work) that is interesting (I shouldn't elaborate, don't want to spoil you fun)
The director was able to slowly built up the suspense to the end
Some would say that all the paranormal activity movie looks like one another, and I say it is a good thing, because the story keeps expending.
Sequels (Prequels) do not usually work because the story does not expend, this one does, and shooting the story in reverse actually adds to the charm
Ladies and gentlemen this is a good horror movie.
Fans of 1 & 2 will not be let down
Horror fans, if you had not had a chance to check out 1 & 2, go check them out and then check this out

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010)Two horror movies in
ONE day.
I cannot remember when was the last time I did that!!
Admittedly, the above was done at 11am in the morning and this at 9pm at nite.
I had the privilege of watching both these movie in an ALMOST empty cinema, which added to the creepiness!!

First of all, this movie is produced by Guillermo del Toro, which means one thing. Spectacular sets. Breathtaking, really.
Fans of Guillermo del Toro know that he has a passion for dark fairy tales (down to the toad stool circle and children beware, anyone??), and I DON'T mean the Disney kind. All you have to do is look at his past works and you know what I mean (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy, Blade 2 etc)
Speaking of Hellboy, one of the bad guys in Hellboy is the agonist here!! I do not want to elaborate so that I do not spoil it for you!
For the life of me, while watching this I kept saying I've seen this. I've seen this on TV (many, MANY years back) and true enough this is a remake of the 1973 TV movie!!
I've been accuse of being to kind to movie when I preview them and I promise you, you'll probably
NOT see a finer
horror movie, in 2011
