Review: "Deadgirl"(2008)- written November 15, 2010

This movie is a handful. It starts off like a usual horror movie, with some things typical, but it slowly tranforms into something..else. What would you do if you found a girl naked and chained on a table? What if she was dangerous, and had reasons for chains? What if she COULDN'T DIE? In "Deadgirl", two teenage boys stumble upon her while hanging out in an abandoned asylum. One of them takes advantage of this situation, the other feels differently. From here, the story awkwardly unfolds. More characters are introduced, things happen, and the main character feels a lot of stuff. It seems like his goal is to free this girl, which is difficult, but that is not his only struggle. These two points are what make the movie good, to see if he suceeds in overcoming his friend who is now symbolically his enemy, and if he wins his personal fight. Now "Deadgirl" is a good movie, which does have lots of nudity and sexual acts along with the strong language and some gore elements, but the ending should be questioned. Ask, at the end,...is the main character..a hero? A hidden message comes up at this point.., a question. A question of desire, and free will. A question that speaks to many teenagers all over. This movie is recommended, but only to appropriate mature audiances. Now this question is merely an observation/opinion that may be ignored but was found. I would suggest watching the movie first, but if you want the question now, here it is:










Would you control someone, just for your fantasy?

Altitude(2010)-November 14. 2010

Wathcing the credits now, 'Altitude' is an intense Thriller that I deem Oscar worthy! It has minimal blood and violence, a suggestive moment, and some language. This movie is Great, horror fans can watch it too. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Beautiful, amazing, and incredible would all describe "Altitude". Yes, it is about a plane though more so the people in it. The characters in the plane are so real and the actors are amazing. The story is so well written. I would call it a 'must see' / a 'must own' movie. Watch it! One of the best movies this year, on par with "Inception".

"Kynodontas"/"Dogtooth"(2009)-Written November 9, 2010

"Dogtooth" is is not in any way a horror movie, although it does share some of the same content. The movie has a lot of explicit material and one scene that might make you cringe, you would cover your mouth. The film is about a family that live by a particular set of rules. It is this family that keeps the viewers interest through the movie and their way of life the way it should be. "Dogtooth" is interesting but it is not complete in being a great movie, far from it but not near awful. I would recommend taking the following link to the bluray review of this movie, at least for a small bit of humor, but also to give a better idea about the movie if needed. I would also suggest to read just between Dogtooth bluray review and Dogtooth bluray, video quality(from there on it's about the bluray disc). http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Dogtooth-Blu-ray/10452/#Review
