Review: "The Blob" (1988)- written October 13, 2011

One thing I can say for sure about this movie is that is is much more entertaining than the original 1958 one, though less realistic. Thing is, this remake acts somewhat like a sequel to the original. I didn't like a feature added to the blob which were the tentacles that made it less of a blob. Though it was pretty good to see another movie with Shawnee Smith in it. Overall, I liked it.Pretty good movie, horrible review.

Review: "The Woman"(2011)- written October 10, 2011

Um..so, The Woman. Not the movie I thought it would be. I can't say it's great but it definitely is interesting and strange. Not a feel good movie, bloody and a bit of a "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" sort of feel to it. The events leading up to the end add a bunch of tension and shock that Change the movie. It isn't an entertaining, awesome horror movie, but rather a creepy, thought disturbing one. It wasn't really fun to watch, but the ending was good.

Review: "The Blair Witch Project" (1999)- writen September 30, 2011

Over the years as a horror film fan and not, I have always heard of this 'Classic'. It is a movie so well known that hearing about it is eventually going to happen. I've only heard great things about this movie, and now I finally got to see it. I didn't like it, I felt like it wasted time. There is little excitement and when there is it soon followed by a legnthly day scene, afterwards a creepy(ish)night scene that is very short. This sequence is repeated several times and does not make it fun to watch. The day scenes are usually fights and more fights between the three main characters. It simply drags on too long with little moments of intrigue in between. Then there is the ending. An ending that ends in confusion. I don't know what happened, I don't know what will happen. It ends with you wondering why you watched the film up 'til this point. There is nothing. Complete dissatisfaction, not a movie for my taste.

Review: "Dog Soldiers" (2002)- written September 26, 2011

Now, I can say that for the first half hour or so that I didn't think much of the movie. I was set up for disappointment. However, I ended up quite liking the movie. I admit, I do like it better than I will review it. The story was actually pretty decent, more so after the first bit. You can probably guess what's coming, as always in these kind of movies. It does have some humor in it, including a great joke in a time not really for laughter. The gore was surprisingly..visceral and strong in some places. You do see an animal that most people like get killed early on but you don't need to worry when you see the second one. Swearing is abundant, a lot of it Scottish/English terms. "Dog Soldiers" is a pretty good 'bad movie', but in my mind it's a great 'bad movie'.

Review: "Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Phantosaur" (2011)- written September 8, 2011

Now I suppose it is strange to be writting a review of a childrens movie on this blog but I Love Scooby-Doo, but really, I watched it and it was the best Scooby-Doo movie since (for me personally) the Cyber Chase. The animation is beautiful and the jokes were so funny it had me laughing. For a Scooby-Doo veteran like myself, it wasn't hard at all to 'figure out the mystery' and who was behind it but that was no deterent for how good a movie it was. New, fresh, and surprisingly good, I recommend giving it a watch.

Review: "Grave Encounters" (2011)- written September 8, 2011

So, "Grave Encounters" is a pretty good movie. This group of people are making a tv show called Grave Encounters, a really, extremely, cheesy, I'm not gonna watch this, sort of show. Now this is one of those movies that claims to be 100% real and has no special effects. There is even an introduction by a producer saying this. There is a lot of set up of the show they are making which takes up the first chunk of the movie, but the pace quickens once they get locked inside the haunted building. Now this movie is just a great scary movie. Reminding me of Paranormal activity, only kind of better. Horror and tension is maintained throughout once things pick up(and hair). It is a terrific movie, fair to say that it does have disturbing content. Along this frightening journey with the television crew, you will experience fear just like they do.

Review: "Final Destination 5" (2011)- written August 16, 2011

Well, it definitely is a good movie. The gore is as disturbing as ever if not more disturbing. The 3D is quite good in my opinion and it is recommended over 2D. It is hard for me to pick favourites with the Final Destination movies but I would have to put this one up there. The story is very good and fresh, adding something new to the franchise. The fact that the ones destined to die can kill another person to gain the years of life they have left. This works well into the story. From the trailers, it appears that our friend the coroner has a bigger role than in previous movies. He is in more scenes but his role hasn't really changed. Also, the opening titles were probably the best in the franchises history. It was also nice to see Emma Bell from "Frozen" in this movie. So see it if you like the Final Destination series, have fun, and do not bring your girlfriend. She will hate you.
