Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000)

The Most Underrated Horror Movie of all Time

[8/10 · 3 October 2020]

Okay...I get that people didn't like this movie when it came out, but the IMDB rating to this is way lower than it should be. I think why people don't like it is because it was a huge step away from the first film and that it wasn't a found film footage. I don't even know where else they could have gone with it that would have been praised by the fans.

What we have here is a completely underrated movie. I get that people didn't understand it, that it's confusing, but I think that was the point. The filmmakers wanted to you to feel like the main cast. Another great thing is that it MESSES with your mind in ways that few movies can. To top it off the score to this movie is atmospheric nightmare-ish that really brings out the creepy factor in this film.

Just go in with an open mind. Don't think about it being a Blair Witch sequel, think of it as a mind bender. It leaves you with questions, and people don't like that, but that just means you can have your own theory as to what happened. Very few movies allow this, and the few movies that do don't do it as well as this one.

I love this movie and I hope one day they will release it on Blu-Ray.

Power Rangers (2017)

Nostalgia at it's Best

[6/10 · 9 September 2020]

Back when the original Power Rangers was on television I was glued to the TV and was entranced by the entire show. Of course as I have grown much older and going back to visit the original Power Rangers has sort of the opposite effect. I knew it was cheesy and fun as a kid, but as an adult I cringe but have fond memories.

When I heard they were rebooting Power Rangers I wasn't really nervous about it. I figured it would be a cheesy fun reboot, instead what I got was nostalgia at its best. They took what was kind of a goofy premise into something really big, giving it a much better story line and in a lot of ways made it way more adult than it used to be. The characters have depth, but a few of them lack the things that makes me care. I liked what the did to Rita Repulsa, Elizabeth Banks was a lot better than I could have imagined. Bryan Cranston did an excellent job as Zordon. Alpha 5 was a bit of disappointment, but not as bad as I thought it would be.

The one thing that had me cringe, yet smile about was the brief moment when the original Power Rangers theme played. Of course and for those of us 90s kids, if you look closely you can catch the original Pink Ranger and Green Ranger briefly, I had to rewind it just to enjoy it again.

All in all this film was pretty good and I look forward to any more of the new Power Rangers.

Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell (2001 Video)

Better than the previous sequel

[6/10 · 25 August 2020]

I was a huge fan of the original film and have just bought the Wishmaster Collection on Blu-Ray and just getting to watch all the sequels for the first time. I did not care for Wishmaster 2, even though it has a much higher rating than this one.

However, this film in question was actually quite a shock for me. I didn't expect to like it all, but I did interestingly. Unfortunately, Andrew Divoff does not return as the Djinn, and his replacement John Novak does not hold a candle to him, but still surprisingly does a pretty good job in my eyes. It is very interesting to see Jason Connery, Sean Connery's son, in such a movie and he too does very well.

The story gets a little different than the previous films, but I think that was a good thing. I mean how many more iterations can you do until you're just repeating. I quite enjoyed the new twist on the series, it really livens things up. It does kind of resemble a teen horror film, like Scream and Urban Legends, but since I am a fan of those films and genre's I think that was what made this film likeable for me.

I am a huge fan of B-Horror movies and can appreciate the corniness, unlike I lot of other people out there. I do recommend this film to anyone who loves these types of films and I know I will be re-visiting it in the near future.

Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999 Video)

I Wish...for a better sequel...

[3/10 · 25 August 2020]

I am someone who loves horror films, especially corny horror films such as Leprechaun and the Critters films. Being a huge fan of the first film, and buying the collection on Blu-Ray recently, I was excited about seeing the other films, bad or not I was ready to be entertained. Of course I had seen the rating on IMDB at 5.1, not a bad rating for a straight to video sequel. Maybe that was my problem, I went in with high hopes and walked away with nothing. The story line is pretty decent, not really sure if it follows the first movie or if it's a stand alone sequel like Leprechaun 2. The acting wasn't great, but I didn't expect Academy Award winning. The first problem I noticed in this film was very early on when we are introduced to the Wishmaster played by the great Andrew Divoff...well not so great in this one. For some reason this version of Wishamaster didn't sound like he did in the first one, it didn't have that creepy quality. I didn't mind that the Wishmaster looked a little different, still keeping in line with the first film.

The kills this time around, albeit corny, as not really that interesting. The special effects looked childish, especially in the casino scene towards the end. There is not much to say about this film. I didn't enjoy it anywhere near as much as I did the first, but I don't regret watching it and I'm sure someday down the road I will watch it again...just not any time soon.

Wishmaster (1997)

Another Great B-Horror Film

[8/10 · 24 August 2020]

For those of you out there who love B-Horror movies then Wishmaster is for you. It was made in the late 90s but has an 80s feel to it when it comes to story and gore. The story is simple. A Djinn is brought back to our world and needs to fulfill the wishes of the one who woke him, which happens to be Tammy Lauren. Each of these wishes fulfilled come with a price, some of it a little corny but others are very gorey and fun to watch. The beginning scene with the Persian party has always stuck with me since I had first seen this in theaters. It was scary but kept me entranced.

Aside from the interesting story this film is filled with a great Horror icons such as Robert Englund, Kane Hodder and Tony Todd, just to name a few. It is also executive produced by the amazing Wes Craven.

In a lot of ways this film kind of reminds me of Leprechaun, without the corny-ness and way more gore, but it's definitely in the same genre.

Andrew Divoff is an amazing actor and brings a whole new level to horror with his Wishmaster.

Definitely one of my favorites and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes horror films, lots of gore, and plenty of nostalgia.

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (2015)

A New Take

[7/10 · 11 January 2020]

I know this film was hated and I can see why. It deviated from what the original films did and went into its own direction, but I personally think that was a good thing. I won't go spoiling the movie or say too much except this film is creepy on many levels. I will say that it does show us a lot more than it should have, I do like the term less is good, but what they do show is scary and keeps you wanting more.

There's not much else I can say that I haven't already said on my reviews for the previous films. This one has a lot more special effects, new characters and an interesting new direction that you're either gonna like or hate. I personally really enjoyed this film. The first time I watched it I gave it a 4, but after rewatching it years later I enjoyed it way more than I did before. Not sure if that's because I originally watched the theatrical version and having just now finished the extended edition. Regardless I enjoyed this film and will be exploring it again sometime in the future.

Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014)

A Rise Above the 4th

[6/10 · 10 January 2020]

I really enjoyed this film, not as much as the first three of the series, but this one has a sort of real charm to it. We are out of the rich neighborhoods to an actual normal family who finds themselves in a terrifying adventure.

Because the characters were normal I could relate to them. I have known people like these characters, the charm, the humor, etc. I just felt at home with this film.

Once the paranormal activity happens it's pretty interesting but it seems to be pretty much the same things we have already seen. There was a few jump scares that got me, a few creepy moments that made me look around in my own dark room. We are given a little more answers than the previous films, however these answers just provide more questions, which can work if it hasn't been done four times already.

I did enjoy the atmosphere of this film a lot better than the others, even though I would say it's not as good as the first three, it is definitely a step up in this new trilogy so to speak. I am a fan of B movies and sometimes bad movies in general because they can be fun. I know a lot of people didn't enjoy this film and I can see why, but I did enjoy this film a lot and I like the new direction and how I could relate to these characters. So like the previous one, you're either gonna like it or hate it, but that's up to you to find out. For me, I liked it but I didn't love it.

Paranormal Activity 4 (2012)

Doesn't Add Much

[5/10 · 10 January 2020]

This is what happens in these horror franchises. It always starts good, continues for a few films and keeps the momentum, if not by much, and then we arrive at the fall of the films, or as I call them "cashgrabs".

Now this film isn't terrible, but it's certainly not that great. Unlike the previous films it didn't really creep me out, it just makes you jump with a lot of jump scares which are way overused in this film.

To be the true sequel to the original film it doesn't add to much and still leaves you with a lot of questions than answers. What it does add is nice, but nothing that really wows you. There's not too much to really say about this film and that's one of the many problems. You're either gonna hate it or like it, but I seriously doubt very many people are gonna "love" it.

Resident Evil 2 (2019 Video Game)

Hands Down The Best Resident Evil Game!!!

[10/10 · 29 December 2019]

I literally just finished this game on PS4 and all I can say is...WOW what a rush!!!

It is absolutely amazing to get back into Racoon City, this time is GREAT acting and an even more engrossing storyline. As of right now I have only done the Leon story and will get onto Claire's sometime down the road.

The gameplay is exciting and easy to get used too. The graphics are amazing, although some things seem to have a weird shiny wet look to them, but aside from that it's very realistic. The zombies are terrifying and I would be lying if I said I didn't scream in fright a few times as they literally popped out of nowhere. Also Tyrant chasing you down from room to room is one of the scariest most intense moments I have ever had in a video game. I found myself trying to work around him to solve a puzzle or two and as frustrating as it was, it was a great rush at the same time.

Some of the enemies are hard to dodge, at least they were for me but then again it was my first time playing this through so that could be why. Of course like any Survival Horror game it had its frustrating moments,but that's something most gamers are used to by this point.

The puzzles in this game are a bit easier than the original version, still seeming out of place in such a storyline but that's just my opinion.

The only problem I had with it was that it had such a brief ending. I don't know if there is an extended ending once you do the Claire game on the same save or not, but I felt the ending to be a little bit out of place and rushed compared to the rest of the cinematics throughout the game.

Other than that, this is an amazing game and I highly recommend all RE fans to turn the lights off, turn of the volume and prepare for an amazingly scary game.

Resident Evil HD Remaster (2015 Video Game)

A Great Remake!!!

[8/10 · 27 December 2019]

Games get it right when it comes to remakes (or at least most of them do). Hollywood could use a few lessons when it comes to video games in many ways.

While the original 1996 version was an amazing game, and my first foray into the Survival Horror Genre, this game is far superior in many ways. The graphics are much better, and still hold up to this day considering this is a 2002 Gamecube Port. Of course graphics have gotten a lot better than this since, but unlike the original it does hold up greatly. The gameplay is a lot better than the original, and just as frustrating but in that good kind of way if you know what I mean.

The story is expanded upon and more things are added it while keeping most of the original work, although it does change up quite a few things which is nice because you expect something to happen because it did in the original game but instead something entirely different takes place, keeping it new and fresh for us longtime fans.

The soundtrack is amazing from music to ambience. There's nothing like running down a dark hallway after being scared out of your mind from a zombie to jumping at the sound of thunder in the distance. There are a few new enemies to contend with, as well as all the original ones. The Crimson Heads are quite intense, which reminds me make sure to burn all the zombie corpses in places that you will frequent often (you can thank me later).

The game still has that B Horror quality about it, but sadly the original did a much better job in that department. While this one still has that feel, the acting isn't as bad which is what made the original so loveable. Now don't get me wrong the acting in this game isn't Academy Award Winning and at many times is pretty bad, it just doesn't have that original feel.

All in all this was a great experience and it was fun to jump back into the world that opened my eyes to horror gaming. If you're fan of the original or a newcomer this is an amazing game for you to explore. However, I do recommend playing the original (if you haven't already). I will be playing this game again very soon. I have only done the Jill storyline, but I am sure the Chris story is just as engaging.

I played this on the PS4.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (2019 Video Game)

The Best Star Wars Game So Far...

[8/10 · 25 December 2019]

PS4 Version...

I was really looking forward to this game and I was surprised how much it reminded me of why I was a fan of the entire series. Prior to this game I had enjoyed the Force Unleashed games on the PS3, and the original Star Wars games on SNES, neither of which made me feel like a Jedi as this one did.

As great as this game was, there were some things I had issues with. For instance, the platforming. I understand that it's a necessity when it comes to Star Wars games, but it would be nice if this had just been a hack and slash with a few platforming moments. Some of the platforming just seemed very frustrating, one in particular is where you have to run and jump on several walls while on Kashyyk, which took me around 20 times and even then just by the skin of my teeth. Another problem I had with the game was that it was trying to be Uncharted in space, which at first seemed really awesome but then it seemed it was trying too hard. I do like the fact if you miss a jump you pretty much start over right then and there, unlike when you die and have to wait forever for the game to "respawn" you. With all of these negative things I was having anxiety the whole time playing this game, which I could have done without to be honest.

Now on to the good.

The story is absolutely amazing! It is true when they say that this is the Rogue One of the video games. I actually enjoyed Rogue One, almost better than Episode 7and 8. The story is enthralling and keeps you on the edge of your seat. There are twists and turns that I will not spoil here of course. The acting is superb as well, it really felt like I was watching a movie. Plus, BD-1 is probably the cutest and best droid in all of Star Wars (yes I mean that). I want a BD-1 so bad it isn't even funny. The character Greez is another newcomer that I quite enjoyed, he's definitely the comic relief but not in an excessive kind of way like others you may see throughout the series. You will also meet some familiar faces along the way, but again I won't be spoiling anything here so you'll just have to find out for yourself.

The atmosphere, the acting, the graphics, the sound effects and the music really work well to make you feel like you are not just watching a Star Wars film, but experiencing it in a way you never thought possible. I highly recommend this game for all fans of Star Wars, you will not be disappointed. Even with some of its flaws I did have fun and will be replaying it soon enough!

The Blair Witch Project (1999)

A Groundbreaking Psychological Horror Film

[9/10 · 18 October 2019]

This is hands down one of my favorite horror films of all time. I know there are a lot of people out there, especially the younger crowd, who don't like this film. Honestly, I think it's because they weren't there. They didn't experience it like those of my age. Like many people I believed this film was real. The way it was marketed gave it a sort of realism that no movie had ever done or has done sense. No one can capture the sort of realism that Blair Witch did. The creators took good care of their story, created an entire lore, bigger than the film itself and gives it a life of its own. There is and probably never will be a film like this. It's disturbing, it's creepy, and it stays with you, especially those of us who were there when it all began.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018–2020)

Season One Review

[7/10 · 22 November 2018]

First and foremost I must come forward saying that as of this review I have not watched the original TV show. I grew up in the 80s, born into a conservative Christian home as a preachers kid. I was not allowed to watch He-Man, but I was allowed to watch Thundercats. Explain that one to me.

So without watching the original series, or knowing anything about the universe as a whole, just take my review as a "noob" to this new series.

I watched the whole season in one day and was pretty enthralled from the beginning. It does have corny and campy moments, think Pokemon, and the story is not in depth, nor does it take itself to seriously, but it tries. Aside from that, it is a pretty good show and keeps you entertained throughout.

One of the best things about the show, at least as a gay man, it is very LGBTQ friendly. I also like the powerful femininity that is quite prevalent. Even though a lot of the female characters are princesses, they are strong and fight for what they believe in, which I think is an important lesson for children, both girls and boys.

It's definitely a kids show, but it is a great one. The animation is very anime, beautiful colors and interesting magic and battles.

I highly recommend this to not only children, but adults who like this type of campy animation. I wouldn't say it's brilliant, but it has great potential to become it. I look forward to future episodes!

Game Change (2012 TV Movie)

Julianne Moore is Amazing!!!

[10/10 · 17 August 2015]

From the moment I first saw this movie, back when it aired on HBO, I have hailed this as one of the greatest TV movies of all time.

Following the campaign trail of John McCain and his crazy running mate Sarah Palin, we are introduced to behind the scenes and it is done remarkably well. Say what you want about the real Palin but this film portrays a pretty accurate film, according to sources.

It doesn't bad mouth her per se, it's showing more about how ignorant she was and how she didn't seem to know anything about politics. You may be saying, "Well, then you're a liberal!" and you would be right but this isn't why I liked this film. I liked this film because the writing was spectacular, the acting was so superb that there were times I forgot I was watching Julianne Moore and not the real Palin.

Of course this is my opinion about it so check it out for yourself. I think whether Republican or Democrat the film will be well liked around.

Shadow People (II) (2013)

Could Have Been Good

[4/10 · 7 August 2015]

I have heard the scary stories of shadow people for quite a while now, so when I saw this movie I was very excited to delve right in. Unfortunately, I pretty disappointed.

The film started out pretty well, giving us little glimpses of what was to come. However, the outcome wasn't presented well. The scares are far and few in between and only one is memorable.

The writing and directing was good, even with the hidden messages throughout the film (the main reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 3). The acting, not so much. Sometimes it felt rehearsed and even in a few moments it was overacted, and to me this was a problem with the film. There were some interesting moments, but not enough to really keep my attention.

My biggest problem with this film was a plot hole, and a pretty obvious one. I clicked on the "Contains Spoilers" box just in case, but I don't want to reveal anything if I can help it. All I will say is that the plot hole is with the film that they find, and the theory the doctor gives and how that it doesn't fit. To me that was the biggest downfall of this film.

I didn't really enjoy it and probably wouldn't recommend it either.

Always Watching: A Marble Hornets Story (2015)

Yet Another Found Film Footage With Nothing New

[4/10 · 7 August 2015]

The title of the review speaks for itself.

At this point the Found Film Footage genre is getting tired and old, only because these writers and directors aren't giving us anything we haven't seen already. They think that with the same scares, same annoying actors and same shaky camera with a whole new entity or monster will be a good idea. Wrong.

There was nothing interesting about this film, except they thought it was a good idea. The special effects seem cheesy, but something tells me that's what they were going for, but it didn't work even if that were the case. Once again the characters were unlikable and that seems to be a recurring theme since The Blair Witch Project.

You would think that a movie based upon the most popular creepypasta, Slenderman, would be a good thing. Unfortunately, you would be wrong.

The film seems it would be good to those of a younger age, which this film is not targeted with, with it's R rating. The film could have easily been a PG-13. It might be good for a watch if your high, but I wouldn't recommend it regardless.

Clown (2014)

A Unique Killer Clown

[5/10 · 7 August 2015]

When I first saw the trailer it interested me, but didn't clue me in on what a great story this film actually has. As far as I know, this is a film with an original story. I won't ruin anything of course, it's better to find out for yourself.

One of the best parts about this film is that there is no slow beginning, or slow anything to be honest, it starts pretty much as soon as you begin watching it. As the film progresses the story line begins to unfold, presenting a new tale unlike anything I have ever seen. I was fascinated by it and was enjoying a lot of what I was seeing.

It had it's cliché moments, which everyone expects in a horror film so it's not a bad thing, however it doesn't offer anything new except a great story line. Sometimes it felt a little cheesy, but only close to the beginning. There were several scenes that made me uncomfortable, but I was never disturbed or scared unfortunately.

It is a one-of-a-kind film and I highly recommend it to anyone. It is mediocre, only in the way that it doesn't offer anything new in the horror field. Typical gore, violence and mild humor. I would have given it a six if it wasn't for that reason. All in all it's a pretty good film.

Lake Mungo (2008)

An Interesting Take on Mockumentaries

[5/10 · 7 August 2015]

I have been seeing this film on IMDb for quite sometime, but have shied away from it because it seemed more dramatic than scary and I just wanted a creepy film. After watching the trailer I knew I had to see this.

The film is very much a dramatic horror and is presented in documentary style, unlike a found film footage (although it presents a little bit of that genre in some ways).

As you watch this film you may become a bit bored in the beginning, it's very plot driven and doesn't have a whole lot of scares, but trust me stick with it. It does have its scary moments and leads up to a pretty cool plot twist, but don't worry I won't spoil anything for you.

The only problem with this film is the lack of scares, it is more dramatic than anything. However, when the scares come they are pretty good, but don't expect normal horror movie scares. The scares here play more on your mind than anything. It really is like watching a Paranormal Documentary on Youtube, but that doesn't make it bad. Of course it doesn't make it great either. With a 5 out of 10 rating, I consider this to be mediocre but I did enjoy it and I think it's at least worth one watch.

Unfriended (2014)

Pretty Good but not Great

[6/10 · 6 August 2015]

This movie takes place on a computer screen the entire time, apparently this is becoming a thing. It's not a bad thing, but it's not a good thing either. Most people spend a lot of time in front of their computers or phones, so when we go see a movie we expect to see an actual film.

With that annoyance to the side, the film itself is actually worth a watch. It was pretty intense, gets you on the edge of your seat and keeps you thrilled. It shows the dark side of cyber bullying and with good reason. This film is reminiscent of stories on the news, aside from the horror plot, and does deliver a message that in itself is important. However, the important message wasn't delivered properly and pretty much either sets itself up for a sequel, or brilliantly shows a hard reality a lot of us refuse to admit.

Like Blair Witch, the entire cast is annoying. I didn't find myself liking or even caring for any of the characters, which is always a downfall in a horror film. However, I did like the film and at several times I felt uncomfortable and disturbed having put myself in their shoes wondering how I would feel in that situation.

It's hard writing this review because I don't want to spoil anything for people interested in this film. I can say, that in the genre of found film footage (even though this branches off into it's own genre), it doesn't really offer anything you haven't seen before. With that said, it's a pretty decent film and does thrill you. Like the title says, "Pretty Good but not Great".

Digging Up the Marrow (2014)

Awesome Idea...Not a Great Deliver

[5/10 · 6 August 2015]

This is a film I have been wanting to see for a while now. I hadn't even seen a trailer, just read the story line and it sounded amazing. When I finally found it, I was excited and even watched the trailer just to make sure it was going to be worth watching. The trailer was awesome and I was ready to dive right in.

Unfortunately, everything in the trailer is pretty much all the great moments in this movie.

With such an awesome story idea I was greatly disappointed that the deliver wasn't as good. In fact, the film relied to heavy on plot and story line that I think it forgot it was a horror film. In fact the music used in the movie was cheesy and reminded me of a romantic comedy score.

The biggest problem with this film is the Director/Writer Adam Green, not that he didn't write or direct a good film, it was that he starred in it and was the most obnoxious character I have seen on film in the past ten years (and that includes ALL of Will Farrell's films in the last ten years).

I really felt that Adam Green had such a great idea, something unique even though the story line itself is not all that original, but the idea was wasted. Throughout the whole film I kept thinking that this was nothing more than a huge advertisement for his other films, especially his TV show on FearNet which was said about a thousand times in this film.

I won't say it's a complete waste of time, in fact when the scary moments happen, and they are far and few in between, it was interesting and fun to watch. The rest of it however, was annoying and boring. Such a wasted opportunity.

I would like to a sequel, something that would follow the horror aspect of the story line a lot more. There is just so much more this film could have given us and instead wasted the whole time promoting his other movies. The ending left me wanting more and not in a good way.

Explorers (1985)

Vintage Kids Science Fiction

[7/10 · 7 January 2015]

This is by no means the best kids film of the 80s, but it is in the top 10 on my list.

The story follows three boys who through a dream build a new program that creates a corporeal sphere that takes them and their newly built spaceship out of junkyard pieces into the far reaches of space.

It's definitely a kids film, but also a good film altogether for people who like this sort of genre. The film in my eyes starts out pretty good then sort of drifts away when you get to see the creature in the film, which was a little corny in my eyes, but hey it's 80s.

If your looking for some vintage kid movies to watch from the 80s then this is a pretty good choice to make.

Cabin Fever: Patient Zero (2014)

A Little Too Much...

[3/10 · 4 November 2014]

The first Cabin Fever was pretty good.

The second, not so much. In fact I don't even remember the second one that much except that it was horrible. However what the second film lacked, this new one brings back.

I will say that this film brought back the disturbing horror feel the first one had, just that it did it in so many wrong ways. The gory fight scene, something you wont quite forget, was a little too way off the top.

The story line was a little confusing. It sort of reminded me of something from Resident Evil.

There is not a lot of good things I can say about this film. I guess its worth a watch if your bored, but its not something you should go out of your way to see. That's just my opinion.

The Sacrament (2013)

Cult Status?

[6/10 · 2 November 2014]

When it comes to the new sub-genre, found film footage's this one does what a lot of them don't do. It takes us into a remote location where we see a fictional crazy Christian cult. One of the character's sister is involved in the cult, which is what brings our protagonists to their current location.

At first everything seems great, the people are happy but there is somehow a darkness you can't quite put your finger on. Producer Eli Roth is very good at doing this when it comes to his films, but so does a little corniness, but thankfully he's not the director so his corniness is not seen in this film.

But with his name being attached you do sort of hope to see a lot of violence and gore, something this film was lacking. It was sort of a more realistic view on cults, nothing like we saw in Kevin Smith's Red State. This is one is a little bit more subtle, but that's what makes it way more disturbing in my eyes. The final scenes are very intense in what kept me at the edge of my seat. The ending isn't what you normally get in these types of films and that is always refreshing.

As of this review this film is currently on Netflix and I highly recommend it to those who want to watch something scary and something a little different in terms of horror.

The Babadook (2014)

Babadook is...interesting

[6/10 · 2 November 2014]

First and foremost I wanna get this out there, this is pretty much a very annoying movie in a lot of ways. You have a child who is portraying ADHD perfectly and it's quite sad the mother doesn't try and get him help, so instead I like closing my ears through the first 45 minutes at least. Oh and nothing too creepy is happening, so it's getting very Baba-boring.

But then stuff does start to happen. It starts out with the Babadook's creepy knock, then a phone call...and that's all I'm giving you. The film takes a turn for the worse, which makes it become pretty damn good and scary.

I didn't jump, or get too scared, but it did have a creepy like feel to it. The ending scenes are bit European, but that's what gives it an almost realistic feel. The ending was a bit off, but other than that this is a pretty decent horror film.

The Devil's Rejects (2005)

One of those Better than the Originals!!!

[8/10 · 27 October 2014]

The Devil's Rejects is one of those rare sequels that is better than the first in more ways than one. The first film was pretty much a new take on Texas Chainsaw Massacre type horror film. The second one reminds me of what Quentin Tarantino would have done with it.

It has action and bloody gory violence and it is here that it is very Tarantino like. The music also gives off that Kill Bill style. The only thing it really lacked was the horror part that was in the first film, even though it is better than the first film it still had more of a torture porn genre than anything.

It is a very disturbing film in many ways and if that's the kind of film you like then this film is definitely should be on your next rent or buy list.
