The Jacket

N: As you plead for mercy. As you beg on your knees for your  torment to stop,  you soon realize that until you are dead your nightmarish prison shall continue to strangle your soul until you have become nothing more than an empty shell. All you can do is surrender to the men that keep you chained against your will. After a while the jacket that is strapped around your body to keep your fits of range under control becomes a safe haven. Though the darkness that bleeds over you ensnares your mind for hours on end nothing will bring you comfort. Until you are unbound, your hellish tomb will destroy your reality. Its a cold hard reality at that and if you are going to watch this flick then please bring your own jacket. A little warmth just might give off enough comfort from the shocking horror that shall be unleashed.

Tales from the Darkside: The Movie

D: Ok kids, time for a blast from the past. Does anyone remember this one? Straight from 1990, Tales from the Darkside movie.
It starts out with a seemingly sweet woman who turns out to be a witch getting ready to cook her young victim; a young Matthew Lawrence. To delay her, he begins to read her stories from a book she gave to him. The first one about a young college student who takes his revenge with the help of a old mummy. The second, about a old man who wants a evil cat dead. And the other about a man who witnesses a gruesome murder by a gargoyle like creature and sworn to secrecy.
All cheesy, all not scary, all awesome. I don't know, maybe its the memories of watching this in my early years on this earth that make me love it or what. But all I know is that if you want a movie with actors in their youth such as Christian Slater or even Steve Buscemi this would give you just that. And if you want to see what they did before all this computer stuff for special effects. Yes, this will do quite nicely. And its great for a nice quiet night of sitting in front of the couch with a blanket, soda, and a treat. Good cheesy fun, with a happy ending.

REC 3 Genesis

D: Alright, you know how in that Bridzilla show you got these crazy broads that go insane and scream 'its my day! If anyone ruins it I'll kill them'!! Well ladies, ya'll will think that you had a great wedding compared to what happens in this movie.
The third installment of the awesome spanish movie REC; REC Genesis shows us another area that was infected by the evil possession virus. If you've seen the first two, you know what I'm talking about.
First we see the movie through the traditional way it has been filmed. The magic of mockumetary. Then after chaos ensues, we go to the old traditional film route. Anyways, the bride and groom are separated in the chaos that has taken over their reception. Running from their now rabid guest and watching the others get brutalized, the bride and groom's only goal is to get back to each other and survive.
Fans of this movie line and zombie flicks, will love this. It's a different approach to the whole zombie like virus and adding a more demonic turn to it. I highly recommend it. In fact, if you haven't seen the first two REC movies, SEE THEM! They are epic. And this is a nice addition. Plus, guys who's gal went crazy on their whole wedding plans and such. Look at the bright side...at least she didn't go ballistic and attack her guest with a chainsaw. Then again her guest were not evil zombie demons trying to kill her..or were they?

Silent Hill Revelation 3D


D: Ok kids, get ready for a flick of ultimate disappointment. The sequel we Silent Hill movie fans (and the game) have been waiting for has been high jacked by Hollywood and left for dead. Lets start at the beginning.
Silent Hill Revelation is the continuing story from the last movie, based on the epic video game of the same name. Mr. DeSilva, who has changed his name to Harry Mason and his daughter Heather...ya know what, if you played the third installment of the Silent Hill game you got what the movie is like and even the plot. In fact I'm going straight to my rant.
They ruined it!! If I wanted to see something almost exact to Silent Hill 3, I would just play the game! But nooo, that's just what I paid to watch. And enough with the 3D crap. Its not a new idea and its just a lame excuse to charge us more. Also, bringing in some of the characters from the first movie doesn't completely tie everything together nor does it make sense if they have a meager role.
Conclusion; what made the first one awesome was that it was BASED on the game. It had the feel, the look, even some familar monsters as well as characters. But it had its own story, its own place. The second one WAS the game tied into the first movie with scotch tape. If you still want to see it, be my guest. If you like it and are into the 3D thing, good for you, to each their own. As for me, EPIC FAIL!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to console Pyramid Head. Even he can't believe he was part of this. Its ok big guy. Your still number one in my book.

Monster House

N: Be forewarned that if you dare to enter this house that you will experience a grave encounter. An encounter with a unrestful soul that has become vengeful against children that tread on the property. And likewise a crooked old man that wanders the grounds protecting this house from trespassers. So I dare you to cross the threshold and open a door into a spooky haunted house and be guided by a small band of children that are racing against time to discover the true reasons behind this monster house. Though it is filled with scary situations the characters remind me of how I was when I was a child-eager to go trick-or-treating and seeking out ways to get myself into trouble on all hollows eve. this is defiantly a movie for all ages.
