The Moth Diaries

D: An interesting title. Has nothing to do really with moths, or Mothman, or any type of moth for that matter. It's really about energy draining vampires and the crazy teenage girls who can sense them.
Young Rebecca goes to a fancy private school. There she and her friends are introduced to the new gal Ernessa. Slowly weird things begin to happen around Ernessa and only Rebecca seems to notice a connection. She suspects Ernessa to be a vampire, and feels she must stop her reign of vampire terror.
Its a good concept. You learn more about vampire lore. I myself wish to read the book Carmilla now (it was mentioned in the movie). But some things were not explained. Example, the moths. No reason for them to be there other than the fact that they are in the movie title. In any case, its not your usual vampire movie.  I mean there is blood and naughyness, but still. Final thought...not to bad, but not the greatest. Personally, if I suspected someone of being a bad vampire, I'd dial 800-Blade.

N: Not all is well at a young girls prep school. A new student emerges and a lingering feeling begins to surface. A feeling that this new student has a darker-secretive side to her. Only Rebecca is the only one that sees what really is going on, but in her attempt to seek out the truth; between the female seductions, strangely enough some of the students fall pray to this vampire-like energy sucker and as the death toll rises Rebecca must put a stop to these horrifying events.

6 Souls

N: We are introduced to a man that possess a rather horrifying traits. This man hides a dark and disturbing secrete. Ravished no doubt by six personalities; subdued in a mortal blood lust goes on a rampage. One woman Cara Harding played  by Julianne Moore is swept into this investigation and must solve this case.
Though I was intrigued, this flick took longer than inspected to explain everything and in truth really did not explain a lot. Hereafter I place this film into limbo.

D: Hey look! A new theory on why some people may have multiple personalities. Kind of creepy, but also kind of...eh.
A psychiatrist is introduced to a young man who seems to be suffering from having way to many people in one body. Turns out he is cursed and so is anyone who crosses his path who is faithless. Queue the dramatic music!
Another long one. While the concept is a good one, the deliverance is just to much. They take all this time to add drama and a bunch of other twists and turns, while failing to give explanations for certain events. You are left with more questions and wondering why this movie took so long to get to no where? Speaking of getting no where... how did I get here? Where am I? Why am I in bunny slippers and a fairy costume? I'm just crazy you say? Oh, well that explains it.

The Wicked


N: Folklore's. Legends. Wicked-nightmarish evil dwells in a house; casting and binding spells upon those that dare to venture through the thresholds of these decrepit grounds. Indeed, The Wicked walks the earth seeking young victims to orchestrate her feeding obsessions. Its difficult to explain the sudden fear that was felt while the drama uncoiled before me, but alas I was drawn into daydreams and doubt festered its graveness upon me. Thus, I prayed for this B rated horror flick to finally come to its horrid end.

D: Oh...my...pie! Can a movie be any longer? When you start getting restless you either look at your clock or say to the characters on screen, 'just kill 'em and get it over with'!
Well in this little slice we are introduced to the legend of The Wicked. The story of a witch who comes and takes children in order to live forever. Then we are introduced to a bunch of teenagers who can't take a hint that there maybe something behind the legend considering people who venture to the house that the witch supposedly resides in end up missing or dead. They don't of course, and end up having a very rough night.
Now I'm going to be short and quick about this one since the movie itself took forever and a day. Ok storyline, a lot of weird stuff without explanation, the jerk always gets killed first, and too long to get to the point! Get it? Got it? Done!

Beautiful Creatures

N: A young girl on the verge of inheriting dark powers returns to a small southern that still follows its close traditions. As the church going towns people seek to outcast the girl and continues to battle a family that nearly owns half the town the final countdown continues. In truth I thought the film was not half bad. Though at some parts became a little extra slow I still very much enjoyed the special effects and set designs. The climax of the movie will have you wanting to cast your own spells...

D: This may not be a horror story, but I guess since it has witches in it, it should be on our post....I mean Casters.
As my partner has said, its the story of a girl and boy who fall in love, girl turns out to be a Caster and on her 16th birthday she will either be a Caster for the good side or the dark side (that has cookies, ha!).
Not a bad film I must say. Good story, the effects were great. I liked the magic fight at the dinner table scene. I don't get the title but you know, it works I guess. All I know is if I had the magic powers that Lena, the main gal had...By the power of Grayskull!!

Paranormal Activity 4

D: Aaaarrggghh!!! Will this francise never end?? Ok, we have seen the other three Paranormal Activity's, but we decided to post a review on this one. If you have seen the other ones, you know what this whole movie series is all about.
Continuing from the second film, this one follows the story of a teenage chick named Alex and her family, who seem happy yet with issues. Anyways, her little brother Wyatt makes friends with their neighbors kid Robbie, whose mother is...you guessed it, Katie from the first movie. Well, after Robbie spends a few nights at Alex's house, weird things happen, yada yada ya. And again, we face a unhappy, none ending, ending.
For the love of pizza, just end it people! I'm sick of seeing great ghostly effects, moments that are scary without the loud music, and everything else being destroyed by a crappy none ending! That is this films major flaw. And it seems that the characters are getting dumber and dumber. 'Weird things are happening, better not do anything about it and just follow the odd noises'. If you like it, that's fine by me, you still rock. But I think that this movies series should just be about random paranormal experience's. That way, we got something fresh each time. Instead it seems, we just got more films and more unanswered questions that just keeps going. Other than that, I have no opinion.

N: Its a Fast and Furious race that ends with a sudden suicidal crash. Darn am I comparing Paranormal Activity to another movie? Well yes I am. Both movies I might add should have stopped long ago. Like the Saw Franchise as another example.
This ghostly-demonic flick might have had a few sudden twists and turns that got me to huddle under the blanket, but for the most part I just plain did not care. As D mentioned...as I say end this sheared of  continuous annoyance.

The Conjuring

D: Finally! After a bunch of zombie flicks (and a fixed car later), we are proud to bring you, fresh from the theater, drum roll please...The Conjuring! A ghost flick baby.
This juicy haunting is based off a true story. They are always fun. A family moves into, you guessed it, a haunted house. They enjoy it very briefly however as supernatural events start up. They then seek the help of noted demonologist Ed and Lorriane Warren (who are real people. Look them up its interesting), to assist them in getting rid of the nasty boogies.
Nice movie! Even though its based on a true story and you don't know how much of it is fabricated, you don't care. You only care about the story that is flashing on the screen. Especially the ghost parts. I would seriously recommend this and I tell you, you got to watch it on the big screen. Don't wait for it to come out on DVD or Blue ray or what ever.  Just go and see it. You will not be disappointed. I know I had learned a valuable lesson from this movie...check the history of the house before you buy it! What's that? This place might be haunted by a angry spirit? Watch as I turn and run!

N: An old tale is conjured up in yet another most thrilling-bone chilling horror flick to come to a theater near you. Possession in the form of supernatural expressions explores the house, burning its malevolent hatred into any soul that dwells within as a most heart stopping story is unveiled. Proceed with caution as you enter this wicked house. Beware of the ghosts that wonder the hallways late at night. The family that lives here in this country house; victims they are as something from the past still remains and wants nothing more than to murder this family.

A Little Bit Zombie

D: What the cuss is up with all these zombie movies that we have been watching? Oh well, who doesn't love a good brain buffet huh? Especially with this little slice of 'what the blood bath'?
In this little comedy, a soon to be bride and groom along with their matron of honor and best man are out to the family cabin for some fun when out of no where the groom suffers from a sudden craving for brains, yet somehow finds a way to resist it. If that wasn't enough, a crazed zombie hunter and his brainy sidekick are looking for him.
This movie was...wow. I mean, when it first started I wasn't sure if I was given some weird drug or if I had finally jumped off the crazy cliff into the ocean of insanity. Its one of those lesser known funny horror movies that you find at random. The acting was great, the plot good, and even though it looked like it was done for penny's on the dollar, all in all, it wasn't horrible. I'm not sure if I would go out and buy it, but its a good movie to start your weekend. After a long day, sit down on the couch, cuddle up with your pet bunny, with a nice bowl of brains. Suddenly, I'm feeling a little hungry....

N:A little more Zombie please! For another zombie flick I was hoping to see more outpouring of brain eating zombies, but I guess that's ok. In retrospect this flick was full of not only some comedy, but another take on the whole zombie idea. Perhaps next time I'll be served a side of brains. Boy am I hungry.

Zombie Land

N: Blast your way into Zombie Land with your double barrel shotgun and double tap these bastards. But first some important rules must be followed to survive the infestation of the undead. What are these rules? Well the only way to find out is to tune into this flick. Sorry, wish I could say.
   Overall this was a smash and grab movie. The opening credits enthralled me as Rob Zombie blasted into my mind. It was fantastic and the dynamics between the characters lured me into the Zombie Land world full of mayhem and blood filled nourishment . I'm Portland Oregon shouting out to Zombie Land and sighing off.
D: Screw Disney Land! I wanna go to Zombie Land! The zombies may run, but if I just get creative like Tallahassee I will be unstoppable!
Yes, the world has gone down the zombie toilet and loner, Columbus, teams up with zombie killer Tallahassee to make it through. And a zombie movie is not complete unless you got two street smart, gun slinging sisters.
Oh the epic awesomeness! Not only does this movie have unstoppable action, but its so finger licking funny it hurts. You got two butt kicking sisters, a socially awkward young man who is afraid of everything, and Tallahassee! If there was ever a zombie killing mentor, it would be Tallahassee. I don't recommend this movie, I insist that you watch it. Oh Tallahassee you insane bastard, teach me the ways of crazed zombie hunting.
