Gothic

N: True ghost stories arise from the seething palpitations of imaginations that brew a intoxifying tonic. Thus, in the course of this flick a group of aristocrats over embellish themselves with a night of phantasms and sexual debauchery. Monsters lurk in the dark corners, haunting those that dwell in the madness; possessed by the alluring storms that not only wage outside but nonetheless wage within the soul.

D: Wow...I feel that I just went on some weird acid trip through time and ended up in some rich guys estate where they are having just as hard of time as I am.
This is the tale that basically gives us an inside view as to how the author Mary Shelly, became inspired to write her book, Frankenstein.
It, was, freaky! I mean, now a days we have internet, television, as well as other things to keep us entertained. Then, you had to use your imagination to keep yourself occupied. And boy howdy, did these people keep themselves occupied. At times I couldn't tell if it was real or all in their heads. If it was in their heads, they are more messed up than I am...and that's saying a lot. Plus I couldn't help but wonder, 'is that what the rich people back then did for fun? Huh, the wills and fancy's of the posher classes'.

Silence of the Lambs

N: Always a great rate flick when you want to watch someone gnaw on someone..oh the taste of flesh between your blood soaked teeth. Yummy. Thus, while agent Clarice is brought in to solve a case she must summon her courage to face a psychopathic killer isolated behind  glass that makes up his current prison.
  Its a race against time as more woman become abducted by a known serial killer Buffalo Bill only Hannible (the one that eats brains and flesh) while assisting Clarice attempts to find a way to free himself.

Thale

D: Not much of a scary movie, but its different. You get a nice look and twist, in to Norwegian folklore.
We follow Elvis and Leo, a couple of crime scene clean up guys who discover Thale. A young woman who is living in a basement. She doesn't speak, and she seems to of been part of an experiment. Though she looks human, Leo and Elvis soon learn that there is more to her than meets the eye. In fact, she maybe a huldra, a legendary woman who has a cow tail.
I actually highly recommend this movie. It seems a bit slow in the beginning, but the story line is wonderful. It makes you wonder what is out there in the forests, hiding from us because of our own fears and selfish desires to alienate anything that doesn't seem to fit in our world. I mean, who wouldn't want a creature that can heal a person of sickness and other ailments to exist?

N: Military experiments are conducted when an abnormal girl is captured in the woods. But some years later Thale is discovered alone and an ensuing mystery unravels as two men try and uncover the truth of what this woman really is. Between her bizarre behavior and a third party baring down with heavy arms; tries to recapture Thale. However, with inhuman strength Thale leaps into action stopping until all is safe in the Norwegian woods.  

Kiss of the Damned

N: Kiss me darling and make me one of the children of the night. In this masterpiece (remake) a secrete gathering of vampires troll and forge for victims to continue with eternal life. Yet as one woman Djuna lures a young hansom man into her web and soon enough both are enjoying the eternal thralls of life. But other factors disrupt the easy going life style and throw Djuna and her lover into a chaotic downfall.

D: Ah, a vampire movie where the vampires are a mix of the sophisticated and the blood thirsty.
Djuna takes a lover and makes him as she is. She teaches him the ways of the vampire and soon he is swept away into her world. But their happiness is soon disturbed, when her sister, a wild blood thirsty killer of a vampire, comes to town. Djuna's lover soon learns that just because your immortal now, doesn't mean you are free of family drama and temptations.
Blood, violence, and sex. That's how a vampire love story is suppose to be. And this movie delivers. Its more than that though. Its a good story line and great characters. Sure, its not action packed, but its got some fiery vampire drama. And lets face it, its nice to watch every now and then. So grab the red wine and cheetos, and sit back and enjoy the bloody vampire drama.

Exorcismus

N: When you play around with witchcraft you shall feel the burn of evil spawning within your soul. A young girl faces an internal struggle as a demon takes over her mind and body forcing her to cause a great rift between her family. But the question is who is really pulling the strings and what had caused this possession?

D: So exorcist movies...we meet again. This time, its in England.
A girl feels something is not right when she starts having weird things happen around her. Her mood swings are more aggressive than your average teenager, she blacks out and has almost a personality change, and for some reason she just isn't comfortable with crosses. She realizes that she may be possessed and asks her Uncle, a priest to help her. Soon, her and her agnostic family are thrown in to a spiritual battle for her soul.
The movie was a nice change for a movie about exorcisms. You get to see how and why the girl gets possessed. The reason behind it is unspeakable. It also confirms what my mama always said, 'don't draw weird symbols in blood. Ya never know whats gonna come through'.

Blade

N: An all out war brewing between vampires and a day walker, (not your Twilight girly vampires) but a ball breaking immortal that feeds not on human blood but on causing afflictions with his immortal enemies. I do enjoy the theatrics of this flick, but overall it sort of gets tiresome. And I'll say now that I had very mixed feelings about the Blade squeals.

D: This is more of a tribute really. I've watched this a bajillion times that it borders on obsessed.
Blade, a epic day walker is hunting down the vampires that roam the city streets in the hopes to one day find the one who bit his mother, causing him to become a half breed before he was even born. He is joined with his guardian Abraham Whistler, a seasoned vampire hunter who found him and trained him. They are joined by Karen. A doctor that Blade saved from a vampire attack. She seeks to find a cure after getting bitten. Together they hunt down Deacon Frost, a rogue vampire determined to enslave mankind. Let the bloody battle begin!
Action, violence, and a sexy bloody good time can be yours in this movie. Wesley Snipes does a excellent job in this movie. He is proof that vampire hunters are some of the baddest and best ever! So if your into that whole teeny bopper, Twilighty, vampire thing by all means enjoy yourself, really. But if your looking for fun, excitement, and real vampire action....Blade! Blade is your man.

Happy House

N: An extra special vacation at a hidden away B&B is just what might be needed to renew your relationship, but be aware that anything can happen. The owner; an older woman that has a strange set or rules, if caught consequences just might be the end of you. But while the couple on this retreat try and have a relaxing time a man emerges with murderous intentions. After all the entire film falls apart and makes me never want to go to a bed and breakfast.

D: I never understood why anyone would go to a B&B. And thanks to this movie, I never will. Welcome to Happy House.
So a couple decide to go to this little Bed and Breakfast for vacation. Once there, the wife figures something is not quite right. The owner, a older lady seems like a control freak, and her son seems a bit slow and creepy. Soon, the couple has to worry about other things like, other patrons hitting on wife, wife being dramatic, a crazed killer on the loose, and no blueberry muffins! How will they ever survive?
I will admit that this movie had some good twists. Like, the crazy people are not actually the crazy people. Bit of a spoiler alert but you get the message I'm sure. The thing is though, the movie looks like a amateur film makers best effort. Also, these guys keep making mistakes over and over again. Plus, who the frack wants to have sex when there is a psycho killer in the house? Seriously? You think your life is going to end so you want to get a quickie in? Tell ya what, you go distract the lunatic with your sexy time, and I'll run for my life.

American Horror Story: Asylum

N: Welcome to Brier Cliff. Its a nice quite place for those wanting to escape the ordinary daily demands of life, but in order to be admitted you just have to be deemed insane. Indeed, more goes on at this asylum. Secrete human experiments. Extraterrestrial events. Possession and those that try to defy the nuns end up in solitaire. But not lets forget the angle of death. Her kiss is a lasting affair.  But yet another character arises in this horrifying flick that will make you feel like your skin is peeling away from your body.

D: Can aliens, nuns, crazed killers, an insane asylum, and possession make a good horror series for TV? Yes it can! And Brier Cliff has it all.
If it isn't the secret experiments, its the alien abductions and sane people being thrown in with the crazies. In this, we follow the lives of a convicted murderer, a nun with a over zealous thirst for righteousness, and a reporter who lands herself in Brier Cliff when she tries to get a good story. We witness the weird, creepy, and questionable throughout this neato series.
As usual, American Horror Story spikes our interest and keeps us on our toes to the very end. And has the same song playing in the insane lounge room over and over again. For the love of the aliens, change the record! Yeesh.

Troll Hunter

N: Deep in the woods something inhuman dwells here in the trolls roam, feasting and forging for human food. In this mocumentery a group teams up with a man that must keep these over sized trolls at bay. Its entertaining to say the least. The effects are well enough not to make me disappointed.

D: Ok, this is different. Instead of a mockumentary focusing on ghosts and demons, this one is going after...TROLLS! Kind of refreshing.
So, a group of college kids go to see if there is a poacher of bears because someone seems to be killing them for no reason. Instead, they learn of the existence of trolls and follow the assigned hunter who is responsible for keeping them not only a secret, but also keeping them in line.
Not a bad movie. The different trolls were neat, and the way they killed them if need be, very interesting. Though I wouldn't buy it, I do recommend it for a Saturday night with a bowl of cookie dough ice cream. Now if you'll excuse me...here troll, here little ugly troll.
