Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

N: Never a big fan of Katie Holmes, but she fared in this movie. But the point is that paraphrase you should be afraid, that is of the dark. For in the trenches underground beneath a mansion with hidden and dark secretes; what I would call creatures stalk the family searching with a deadly passion to steal the soul. Uncover the truth.....

D: You see, most people are under the impression that fairy-tales are sweet and for children. This movie proves that's not the case.
A little girl named Sally, is sent to live with her father and his girlfriend in the Blackwood manor that they are fixing up to sell. She is soon thrust into a fairy tale nightmare as she is stalked by little creatures who wish to take her and make her one of them.
First, I love this director. He has some awesome movies out. Also, this is how most fairy tales are. Brothers Grimm, they had some of the darkest, bloodiest stories that were actually told to children. And this movie is awesome. The little girl is more human than the adults, more of a real character really. The creatures small and scary. The adults, clueless as to the terror that they are surrounded by. I highly recommend this movie. It will make you think twice about the beloved tales you heard as a child.

Dream House

N: Nothing is what it seems in this horror flick. Will Antenton played by Daniel Craig, a father raising two young girls finds him self on the verge of a mental breakdown. While he tries to uncover the truth of this house that he has just moved into a strange mystery begins to unravel. Someone is stalking them. A killer outside wanting nothing more than to get in. The house comes alive as if Wills memories or nightmares if you will come forth lashing out like a plague.

D: The mind can sometimes play games with us, making reality one thing when its another.
A man and his family move into a nice house, only to learn that it has a violent history. They become the victims of an invisible tormentor who is believed to be the murderer of the family that lived there before them. Things take a turn for the weird when the truth is revealed.
I think of this as the ghost story version of the Matrix. No take blue pill or red pill thing, but in the sense that reality is altered and nothing is as it seems. Its pretty trippy. I was like, 'glad I ain't stoned. This would freak the living crap out of me'. Its amazing what the mind can do...what if this aint real?? What if I'm actually a duck? Quack quack...

An American Ghost Story

N: I think after watching this flic; in some way I know I could have written a better screenplay let alone hired better actors with more feelings and guts to cover an ailing house that might be haunted. A man must uncover the truth about this house that has slain a family but the writer investigating really has no factual basis and spends all his time not doing research. Sure we see that the house is possessed by some force but I dare say the truth is really never understood.

D: Oh my gosh...the sheets are attacking!! Beware the bed sheets. That is the only thing partially interesting about this flick. But even that is so corny, they sell it at the county fair.
A writer wants to do a story on a haunted house, so he rents a haunted house to experience what its like to be scared by some pissed off spook.
I was so bored! All it was, was a dude trying to flush out ghost, and when he finally gets a taste, instead of calling it quits, he tries to push it further. And when the ghost does 'show' itself, its under a flipping sheet...a sheet people! And we don't even get a good story as to why the place is haunted. That's what makes a ghost story good. When we learn the history about the home. Cause usually its some messed up stuff. Also, if you want to scare me with a sheet, use some with Barney on it or something, cause that is even more scary than this movie all together.

Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money

N: I have to admit that I really could not sink my teeth into this film as I had down so in the first feature film of this series. Yes a few characters actors popped up like Danny Trejo, and Robert Patrick whom I both enjoy watching, but just not this film. In retro scope its just like everything was thrown into a horrible miss guided blood bath and when everything was said  and done only the sunrise is what saved the film. Saved it because it was finally over....

Children of the Corn

N: A town that has become abandoned captures an eerie  monstrous tale about a small boy named Isaac who has overthrown and corrupted the children into following his occult teachings. Zombie-like children in a foreplay of murder cast darkness into the town. Offerings are now made. The adults are all dead.
 But a couple passing through now become targets of this group and while the children ensue the couple must stay a step ahead and though the corn becomes alive and the devil speaks though Isaac who will be the last to survive....  

Day Breakers

N: An infection surges through the masses leading many to thirst for blood and though a solution has been devised still humans slumber in the day time only to emerge within the dark; moonlight cast down upon everyone who has become vampires. But while a breed of even darker and more dangerous vampires come out of hiding one man is left to uncover a way to reverse this terrible affliction.

D: Hooray!!! A vampire movie that doesn't suck! Its been to long. A unique take on a apocalyptic vampire ruled world that is as awesome as it could be.
Vampires rule the world, and humans are becoming extinct. Blood is running low, and those who do not get their needed blood become a cannibalistic vampire. Battling through homicidal vampires and humans alike, one vampire may have found something that may be the solution; a cure for vampireism.
I was unsure of this one I will admit. There had been so many bad vampire movies out there, but this one. It delivered, not only a great sequence of violence and blood, but also a good story line. Also Williem Dafoe, awesome!! And yes, Ethan Hawke was great too. Just watch it, you will not be disappointed.

Dark Touch

N: Even though some things about this flick fall into the unexplained and leaves you with only a vague interpretation, such events that draw to the final conclusion of this film still will leave you with an gritty feeling that shall cause you to wonder more about ghostly attachments. Thus, while a young girl must live with a devastating nightmare her reality becomes unhinged as those that abused her face a fatal end and whatever ghostly persuasions linger about this flick will leave you questioning....

D:  Huh? What the...wow...I am just stunned and a little bit on the confused side here. A good story, just some questions. Well not questions, but a need for assurance that my hypothesis is right.
We are introduced to the chaos and craziness of this movie when we witness the main character, a little girl, running as though her life depended on it. After being returned to her home. We are given the impression that her experiences are that of a haunting. It turns dark when she is able to make things happen when she is scared or feels threatened.
A good movie, but, I have so many questions. Like, did she have psychic powers that just came up after the trauma? Did they just come out of no where? If its obvious that she was abused, why not let the people who agree to take her in know so that they can try and not trigger anything? Plus, its obvious? Right? I mean once you see the movie you can put the pieces together yourself, but come on. Eh, what do I know. Other than if I see a group of kids looking creepy, I'm taking  the long way round.
