Annabelle

D: Whats going bump in the night? Creepy little dolls that's what! Prepare for the movie that will make you look at dolls and run!
Kind of a prequel to the movie The Conjuring, Annabelle tells the origin story of the doll that comes to be possessed and terrorizes the family whose house it resides in.
This was a awesome movie! So many creepy moments. If you didn't like dolls before, you will just scream when you see them after this. The creepy thing is, that this is based on the true story of the doll called Annabelle that now resides at the famous Warrens in a glass case that is blessed twice every month. Seriously, look up the history of this doll. It is freaky! Dolls are the tools of evil! This movie proves it...

N: During the area of rising cults worshiping demons, a family becomes involved in a deeply disturbing event. Annabelle-a woman of flesh and blood intertwined in a cult movement becomes her own victim, but through the passing of death springs a new life and brings the rise of  a demonic presence followed by terror and death. The doll that has a deep-dark history follows this family and its corrupt nature brings only destruction. If you are afraid of dolls like the one in the movie then you should face your fear, but just don't spill your popcorn when the chills and fright attack you.

Immortality

D: A different spin on the whole vampire thing, its hard not to love this movie because who doesn't love Jude Law?
This is the story of a man who in order to live must drink the blood of his lovers. After he had finished with his latest victim, this charismatic vampire finds his latest lover in a young woman who just may steal his heart.
I can't say that I loved this movie, but I can't say I hated it. Jude Law gives a great performance, and Elina Lowensohn is wonderful. The story was interesting, but it had a few holes in it. One being, how he came to be the way he was. It was explained why he had to drink the blood of his lovers, but not his origin. I was more interested in that but none what so ever. Bummer. Still a better story than the current vampire movie trends. You know what I'm talking about. Sparkle sparkle.

N: In a world of his own between a reality that involves blood lust and seduction a abnormal vampire-beast must survive by immersing himself; so deeply in order to remain unchanged that he commits murder and is justly paced in the involvement of many deaths. Yet in the course of this film as I adored the concept and his decedent surroundings I feel that this flick fell rather short and with a unexplained reason for his long-lasting life, growing more tired-some. Perhaps I was lacking blood and needed to feast on the flesh.

Lizzie Borden

N: A gruesome double murder is committed at the Borden household; A murder has slain, wheeling a hatchet. Chopping and trashing the frightful-poetic images really pump up the heart. yet this film falls flat. Its broad strokes of imagery captivates, but the downfall is the modern day music that becomes annoying and pointless. The true case is interesting, nonetheless I'd watch something else....

D: I have not seen the legendary Christina Ricci in much lately. But, I wish that this wasn't what I saw.
This is the story of the well known Lizzie Borden and the murder of her father and step-mother. It shows the odd family life, the murders, and the trial.
Disappointed, doesn't even cover what I felt while watching this movie. I mean lets do better people. Did they just tell Ricci to sound like the worst liar? I didn't even believe that she was innocent. I don't even think that she believed that she was innocent. And what was up with that music? I think that was the worse of it. It gets you pumped yes, adding modern day music to a movie based in the 1800s, but it was just distracting. Let me save you an hour and thirty minutes; Lizzie Borden took an ax...to this movie...that's what happened.

Oculus

N: Step out of the mirror that for centenaries has been behind some very gruesome-mysterious deaths. But one family is on the verge of killing the so called entity that lives within. What may seem real becomes an obscured reality as brother and sister Kaylie and Tim become entrapped by the nightmare of the Oculus.  
  Yet in someways I was disappointed in the end result and still allot had not been explained. The flash backs got a little carried away, but over all you should not miss watching this flick.

D: A horror movie with so much promise, that makes you want to cry after watching it.
This scary story begins with the reunion of a sister and her little brother, after being separated for years after the murder of their parents. When reunited, the sister shows that she is obsessed with finding a mirror that she says is responsible for the death of her parents. Once they get their hands on the mirror, a number of odd occurrences, as well as random flashbacks, begin to submerge.
Now, I'm not saying that this movie was bad. In fact it was very entertaining and I would recommend seeing it. The only thing was that you only get a small history lesson on the mirror and its many victims, just not its true origin. Plus the flashbacks were just everywhere. But I guess it works. Tied everything together. Just that ending, yeesh. Always ending on a high note huh people?

Case 39

N: something not so human cause friction between Emily a social worker that's given a case of which leads her down a path of a strange and haunting reality. Between protecting an innocent girl and being pursued by a chilling presence.

D: Sometimes when you think your helping a helpless human, you become the one who need the help.
This is the story of a child case worker who thinks she is rescuing a sweet little girl whose parents seem to be abusive and withdrawn towards their child. But once the case worker takes it upon herself to care for the little girl, she quickly begins to think that maybe her parents had the right idea.
This was awesome! One, it stars the talented Renee Zellweger as the caring case worker, and it stars Jodelle Ferland who has played such memorable creepy little girl characters such as Mary from Kingdom Hospital and Sharon/Allessa from Silent Hill. This movie, though not so much scary as it is thrilling takes you on the most wild ride through the mind of evil disguised as an innocent little girl. Who says little girls are sweet? Not this chick.  

The Believers

Dive into the Ritual voodoo practices that will cast hexes and curses upon you. Its an older film-with a okay cast. With a death of a family member Carl Jaminson must start his life over, while strange occurrences keep taking place Carl's Son becomes also involved in these underground world of voodoo practices.
