From Dusk Till Dawn

N: As gun totting killers kick off this flick with a shootout and fire-bombing a store, things just keep getting interesting when two brothers on the run take a few people hostage along the way and head to the Mexican boarder where paradise awaits them.

I was defiantly enticed by the pole dancing babes that keep burning up the stage at the bar, but it dose not get scorching hot until after a few brisk confrontations break out; something that no one expected strikes like a King Cobra slithering at your feet. Thus, a blast of gunfire spills onto the silver screen while an orgy socked bloodbath and flesh eating vampires arise one by one to stalk the remaining folks inside the bar.

Silent Hill

It's tribute time from the D! And what am I paying tribute to? Why one of the coolest adaptations from game to movie ever! I'm talking about the movie Silent Hill.
Now for those of you who don't know about the games listen. This movie is based off of the popular komani game Silent Hill series. In the movie, a mother and daughter go to the abandoned town Silent Hill to solve the mystery of the daughters nightmares and why she calls out the towns name in her sleep. As they near the town they get into a wreck and the daughter goes missing. The mother goes out to find her in the town and is soon introduced to the nightmare that has swallowed the small town.
As a fan of this epic game, its hard not to compare movie and game. But personally I think they did a great job. Especially with the monsters that roam the streets of the town. I think they did a awesome job bringing the grand daddy monster Pyramid head to life. Ahh you beautiful creature. I still cheer out his name whenever I watch this movie and he comes onto screen.
The story is good, the casting is awesome, there is a perfect amount of gore to satisfy the creepiest creep. All in all, I will never get tire of this movie. It is on my shelf and it will stay there. See it! See the weirdness that is Silent Hill!

Waxworks

N: Oh the feeling of a 1980s horror film. It begins with a midnight invitations extended by a stranger. Its liked picking up a hitchhiker or letting a stranger into our house. Trouble is bound to happen. A group of teenagers take part in accepting an invite from this stranger and enter a museum where private parties are all the scream. It becomes very tormenting for me to wach as the kids one by one began to fall pray to the creatures of the museum. But wait these creatures are made of wax. How is it possible I ask myself? Wait and you shall find out....
While this creepy low budget film and early special effects take hold, the true meaning of the museum is discovered and in an epic, but rather confusing battle between the creatures and the remaining teenagers ensue.
It was a heart warming film between the slicing and splatters of blood to say the last. At least the ending was charming when the two remaining teenagers fell in love.

The Ward

N: It would not be a horror flick without a very sexy girl to play a troubled teenager that has been locked away inside an aging ward. It seems that in all cases that all asylums tend to be places governed by ghosts and dark secretes. Kristen is one that has a very dark secret and while she solves her mental issues she becomes torn between the hunting's and the other patients on the ward. People began to disappear. Vanishing into the eerier bowls of the asylum. Yet as we follow along, towards the ending a shocking revelations is reveled and we are left with a sort of shell sock that never goes away. I wish it could. I wish it could....
D: Ahhh, the triumphant return to the crazy house. What more could you want? How about a tale about a luney girl who is admitted to the crazy asylum that is haunted and the said ghost starts a killing spree. All these fun things can be yours in this movie, plus a bonus people! An ending that leaves you asking..."what the french toast?? That's it?!" 
This lovely movie starts off with a interesting beginning and then a nice twist, but the ending just leaves you wondering what was the point? Some of the scenes are cool due to awesome camera editing and little to some gore...but the ending, always the ending! Make it stop! I need a hug...

Giallo

N: I loved Adrien Brody in the "Jacket," but I am somewhat unsure about this films performance. Shot in 2009 this movie is more of a thriller than a horror flick. A serial killer with a vengeance takes his madness out on fair and pretty girls with methodical deviance. Like all serial killers this one likes to kidnap these sexy wemon and ravages them with whatever instrument of torture he can wheel. This modern horror thriller is sort of intriguing in the beginning, but flat lines at the end.

Transylvania 6-5000

N: Beware of Frankenstein and the other monsters when you go to Transylvania. You just might end up like the two reporters in the movie that take an assignment and find themselves being chased by what you would deem as the cult classic of horror monsters. The quips of humor throughout the movie are very typical of a 1985 film, but while I was scared for these fellow reporters the comical interactions between the two reportors was worth my time. Its always fantastic to see some of the old actors on the silver screen.

Haunted honeymoon


N:I remember seeing this awhile back on TV....and I could not help but become enticed to watch it again. Its a Glen Wilder classic at its best. Though the movie is somewhat short it is packed with great classic horror footage that will leave you balling in tears with laughter. Larry Abbot (Glen Wilder) must overcome the fear of getting married and so the solution in this movie was to scare him out of his wits ends so that he could get passed this fear. Check it out. But be careful not to watch during a full moon because a werewolf maybe lurking near by as in the movie Larry is stalked by one that wheels a sharp knife....
