Halloween II — Worth the View

If you didn’t watch the first Halloween movie, you’re going to want to rent it. Halloween II is full of suspense, but it won’t be nearly as good if you haven’t watched the first one. You will be completely lost.

The second Halloween doesn’t exactly follow like you might initially think. There is suspense, character connection and a riveting ending that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

I found the movie to be very intense. It started out a bit slow and then it moved right along to being very intense. Halloween is the story of Michael and his connection to his mother. This version revolves around the book that the psychologist of this notorious serial killer releases to the public.

I won’t ruin the ending for you. It is a must see to put on your list of movies.

Zombieland Total Let Down

I recently watched Zombieland in the theaters. Zombieland is rated R. The reason I primarily wanted to see Zombieland was the list of actors and actresses in the movie caught my attention.

While, Zombieland is a horror movie, it is also a comedy. Several of my friends found Zombieland to be hysterical. I was extremely let down by the movie, Zombieland. The only part I was laughing at was how pathetically made the movie was.

The entire movie is very predictable. You can almost count the seconds until your prediction of what is going to happen next actually unfolds on the screen before your very eyes. Absolutely, no suspense.

There was some gore. This was done reasonably well. However, the entire thing was just strange. There was no explanation as to why the non-zombie characters were immune to the disease that caused the destruction of mankind and petkind.

I definitely give Zombieland the thumbs-down and feel it was disappointing.

Basket Case

Basket Case was a low-budget comedy/horror film released in the 80’s. It’s one of those movies so bad, you wonder why you are watching, yet you are compelled to watch–at least once.

Kevin Van Hentenryck stars as Duane Bradley who was a conjoined twin at birth. Their mother died during childbirth and the father was disgusted with the twins, especially Belial who was grossly malformed. He wanted the twins separated and turned to doctors in hopes of Duane being able to lead a normal life and letting Belial die. Instead, Belial lived, but was a monstrous form that Duane carried around in a basket.

Duane and Belial want to seek revenge on the doctors who separated them and proceed to track them down. Duane is excited when he gets his first date, but this leads to a sinister ending with his twin’s involvement.

There is blood and gore in this movie and the quality is obviously low-budget. It isn’t your typical, contemporary horror movie and isn’t suited for young children, but it has some entertainment value.

The Unborn (R: 2009)

The Unborn (R:2009)
Written by/Director David S. Goyer. Starring: Odette Yustman … Casey Beldon; Gary Oldman … Rabbi Sendak; Meagan Good … Romy; Cam Gigandet … Mark Hardigan; Idris Elba … Arthur Wyndham; Jane Alexander … Sofi Kozma; and many more.

“Sometimes the soul of a dead person has been so tainted with evil that it is denied entrance to heaven. It must endlessly wander the borderlands between worlds, desperately searching for a new body… “

One of my favorite horror and mythological themes: the opposite alternative doppleganger-like being that lives in the otherworldly realm with portals into our world by means of mirrors. I’m not sure why I’m obsessed with the mirror-being, doppleganger type entities lore and tales, but I am. This movie definitely has some intriquing twists and ideas behind those legends/beliefs. Its a story about a twin, who doesn’t know she’s a twin. Cursed by a family lineage of twins afflicted by Nazi occultism/experimentation that opened a portal in the past for a evil-doppleganger like entity called a “dybbuk”, a malevolent spirit that refuses to leave the human world and inhabits the body of a person, until it can find a way to be “born”. First haunting his twin sister by dreams and then visions, she goes through a disturbing fight for survival as she wraps herself around Jewish mysticism in order to have the “dybbuk” exorcized from her. Good effects and a good plot. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5.

This horror movie was released in the year 2007 and was produced by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert. The film was written by Steve Niles and Stuart Baittee. This film is about a Dracula who is slowly and mysteriously taking control over a Town in Alaska. The Dracula starts killing the local people he sucks blood from their neck.

Resident Evil (R)

You all may have heard about or played Resident Evil games if not the movie. The upcoming game of the series is Resident Evil 5 and is expected to be a big hit. Now lets talk about the film. Resident Evil is a great Sci-Fi (or horror) film released in the year 2002 and directed by Paul Anderson. The film is actually based on the games.

Now, Allice (played by sexy Milla Jovovich) and Rain (Michelle Rodriguez, hard to speak name) along with a few other mercenaries, have to shutdown the computer and clean out all the members of the Umbrella Corp.
The film offers great action and entertainment. It was successful enough to make two more sequels. If, you are a Resident Evil video game fan like me then this movie is a must have on your shelf. The film has been rated R for its violence.

Incubus (R: 2006)

Incubus (R: 2006)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462359/
Director: Anya Camilleri. Starring: Tara Reid … Jay, Akemnji Ndifernyan … Bug, Alice O’Connell … Holly, Russell Carter … Josh, Christian Brassington … Peter, Mihai Stanescu … Sleeper, and many more.
This film is a total B-rate. Typical story about a bunch of young adults getting into a car accident, getting stranded in the middle of nowhere, and stumbling upon horrors and murder upon their search for safety. This time it takes place is the frigidly cold mountains of Montana - six friends stumble upon a facility in the middle of nowhere, breaking in to find warmth and shelter, discover absolute horrors in the halls of the medical facility. Some surviving scientists go mad and they discover a serial-killer in a coma that is being experimented on. Turns out this coma-tose killer is an incubus who still attacks people through their dreams. It has a decent plot, but fails horribly in presentation. Rating: 2 stars out of 5.
