Day 22 - Your favorite horror themed TV show - Oh geez!! there's too many to name here. I can think of 3 shows of the bat that I LOVE that are horror theme. Why must I choose?! I take that back I could add a 4th to that because the main character is a witch. Well since I must I am going to go with The Munsters.
I loved this show when I was little and the theme song catches you right away. Yes, the Adam's Family has a catchy song too, but I like this concept a bit more. I am not sure who thought of this, but I love it. If you haven't seen this show look for it.
Day 21 - Your favorite medical horror film - Well I guess you could all guess that the Human Centipede is not my favorite medical horror film. I can only think of one, and it was a movie I was afraid to watch because I thought it was going to be corny and just bad.
Repo the Genetic Opera is actually a good movie. Yes, Paris HIlton sings in it, but if you look past that, you have an interesting story and some great singing by the wonderful Sarah Brightman. The movie is about a future world where people were dying until this miracle was found that will cure people. Of course not everyone can afford it and this is where the repo man comes in. Yes, it's a similar plot to Repo Men staring Jude Law, but this is darker and a musical.
I was afraid to see it because of the musical aspect, but friends of mine said it was actually good, so I rented it and was surprised at how good it was.
Day 20 - Your favorite horror film involving a killer animal - This genre is a bit over done I guess you could say. A lot of them are really really bad. I have seen a lot of them on Elvira's Movie Macabre. So I had to go through yet again a list to see what I have seen and which I like. Which of course I completely passed another one of my favorite movies directed by my favorite director.
The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock. What I love about his movies and this is that a simple concept brings fear into people. No one really thinks birds are scary, but some how Hitchcock makes them scary and now crows and other black birds have a creepy feel to them.
I have been putting this one off because it's a crappy movie. I put off watching it and once I did, I did not see how how anyone liked it. It was trying to be different, but it was just a crappy vampire movie.
Synopsis: A tormented boy has a new neighbor, a young girl. She at first will not be his friend, but finally she does. Their friendship becomes strong and he learns that she has a dark secret.
Review: This movie was just okay. It's a vampire movie, but that's hard to tell since it lacks much of anything that is typical for a vampire movie. The plot is just boring and I really did not see how people were raving about this movie. I think this movie was over amped up.
Do not waste your time with this movie. It was nothing important or ground breaking.
Day 19 - Your favorite horror film involving the powers of Hell or Satanism - Yeah this movie was either a hit or miss for most people. I really liked it when it came out. Maybe because it seem a bit different to me is the reason why I like it. Constantine was different than your usual Catholic based movie or even your good vs. evil movie.
While Keanu is not a great actor I thought his character was truly different. Also, it is a bit similar to the show Supernatural, which I like so maybe that as well made me like it.
This was the second movie I got from Rue Morgue's contest and while it's not exactly horror it does have that psychological thriller aspect to it. Get ready for this review because... I am going to tear it a new one.
Synopsis: A truck driver wakes up buried alive after his convey is attack by Iraqi insurgents. He frantically calls everyone he can think of so he can survive and get out. His captures ask him to get millions of dollars and to make videos so he can be release.
Review: Do you all remember the movie Phone booth with Colin Ferrel? Well this movie is just like that, but in a coffin and you only see Ryan Reynolds. This is a movie from Spain and mad did it suck. I was bored and within ten minutes I knew it was going to be like Phone Booth. The only difference is after then minutes of watching Phone Booth I stopped watching it and returned it back to the rental store. This one I sat through it hoping it was get better.
Yes, being buried alive is a horrible thing and you add the fact that Iraqis did it to you, you scare people. What bores them is Reynolds grunting and moaning over and over again. I was just bored and was waiting to see if he lives or dies.
So no gore, other than he cuts his finger, but you heard it only. There's a scene were a snake magically appears in his pant leg. Not sure what kind of snake it was suppose to be, but it looked like a black king snake that we have here in Arizona. No climax, no excitement. Just utter boredom. It was like putting a camera in an empty room and claiming it to be a great movie.
I am glad however that this was a free movie that I was given and not one that I bought. It was a huge waste of my time and I am not sure how anyone could love this movie. So avoid this movie at all costs.
