The Walking Dead Season Two Episode 8

This is going to be a short review of the episode. I'm not going to do my normal recap of it. Basically, we see the group in shock and yet again everyone has their own opinion on what to do. Nothing really new either. Shane is unpredictable, Rick is playing the hero and goes into town to get Hershal back to the farm. They are still at the farm...

The only thing new and this may spoil the episode for you if you haven't seen it yet, is that Lori gets in an accident and is completely forgotten when the episode ends. Would have been better to show her and walkers approaching the car while she's unconscious or something. Everything else about this episode is really boring. Well maybe except the ending. I was kind of excited for new cast members especially one, who's name I forget, but he was in the first season of True Blood and the FX show Terriers that had one season. I thought it might bring some more excitement and less... melodrama to the show, but nope those guys did not last long.

I'll keep watching, but I really want to see them LEAVE the damn farm. I think they need to keep moving and not settle down. Yes, I know Lori is pregnant and that makes things difficult, but I don't see why they need to stay at the farm with all that is going on. There's too much tension and it makes the show very boring. Please, let them leave the farm next week. I want to see more of what is going on, like other survivors, how other towns or states look. I just need something new for the show. I hate to see a good thing get boring. Especially since I am starting to like zombies now.

No I have yet to see the brand new episode, but I am caught up with this season. I won't be doing my episode recap for the last 4 episodes, but this will be my overall opinion on the show thus far.

I think a lot of fans of the show will feel the same as I do. I have heard a lot of disappointment with season two of the show. I have the first season on DVD and I thought it was an amazing show. Brought something different to the whole zombie craze. I think a lot of people had high hopes for the second season. With six episodes it was fast moving and you never had time to relax.

Season two, while it starting off strong it just fell apart. I think a lot of people were hoping that they group would not be on the farm for so long. I honestly cannot tell exactly how many days they have been there, but it seems like too long. Nothing exciting has really happen this second season and I was bored. There's a reason why after the 2nd episode I stopped watching for a while. Those who were able to keep up told me how boring it was getting so I stopped.

I just don't know what happened. There was hardly any moving and the going to look for supplies or looking for the little girl was barely exciting. They missed the mark on this season.

Like most people the last 5 minutes of the finale, or whatever it is called was the best part of the season. I won't spoil it for those of you who are not caught up with the season.  So needless to say I hope this new episode and the rest of the season gets better. I want them to
1) Get off the damn farm!!!
2) Move miles away from the farm!
3) Get to the fort or someplace new.

Valentine's Day Horror Edition

There's nothing scarier than Valentine's Day. Yes, even though I am not single I still never like the holiday. Nothing says I love you than forced love and desperation. So to celebrate I thought I would bring you all the better things you could be doing on Valentine's Day than stalking your fantasy crush or sitting by the phone hoping that Edward Cullen would give you a call to say he dumped Bella.

For one you can watch this trailer for a new zombie video game coming out called Lollipop Chainsaw. This game looks a bit cheesy, but maybe it better than it looks. It apparently is just for Valentine's Day.

If you are more of the watching movies with a dark side to the holidays you can watch the remake of My Bloody Valentine's Day. While there's not much about the holiday compared to the original, I liked the remake better. Eh and if your into good looking guys and alone you can enjoy some eye candy while you watch the movie.

There's also a movie called Valentine, which is a horror movie, but I have not seen it. I am sure it's cheesy, but might be something worth watching if you are in an anti-force love kind of mood.





Oh and I cannot forget. If you are truly lonely and a sick bastard The Human Centipede is released on DVD and Blu-Ray on Feb 14th... ah nothing say love than a snuff film.

If you want to do something for your lover on this special day I have yet to find chocolate covered brains or zombies, so maybe if you find some cherry filled chocolates or something similar it won't be too mushy and romantic.

So don't worry of this silly holiday. have a laugh by watching a good horror movie or one that is so bad you are laughing your ass off.

Resident Evil: Retribution Trailer

Not sure how I feel about this trailer. It's not very good nor does it make me want to go see this movie.

Movie Review: Straw Dogs

If there's any thing I hate more than a crappy horror movie, it's a crappy movie that pretends to be a horror movie. I am not sure what other's thought about this movie based on the trailer, but I thought this was going to be similar to The Strangers.

Synopsis: David Sumner and his wife Amy movie to her Southern hometown. Tensions build between David and the locals that threatens both his and his wife's lives.

Review: Like I said above I thought this movie was going to be more of a horror film, but really it's a thriller without much to be thrilled about. The acting while okay is not that great when Amy, played by Kate Bosworth is scared for her life because their cat was murdered. She acts like she knows something about the anger of her ex Charlie, but she doesn't explain it. It seems like over kill and a silly woman overreacting.

Nothing makes much sense in this movie. I am not sure how the original was and I cannot seem to find a copy of it for comparison. I think it fell very short of being good. While the movies had it's moments I think it was missing something.

Other things that I noticed was Charlie's eyes/stare when Amy does a strip tease for them after feeling violated by them gawking at her. It wasn't a gawk of lust it was... like he was going mad or something. I like he does better as a viking vampire in True Blood.

The only elements of a horror movie was animals were killed, rape and it took place in the south. I was very disappointed to see that this movie had potential to be a horror movie, but did nothing for me.

I would rate this movie with 2 zombies. Don't rent it.

News on a Psycho Prequel

I found this on shock till you drop and thought it was interesting since this is one of my all time favorite movies. I will post their story below, but basically A&E is going to do the prequel of Psycho and all about Norman Bates... sounds interesting, but will it be good?

A&E and Universal are developing a television series called Bates Motel which is, you guessed it, all about Norman Bates.

Funny, that it should take the title of the television pilot (a failed one at that) created in '87 that was supposed to pave the way for an anthology series.  Alas, it never got off the ground.  A&E's Bates Motel, on the other hand, will serve as a prequel story that delves into Norman's past.

Wait a second...they've already done that, too...

Here's the official announcement from A&E: Bates Motel serves as a prequel to the most famous fright film of all-time, Psycho. A&E is currently in script development. Bates Motel will give viewers an intimate understanding of how Norman Bates' psyche developed from his childhood through his teen years. Fans will have access to the dark, twisted backstory and learn first hand how his mother, Norma, and her lover damaged Norman, helping forge the most well-known serial killing motel owner in history. Of course, if you recall, Mick Garris' Psycho IV explored Norman's past as well.  And that aforementioned television pilot from '87 - it starred Bud Cort, Lori Petty and Kurt Paul as Norman Bates.

Happy 2012

Well it looks like we all survived the new year and no zombie uprises yet to speak of, but the year is still new. Yes, this year is suppose to mark the end of the world... AS WE KNOW IT... sorry for the horrible 90s song, but it seemed fitting to sing. Anyway, hopefully I can bring this blog out of the grave since I have not been posting... anything. Again, burn out, lack of motivation and school starts early this semester, but I am hoping to post a few things coming up. One will be the whole horror/found tape/documentary franchise that is making a coming back. Also, taking a page out of Brian's book I think I will come up with top 5 or what he's been calling raining day postings, where there's nothing new to talk about so listing like my favorite Hitchcock movies, or... which actors should never been in a horror movie. Just something to keep the posts new and me not completely flaking out on all of you. You came all this way so why not entertain you with something horrific....

So here's to a new year that we all hope doesn't get taken over by zombies, aliens, cannibals dressed like George Washington (yes, they exists in some crappy movie), demonic toys, electronics that enslave us, or everyone turns into Tom Sixx. Happy New Years for the Horror House!!!
