Stephen King Easter Egg Hunt, Blair Witch, and Split! I'M BACK!

I'M BACK!
Full disclosure - I did not go anywhere. Just didn't post. You know how I get every summer. And also Dungeons and Dragons has kind of taken over my life this month, so that combined with the lack of interesting horror films coming out over the past two months, I've had no inspiration.

But I'm back.
Just to chat about two big things and then drool over Stranger Things...

And also to promise (very loosely) that I'll be back on the horror binge wagon and start posting some more reviews. I noticed Netflix got Holidays and The Invitation, so I'm hoping to plow through those some time soon. It's also pride week here in Vancouver so I've got a tone of plans that don't allow me time to watch horror flicks.

Enough excuses.

First of all let's talk about the biggest damn secret that ever was kept...the Blair Witch sequel:

A month or so ago I saw the trailer for The Woods and was super on board. It looked super spooky and it boasted to be the most terrifying found footage film ever. Then about a week ago I saw a fan theory that said The Woods could be a Blair Witch sequel. They pointed out the original poster where the space between the trees created the Blair Witch symbol, and they also froze and screen capped the trailer and pointed out a split second shot of the symbol hanging from the trees in the background. But.....it couldn't be....could it? That's too good to be true?

Then BOOM....The Woods turns into Blair Witch with a new poster and a new trailer, which you can watch here.

Holy. Shit.

I was fuhreaking. What a damn coup ya'll.

So The Woods, now titled Blair Witch will be a direct sequel to the 1999 original The Blair Witch Project. It will pick up years after the first film when one of the new characters discovers footage showing Heather Donahue, his sister. So naturally him and a group of friends head off into the Black Hills Forest to find out what happened to her and most likely encounter the Blair Witch herself.

The film was a sequel from the get go, but the secret remained in tact with only a select group of people knowing the truth. They filmed it here in BC last year under the title The Woods, directed by Adam Wingard.

I, for one, cannot freaking wait for September 16th to watch this damn film!!!!!! Are we finally going to see the witch? Will we find out what happened to Heather and her friends? Are people going to believe this all real like they did back in the 90's?

Alright my next big thing I'm freaking out about is M. Night Shyamalan's new film coming out next year; Split.

Obviously we don't have much on it yet but the trailer dropped today and I'm obsessed. Shamalamadingdong is working with Blumhouse Productions to release this film on January 20th. The plot is supposedly about Kevin, played by James McAvoy, and his 23 personalities. Although, unbeknownst to his psychiatrist, played by Betty Buckley, he has one more hidden away and this one is the worst. Kevin abducts three girls including Casey who is played by Anya Taylor-Joy from The Witch, and hides them away. The three girls try to figure out his 24 personalities and how to deal with each one in order to survive.

The trailer gives me the massive heebie jeebies, already proving that McAvoy might actually pull this off. And ya'll know I love me some Shamalamadingdong so don't come to me hating on this film JUST because he wrote and directed it. Give it a fucking chance. Just like The Visit, which, by the way, was the number one grossing horror movie in 2015. So suck it. The man knows his shit, he just makes...questionable choices. But with Blumhouse backing him, I think he's onto a strong second half of his career.

I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE NOW!!!!!!!

Watch the trailer here.

Now, before I go, I want to speak about Stranger Things. I don't need to tell you to watch this show. I'm sure you've already binged it at this point. Everyone is talking about it and you don't need another blog going on and on about it. It's amazing. It's 80's nostalgia done right. The kids are amazing. The monster is terrifying. IT'S SO GREAT!

But what I want to talk about is the Stephen King aspect of it (surprise, surprise) and thought it would be fun to try and point out all the Stephen King references I noticed it while watching it:

• Now obviously the title music is very much Carpenter but it also brings to mind the same motifs that appear in Maximum Overdrive and Firestarter.
• The title sequence is of course the "Stephen King font" used on so many of his books but the title appearing the way it does is much like The Dead Zone.
• Of course, the cast themselves are like something out of IT. But considering this is set in the 80's it's also much like Dreamcatcher, including Eleven with her abilities reflecting Duddits.
• Then there's the walk along the train tracks that is a perfect copy of Stand By Me, or The Body.
• Back to Firestarter, Eleven is of course very much like Charlie and her story.
• Eleven is also a lot like Carrie - sweet-natured with good intentions but capable of shocking violence when pressed.
• There's Lucas's 'wrist rocket' which is exactly like Beverly's slingshot in IT which becomes the powerful weapon that's used against Pennywise.
• In one scene Stephen King is referenced directly where a guard is reading Cujo and you can see Stephen King's author photo on the back. The sheriff references the novel.
• There's a scene where a lab assistant goes into the Upside Down attached to a rope, and when they pull the rope back out there's just gore at the end of it. Exactly like in The Mist.
• When Joyce is trying to get Will to contact her through the alphabet drawn on her wall, she sits hunched over holding an axe. The Shining.

I'm sure there's a bunch I missed, so let me know if you catch any others! Who knew all I needed in my life was a Stephen King easter egg hunt? I've never been so happy.

You can watch Stranger Things right now on Netlflix.

That's it for me for now. I can't promise when I'll return but it will be sooner than later, I know that. Once summer comes to a close, I'll be back on my couch watching horror movies. And of course, October is coming up quickly - I'll need to plan for my 31 days of horror, three of which will be spent in Kauai - so that will take some wrangling. Luckily I've got myself a 6 hour plane ride to maybe binge watch the last three and then blog while avoiding the sun and the ocean.

Anyway, that's my problem, not yours.

STAY SPOOKY THIS SUMMER!
Love you all!

Re-looking at Jennifer's Body

How great is Jennifer's Body?
Seriously...this movie is amazing.
Let's talk about it!

JENNIFER'S BODY 

PMS isn't real Needy, it was invented by the boy-run media to make us seem like we're crazy. 

"Hell is a teenage girl." and so Jennifer's Body begins, a crazy story full of hormones, teenagers, and a man eating psycho demon.

Jennifer's Body came out in 2009 and is directed by Karyn Kusama. It's named after the song by Hole and is a film about female empowerment and the complex relationships of teenage best friends.

Jennifer is played by Meghan Fox, a highschooler who is pretty advanced for her age and stunningly beautiful. Her best friend, Anita or "Needy", is played by Amanda Seyfried. The two have been best friends since they were little and now in high school remain so, even though Needy is your typical nerdy type. One night Jennifer drags Needy to a rock concert at their only local bar so that she can possibly hook up with the lead singer, but the band are a little spooky and after a fire tears about the bar, killing almost everyone inside, Jennifer and Needy escape out the bathroom window. Once outside they are greeted by the lead singer, played by Adam Brody, who encourages Jennifer to come with them, leaving Needy behind.

The band are witches and need to sacrifice a virgin in the devil's kettle, which is a waterfall that the town is named after. It has a whirlpool in it that goes nowhere, hence the rumor it goes to hell. The only problem is that Jennifer isn't a virgin, "Yeah, right. I'm not even a backdoor-virgin anymore, thanks to Roman." and so after they murder her and toss her into the whirlpool, she comes back alive. Only she comes back completely fuckeeeedddd up.

Jennifer becomes beautiful, even more so than she usually was. But the problem is it doesn't last. She needs to feed on teenage boys to keep healthy and beautiful. "You're killing people?" "No. I'm killing boys."

Jennifer's Body is such a fun movie with great one liners and slang and it's gory enough to be satisfying and silly enough that you don't take it too seriously but still enjoy yourself. I watched it for the first time when I was a teenage girl so it hits me close to my cold dead heart. But late in my 20's I still enjoy it so much.

There's some beautiful shots in this film, one of my favorites being an overhead shot of Jennifer swimming naked in the lake. Gives me major Jaws vibes. There's also a great shot of Jennifer holding a lighter to her tongue as it burns and heals itself. There's some fantastic scenery, including the final showdown in what looks to be an abandoned pool, and some of the shots in the forests.

It's just a really well done teenage horror film with some believable and relateable characters and some great cameos including Chris Pratt and J.K. Simmons.

I adore this film and even though it is very much of its time, its still a fun watch every time for me. So give Jennifer's Body a watch, or a re-watch and enjoy the ridiculous but beautiful film!

Stay spooky!

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse and this movie IS AMAZING

So I took two vacation days for the first time in like 5 months because my mom is in town and this morning I woke up to realize I had so much free time. I sat there for a bit freaking out and then realized I had all the time in the world to watch horror movies!!! So I did. And I chose Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse.

But first my awesome Halloween sweater arrived from Fright Rags! Their Christmas sweaters went on sale and I snatched this bad boy up for like $12:

Check out their awesome site here and right now they've just released their new Evil Dead collection!

Alright onto the movie!

SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE (2015)

 

All right, scouts. Let's kick some zombie ass!

I FUCKING LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From the opening scene of Blake Anderson lip syncing to Rihanna and setting off the zombie apocalypse to the lead cast to the bad ass female lead to the kills to the dick jokes to the very end. And omg DOLLY PARTON!?!

Scouts Guide was directed by Christopher B. Landon and stars Tye Sheridan as Ben, the lead, Joey Morgan as Augie, the overweight sidekick, and Logan Miller as Carter. The three guys are scouts and Carter and Ben are pretty sick of being so but Augie loves it and so they don't want to let him down. During a special camp out where Augie was to be awarded the highest honor badge, Carter and Ben try to sneak off to a senior party but are caught by Augie who's disappointment made even me feel guilty. When they leave the woods they realize that the entire town has been taken over by zombies.

 gif credit

Along the way the trio pick up a bad ass girl who works at the local strip club, Denise, played by Sarah Dumont. She can wield a shotgun like a pro and doesn't get scared once. I'm in love with her. They set out to rescue Carter's sister who is at the senior party aka a giant rave filled with drunk and high teenagers who haven't quite figured out there's zombies outside yet.

Scouts Guide is so much fun to watch and it's so funny, I was actually snorting out loud at some points. There's a few great one liners that I had to tweet and some hilarious scenes that sound insane when you say them out loud. Like one point where Augie sings Britney Spears to a zombie to calm it down, another scene where there's a zombie cat, and another where Ben is clinging on for dear life to a zombie penis. It's ridiculous but it never gets out of hand.

The main characters are lovable and hilarious and you root for them the whole way through. I think also this movie could've come off really cheesey but it managed to keep itself pretty serious but goofy. The zombie kills were a tone of fun, especially in one of the final scenes when the scouts put together these ridiculous weapons. And though the story is one we've watched a million times, Scouts Guide felt fresh.

I love love love this movie, I will watch it again and again. I highly and aggressively recommend it.

A solid 10/10.

Stay spooooky! I'm off to enjoy my second vacation day :D

I Know What You Did Last Weekend....and it wasn't great...

Hey everyone! Despite the never ending tooth pain I dealt with this weekend which meant no sleep and no food...I ended up having a good weekend otherwise. Just smile and cry through the pain ya'll. Not only did I watch some great horror movies, I picked up some great horror stuurrrff:

Preacher Book One - I want to read the comics before watching the show. And N0S4A2 which is the only Joe Hill book I haven't read yet.

The gorgeous director's cut of Zodiac on blu-ray. The special features includes three documentaries!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's everything I want out of special features. And how beautiful is that cover?!

And I found this gorgeous War of the Worlds record in my alley. It's moving in/out weekend in our apartment building and the surrounding ones so everyone's just dumping their stuff. We also got a good as new TV stand and a rocking chair so I can live Psycho realness.

Anyway, the reason I'm actually here is to talk about a 90's slasher classic:

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER

"Listen, you little shit-stick-mayberry-ass reject. There's been a murder, and you are going to fry in hell if you ignore it!"

Coming out in 1997, I Know What You Did Last Summer was one of the last great slasher's that came out of the 90's. It's based off of the young adult novel by the same name, written by Lois Duncan. It stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr in the lead roles. All four of them were massive stars in the 90's and that just shows how prominent horror was in that decade. The screenplay was written by the same guy who wrote Scream, Kevin Williamson, and was directed by Jim Gillespie

There was a terrible sequel a year later, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, but we're not here to talk about that.

IKWYDLS tells the story of four high-school seniors who are celebrating the end of the school year and the beginning of summer. After a rowdy party and a get together at the beach, the four of them pile into Barry's car (Phillipe). While driving down a twisted road and all screaming and partying, they hit a person. Julie (Hewitt) thinks they should call the cops but Ray (Prinze), Helen (Gellar) and Barry come to the conclusion that hiding it would be much easier. So the teens dump the body in the ocean and begin to move on with their lives.

One year later, Julie arrives home for summer from her college and finds a threatening note that reads....you guessed it..."I know what you did last summer". The four friends have to band together despite everything and try and solve the mystery of who it is they apparently didn't kill, while people around them begin to get killed one by one.

This was a staples of the 90's. I remember watching it at like 13 years old and just being so terrified and loving every moment of it. But unfortunately, for me, it doesn't hold up. Scream will always hold up for me and is fun to watch no matter what. But as this was my first time watching IKWYDLS in probably ten years or so, I was looking at it with fresh eyes. I couldn't remember who the killer was or really much of the story. I found myself getting quite bored. There's also not as many kills in the film as I remember, and the story of the killer and who they are is kind of garbage? If you really think about it, it doesn't make too much sense.

The kills themselves are fun, the weapon of choice is a fish hook so there's lots of gutting. And there's lots of those fun moments where you're yelling at the screen...DON'T GO IN THERE YOU IDIOT or JUST JUMP OVERBOARD YOU WEIRDO...etc.

I think the only reason I like this movie is because I have fond memories of watching it in my basement as a kid, with the lights off, getting super freaked out.

I would say....watch it if you haven't. But if you have fond memories of watching it in the 90's....don't re-watch it.

Alright, I'm off to go bury myself in blankets and cry about tooth pain and how I can't just eat a giant bag of chips. I've got a big pile of DVD's sitting by my TV and a few on my desktop to get to. Reviews to come!

Stay spooky!

Murder Crows, Alien Covenants, and Michael Myers?

It's a very gloomy and rainy Saturday here in Vancouver and I'm up very early with tooth pain, because this is the bane of my existence. So let's talk about some horror news from the week!!

HORROR NEWS OF THE WEEK WRAP UP

Right now somewhere in the world (New Zealand I think?) Ridley Scott is filming Alien: Covenant. We've heard lots of gossip and chat about how this film will be and we've all seen some great concept art. But today we get our first officially released shot from set. The photo is of a production monitor and shows Katherine Waterston laying against the wall with a weapon against her leg:

Alien: Covenant if of course the sequel to Prometheus which was released in 2012. The new film will be the second in a trilogy and is set on a remote planet where the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is of course...not what it seems.

The cast will be made up of Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterson, Demian Bichir, Danny McBride, Alex England, Billy Crudup, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Carmen Ejogo and Callie Hernandez. 
In a recent interview, Michael Fassbender who will be returning as David, mentioned that the sets have "an old school element where things look battered..." And when asked about David returning, Fassbender said "He is creepy. And he's back in a whole new way." 

Oh, and! Scott has mentioned that we will be seeing all the fan favorites; the egg, facehugger, and chestburster. SAY IT AINT SO THIS IS TOO BEAUTIFUL!


Rated a "hard R", look for Alien: Covenant next year on August 4th. 

If you've read this blog...you know I absolutely adore Stephen King. BUT...I cannot stand the obsession with making Stephen King stories into unnecessary TV shows. But low and behold, here comes the next one:

In 2014 King put out the first book in a new trilogy (the third coming out next month) called Mr. Mercedes about a psychopath who wants to blow up a concert filled with thousands of people, mostly young girls (it's a One Direction type band). Bill Hodges, a retired detective, is our lead who is sent mysterious mail from someone threatening a massive attack and must try and stop this from happening.

Now it's being turned into a TV series by the dude who created Ally McBeal and Boston Legal....David E. Kelley. His only toe into horror is that he wrote the Lake Placid movie. Attached as the stars are Brendan Gleeson from 28 Days Later and Anton Yelchin from Fright Night. It's going straight to series with a 10 episode order and will premier in 2018.

All I'm going to say is....WHY? WHAT IS THE POINT? The books are amazing and a thrill ride to read (now I really want to re-read this before the final book next month) and it will not work as a TV series.

ANGERRRRRRRRR

Also, something a little fun....
Here in Vancouver we have a famous crow called Canuck. He can be spotted by the red band that's around his ankle and he's known for being incredibly friendly but also a bit of a pain around here.

Canuck is constantly fucking with the police by flying into their police cars and trying to steal the keys off of the keyboards, he tears down police tape. Canuck has also gotten onto the sky train before and gone for a ride, attacked a cyclist, and tries to appear in news interviews by landing on reporter's shoulders. He's kind of the best.

Canuck is in the news again this week because after the VPD responded to a car fire in a parking lot, they were confronted by a man armed with a knife. The man came running at the officers who then shot him and took him into custody. Canuck decided to help out by grabbing the knife, which is an important piece of evidence, and tried to fly away with it. Oh, Canuck, you adorable murder crow.

(this is not the knife from the crime scene, this is another knife that Canuck found. He seems to really like them....)

AND NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS OF ALL....

Michael Myers is coming home ya'll!!!!!!!!!! After launching in 1978, spawning 7 sequels, one remake with its own sequel....it's finally coming back.

Only this time it's in the safest hands - Jason Blum (founder of Blumhouse) working with franchise producer Malek Akkad and Miramax and Trancas International Films.

Oh yeah....and John Carpenter himself is signed on as an Executive Producer. Jason Blum describes him as the "Godfather" of the project. Carpenter, at the press conference, said "Halloween needs to return to its traditions, I feel like the movies have gotten away from that...Michael is not just a human being; he's a force of nature, like the wind. That's what makes him so scary."

Obviously this is all in its earliest stages but Blum mentioned that the film would be produced on a modest budget, which Carpenter prefers. "38 years later, I'm going to help to try to make the tenth sequel the scariest of them all." It's also rumored that Carpenter will be composing the music for the film which would just be the cherry on top of this perfect cake.

So yeah, that's pretty amazing. It's been a good week in horror! I'm going to venture out into the rain and go dive into the $5 bins at Best Buy to see if I can find any horror goodies, and also pick up The Witch.

Stay spooky!

Man Vs. terrible CG effects

Guys, I watched a movie last night. I went in blindly. And it took a really bad left turn 3/4's of the way through and I was not prepared.
The movie I'm talking about...

MAN VS. 

Man Vs. is a Canadian horror film directed and co-written by Adam Massey who uses a nice mix of "found-footage" and regular format to twist a tale of a man stranded in the woods. Chris Diamantopoulos stars in the lead (and basically only) role in the film and does a tremendous job. I know him from playing the handsome sound guy in The Office. But he's also been in Arrested Development, Episodes, and About a Boy. 

Alright I'm just going to give you a run down of this film because I don't want to review it badly. I'm happy I watched it and I enjoyed most of it. So bare with me.

Obviously....spoilers.

I got so invested in the story because most of it is so well done and that makes the ending so much more of a let down. It follows Doug, a Bear Grylls rip off, who gets dropped off into the northern Ontario wilderness with some cameras and has to "fend for himself" for five days for his TV show. But during the first night he hears a loud bang and feels what he thinks is an earthquake and in the morning discovers what looks to be a crash path of something large. Immediately I'm like YASSS UFO!!!!!! Soon after there's a great scene where Doug approaches the lake where the crash path seems to end and there's tones of floating dead fish. A wolf appears on the other side but refuses to eat the fish, leaving Doug completely freaked out that there's something wrong with the water. It's harrowing.

As the days progress the satellite phone stops working, his traps are ransacked leaving Doug starving, and someone keeps fucking with his little chess set he plays with to keep himself occupied. Doug now realizes that whoever is fucking with him has to be a person, some backwoods psycho redneck, as he calls them. I'm sitting there like, oh sweet baby angel no...this is clearly aliens.

Running out of food, scared for his well being, Doug begins to hike to the drop off point where his TV crew should be picking him up soon. But along the way he discovers another camp site and there's this really intense scene where Doug goes to hide when he hears noises in the bushes and you realize he's inside a human trap. Like the traps he makes to capture rabbits...but human size!! I was straight up yelling DOUG GET OUTTA THE TRAP YOU FOOL.

When he reaches the drop off point he sets up his cameras all around him to capture whoever is doing this but when he wakes up he finds his cameras have all been tilted down. He loses it and starts screaming and throwing a tantrum. Then something just smacks him and blows him right into the lake. Scared the crap out of me, honestly. He comes out of the water bleeding out of every damn hole in his face and starts to run to base camp.

This is when things start to fall apart. You see, up until this point, our only glimpse of whatever is stalking Doug has been hidden. You see a few brief glimpses of a tall, human like figure that flash by. It works SO well. But then when they finally reveal what's stalking Doug....an alien...it all falls apart completely.

It's some damn awful CG alien/robot hybrid thing. It's awful...AWFUL. It instantly pulled me from the movie and the story which I was completely invested. And although the story held itself up, the alien/robot hybrid thing just ruined everything. What should've been a heart dropping ending turned into a 'is this over yet?' mess.

I'm super bummed.

Basically...Man Vs. is a slow, satisfying build with a scary feel and a shit ending destroyed purely by effects. Watch at your own risk, but give it a shot..purely for the first 45 minutes.

6/10

The Boy (2016) and another reason not to keep dolls around your home

Guys! I finally watched the other The Boy movie. And although it didn't even come close to last years' The Boy (check out my review here), it was super fun!

I've been hearing nothing but bad news about it which I should have learned by now will ALWAYS happen when a horror movie is well marketed and has big names behind it. Horror fans love to hate the mainstream. I was listening to the new Shock Waves episode and they all praised The Boy for being a good time. So I decided to just watch it at some point and sort my own opinion out. Then this evening I went over to a friends' house and low and behold a few of us ended up watching The Boy.

So...let's talk about it!

THE BOY (2016)

 

You wouldn't hurt me, would you, Brahms?  

Originally this film was going to be titled The Inhabitant or In a Dark Place, which are pretty terrible titles, but would've have helped with my constant references between the two movies of the same name. It came out at the beginning of this year and is now available on DVD and VOD. It was directed by William Brent Bell (who also directed The Devil Inside) and written by Stacey Delay, and filmed nearby in Victoria.

It stars Lauren Cohan (Supernatural, The Walking Dead) as the lead character Greta who has traveled from America to the UK to be a nanny for an older couple's young child. But when she arrives at their beautiful old home she discovers the child is actually a doll named Brahms. Which is a terrible name. Turns out the real Brahms died in a mysterious fire 20 years ago when he was just 8 years old. The old couple, after saying many incriminating and cryptic things, leave on a holiday, leaving Greta alone with Brahms and a long list of rules she must abide by.

Malcom (Rupert Evans), is a grocer who comes by once a week with...you guessed it...groceries. He befriends Greta and the two team together in fear as Brahms seems to come to life, terrorizing the house.

Complaints? 

The 'twist' was glaringly obvious to the average horror viewer. The things that the old couple were saying to Greta at the beginning were basically just them saying "THIS IS THE TWIST AREN'T WE CLEVER?".

For a horror film there was a surprising lack of gore or even murder. It was very dry. They relied purely on jump scares that mostly fell short. It was...for lack of a better word...not very horrific. It's like a ghost movie for babies.

There just seemed to be a lack of substance...it just felt...kind of hollow?

Loved?

The film was beautiful to look at. The scenery was creepy and stunning, the lighting did wonders to change the mood when needed. There was a great scene where the camera is focused on Brahms' face and it's lit up with a warm sunlight, then the camera begins to turn and the sunlight turns to dark shadows underneath Brahms eyes and it really gave me chills.

The house was great! Exactly what you want to see in a horror movie set in an old house. Beautiful decor, lots of creepy stuffed birds, strange wood carvings etc etc. It was filmed at Craigdarroch Castle which I've been begging Mitch to take me to because it's supposedly haunted in real life.

Lauren Cohan did a great job leading the film. She's a power house and a phenomenal actor and stunningly beautiful. Even Rupert Evans a sidekick did a great, believable job. You're rooting for the two of them to survive. The old couple, played by Jim Norton and Diana Hardcastle were really fun to watch! They creeped me out more than the doll tbh.

So to wrap it all up, if you want a fun and quick film to pass the time? Watch this. If you want to watch a real horror movie that's deep and meaningful and terrifying...watch The Boy from last year (2015.)

I'm giving it a 6/10. Probably won't watch again, but would recommend it to non-horror fans looking to be scared.

In other news - I showed Mitch House of 1000 Corpses the other night because we got the bluray. I was super excited to watch all the extras on it but they were shit! Like a 5 minute 'making of'. Garbage. Tonight I have two movies that have been sitting on my desktop for AGES that I am determined to watch; Man Vs. and Holidays. Hopefully review those soon.

Stay spooky!
