October of Horror

We also watched House Of Wax after Paranormal Activity since it was on. I have actually seen some parts of the movie before but finally I watched the whole movie. There were some interesting kill scenes and that house of wax was pretty epic. But otherwise it wasn't much of a masterpiece. Pretty basic for this genre.

Uh, where to start from... I did not like it. It wasn't even on the Halloween watch list but I just happened to watch it on TV whilst in London. My friend was completely terrified of the whole film and was literally watching the bed scenes with her hands on her face just peeking a little bit between her fingers. And then yelling and asking what happened.

I've never been much of a superstitious person but I do get what scares people here. Things invading in our personal space and mind are terrifying. But I just didn't find it to be that shocking or even entertaining. Mainly just annoying and boring. I also found myself thinking that this is just another basic horror/thriller movie where you're just internally yelling instructions to the stupid people in the movie. The only part I kind of liked was the one where the "ghost" dragged Katie from their bed. I had no expectations so it was neither a disappointment nor a pleasant surprise for me.

I think just a bit overrated. The bad guy characters were interesting but otherwise I didn't find it to be that startling.

It was kind of distracting that the score of the movie was so close to the one in Psycho. But otherwise a nice piece of splatter and humor, it's just that I wasn't that intrigued on a personal level. Still, not bad at all. This was recommended by Quote Unquote Sir, so thanks !

This just happened to be on TV so I decided to watch it. Wasn't really that spectacular, and OK movie to pass the time. I always end up watching shitty movies on TV rather than watching the ones I've been meaning to watch for a while.

That is pretty damn disgusting. But also fun. Lots of fun. And this leg gun thingy has to be one of the most awesome things ever.

To be honest, I was expecting this to be good. I've heard such great things and everyone seems to be quite obsessed about it. It was indeed spectacular, especially the performance of our beloved Gary Oldman. There was just one thing that caused me to drop that one star out of five stars... The ending. That did not go the way I wanted, I guess. I get it that the movie was centered around the love of Dracula and his wife but I found that the ending was rather boring. I was expecting them to be happy together, being an awesome vampire couple and such. In a way the ending was much more poetic than the one I wanted but I guess I'm kind of simple person in that way... I don't always want a beautifully poetic ending to a great story. But anyways, awesome movie, I am ashamed I took way too much time to watch this.

Even better than the first one.

Quite mesmerizing this one. Even though it's centered around the bullying subject, it seemed to differ so much form the typical kind of movie about bullying. It also felt so real, no matter where you live, as long as you've gone to school, you know there was that Carrie kid in your school too. Might not have the same powers, you never know, but that kid was harassed and teased but she/he probably never did anything about it. In movies we have mysterious powers but in real life we have guns, knives... all the proper things to hurt those who hurt you.

Brian De Palma does such a great job bringing the characters to life and choosing the right actors to portray those characters. It's scary to be inside the mind of the tortured girl Carrie.

Another random movie watched because it was on TV.

I actually found that this Suicide dude was one of the funniest parts of the film, mainly because he is completely like this friend of mine. It's hilarious how similar he is.

The movie was pretty hilarious but often just not my cup of tea.

Quite different. I'm not at all sure what to think.

Well. Didn't really know what to expect so I am kind of speechless here.

So much fun, loved the characters and all in all it was a good movie.

Now why the fuck have I put off watching this film so long... I should've taken the hint when I watched Bad Taste and loved it. But nope, I did not. But I'm glad I finally checked this film out, and it was the kind of epic stuff I was kinda expecting. Peter Jackson is definitely some sort of a mad genius, and especially when he didn't have the money for all the fancy LOTR special effects. Dead Alive was just a beautiful mess of horror and comedy and to be honest, this kind of humor is my kind of humor. So the first movie was epic, I'm hoping the next one will be as good as this.
