Baskin

Terror Blurbs! Part II (An Ever-Expanding List) (100 movies items)

"Plot: A group of policemen investigating a disturbance inadvertently step into a mind-breaking crossing of dimensions. This Turkish plunge into surreal, Lovecraftian madness will scorch its shocking moments into your mind with unforgiving relish. Much like the original "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre", this feels less like a traditional film and more like you're strapped into a hellish rollercoaster, helpless to experience the horrors to which the protagonists are exposed to. But these are not s"

Movies I watched in March 2019 (30 movies items)

" Date: 3/28/2019 Viewed: Amazon Prime (Rental) First viewing Note: I was very impressed by this movie on how awesome it was. This movie has a likable cast of characters and the acting was very good.

I have seen this considered quite bloody and intense on many horror lists and sites. So I figured I would give it a shot. It's quite an insane and odd film. It's not quite as gory as I had expected, but it still had its moments. The villain was insane and it's crazy to know he didn't need make up. It makes him even more interesting.
