Buried Alive (2007)
Buried Alive: A Sexy and Sleek Teenage Horror Flick
Im so glad that Dimension Films, one of my favorite companies, released this kick ass slasher flick. Im came across this flick last October and i read about it and the DVD artwork is sweet!! This flick featured some gruesome and inventive death scenes and a very creepy ghost killer. This movie did have the typical horror movie storyline, a group of college kids terrorized by a killer at a remote location, but this flick, the killer is a angry spirit. It is centered on a group of college friends Erin Lokitz, Leah Rachel, Terence Jay, Steve Sandvoss, Lindsey Scott, Germaine De Leon and it featured Tobin Bell as the creepy caretaker of the home that the friends plan to party in for the weekend deep in the desert. Its not too long fro the slicing and dicing to happen, as a family curse takes it's toll on the group. This movie really freaked me out, so definitely check it out!!
30 Days of Night (2007)
Scariest Vampire Flick Ever!!
30 Days of Night scared the living hell out of me, I went to see it when it first came out in October and it is the perfect Halloween movie. Im not a huge fan of vampire movies, but this one is awesome, i mean, i haven't seen a scary vampire flick since John Carpenters Vampires. This movie had Hollywood favorites Josh Hartnett(Halloween H20, The Faculty, and Wicker Park) and Melissa George(The Amityville Horror, Derailed and Turistas) as a few of the remaining townspeople, who are left to fight off a species of vicious vampires, who take over their town, which is surrounded by darkness for 30 days. Danny Huston(Children of Men) and Megan Franich portrayed the most vicious vampires that i have ever seen, as the leaders of the group. This film also starred Amber Sainsbury(The Ferryman) and Mark Rendall(Charlie Bartlett), as two teenage survivors fighting to survive in this graphic blood fest. Its definitely worth checking out!!
The Hitcher (2007)
The Hitcher: One Hell of a Remake
The Hitcher kicked major ass! I enjoyed it more than the original. This movie had a truly twisted madman and featured some of the most death defying stunts and white knuckle thrills. Sean Bean(National Treasure), delivered one of the most terrifying performances that i have ever seen. He plays a truly haunting stranger, who is picked up by a young college couple Sophia Bush(One Tree Hill and Stay Alive) and Zachary Knoghton(Cherry Falls), who are on their way to celebrate their spring break with some friends. Once they discover what this evil man's motives are, they ditch him, but he keeps showing up and trying to pin his gruesome murder spree on them. This movie kicks off with a bloody bang and doesn't let up until the harrowing ending. I definitely recommend this flick for fans of the action horror thriller genre.
Return to Sleepaway Camp (2008)
Sleepaway Camp: Horror Comedy Flick Kicks Ass!
I was so happy to have come across this film, being that there hasn't been a sleepaway camp movie since the late 80's and I remember that those flicks use to scare me as a kid, but they rocked. I read negative reviews on this flick and I was like let me be the judge of that, i mean really, i have seen some horrible films in my time, but this one wasn't really that bad. It had some sexy cast members, as camp counselors being picked off one by one after a prank on a unpopular kid backfires. The older three, weren't that graphic and gory as this one is, I loved it. Return to Sleepaway Camp, was a wild thrill ride and I definitely recommend it!
Day of the Dead (2008)
Day Of The Dead: Hard As Nails Remake!!
I was excited when I came across this movie, because the old one used to scare the hell out of me when I was little kid. This movie totally kicked ass. The zombies in this flick were more fierce and faster then anything ever seen before. It is a pure fright-fest that scares up a storm. This movie had a unique cast that you probably wouldn't normally see in a zombie flick, including Mena Suvari(American Pie 1&2), Nick Cannon(Drumline), AnnaLynne McCord(The Haunting of Molly Hartley & 90210), Michael Welch(All the Boys Love Mandy Lane and Twilight), Stark Sands(Generation Kill), Christa Campbell(The Wicker Man and 2001 Maniacs), Matt Rippy(Boogeyman 3) and Ving Rhames(Dawn of the Dead and Animal). This movie features some gruesome special effects and a new breed of gut slinging zombies and is very fast paced and intense and will have you jump out of your seat as these zombies ravish a small town and a group of survivors fight to stay alive. I definitely recommend this hard core flick. It kicks ass!!
I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (2006)
A Killer Trilogy
For not having any of the original cast members of the previous I Know What You Did Last Summer films in this, it lives up to the previous two and i loved it. I just wish that this flick would of been released in the theaters, i think that it would of done real well. This movie had a terrific cast led by Brooke Nevin(2009's Infestation and The Comebacks), Torrey DeVitto(Killer Movie and One Tree Hill), David Paetkau(Aliens vs Predator 2, Final Destination 2 and Flashpoint) and other really hot cast members, running from an unseen serial killer, who stalks them one year after they cover up the accidental death of a friend and begins to strike without warning again and again. This flick is a great stalker shocker, guaranteed to thrill horror fans everywhere. I definitely recommend it!!
Rest Stop: Don't Look Back (2008)
Rest Stop 2: A Gruesome Sequel
I recently came across this movie, and i had to buy, only because of how awesome the first one is. The first time I watched Rest Stop, i was like wow, i couldn't believe the amount of violence and carnage in it. So when i watched Rest Stop 2, the amount of violence is even greater. Some scenes were harder than hell to watch. Im just glad that it follows the first one, where a returning soldier Richard Tillman(The Day The Earth Stood Still) and his girlfriend Jessie Ward(Wicked Wicked Games), set out to look for his missing brother Joey Mendicino(Rest Stop) and his girlfriend, and wind up encountering the psychotic fanatical family and the murderous truck driver. This film shows how the killer came to be and who he was in the first film. This movie is hardcore and brutal, so I only recommend it to die hard horror fans!
Solstice (2008)
Solstice : A PG-13 Teenage Thriller
I first watched this movie when i bought it a couple of months back and i was excited to see that is rated PG-13, which told me that its not going to be a gore flick with a lot of horror violence, but a creepy teenage thriller. It is spooky and harrowing. Im a huge horror buff, but I occasionally like some non violent and supernatural flicks. Solstice featured a spooky story line and a great teenage cast, including Elisabeth Harnois(90210 and One Tree Hill), Shawn Ashmore(The Ruins), Hilarie Burton(One Tree Hill and The Secret Life of Bees), Amanda Seyfried(Alpha Dog, Mean Girls and the Upcoming 2009 Teenage Horror Flick Jennifer's Body), Matt O'Leary(Death Sentence and 2009's Sorority Row) and Tyler Hoechlin(Grizzly Rage and 7th Heaven). This flick has all of the horror elements, like a group of friends celebrating at a house in the wilderness and then being terrorized by a masked killer, only this one has a supernatural twist to it. A group of close friends decide to spend the weekend at a friends family's home deep in the wilderness to celebrate their graduation, only to be caught up in a series of supernatural occurrences and an ancient voodoo ceremony, that places the friends in mortal danger. They must discover the dark secret that binds them together and the recent death of their friend. This movie terrified me and I definitely recommend it!!
Scarce (2008)
A Snow Boarding Slasher Flick! Very Entertaining!
I recently watched this flick online and let me tell you, it was pretty awesome. Some excellent kills and chase scenes. This movie sort of reminded me of Wrong Turn and Shredder. It had the snow boarding part, like in shredder, then it had the cannibalism part, like in Wrong Turn. It also had a pretty decent storyline about a group of friends who are stoked for a weekend of snowboarding and partying, only to be stranded in the mountains. When they come across a lodge, they decide to seek shelter, only to be stalked by a group of vicious cannibals. If you aren't a huge fan of extreme violence and gore, then might want to skip out on this flick, but I do recommend it to other hardcore horror fans.
From Within (2008)
A Terrifying New Spin On Teenage Suicide
I recently went and saw this movie during the after dark horror-fest weekend and I was really impressed. Before I went to see it, I really didn't have a clue to what it was suppose to be about and I was shocked. This movie had thrills and chills, mixed with an excellent cast of young and rising stars. Elizabeth Rice(Odd Girl Out) stars as a teen who arrives back to her home town and is caught up in a mystery, when a strange rash of suicides begin to claim her friends and other teens in the town. A truly disturbing performance by Steven Culp(Jason goes To Hell:The Final Friday) as a creepy, but yet intriguing pastor who may be behind the series of violent suicides. This slick teenage flick also stars Rumer Willis(The House Bunny) and Margo Harshman(Simon Says and Legacy), both appearing in the 2009 horror remake, Sorority Row. Other impressionable stars of this flick are, Thomas Dekkar(The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Brittany Robertson(Swingtown), Kelly Blatz(Prom Night), Laura Allen(Dirt and The 4400) and Adam Goldberg(Zodiac). I really liked this movie and i cant wait for it's March DVD release. It's Definitely worth checking out!
Slaughter (2009)
AfterDark Horrorfest 2009: Slaughter
If you want to see a psychological shocker, then Slaughter is the flick to see. I recently saw this movie during the after dark 2009 horror-fest and I really liked it. It doesn't have a whole lot of gore in it, but it is pretty violent. The reason that it gets its name, is because of the slaughter house on this farm, where unspeakable acts are being committed. It pretty much focuses on a young woman, who flees from a violent relationship and meets another lonely young woman, who lives on a farm and has a bad relationship with her father. when she arrives on the farm, she uncovers disturbing family secrets that are about to break out and destroy her. This movie is very suspenseful and diabolical. I cant wait for it's DVD release in March, it is definitely worth checking out!
Lake Dead (2007)
A Terrifying Trip!
I gave this movie 9 stars out of Ten, only because the story line resembles other flicks like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Timber Falls. I went and seen this at a theater when they they had the After Dark Horrorfest playing, and I was really impressed. I went into it thinking that its gonna be a cheesy gore-fest, but it proved me wrong. I mean it had some bloody and violent parts, but it actually is a decent flick. The acting was decent, especially for the fact that the actors weren't really known. When three sisters Kelsey Crane, Kelsey Weeden(Detour) and Tara Gerard inherit some property deep in the country, they and a group of their friends Alex A. Quinn, Malea Richardson, Vanessa Viola and Jim Devotti decide to take a weekend off and check it out. They end up finding a beautiful camping ground and a huge lake and think that it is going to be a weekend that none of them are ever going to forget, until they encounter a family of psychos living on the property. This movie is intense and brutal, so I definitely recommend this flick to everyone.
Halloween (2007)
Halloween : A Kick Ass Remake
If you want to have the living daylights scared out of you, then i recommend that you check this hard core horror flick out! I'd like to say first, that I'm a huge fan of Rob Zombie and Sheri Moon Zombie, he brought us House of 1000 Corpses and The Devils Rejects and she played in them. Those two movies rock, so check them out if you haven't already. The Halloween movies are the only scary flicks that scare the hell out of me. This movie showed a fierce and more darker side to Michael Meyers, played by Tyler Mane, who brought the hulking menace to life. I loved the new Laurie Strode, played by Scout Taylor Compton(April Fools Day), she added wit and depth to her character and displayed the true meaning of terror. Awesome Job! I was also excited by Danielle Harris's character, Annie, and Danielle Harris played Jamie Lloyd in Halloween 4 and 5, when she was a kid, so I was excited to see that she came back to be a part of the new Halloween. Other great cast members are Malcolm McDowell, as Dr. Sam Loomis, Kristina Klebe as Lynda, Hanna Hall as Judith Myers, William Forsythe as Ronnie, Daeg Faerch as the young Michael Myers, Leslie Easterbrook and horror movie favorite, Bill Moseley, Dee Wallace Stone as Cynthia Strode and Sheri Moon Zombie(The Devil's Rejects and The Toolbox Murderes) as Deborah Myers. Rob zombie and John Carpenter both have their own unique spin on Michael myers, however, Rob Zombie focused on how he grew up and what kind of life he had, as the basis for how he turns out. as for the rest of it, he breaks out and returns to his home town to find his baby sister, now a young teenager, who has no idea about her first families dark past, until Halloween night. Michel Myers in John Carpenters classic, was an evil night stalker and the new Micheal Myers is killing machine. This movie is brutal, sexy and scary as hell, one of the best remakes that i've seen in years, so definitely check this fright-fest out!!
Tamara (2005)
Sexy, Sleek and Satisfying
I recommend that anyone who comes across Tamara, to rent or buy it. Jenna Dewan(Step Up and Take the Lead), did an amazing job by playing Tamara, she went from a shy loner to a sexy indestructible witch, who gets rid of anyone in her way of expressing her love for a teacher. She even had me scared in a few parts, especially some of the things that she does to the teenagers Melissa Elias(Falcon Beach), Bryan Clark, Gil Hacohen and Mark Devigne, who are the ones responsible for her death and resurrection. As she terrorizes a teacher Matthew Marsden(Anacondas 2), whom she is obsessed with, and his wife Claudette Mink(2009's Upcoming horror series Harpers Island), her only two friends Katie Stuart(Wild Things 2 and Black Out) and Chad Faust(Saved and Heroes), must discover a way to stop her before anyone else dies. This movie has hot and sexy and gut-wrenching. I surprised that there wasn't any nudity, but the sexual going ons in this flick was intense. I figured that she would just cast spells on her tormentors, I had no clue how bloody it was going to be. This movie rocked and reminded me of The Craft, so definitely check Tamara out!!
Hit and Run (2009)
Hit and Run: Don't Drink and Drive!
Alright, I really enjoyed this movie, but it compared to I Know What You Did Last Summer. This movie featured the hot Lauara Breckenridge, recently seen in 2009's Amusement. In this stalker shocker, she plays a college student who is trying to enjoy spring break and winds up having too much to drink one night a a bar. Believing that she is good enough to drive, she winds up accidentally hitting a man on a dark road, but doesn't realize it until she gets home. After trying to cover up the accident, she and those around her begin to be stalked at every turn. I really enjoyed this clever thriller and i definitely recommend it those who are looking for a movie to watch with friends. Also, the DVD cover is really neat!!
Vacancy 2: The First Cut (2008)
Another Kick Ass Sequel
I just recently came across Vacancy 2 and since I love and have the first one, I had to buy the second one and I was really impressed. I don't know which one I like better, they both scared the hell out of me. In this one, it goes back and shows how the psychopaths got involved in making snuff films, so this one is suppose to take place before Vacancy. This one centers on a group of friends, Agnes Bruckner, Trevor Wright and Arjay Smith and others encounter a team of psychos, who have rigged the motel with cameras and plan to butcher the friends for profit. Its pretty sick. After watching this movie, it sort of reminds me of The Strangers. This film had some jump out of your seat moments. I recommend both Vacancy and Vacancy 2, they are really intense thrillers that scare you down to the bone.
House (2008)
House Delivers Chills and Thrills
This movie rocked. I recently watched it and I was impressed. It wasn't your average slice and dice flick, it some nifty kills in it, but it is more a psychological thriller. It is centered on a young couple Reynaldo Rosales and Heidi Dippold, who come across a house after being stranded on a country road, there they meet another couple J.P. Davis and Julie Ann Emery, who are also seeking shelter from the storm. What they don't know, is that this house is home to a vicious psychopath, who engages the them in a twisted game of survival. This movie was pretty sweet and it had Rob Zombie's actors, Bill Moseley, Leslie Easterbrook and Lew Temple in it. So, all in all, it wasn't a bad movie and I definitely recommend it.
Venom (2005)
Voodoo Flick Kicks Ass
I just decided to write about this movie, since I own it and watch all of the time. Venom is fast paced horror thriller from Dimension Films. It combines blood and gore with a dark voodoo atmosphere. It has a hot young cast of rising stars, especially a favorite actress of mine Agnes Bruckner(Kill Theory and Vacancy 2). Other cast members are Jonathan Jackson(Riding the Bullet), Laura Ramsey(The Ruins and The Covenant), Meagan Good(The Unborn), Bijou Phillips(Hostel 2 and Havoc), Davetta Sherwood, DJ Cotrona and many more. This film had hard core death scenes that have never been shown before and the chase scenes are relentless, with a newly possessed killer that keeps coming and coming until he gets you. Its basically about a group of friends who investigate the death of a friend, and end up getting mixed up in a mix of chills, thrills and surprises. They end up being chased through the swamps by a killer that cannot die. This movie scared the hell out of me and I definitely recommend it!!
Quarantine (2008)
Scary As Hell!
I went to see Quarantine back in October and it literally made me jump out of my seat. The beginning of the movie was scary, but the last half hour of this flick, holy hell!! Congrats to all the cast members, including Jennifer Carpenter(Exorcism of Emily Rose), Steve Harris, Columbus Short(Stomp the Yard), Johnathon Schaech(Prom Night), Dania Ramirez(Heroes) and Jay Hernandez(Lakeview Terrace and Hostel 1&2) and the crew, who worked on this smash hit, i enjoyed every bit of it. It has a dark environment to it, because most of the movie is shot in the dark and there were murderous people jumping out at every turn, it just scared the hell out of me. Screen Gems released this, who also released Prom Night, The Covenant and When A Stranger Calls. This film is scary as hell, it definitely was a plus to see it on the big screen and I recommend this movie to everyone!!
The Hills Have Eyes II (2007)
Kick Ass Sequel
I enjoyed this film very much, even more than the 2006 release The Hills Have Eyes. Don't get me wrong, they both are awesome horror flicks and they are directed by one of favorite directors, Wes Craven. I just felt like the second Hills Have Eyes had more action and intense scenes. The killings were more graphic though. The cast members were great, especially Jessica Stroup(Prom Night and 90210) and Daniella Alonso(Wrong Turn 2) and Michael McMillian. All three of then kicked ass in this flick, as they fought back against the mutant cannibals. This movie really rocked, especially that the national guard trainees are stranded out in the hills and come face to face with a group of vicious mutants in a blood soaked battle for survival. Im hoping for a third installment to come out sometime, but really, check this kick ass film out!!
Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007)
White Knuckle Flick Kicks Major Ass
Let me start by saying, you have to be a die hard horror fan and gore fan, to be able to sit through this chaotic gore-fest. I loved the first one, so I was hoping that the sequel would kick ass, and it did. Great cast members as well, Erica Leerhsen(The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Blair Witch 2), Henry Rollins(The Henry Rollins Show), Kimberly Caldwell(American Idol and TV Guide Hostess), Texas Battle(Final Destination 3 and One Tree Hill), Daniella Alonso(Hills Have Eyes 2 and One Tree Hill), Aleksa Palladino, Crystal Lowe(Black Christmas and Final Destination 3), Steve Braun and others had to fight a family of hideously deformed maniacs who hunt them through the wilderness and are determined to kill them all. This movie is a die hard cannibal gore-fest, so a word of caution before you decide to watch it. It kicks ass!!
Carver (2008)
Terrifying True Story
Before I bought this DVD, i read that it was based on a true story, so i didn't know what to expect, until i watched. I can easily watch horror films, but this one made me flinch. It is centered on a group of friends Matt Carmody, Kristyn Green, Ursula Taherian, Natasha Malinsky, Neil Kubath and a few others, who take a detour and come across a family of deranged killers, who specializes in making snuff films. As the teens are hunted down one by one, they fight to find a way off the mountain so that they become a part of history. This movie was very gritty, gruesome and unbelievable. I only recommend this flick to those who are hardcore horror fans and can stomach every minute of this outrageous horror flick.
Rogue (2007)
Croc Flicks Major Ass
Rogue was a sweet creature movie, I know that that there's been plenty of crocodile movies, but this one takes the cake. The croc has huge and look real. Great job to actors Radha Mitchell(Silent Hill and Pitch Black) and Michael Vartan(Alias and Never Been Kissed) as a few of unlucky travelers who encounter this monstrous crocodile in this fats and fierce scare-fest. Radha Mitchell plays a tour guide and Michael Vartan plays a journalist, who take a group of tourists on a tour of the Australian outback and end up being stranded on a crocodile's territory. With dark coming and the tide rising, they must find a way to get off the island alive. This movie had some scary jump out of your seat moments and showed the fierce side to one of natures perfect killing machine. Check this out!!
Storm Warning (2007)
Kick Ass Horror Flick!!
Wow! This movie really surprised me, i just figured that it was gonna be a gore-fest flick like the Texas Chainsaw Massacres. This one was awesome. It featured a few unrelenting and gruesome death sequences. This movie started with a bloody bang and didn't let up until the final frame. It is centered on a married couple, who become lost at sea during a weekend getaway and are forced to land their boat on a uncharted island, where they witness a drug deal go horribly wrong. Forced to seek shelter at a house, they discover a large amount of drugs and the father and his two sons discover the couple in their house and keep them held hostage there. The couple soon begin a desperate and graphic fight for survival. This tough and brutal flick is directed by Jamie Blanks(Urban Legend and Valentine). Definietely check this flick out and it is a Dimension Films release!! It is sweet!!
Timber Falls (2007)
A Creepy Family Heritage
I just bought this movie and I loved it. It sort of can be compared with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, only this one isn't a total gore-fest and is more of a psychological thriller. A young couple Josh Randall(Scrubs and Pushing Daisies) and Brianna Brown(After Dark Horrorfest 2009 upcoming flick The Lost Tribe) decide to take a weekend off and go camping. They wind up crossing paths with a couple of red neck town drunks, only to find out that they are being stalked by a deformed maniac. They end up being held captive by a religious fanatic and his wife, who cant conceive and want the young couple to get pregnant and give them their baby. The couple end up turning the tables in a bloody fight for survival. This flick has some sweet kill shots, so I definitely recommend this to anyone.
