The Houses October Built (2014)
Keeps you guessing
As soon as I realised that this was yet another 'found footage' style horror, my expectations were immediately lowered. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this particular attempt. The story managed to keep my interest until the very end, the cast done a great job and some of the characters really creeped me out, especially some of the clowns. It also had me guessing right up until the very end whether the characters lives were actually really in danger or whether the whole thing was some kind of elaborate Halloween prank. If you're a big horror fan like myself then I'd definitely recommend seeing this, however once would probably be enough for most people....
La Entidad (2015)
Definitely worth a look
My initial reaction to a foreign language, found footage style film was one of disinterest & after the first few minutes of watching it, I wasn't overly enthusiastic about continuing. But I'm glad I did. I can always tell that I'm watching a good foreign language film when I forget that I'm reading the subtitles because I'm so wrapped up in the plot. Don't get me wrong, the film isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination. It doesn't really add anything new to an already too common genre of horror. But it works. The cast do a good job & the plot managed to keep my interest throughout. If you're like myself & are willing to give any horror film a go, then I'd recommend checking this out. It won't win any awards but it's a hell of a lot better than some of the recent found footage horrors I've seen of late.
Muck (2015)
I'm going against the grain, personally I loved it
First off, having read the majority of the previous reviews for this film, it's obviously not everybody's cup of tea. That said, I thought I'd give it a go anyway & have to say that I'm glad I did. I struggle to understand how this film has such a low rating from so many reviews?!?! The film is full of clichés & gratuitous nudity & to be fair it does feel as though the first 20 minutes of the film are missing. But it didn't take me long to pick up what was happening & I thought the mix of comedic moments & gratuitous gore/nudity were great. It's a fun, tongue in cheek, horror film. If you want serious horror, it's not for you. If you're going to sit there & ask yourself why a man whose friends have been brutally murdered has stopped at a bar for a drink, or to perv on a half naked woman whilst he's searching for help, it's not for you. If you want a silly, over the top, blood/gore/T&A fest, give it a go. You won't be disappointed. Personally, I loved it & eagerly await a sequel.
