The Silence of the Lambs

Just got back from seeing The Forest starring Natalie Dormer.

I really enjoyed it. Some weak jump scares but there are a couple of effective ones in there. It also has a pretty decent psychological aspect. Bit predictable especially if you watch a lot of Japanese horrors but it was good.

Also I have a huge crush on Natalie Dormer so I enjoyed that too!

Krampus (2015)
"Twisted fairytale horseshit!" like one of the characters says.

-The story's weak.
-Sometimes the German's subtitled, sometimes it ain't, then the person speaks English.
-They got Krampus all wrong.

It ain't that hard to get it right.
You take the movie Sint, replace Saint Nicholas with Krampus,
change the location to a small snowy village and bam!
Some small changes and you got yourself a decent Krampus movie.

Now who's gonna fund my kickstarter?

The Witch

Overall, I liked it, but hated the ending. Eggers could have done a MUCH better job with the way it ended. Personally, I would have ended it with her walking into the woods.

8/10

Solid and entertaining western journey horror adventure film, with some pleasant low key character subtlety.

what did you think? Looks cool, but the trailer and plot review is hard to grasp.

The Witch (2015)

Ever since seeing the trailer a few months ago, I've been dying to see The Witch. It calls to mind recent arthouse horror movies like The Babadook and Goodnight Mommy, but The Witch is far scarier than those movies. It's a grim, perverse, and disturbing tale of religious paranoia among a crumbling family that will surely be remembered alongside the likes of Rosemary's Baby and The Omen. The Witch takes place in 17th century in Puritan-era New England. A family is excommunicated from their village and settles on the edge of a vast forest. Soon thereafter, their baby goes missing into the woods, and the family is torn apart by accusations of witchcraft, black magic and possession. From the first ten minutes, The Witch has a morose atmosphere and starts out with an incredibly disturbing scene. The initial shock is carried through the next few scenes which are dialog-heavy and slower, causing the dread to continue to the next horror. The terror never lets up and only amplifies as the plot progresses until the final 20 minutes are agonizing to watch. It's perversely scary. I could only vaguely tell you how the movie ended because I was watching through my fingers. The acting is fantastic from the entire cast, especially from the child actors. They're given heavy stuff to work with and pull it off with unsettling results. Along with amazing cinematography and an ominous score, it'll be difficult to find a better horror movie than The Witch this year. It'll leave you shaking.

Damn. Usually when you give a movie a 10, I don't like the movie.
