[First one to me was like, just okay decent found footages movies and some of of those stories to be a little to short and little to boring,
However in this sequel, I found that segment had enough time and I didn't find one of them boring at all. Tape 49 The movie start of with two investigators looking got a missing male student, so end up searching the home and then enter find a number of tapes just like first one. Male looks around and lady then who see laptop and recording of boy is tell her how the stranger the tapes. So she puts the tape one Phase I Clinical Trials A man just had his eye installed with a camera after a car accident took his sight in this eye and it more of POV kinda of think this one. But soon everything fine, until it was about go to bed and stranger things start happen first and then he start to seeing the dead. This segment did make me jump and I did find this one to be really creepy at times and the make up effect for the ghost were very good and they did look scary. I really enjoyed this one and I really liked how the story came to a end ,, 8 out of 10 A Ride in the Park (The second segment) THis shot entirely with a "Go Pro" camera mounted on a helmet, while this man riding his bike and then suddenly he see a women covered in blood screaming for help, not know what wrong she get sick and then she attack him and What ever she had , he had passed to him and now as also become a Zombie. I didn't find this boring but there was some very gutsy scenes in this segment and I didn't really like how this segment came to end. The zombie make up effect was really decent and I think this one could I have been a bit more bloody. 6 out of 10 Safe Haven This segment was the best of the a lot and it's the longest one as well, there segment had subtitled in most of it and the most Craziest segment I have Ever seen! New crew who wanted documentary and they allowed to go in, they take r hidden cameras on buttons of the crew's shirts. It's start of normal and I didn't like the whole drama of crew, which ends up being part of the story but then it fitted in with the rest of cult think. This one of very strange and very creepy and really gory in this segment and one of the most bizarre scenes you will ever see in this segment. This one will creepy you and then grossed you and then it will make up laugh your freaking head off like you never have before. 10/10 Slumber Party Alien Abduction As not good as the last segment but it was still really good and this a lot better the whole movie of Unware (2010) should have been like this. This start with Camera on a dog and while mum and dad going and family get up silly pranks for first part of the movie. Until they see a blue flashing light that blinds them and soon are be terrorised by Aliens and some Aliens attack here really well done. This some really good tense moment as well and Aliens do look really good and effect in this one was really good. I loved it! 9/10 Back to Tape 49 I didn't really like how they ended this one, they try to go go for shock factor but I don't think worked. 8 out of 10 Last edited by The Horror fan; 06-08-2013 at 05:56 AM. |

I thought it was pretty good too. However, I learned something interesting this week -- haven't verified that it's true. I heard that it was originally done with practical effects, using the same team that did the effects for Tremors. Then at the last minute they decided to switch to CG, and redid all the creature effects. I would have preferred the practical effects. The movie was good though, and didn't disappoint, despite having a lot to live up to.

I went to see Epic last night with my son. It was beautifully animated and had some laughworthy moments. Overall I enjoyed it despite it's thin story and uninspired characterizations.
Then when I got home I watched Final Fantasy: The Spirits within. Another beautifully animated film that I think got an unfair response. Personally, I really liked it and think it's quite underrated. |

The Hunger Games and Silver Linnings Playbook. I finally got to see these (for the first time). I enjoyed both films.

I agree. That is one of the funniest horror comedies I have ever seen. I sort of found it by accident. I was going through Netflix and I sometimes put on obscure, stupid sounding horror movies (to annoy my friend), so I did and I found out that this movie was actually really good (and hilarious). Anyway, it is definitely very good.

I watched that at the theaters on Friday and, I on the other hand, was highly impressed. I thought the movie was as good as its premise. I thought it was both entertaining and intellectually stimulating (due to its exploration of human nature and morality). I was really surprised by all the negative reaction. I don't consider it a masterpiece, but still really good. I would rate it about four (out of five) stars.

The Monk (2011)
![]() Decent horror/thriller based on the 1796 Gothic novel by Matthew Lewis. Lots of disturbing revelations though a tad slow at points. A well-told story of how even seemingly incorruptible men can descend into madness; sanity is a slippery term. 3.5 stars out of 5. |

![]() Bug Starring Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon and Harry Connick Jr. A great movie about paranoia and how one can be easily led on by someone with extremely strong convictions, regardless of how out of place or utterly false they are (or are they?). Ashley Judd and Michael Shannon give excellent performances in William Freidkin's best picture (imo) since The Exorcist itself. Based on an off-broadway play by the same name written by Tracy Letts. Michael Shannon reprises his stage role as Peter, a stranger with a scarred and potentially dangerous past. Starting out as an unassuming stranger invited to the motel home of Agnes (Ashley Judd), an isolated and deeply troubled individual living in constant fear of her abusive and manipulative ex-husband, Jerry. As their relationship starts out, Peter is seen as a guardian angel sent almost serendipitously from the heavens. He comforts. He doesn't ask for anything. He is near painfully perceptive. As things go along though, there is something terribly wrong and as Peter pulls Agnes under his wing and under his influence they both begin a descent into absolute madness. One of the things I found most absorbing about the film is the element of "out of the frying pan and into the fire" that builds as the movie goes on. With excellent performances, a challenging and disturbing premise about paranoia and the dangers of letting people into your life and Friedkin's expert understanding of the material and how to make the absolute best of his minimal sets this is one of the great unsung heroes in recent film history; and while things get a little absurd in the last act, I feel that it's only the logical progression and this film definitely gets my utmost reccommendation. 5/5 |

Orphan- I finally got around to watching this one after it sat collecting dust in my collection for over a year. I was pleasantly surprised by it, as it's definitely one of the best "evil child" movies I've seen. It has effective scares, good performances (especially by Vera Farmiga as "Esther") and a very unsettling atmosphere throughout. While it does bow to convention and cliche at times, it's still worth a watch. 4/5
