Cell

Will this be the end of the world? 

It has been years since I read the book so it is a little hard to compare them but this movie is good and the story behind it is really great. Aren't we a little too busy on our phones everyday and sometimes forget to live in the real world? 

Stephen King was no doubt thinking this when he wrote the book (and that book is about 10 years old and see how much that has happened since) 

Well, suddenly a pulse is send out through cell phones and manipulates the human brains. You can say they reach some sort of zombie mode as they clearly don't feel pain or anything. And at night they reboot! How weird is that? How these people work is a good question but there is a master, someone that controls them and the few survivors dream about him. He is filthy and wears a red hoodie. 

During this movie two guys and a young woman try to hunt him down and all while they struggle with surviving the infected people. 

The young woman doesn't make it and yeah... Let's say one of the men is not lucky either though he seems very happy to find his son. 

And what will happen? This movie has an open ending, if you will call it an ending... Well it is a little weird. 

Thing is in some way a movie that I have mixed feelings about, I feel like it's worth watching because the beginning is good but at the same time I feel like it was somewhat a waste of time. 

Anyways, you can choose wether you want to watch this or not. 

Have a spooky day! 

 

Split

Do not cover your scars, they might save you one day.

This movie met criticism for not knowing enough about mental illnesses but who actually knows about that? Our brain is one of the most complicated things and we only use what 10% of it? So what is the rest of our brain capable off?

This might contain a few spoilers, now you are warned.

Kevin has nothing but 23 personalities and each personality is different from one another. There's the artist, the child, the woman living in her zen and the pervert who loves to watch teenage girls dance and suffers from OCD. These are the personalities we are mostly presented to but we also meet one that suffers from diabetes.

Kevin is well hidden and there's a reason, he is weak. The abuse he faced as a child has made him hide inside himself behind these different people. His psychiatrist is the only one who understands him and seems to be able to communicate with him on his level until one day when he kidnaps three teenage girls and keeps them locked up.
One of the girls, one that used to be the outsider at school seems to understand him but they also have faced similar childhood traumatizing. You slowly get to know her inform of flashbacks and what you see will disturb your head. And it can turn you into a hardcore feminist if you aren't one already.

The two other girls are less lucky when Kevin's 24th personality shows up. He is not human and he is hungry; hungry for flesh. These two girls are spoiled brads and they never had anything to complain about (but no doubt they have done it anyways)

The movie is not really scary. You can say if you look deeper into what this movie is about then maybe it is scary but it is not a movie that will make you unable to sleep at night.

James McAvoy really does a great job playing these many roles and making all of the characters unique and I wonder how he so well can hide his thick Scottish accent?

It is a great movie and it makes me positive towards what other new horror movies 2017 will bring.
Go watch this, you will not regret it.

Stay terrified!

 

Desperation

Amazed.

Yes I am. I rarely watch a movie based on a Stephen King book where I am thinking this one really follows the book. The book is epic and I did not have high expectations to the movie (after watching The Running Man I stopped these expectations)

But this one made it. Desperation is really a dead town and you will wonder what happened to all the people and why the only living one is a big cop who is kind of insane.
Kind of? He says he is a wolf, he says directly that he is going to kill the people he arrests.
He leaves a dead girl at the doorsteps just for show off. He says weird stuff and he always says Tak. And even more weird, he loves the writer he arrests but suddenly he hates him and beats him? Wth?

Entrigian as his name is is falling apart. What do you do when you fall apart? You switch to a new body, what else?
And God is gone, Tak is God.
Lucky for the prisoners the little boy is brave enough to escape though a dog is on watch and can easily kill him. Apparently the poor boy is about to see stuff that kids shouldn't see.
The writer should be happy that his assistance is far behind and he has picked up a hitchhiker who finds Desperation on a map. It takes some time though before they find the prison escapers and they are brought to an almost safe place.
The old vet in town seems to know that what's going on in the town has something to do with reopening the old mine.

I do not want to spoil too much but when you read history books you always read talks about how good your people where and how cruel "the others where." The Vet should have done better research as no slaves were treated fair.
So will they get out alive, will they fight Tak and what can they do?
I will let you watch the rest, it is a cool movie.
Scary, no, but cool.

Have fun.

Gingerdead man

So that's how you celebrate the Holidays.

You bake a gingerbread man and then he comes to life and kills people?
Sounds awesome to me ;)

Well, can I say anything but this movie is a joke, if it was suppose to be scary then all I can say is, you failed in every way!
How was this suppose to be taken serious?
He kills a couple of bakers and well yeah he can drive! How many cakes can drive a car?

I love to watch the Elvira's movie macabre version where she suddenly interrupts and says "I told you gluten kills you."
That is just epic.
Haha, I will say if you are in for a good laugh then watch this movie but do not waist your time on it if you want a good scare, that's for sure.
Watch it next Christmas as you might find the Christmas spirit while watching it.

Have fun!

Haven

Wow, someone really wanted to solve what happened to the Colorado kid.

Have you read the book? It is the most frustrating book Stephen King has ever written and I get why the makers of this TV show wanted to make something big out of it.
It is an amazing mystery and then there are the side stories. This is like a cool forensic show, I love forensic shows but this one contains supernatural stuff and mysteries too and that just makes it even better. Who's Audrey? What is it with the barn that is her punishment and who is lucy? Everything is so weird and then there are the "troubles" why are they all in Haven? And why is Audrey immune? This is the suspense and questions you have for this TV show all the way and it catches you so much you cannot do anything but watch it all the time. It is about as addictive as many other TV shows.

But then season 5 came along... Hmmm. Yeah what can I say? I do not like it as much as liked the other seasons. It went on to be weird and kinda out of line. It focuses on Audrey... Lucy, Marta, Lexi and all the other personalities she has. I guess she suffers from serious schizophrenia.

Anyways, watch this TV show, you won't regret it!

Have fun.

Silence Dead

Never call anyone a dummy, EVER!

And do not scream when you see the old ugly doll lady ghost thing. This movie is kinda awesome. I was surprised that it is from 2007, it looked more like something from the 70's. I think I was too busy looking at their clothes... Typical me to focus on the wrong things.
The doll comes out of nowhere and is just left on the doorstep, I had absolutely not welcomed it to my home as a "child". Ew, just no. I hate dolls. Yes, I played with action men as a child.

Anyways, I can really recommend to watch this movie. It is not scary like every other horror movie I have watched but I really like the plot. And as I always say, fanaticims is never good for anything and this crazy old lady is no exception. She is like crazy cat lady just with dolls instead of cats. She doesn't just make dolls of boys, she doesn't just collect dolls she also wants to become a doll. Isn't that crazy? Well, I collect paranormal figurines but I would not like to be one... Just kidding, I would love to be a witch or a vampire :P

Anyways, if you have nothing better to do this weekend, knock yourself down on the couch and watch a lot of crappy horror movies.

Have fun and unpleasant dreams ;)
