Halloween Horror Movie Countdown Review: Day 31 - Halloween Franchise

I now I am extremely late, but as you guys all know. It's school. It's always school, kindda ruining all the fun. :( But whatever. So I guess I will give the final review now.

Day 31: Halloween Franchise.

I am mixing up the Plot and Personal Revie wup this time, probably something I will do more in the future. But maybe not, still have to decidee, but thought I would try it out this one time. :-D Hope you like it.

The Plot/Personal Review: Halloween is a classic movie directed by John Carpenter. Starring big stars such as Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie. Donald Pleasance as Dr. Loomis. It also starred: Nancy Kyes as Annie. P.J. Soles as Lynda. Charles Cyphers as Sheriff Brackett. Kyle Richards as Lindsey. Brian Andrews as Tommy. Nancy Stephens as Marion. The sequels starred Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie 3 more times. Donald Pleasance as Dr. Loomis 4 more times. Nancy Stephens as Marion 2 more times. The sequels were all directed by different directors (Rick Rosenthal (2), Tommy Lee Wallace (3). Dwight H. Little (4), Dominique Othenin-Girard (5), Joe Chappelle (6), Steve Miner (7), Rick Rosenthall (8), And my favourite Director 'Rob Zombie' (R1, 2). The sequels starring: Lance Guest as Jimmy. Pamala Susan Shoop as Karen. Ana Alicia as Janet. Tom Atkins as Daniel. Stacey Nelkin as Ellie. Dan O'Herilhy as Cochran. Jonathan Terry as Starker. Danielle Harris (My top 5 favourite actresses) as Jamie. Ellie Cornell (One of my favourite actresses) as Rachel. Kathleen Kinmont as Kelly. Sasha Jenson as Brady. Wendy Foxworth as Tina. Tamara Glynn as Samantha. Matthew Walker as Spitz. Jeffrey Landman as Billy. Paul Rudd as Adult Tommy. Marianne Hagan as Kara. Kim Darby as Debra. Mariah 'O Brien as Beth. Susan Swift as Mary. J.C. Brandy as Adult Jamie. Davin Gardner as Danny. Adam Arkin as Will. Michelle Williams as Molly. Adam Hann-Byrd as Charlie. Jody Lynn O'Keefe as Sarah. LL Cool J as Ronny. Josh Hartnett as John. And believe it or not, Psycho classic Janet Leigh (one of my favourite actresses) as Norma. Bianca Kajlich as Sara. Sean Patrick Thomas as Rudy. Daisy McCrackin as Donna. Katee Sackhoff as Jen. Tyra Banks as Nora. The Remake + sequel starred: Maclom McDowell as Dr. Loomis (1,2). Brad Dourif as Sheriff Brackett. Tyler Mane as Michael Myers. Daeg Faerch as Young Michael Myers. Sheri Moon Zombie (Top 5 Favourite actresses) as Deborah. Hanna Hall as Judith. Kristina Klebe as Lynda. Scout Taylor Compton (One of my favourite actresses) as Laurie. Danielle Harris (Who was also in Halloween 4 and 5 as Jamie now plays Annie. + My Top 5 Favourite Actresses). Anglea Trimbir as Harley. Brea Grant as Mya. The plot is about a young boy (6 years old) killing his sister with a kitchen knife. 20 years later he escapes a mental asylum and makes his way back to Haddonfield to kill the last of his bloodline 'Laurie Strode'. The sequel shows more of Laurie on the same night of the original. The third installment had nothing to do with Michael Myers, so I wont go into it that much. Let's just say it's not as bad as everyone says, but it's also not the best. But it's better then Halloween Resurrection, thats for sure! The fourth insallment informs the fans that Laurie has been killed off. But that there is Jamie Llyod. The daughter of Laurie. Michael has been in a come for 10 years and then wakes up, and makes his way back to Haddonfield to kill the Last of his bloodline 'Jamie Lloyd'. The Fifth installment is again about Jamie. Very comparable to the fourth one.... besides that Jamie is a mute for some reason. But whatever on to the sixth one. The sixth one shows more backstory on the 'cult' Michael is in, and that Michael has a curse hanging over him until he kills his entire bloodline... or something like that. The story was messed up in this, and I personally don't really care about the story while watching this. I usually watch this for the kickass strobe effect. And awesome death scenes! H20, Forgets 3-4-5-6. And shows Laurie Strode 20 years from the second installment. She has a new identity, hoping to forget about Michael... until he returns. Resurrection on the other hand..... damn, so bad! It shows Michael killing Laurie in the opening scene, and then making his way back to his house in haddonfield..... where ofcourse a reality show episode is being filmed with the typical 21st century type cast. An introverted girl, who always survives. The slut, the attention hogger, the nerd, the pervert.... like it's just way to stupid and to top it off they have a lame ass ending. They should have ended it with H20. They got carried away, just to impress the younger audience.... yeah... thats how fucking desperate they were. To mess with a classic, just to satisfy brain dead, unwise little brats.... great! I don't like Resurrection at all. I respect the classics. And would choose those any day compared to the newer ones. But so in a way this is already my personal review. But now onto the remake. The remake, gave ALOT more insight on Michael's past. Some people say they should to much, some say they wanted more and some said it was perfect. i thought it was perfect. Just enough insight to get Michael and feel sympathy for him. The rest of the movie is pretty much just a remake of the original. The sequel to the remake. Alot of people hate it, but I love it. It's one of my favourite movies of all time. They showed the disturbed hallucianations that lead a psychopath to do crazy shit, which I personally respected.... and you got to see more Sheri Moon Zombie cause of it... :-D. And they show the psychological side to it, like the events of the first movie really fucked Laurie up. And shows Laurie slowly becoming psychotic because of a psycic link she has with her brother 'Michael Myers'. People often don't see this movie as it is. They always follow the herd, and say it's bad without giving it a fair chance. I watched it really for what it was, and forgot about all the negative reviews. And I loved it, it's one of my favourites and always will be. But I do have to say it's a very dark and depressing movie, that is pretty much only suited for the real horror fans. Overall I like all the movies alot beside Ressurection, or however you write it. So thanks for reading my reviews, and I will be back very soon with more horror/thriller/paranormal movies. :-D Stay tuned!

Halloween Horror Movie Countdown Reviews: Day 27-28-29-30 (Silent Hill 1,2) (Hostel Trilogy) (The Hills Have Eyes 1,2 + R1,2) (Friday the 13th Franchise)

Sorry guys. Damn school got in the way, and really blocked my way. But now that its weekend I will finish it. This post will be all the 5 days I haven't got to yet. 

Day 27: Silent Hill 1 + 2

                                  

The Plot: Silent Hill is a movie directed by Christophe Gans. Starring: Radha Mitchell as Rose. Sean Bean as Christopher. Laurie Holden as Cybil. Deborah Kara Unger as Dahlia. Alice Krige as Christabella. Jodelle Ferland as Sharon/Allesa. The sequel (Silent Hill: Revelation) was directed by Michael J. Basset. (Starring Sean Bean again. Adelaide Clemens as Heather/Allessa. Kit Harrington as Vincent. Carrie Anne Moss as Claudia. Malcom McDowell as Leonard. The Plot of Silent Hill, is about a little girl, that constantly sleep walks, and always talks about a town named Silent Hill in her sleep. The Mom decides to take her there, they find out that the town is abandoned, they decide to secretley enter the foggy abandoned town. And soon find themselves stuck in a different dimension within the town. The sequel shows the little girl from the original but then as a teenager. She and her dad have been running away time after time with every new location a new identity. She starts getting her dreams again, and her dad gets kidnapped. And now it's Heather's duty to save her dad from Silent Hill.

Personal Review: I loved both of the movies, they are both creative and creepy. Espicially that scene with the nurses in the sequel, very creepy and nervewracking!! I like the original more, also the ending of the original, really was an open ending, it was a very creepy open ending. The sequel was way more focused on Silent Hill's creatures. The original was about Silent Hill and it's history. But the sequel really went all out. They are both very good movies, that I would watch anyday. :-D

Day 28: Hostel Trilogy 

                                 

The Plot: Hostel is a movie directed by Eli Roth. Starring: Jay Hernandez as Paxton. Derek Richardson as Josh. Eythor Gudjonsson as Oli. Barbara Nedeljakova as Natalya. Jana Kaderabkova as Svetlana. Jennifer Lim as Kana. Jan Vlasák as Dutch Buisnessman. The Sequels were directed by Eli Roth (2) and Scott Spiegel (3). Starring: (Again Jay Hernandez as Paxton.) Lauren German as Beth. Roger Bart as Stuart. Heather Matarazzo as Lorna. Bijou Phillips as Whitney. Kip Pardue as Carter. Brian Hallisay as Scott. John Hensley as Justin. Sarah Habel as Kendra. Chris Coy as Travis. Skyler Stone as Mike. The plot of Hostel is that 3 guys on a trip through europe are lead to a hostel hotel in Slovakia. And while there, they are slowly lured and kindapped to get tortured by an illegal coorperation. Psycho's pay thousands to millions, just to be able to release their fantasies out on innocent people. So the coorperation kidnaps innocent people and puts them up to bid. The highest bidder, get's to release his wildest imaganations out on that person. By torturing them slowly. The sequel has the same standars, but this time with Girls instead of with guys. The Third one, was a bit different then the others. It's set in Las Vegas. The first 2 did great in the box office. But by Eli Roth not wanting anything to do with the series after the sequel. The Hostel series was put to rest for awhile... a little too long, cause people started forgetting. And that led for Hostel Part 3, to be a straight to dvd movie. And no theatrical release like the first two.

Personal Review: I like the movies, they are pretty sick. But it does make people aware of that their are sick people out their, that do this kind of stuff. It really does mess with you're head throughout the movie. The movies have no mercy, and don't mess around. This alongside with Saw and House of 1000 Corpses was the beggining of the Torture-Porn era. Overall I like the movies, they are kind of sick. But in a way you have respect for the makers on showing the world that the stuff that happens in this movie, can happen to anyone anywhere. It's kind of creepy and makes you think twice before doing stuff.

Day 29: The Hills Have Eyes 1+ 1 + R1 + 2 

                                 

The Plot: The Hills Have Eyes is a movie directed by Horror Master Wes Craven. Starring: John Steadman as Fred. Robert Houston as Bobby. Janus Blythe as Ruby. Suze Lanier-Bramlett as Brenda. Russ Grieve as Bob. Virginia Vincent as Ethel. Dee Wallace as Lynne. Michael Berryman as Pluto. The Sequel was directed also by Wes Craven srtarring yet again Janus Blythe as Ruby. Robert Houston as Bobby. Michael Berryman as Pluto. And starring: Tamara Stafford as Cass. Kevin Spirtas as Roy. Colleen Riley as Jane. Penny Johnson as Sue. John Laughlin as Hulk. Willard Pugh as Foster. The 2006 Remake was directed by Alexandre Aja. Starring: Aaron Stanford as Doug. Kathleen Quinlan as Ethel. Vinessa Shaw as Lynn. Emilie de Ravin as Brenda. Dan Byrd as Bobby. The Sequel to the Remake was Directed by Martin Weisz. Starring: Philip Pavel as Foster. Lee Thompson Young as Delmar. Daniella Alonso (One of my favourite actresses) as Missy. Jessica Stroup (In my 3 All Time favourite actresses) as Amber. The plot in the original movie is about a family on their way to California for a vaction, but soon find themselves stranded in the middle of the dessert. Having no idea that they ar ebeing watched by the hills. The sequel continues the story of the original survivors, with some new people in it on their way to a Dirt Bike race, but they also find them selves stranded in the desert... Yeah it's pretty much the same story. The Remake is pretty much a shot by shot remake until the last quarter of the movie, then it goes more into a gore direction. With alot of blood. Similair to Evil Dead having more blood then the original Evil Dead.... alot more blood. The sequel to the remake, wasn't like dby many. This time it was about national guard trainees in the hills. 

Personal Review: The Original + The Remake, were good. I liked them both alot. But the sequels were weak. And the carachters were one dimensional (Besides Jessica Stroup <3) But they just felt weak, like not mucht thinking went into changing it around which was a bummer. But I would watch them again anyday. They are all good.

Aaron Yoo as Chewie. Arlen Escarpeta as Lawrence. Ben Feldman as Richie. Julianna Guill as Bree. The Original Friday the 13th is about a group of camp counselers being stalked by a mysterious killer. Who ends up being the mom of a little boy who drowned in the lake many years before wanting revenge on the camp counselers for not paying attention while her son was drowning. The sequel is about the little boy Jason (Who is now grown up) actually didn't die in the lake. And he comes back for unfinished buisness from his mother. The Third Installment introduces the audience to the iconic hockey mask. The Fourth Installment was a bit more creative and thought out then 2 and 3. It was very much liked by pretty much everyone who seen it, this was also the movie that introduced us to Tommy Jarvis. The Fifth Installment continues the story of Tommy Jarvis, but this time in a halfway house still traumatized by Jason. The movie had mix feelings, as the killer wasn't Jason, but a copycat killer. The Motive was understandable, and not just out of the blue which is a + point. But I think what many people didn't like was that their was no Jason. I personally didn't mind, I thought it was creative and a nice twist. But the sixth installment continues Tommy's story. And Jason get's brought back to life... Alot of people were happy about that. It was the begininning of Zombie Jason. The Seventh Installment is about a girl with telekenisis powers fighting Jason. Many people call it Jason vs Carrie. The Eighth Installment, took Jason to Manhattan.... well on a boat mostly, but whatever. The Ninth Installment is about Jason possessing people to do his dirty work. The Tenth Installment: Jason X..... It's in space, thats all you need to know, it sucks! The Eleventh installment is Freddy vs Jason. This movie was very much loved by horror fans. The 2 Greatest Horror Icons battling it out. Who wouldn't like that. And the Remake was a remake of 1-4 As it started the movie with Jason's Mother, and the first quarter of the movie it showed jason with a Sack over his head, just like in Part 2. And later on fidning the Hockey Mask, like in Part 3. And showing the guy who is trying to find his missing sister. Like the fourth one. So it was creative. I personally loved it. The Box Office was great for all the movies. Not one movie was straight to video/dvd. Which proves that there is still plenty of Jason to come.

Personal Review: I love the first one the most. I love 2-3-4-5. They are very good. 6-7-8-9-10 I don't really like. I just find it extremely fake, unbelievable. and it sidetracks from what the normal Jason actually is. The Freddy vs Jason idea was great. I love that movie and always will. The Remake was also very very good. The sex scene was a bit over the top and not very needed. But whatever, I would have liked to see more of Jason's mother. But everybody wanted to see the iconic Jason, and not his mother. So the decided to just remake 2-3-4 in the process to satisfy the audience. And they sure did that. It was great. I like almost all the movies. I always skip 9 and 10, I can't remember the last time I watched those 2, they were that horrible! But the other 10 I love them all and would watch them anyday!!

I know I am a bit late, and I am sorry for that! Damn school never gives me a break. But I will have Day 31 up very soon. Most likely tomorrow, and if not tomorrow then the next day. Thanks for visiting my page. :-D

Halloween Horror Movie Countdown Reviews: Day 26 - Wrong Turn Franchise.

Sorry guys, I won't be able to do Day 27-28 or 29 today, as school is in the way. But I will make sure that I have them tomorrow, and this is a promise! But for now I have Day 26 up.

Day 26: Wrong Turn Franchise

The Plot: Wrong Turn is a movie directed by Rob Schmidt starring: Desmond Harrington as Chris. Eliza Dushku as Jessie. Emmanuelle Chriqui as Carly. Kevin Zegers as Evan. Lindy Booth as Francine. Julian Richings as Three Finger. Ted Clark as One Eye. Gary Robbins as Garry Robbins as Saw Tooth. The Sequels were directed by different producers such as: Joe Lynch (2), Declan O'Brein (3-4-5). Starring: Erica Leehrsen (One of my favourite actresses) as Nina. Henry Rollins as Dale. Texas Battle (One of my favourite Actors) as Jake. Aleksa Palladino as Mara. Daniella Alonso as Amber. Steve Braun as Jonesy. Matthew Currie Holmes as M.  Crystal Lowe as Elena. Tom Frederic as Nate. Janet Montgomery as Alex. Gil Kolirin as Floyd. Christian Contreras as Willy. Jennifer Pudavick as Kenia. Tenika Davis as Sara. Kaitlyn Leeb as Bridget. Terra Vnesa as Jenna. Dean Armstrong as Daniel. Victor Zinck Jr. as Kyle. Doug Bradley as Maynard. Camilla Arfwedson as Angela. Simon Ginty as Billy. Roxanne McKee as Lita. Paul Luebke as Gus. Oliver Hoare as Julian. The Original is about Chris, on his way to a meeting for work stuck in a traffic jam. He decides to turn around and take a different route. While taking that different route he accidentley crashes into a group of stranger's car, as there tires were flat due to barbed wire. 4 of the people decide to look for some help, while the other 2 stay by the cars and get killed, by sadistic disfigured cannibals who have been in-breeding for generations long. Who are also after the other 4 people who left the cars. The sequel, was a big hit, even though it didn't make the big screen, many people liked it. The third installment was a step down from the other 2. Alot of people felt dissapointed as there were to many men who were all 1 dimensional assholes. But seen the circumstances, it's understandable, but alot of people still didn't like it. The Fourth Installment, wasn't liked either due to poor acting and stupid descisions made by the charachters. The Fifth installment, was liked a bit more than 3 and 4. This movie focused more on the Gore factor, more so then the other ones which were already gory. Overall they are good films, with a few flwas here and there. But the fanbase is still big, and alot of people still have hope in the Franchise.

Personal Review: I personally love all the movies they all have gore, which I personally like now and then. Alot of people say that there are to much Wrong Turns, but I would personally love to see some more Wrong Turn's. I loved the original, they had very good actors! The sequel, also had very good and famous actors in it, I personally liked it, but not as much as the original. The third installment, was a bit of a let down to me. There were just too much men!! The Fourth installment I personally loved alot, I loved the change of scenery... but I have to agree the acting in this movie has to probably be the weakest of all 5. But the plot was very cool, and I just loved the scenery it was amazing!! The Fifth installment, was also a very good one, the scene where one of the cannibals was playing with the girls insides. It had a few shocking and cruel deaths, that stepped up compared to the other ones. And I liked the scenery in this one to. I love all the wrong turns, and always will love them. Tomorrow I will be fully caught up with the dates, that I promise you guys. Thanks for visiting my page :-D.

Halloween Horror Movie Countdown Reviews: Day 24-25 (The Shining - The Exorsism of Emily Rose)

Day 24: The Shining

                                                   

The Plot: The Shining is a movie directed by Stanley Kubrick and written by the Horror King 'Stephen King'. Starring: Jack Nicholson as Jack. Shelly Duvall as Wendy. Danny Llyod as Danny. Scatman Crothers as Dick. The plot is about Jack, a man with a troubled past gets a job as care taker at the Overlook Hotel, which is closed for the Winter. Him and his Wife + Son, move to the Overlook Hotel for the winter, while there, an evil precense starts to possess Jack. And Danny starts seeing apparitions of dead people. Soon Jack snaps and tries to kill his family. The Shining is a classic, to this day many people say that this is the scariest movie to ever be made. It did great in the Box Office too. And now that Stephen King wrote a sequel, who knows... maybe we'll see Danny as a grown up on the Big Screen soon!

Personal Review: I love this movie, It is one of my favourite movies. Everything about it is scary. The Music, the setting. It just gives you chills. Jack Nicholson's acting was very good, probably the best acting in a horror movie. It was very good. This movie will always be in my favourites, I just can't get enough of it! :-D

Day 25: The Exorsism of Emily Rose
                                                     
The Plot: The Exorsism of Emily Rose is a movie directed by Scott Derrickson starring: Laura Linney as Erin. Tom Wilkinson as Moore. Campbell Scott as Ethan. Jennifer Carpenter (One of my favourite actresses) as Emily. Colm Feore as Karl. Joshua Close as Jason. The plot is about a lawyer taking on a case about a preist perofrming an exorsism that went terribly wrong. The priest is accused of murder. Throughout the movie it often shows 3 things. Mostly the hearing. It occasionally shows Flashbacks of how Emily's possession grew. And then it shows sometimes how much the case is messing with the lawyer's head. This movie got alot of positive reviews. As it isn't a typical possession movie. It is not trying to be The Exorsist or any other possesion movie. It's an original piece of work, that can only be used once. So it's very unieke. It was perfectly paced, and the story pulled you in right away. The Box Office did great with this movie. It is a loved movie and always will be.

Personal Review: I personally love this movie. It's creative, it doesn't feel like a copycat of any other movies. It's it's own movie. The acting was extremely good, Oscar worthy. It was just an extremely well made movie, that was exciting and scary and fun at the same time. It's a movie that I will always love!

Halloween Horror Movie Countdown Reviews: Day 21-22-23 (Chucky Franchise, Paranormal Activity Quadrilogy. Grave Encounters 1 + 2)

Day 21: Child's Play (Chucky) Franchise.

The Plot: Child's Play is a movie directed by Tom Holland. Starring: Alex Vincent as Andy. Catherine Hicks as Karen. Chris Sarandon as Mike. Brad Dourif as Charles Lee Ray/ (voice of) Chucky. The sequels were directed by all different directors such as: John Lafia. Jack Bender. Ronny Yu. Don Mancini (Who also wrote all of the movies). The sequels starred: Yet again Alex Vincent as Andy, and Brad Dourif as Charles Lee Ray/ (voice of) Chucky. Also featuring: Jenny Agutter as Joanne. Gerrit Graham as Phil. Christine Elise (One of my favourite actresses) as Kyle. Justin Whalin as Teenage Andy. Perrey Reeves as De Silva. Jeremy Sylvers as Tyler. Jennifer Tilly as Tiffany and herself. Katherine Heigl as Jade. Nick Stabile as Jesse. Billy Boyd as (voice of) Glen/Glenda. Redman as Himself. Hannah Spearritt as Joan. Fiona Dourif as Nica. Chantal Quesnelle as Sarah. Danielle Bisutti as Barb. A Martinez as Frank. Maitland McConnell as Jill. Brennan Elliot. The Original is about a little boy Andy, who gets a Good Guy Doll for his Birthday. But as soon as he gets the doll, terrible stuff start to happen. And before he knows it he is in a battle to stay alive. The second and third movie follows Andy, the little boy from the original being stalked by Chucky again. The fourth installment focuses more on Chucky. Bride of Chucky. Chucky and Tiffany just goin around killin people. The seed of Chucky. Chucky has a kid, who doesn't like killing. So Chucky and Tiffany decide to teach they're kid how to kill people. And then there's the Curse of Chucky which came out just a few weeks ago. The first movie to not have a Theatrical Release due to poor income from Seed of Chucky. The Curse of Chucky, goes back to it's dark roots, and shows Chucky and his dark side again. They are all good movies, which made Chucky to what he is today, a Horror Icon. Everybody knows Chucky. :-D

Personal Review: I love the original, it's creepy and exciting. The Second one, I love even more, I used to watch Child's Play 2 soo much times when I was little, I loved it so much, and still do! Child's Play 3, is not really my favourite, it sure has it's scares, it's just the setting and everything just felt a bit off. And the ending wasn't satisfying! Bride of Chucky, was okay. It for sure isn't my favourite, but I still like it. Seed of Chucky though... that's a whole other story, this is just terrible, its a straight up Comedy, no Horror is involved. I was very dissapointed. But the Curse of Chucky was a bit of fresh air for the Franchise, it was good! And Fiona Dourif who is the daughter of Brad Dourif (Chucky) in real life. But her acting was amazing, she really made a big impression, probably the best acting in a Chucky Movie! I did find myself a bit frustarated at times watching the Curse of Chucky, and didn't feel satisfied. But, it was the scene after the credits, that made up for the poor ending. Andy Barclay, the little boy from the original, all grown up, to fight Chucky one last time!! It was so cool, to see him all grown up!! Overall I liked all the movies besides Seed of Chucky being a bit less. Soon I will give a more detailed review with Personal Rating :-D.

Day 22: Paranormal Activity Quadrilogy

                           

The Plot: Paranormal Activity is a movie directed and written by Oren Peli. Starring: Katie Featherston as Katie. Micah Slot as Micah. The sequels were directed by different directors such as: Tod Williams. Henry Joost. Ariel Schulman. Starring: Katie Featherson again and other stars such as: Brian Boland as Daniel. Molly Ephraim as Ali. Seth Ginsberg as Brad. Sprague Grayden as Kristi. Lauren Bittner as Julie. Chris Smith as Dennis. Chloe Csengery as Young Katie. Jessica Brown as Young Kristi. Kathryn Newton as Alex. Matt Shively as Ben. Aiden Lovekamp as Wyatt. Brady Allen as Robbie/Hunter. The Original is about a couple moving into a new house, and slowly start to notice Paranormal Activity, they film everything. Katie slowly gets possessed, until there's nothing anyone can do to help her. The Sequels are all just backstories and contuations of the Original. Like the Second Installment begins as a Prequel and ends as a Follow up to the Original. The Third Installment is a Prequel that show's Katie and Kristi as children. And the Fourth Installment is not so much focused on Katie and Kristi anymore but more on the son of Kristi, that was kidnapped by Katie in the sequel. So Katie and Kristi's son (Hunter) move across the street of Alex, and it shows how Hunter stalks the family of Alex. And the demon's he possesses. The Fifth.... well let's just say the Marked Ones is coming out in January, it's pretty much an alone standing movie, not much to do with the other 4. But All the movies did great in the box office, and the series still has a huge fan base, that are begging for more. 

Personal Review: I personally liked the original better. The sequel was okay, not to spectacular. The third one, was creepy. But a little too unbelievable, because in 1 and 2, they didn't really mention much about their childhood, just little parts, where you could kind of figure out that they already noticed something back then. But it was a little too extreme to a point where you think 'How could they have forgotten that, to not mention it in 1 and 2' So that pretty much shows they made it up on the spot. It's a nice Prequel but it's kind of out of nowhere. I personally don't like Movie Franchise's that do that. That 1 in Prequel they all of a sudden mention and show stuff that wasn't even mentioned in the others. So but I think you guys get my point. And now onto the Fourth Installment. The Fourth one, was different, as it didn't show Katie or Kristi that much. I liked it that they continued with the Whole Kidnapping plot that the second one ended with, and that it showed how Katie and Hunter moved on. But storywise, it didn't bring much to the table. Besides continuing the story of Hunter, but for the rest pretty much nothing. They were all good and enjoyable. I am kind of excited for the Marked Ones, but there aren't gonna be any High Expectations for me with that one. Paranormal Activity 5, comes out late 2014. Which continues the story of Katie.

Day 23: Grave Encounters (Original + Sequel)

                         

The Plot: Grave Encounters is a movie directed by The Vicious Brothers. And the sequel being directed by John Poliquin. The Original Starred: Ben Wilkinson as Jerry. Sean Rogerson as Lance. Ashleigh Gryzko as Sasha. Merwin Mondesir as T.C. Juan Riedinger as Matt. The sequel starred: Richard Harmon as Alex. Dylan Playfair as Trevor. Stephanie Bennett as Tessa. Howie Lai as Jared. Leanne Lapp as Jennifer. The original is about a Ghost Hunting crew that goes and investagates in Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital, which has been abandonned for years. And soon they find themselves locked in the building, and everything evil inside it. The sequel shows fans of the movie breaking into the Hospital to take a look for themselves, and also find themselves locked in. But ofcourse the Makers of the movie wanted something new, so they took the Fantasy route, and made it into something way different then the original, which some people lvoed and other people hated. 

Personal Review: I remember the original freaking me out the first time I watched it. I was very excited for the sequel, I was a bit let down. it didn't quite live up to the Original. But I appreciated the attempt to change it around. They are overall good movies that you guys should watch! 

Thanks for visiting my page. I will be fully updated by tonight or tomorrow. i know I promised it yesterday... but ofcourse I found a little Homework I still needed to make.... But I will be caught up before Halloween, that's for sure!!!

Horror Movie Countdown Reviews - Day 18 (Cabin in the Woods) Day 19 (Insidious) Day 20 (Sinister)

So sorry for the delay. I have been very very busy with school, this week isn't as busy, so I will be up to date with everything. So I am going to divide my reviews in 3 parts today on catching up.First I am gonna do Day 18-19-20 and in a few hours I will do 21-22-23 and then a few hours after that 24-25 and then make a seperate post for Day 26, meaning I am completely up to date! So let's get started.

Day 18: Cabin in the Woods.

The Plot: The Plot is not like a typical horror slasher, as probably everyone thought by the title. It's something completely different. The Cabin in the Woods is a movie directed by Drew Goddard starring: One of my childhood's favourite actress. Anna Hutchison as Jules. Kristen Connolly as Dana. Chris Hemsworth as Curt. Fran Kranz as Marty. Jesse Williams as Holden. Richard Jenkins as Sitterson. Bradley Whitford as Hadley. The movie starts off with Bradley and Hadley talking. And then changes over to the teens of the movie. They are going to a cabin in the woods for a weekend. They ignore all the warnings, just like a typical slasher. While there, they are just fooling around being teens. Until they find stuff in the basement. Then the real horror can begin. So the whole movie is actually Sitterson and Hadley controlling everything that happens there by the cabin and everything around it. In the lab with a keyboard thingie. They have alot of people betting on who will die next. It's kind of weird. Sitterson has a specific order on how the teens have to die. Cause if it doesn't happen the way it is suppossed to, the god's or devil's (dont really know what they are) come up from under the ground and destroy everything alive. Kind of giving the audience a new way to look at slashers, that they all had to follow specific rules, in a way mocking all of the older slasher movies (That instead of trying something new, they went with the cliché's) But this movie explains it in an extremely laughable way, that just totally makes the movie. The last movie to actually make fun of cliché's was Scream and yet 16 years later The Cabin in the Woods comes along with a total extreme. It's an entertaining movie, and it has alot of wtf moments! I can't really explain it, as you guys see, I ain't doin a great job :p But that's cause this movie is pretty much impossible to explain, you just have to watch it yourself. The Cabin in the Woods, is a good movie, that did very good in the Box Office.

Personal Review: I personally did like this movie. But me being a slasher fan, do sometimes like the cliché's, Like with Friday the 13th, I watch all of them just to see the teens be killed. And it's already obvious who will die or not. But sometimes I don't really mind that. This movie does go a bit overboard, but it's defenitley creative. But you are never going to look at slashers like Friday the 13th, Halloween, My Bloody Valentine, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and many other movie the same. This movie really did mock the cliché's and did bring them over into a comedic spin. Like that the god's will destroy the earth if the virgin doesn't stay alive... you know it's shit like that that just makes this movie so goofy. It's creative. But, a one time watch is not enough as I still don't fully get it. :)

Day 19: Insidious (Original + Sequel)
                        
The Plot: Insidious is a movie directed by James Wan (Director of Saw and The Counjuring) Insidious 1 + 2 stars: Patrick Wilson as Josh. Rose Byrne as Renai. Ty Simpkins as Dalton. Andrew Astor as Foster. Lin Shaye as Elise. Leigh Whannell as Specs. Angus Sampson as Tucker. Barbara Hershey as Lorraine. Steve Coulter as Carl. But the story is about Josh and Renai's son (Dalton) falls into a deep unexplainable coma. 3 Months Pass, and Renai starts noticing Paranormal Activity. She warns Josh, and after it becomes to extreme they decide to move, where it starts all over again. Renai decides to call a specialist that could help her. Elise comes to help and soon finds out that It's not the house that's haunted but their son.They then soon realize they are dealing with something far more evil then they originally thought. It ends with a huge cliffhanger. And it all gets explained... well most of it in Insidious Chapter 2. The Original did great in the box office. And the sequel is also doing a great job!

Personal Review: I personally love Insidious I have watched it 4 times in 1 month. Insidious 2, just barely came out where I live, and am planning on going to see it soon in theaters. So, that's the reason I didn't explain much of Chapter 2. But since Insidious was such a great success I thought it atleast deserved a spot in my Halloween Horror Movie Countdown.

Day 20: Sinister
                                               

The Plot: Sinister is a movie Written and Directed by Scott Derrickson. Starring: Ethan Hawke as Ellison. Juliet Rylance as Tracy. James Ransone as Deputy 'So and So'. Michael Hall D'Addario as Trevor. Clare Foley as Ashley. The movie follows a Treu Crime writer Ellison, who decides to move into a new house with his family, not telling them that the house they just moved into, was the house where the murders of Ellison's new book is about. As Ellison progresses with information about his book. He finds a box in the attic. And see's Super 8 Films in there. He takes them to his office, and in a period of time watches them. Finding out that they are Snuff Films... Extremely Disutrbing Snuff Films, with no screams or anything, just haunting music that sticks with you for weeks. He deepens himself into the films and tries to find out everything about them and figures out that they all have a connection. A Connection that just brought his entire family in danger. The Box Office for this movie was great. 77 Million on a 3 Million Budget.

Personal Review: I love Sinister, I have watched it 3 times in a 3 Month time period. Which I kind of regret now, as I shouldn't ware it out, but it's just that good! It's scary! Jumpscares are great, and the story was put together perfectly. Can't really compare it to any other movie though. The Snuff Films in this movie, give you a really sick feeling in your stomach, probably the most disturbing films I have ever seen. Just a tip, when you do decide to watch it is Watch it in the Dark, Alone, In the middle of the night. With the volume up loud. Then you get the full expierence. It's a truly frightning film that never gets you a break. Not a movie for Beginners in Horror!!

Later tonight The other 6 Days will be up, with some Horror icons :-D Stay tuned :-D And thanks for visiting my page.
