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

Fiona Dourif as Nica. Chantal Quesnelle as Sarah. Danielle Bisutti as Barb. A

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!!!
