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!
