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.
