Followed (2018)
Very good
I thought this movie was great. The special effects are fantastic and it definitely kept me feeling edgy. One minute I wanted to strangle Mike and the next minute, he was super endearing. The acting was much better than anticipated. Although I found it a tad weird when they talked about the nightcrawler and Elisa Lam but changed their names. Over all, a very enjoyable flick.
Insanitarium (2008)
Fun little gore film
I did put spoilers in here as I was writing while watching the film. Please do not read if you want to go in blind (which might not be a bad idea.)
Major gore fest – brother gets himself committed to save his sister who attempted suicide. But the Dr. is giving the patients a drug that basically turns them into flesh eating fiends. There are some pretty decent kill scenes (scalpel through the chin) and a Dr gets her arm broken off and then eaten. The acting is actually not that bad – the story is a little lean – no way would a guy be able to get committed that way. But the nympho girl is pretty funny (she basically eats an orderlies penis off – crazy.) The budget is pretty low, but the effects are fairly well done – especially the eyes of the zombies, they get this white iris. I did have to turn away when there was a cat death (hate animal death of any kind.) It really starts turning into this slash as 4 characters are trying to get out of the hospital and the zombies are just coming after them.
It seemed that there was a longer period of time before they started changing and then all of a suddenly they seemed to turn extremely fast. I liked the homages to older horror flicks by some names (one of the patients name is Loomis). When I first got it, wasn't really sure what it was going to be but it actually turned out to be quite fun. And there was a machete through the back of the head which was pretty awesome. What I am curious about is actually how it transmits – if you get bit, you turn? But not if you get their blood all over you? They have to climb up this laundry shoot and it seems that the zombies are able to figure out where they are pretty quick and start going to the different shoots. I have been surprised that 3 of them made it this far. And they enter another white room, back into maximum security covered in blood. Another lady actually eating her own intestine. The Dr grabs Dave (Sussman from BBT) and gives him a lobotomy just like that. "He's not dead, just a little less engaged."
This movie is not that bad – I really found it quite fun minus a couple of scenes. It helps that there are several actors that I like in other things so I am more apt to enjoy them here I think. The gore is just really well done except some of the blood is a little too red. I'm sad that they did just leave Dave there though, even though he was technically brain dead from the lobotomy, I guess. Throughout the ending, the Dr. is wanting to continue with his research. Definitely not a Hollywood ending-actually found it to be a bit lacking.
Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)
Liked more than the first
I just saw this this afternoon and I have to say, I really loved it. I am one of those people who just goes into the theater and takes the movie as it comes. I absolutely love the slow build-up because it made the jumps even more intense. I think that I said "Holy S***" more than 5 times and actually gasped out loud several times. I know that people think that the self-filming is out, but I really enjoy it. I think that people who watch shows like Ghost Adventures and Ghost Hunters will actually really like this film. The idea of the unknown is absolutely the most terrifying thing and the ending of this movie was amazing. I did not see the transference coming and was completely shocked. Go see it - again, if you like ghost/demon videos.
Supernatural: Abandon All Hope (2009)
Abandon all hope? Not with Winchester boys around!
So I don't normally comment, but had to after last night. To all the Jo haters out there, can you honestly not say that she gave an awesome performance? The mother/daughter relationship between Ellen and Jo was literally tangible. For them to sacrifice themselves was heart-breaking to watch. But what a way to end their run-with an awesome explosion!
Jensen-you are my fave ! The emotions you can pull across with just your face is amazing. The scene with Jo was perfect! A little disappointed about Jo being killed by hell-hounds. I actually always liked Jo, so was sad to see her go! The picture of the group was great and I was sorry Bobby burned it, but I adore him anyways.
Jared was as always grand (love the bit with Lucifer trying to talk to him as if they have something in common), and I have to agree with something said earlier-can't really see Michael using the word "freak." Misha was spot-on as well-throwing Meg down onto the burning circle so he could step out using her body was priceless!
I can't wait to see what Kripke has up his sleeve next but am just peeved that we have to wait until Jan.21 to find out.
To the people that like to come on boards and bash everything-find something else to do or just sit back and enjoy the ride!
