Annabelle (2014)



vs

Unhinged (1981)

u4.jpg

A couple begin to experience terrifying supernatural occurrences involving a vintage doll shortly after their home is invaded by satanic cultists.

Three college girls on their way to a jazz festival crash their car in the isolated woods during a rainstorm, and are taken in by a mysterious family in an old mansion. Little do the girls know, the family has a dark, murderous secret.

Unhinged is a great idea for a movie that due to terrible acting (some of the worst I've ever seen) sinks the movie. Annabelle is a terrible film that is very well executed. Annabelle felt like it was borderline PG horror but their were some great scenes in the movie.

Gone Girl (2014)



Scanners (1981)


GONE GIRL - directed by David Fincher and based upon the global bestseller by Gillian Flynn - unearths the secrets at the heart of a modern marriage. On the occasion of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) reports that his beautiful wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike), has gone missing. Under pressure from the police and a growing media frenzy, Nick's portrait of a blissful union begins to crumble. Soon his lies, deceits and strange behavior have everyone asking the same dark question: Did Nick Dunne kill his wife?

Scanners is a 1981 Canadian science-fiction action horror film written and directed by David Cronenberg and starring Jennifer O'Neill, Stephen Lack, and Patrick McGoohan. In the film, "scanners" are people with unusual telepathic and telekinetic powers. ConSec, a purveyor of weaponry and security systems searches out scanners to use them for its own purposes. The film's plot concerns the attempt by Darryl Revok, a renegade scanner, to wage a war against ConSec. Another scanner, Cameron Vale, is dispatched by ConSec to stop Revok.

A pair of non-horror horror films by legendary horror directors. It's hard to talk about Gone Girl because the second act deals with major spoilers, but Gone Girl reminded me a great deal of classic lesser Hitchcock films. It's a movie that is gorgeous to look at and deeply unsettling yet you also have this fantastic dark sense of humor and satire. I would not be shocked if Rosamund Pike doesn't get an Oscar nomination and actually win for this one.

I always heard great things about Scanners, I do wonder if it would have been a classic if someone other than David Cronenberg did it. Patrick McGoohan and Michael Ironside are phenomenal but both are supporting. I like the world building, and the FX, unlike most horror films this felt like almost an epic

Affleck beats Scanners, that's not right.

[simbob4000]

Affleck beats Scanners, that's not right.

But Gone Girl is great, and Scanners pretty much sucks. Scanner is a cool idea, but it's just a handful of nice scenes with a horribly miscast lead. If Scanners was a bigger studio film they very well would have scrapped it after seeing dailies, and reshot the thing with a new lead. I think Scanners may very well be the worst case of casting by a good director I've ever seen in a movie. It's pretty funny because Ironsides is just so fucking good in that movie. How can a movie be cast so go and so bad at the same time?

Sadly Scanners is a movie you might get more out of just by watching a few individual scenes on YouTube. Head explosion: great. Ironsides drill scene: great. Psychic hacking: cool. Final battle: great. Rest of the movie...well, not so good.

12. Bram Stoker's Dracula




This one is a mixed bag. It does a lot of things right, and some things badly, with the overall feel of an operatic horror epic that doesn't quite have the cohesion it needs as a narrative.

Dracula has been told many, many times. But, if you're going to call it "Bram Stoker's Dracula", you should really be trying to adapt the novel faithfully. And, in many ways, this movie does: all the characters and main story beats from the book are actually here, for the first time in any theatrical version that I've seen. It even has Dracula appearing old or young at different times, Dracula walking around in daylight, the climactic chase; all true to the book. However, the crux of the movie is Drac's desire to be reunited with his mortal wife, reincarnated as Mina. This isn't the first version of the story to have that element, but it's *not* from Bram Stoker's Dracula novel at all. But, while there is that romantic subplot, the movie doesn't shy away from Dracula's monstrous nature, literally in some cases.
(And though Stoker never spelled out that Dracula was Vlad the Impaler, at least one can make an educated inference that he intended it to be so)

The score is great. The production designs are striking and well done, though some costumes and set elements are overly garish to the point of losing credibility.

The movie's alternate title could have been "Oldman Unleashed". Gary plays the iconic villain though many moods and faces, all with melodramatic relish.

Keanu Reeves gets a lot of crap over his acting, but in this case, it is absolutely deserved. He's so incredibly wooded and clusmy in some scenes that I shudder to think at how the bad the takes Copolla didn't use must have been. . I wonder how Gary Oldman, Cary Elwes and Anthony Hopkins didn't break out laughing every time he speaks with that ludicrous British accent. They probably deserved Oscar nominations just for keeping a straight face.

Winona Ryder's sex appeal in this movie is beyond anything I've never seen her do elsewhere. In some of her scenes with Drac or even alone, she nearly ignites the screen. She isn't quite so believable as a 19th Century schoolmistress, though; she just 'feels' too modern, though her performance isn't bad, per say. And her accent, though not great, is still a hundred times better than Keanu's.

Anthony Hopkins hams it up as Abraham Van Helsing, and he's far closer to the novel's version than the staid academic of many portrayals. He's also kind of a tactless jerk, which isn't really from the book but it does result in some nice bits of comic relief. There's one scene where Van Helsing does the Batman Vanish trick on Dr. Seward and the other men, I can't remember if it's in the book or not. But in the movie it's just this weird bit without any explanation or payoff later. He's an eccentric, bohemian professor, not a ninja or a wizard.

Some scenes are overly stylized with editing to the point of jarring you out of the movie, but everything looks fantastic. Dracula's old man hair is silly, but I guess he's meant to be memorable. That introductory sequence with Harker at the castle goes too over-the-top too quickly. Any sane guy would have run for the door in about two minutes, with all the crazy stuff he was seeing.

And yes, that's Monica Belluci as one of Dracula's three vampiric brides. And she could probably play the same role today and nobody would bat an eye about it.

Here's a review I just came across:

October 16: Tales From the Darkside - we needed something short to watch, but this one was kind of a cop out, as only one of the stories was by King. The first story with Christian Slater, Julianne Moore, and Steve Buscemi was alright, but I really preferred the King story Cat From Hell, it was funny to see David Johansen ham it up. William Hickey was a treat, as my wife is a huge fan of Christmas Vacation and watches it once a year, at least. She also pointed out Alice Drummond who was also the librarian in Ghostbusters.

October 17: Pet Sematary - Man I really remember being scared of this movie when I was a kid, not suo much at all anymore and the movie has not held up at all. The actor who played the main character was especially terrible, which totally took us out of the movie. Nothing really notable here, although the mother was Denise Crosby, known to Trekkies as Tasha Yar.

October 18: Carrie(2013) - I thought this was better than I expected. They certainly delved into her developing her TK powers more than they did in the original, but I also think film technology has allowed them to do these things better. Julianne Moore was really creepy, and I thought Chloe Grace Moretz was perfect for Carrie.

This was an interesting movie, reminded me a bit of simplified version of Stephen King's IT with its parallel narratives. The idea of the haunted mirror is intriguing, and the movie is shot and acted pretty well. BUT, the ending is pretty obvious right from the introduction of a certain element fairly early in the movie. And it's an element that requires Karen Gillan's character, who otherwise seems to have thought things out pretty well, to be incredibly stupid in planning this.
Also, I feel like there may be parts an earlier draft that mistakenly were left in the movie, as there's some talk of how the mirror apparently drains people of their life force, and even leaves one particular victim bald and skinny...but later that doesn't happen at all.

Loosely (I would hope!) based on the night Mary Shelly was inspired to write Frankenstein. Five arty types gather for a night of decadence and discussion at the manor of Lord Byron. A little too much laudanum and messing around with skulls and rituals, and they're in for a living nightmare. There are some interesting scenes, but overall the movie ends up feeling kind of pointless. It does have a very wild, gothic atmosphere to it, though.




After the fun B-movie homage of Demon Knight, Bordello of Blood is a huge let down. It's so bad it seems to have put the whole Cryptkeeper franchise on ice. The first problem is the leads: Dennis Miller isn't an actor at all, Erika Eleniak is bad, and Angie Everhart is absolutely abysmal. Chris Sarandon is somewhat of brightspot in a supporting role. Even if you fall into the Dennis Miller Ratio, too many of the jokes here just fall flat, and the story takes too long to really get going.
Interestingly, this is the second movie this year what has Lilith has the big bad, this time, she's the mother of vampires.

The Killer must Kill again (1975)

vs

The Divide (2011)


Belying his reputation as a hack (some say justly earned after Star Crash and Alien Contamination), Italian filmmaker Luigi Cozzi delivers a slick, absorbing giallo thriller clearly influenced by his mentor, Dario Argento. George Hilton stars as a greedy adulterer who makes a deal with a serial killer (Michel Antoine) to dispose of his wealthy wife, Nora (Teresa Velazquez). Unfortunately, a thrill-seeking young couple (Alessio Orano, Christina Galbo) steal the killer's car with Nora's corpse in the trunk, ending up at a run-down seaside villa. While Orano is making whoopie by a roadside with a stranded motorist (Femi Benussi), the killer rapes his girlfriend and then begins murdering people to cover his tracks. This is another one of those films in which all the men are sadistic louts, all the women are sexy victims, and only a somewhat daft police inspector (Eduardo Fajardo) can stop the madness. Still, it is quite well made, aided immeasurably by its cast and the photography of Riccardo Pallotini, and highly recommended for fans of the genre. Carla Mancini and Sydne Rome also appear.

After a nuclear attack, seven dwellers of an apartment building seek refugee in a bunker in the basement of the building where the super, Mickey, lives. He rations water and supplies among the group formed by Eva and her boyfriend Sam; the gays Bobby and Josh and his brother Adrien; Marilyn and her daughter Wendi; and Delvin. When five invaders break into their shelter wearing protective clothing and breathing apparatuses, they abduct Wendi but the survivors succeed in killing two of the men. Josh wears the only clothing that was not damaged and discovers a strange research center where he finds Wendi contained in some kind of stasis device along with other children apparently collected by the unknown men in suits. He is discovered and ends up shoots at three men and returns to the shelter. Soon the group learns that the invaders have welded their access door from outside and they are trapped inside the bunker. Marilyn and Sam get crazy and the tense situation and the lack of water.

Both films take different forms of common genres. The Divide is a post apocalyptic thriller that is basically a very small, dirty, dark movie the gets rid of all the science fiction and thrills and focuses more on character. Killer must Kill again takes a minor crime (a kidnapping) and plays it for thrills it reminded me quite a bit of Fargo. The Divide gets a little silly at the end I wasn't 100% satisfied with where and how the characters ended up, and I loved the ending of The Killer must Kill again. Both are worth a watch

Jack the Ripper (1988)

vs

Extraterrestrial (2014)



From The Vicious Brothers, the creators of Grave Encounters comes a different kind of encounter, one of 'EXTRATERRESTRIAL' origin. Still reeling from her parents' divorce, April (Daytime Emmy winner, Brittany Allen) is dragged back to the vacation cabin she spent fond summers at as a child accompanied by a group of friends. Her trip down memory lane takes a dramatic and terrifying turn when a fireball descends from the sky and explodes in the nearby woods. Lead by her boyfriend, played by Freddie Stroma (Harry Potter & The Half Blooded Prince, Pitch Perfect), the group venture out toward the crash site and discover the remnants of a ship from another planet along with footprints that suggest its alien occupants are still alive. The college friends soon find themselves caught in the middle of something bigger and more terrifying than anything they could ever imagine

TheTV movie Jack the Ripper endeavors to shed new light on one of the most notorious unsolved cases in history. The Ripper, of course, was the London serial killer who, in 1888, killed and disemboweled five prostitutes. Michael Caine stars not as the Ripper but as a Scotland-Yard inspector who is assigned to the case. The trail of evidence leads Caine to some astonishing suspects--including at least one member of the Royal Family. As the public clamors for an arrest in the case of the unsolved evisceration murders of five East End prostitutes, Abberline narrows down his list of suspects: the four most likely to have committed the murders, according to the inspector, are American-actor Richard Mansfield (Armand Assante), Queen Victoria's personal psychic (Ken Bones), a certain Dr. Acland (Richard Morant) and socialist-gadfly Lusk (Michael Gothard). The British government is also pressuring Abberline to produce the killer. Unfortunately, if Abberline were to publicly release all the clues at his disposal, the revelation would probably rock the Empire to its foundations

Jack the Ripper is very much a "TV movie" very light on the horror and it turns out in a story that tried to incorporate all the suspects they left out the one who they believe was the actual Ripper. Extratersial was horrid unwatchable crap, bad acting felt cheap turned it off after 30 minutes.

We also watched the first episode of Nightmares and Dreamscapes, Battleground. This was the story of a hitman who kills a toymaker, and then gets a mysterious package of army men, then go out of their way to kill him. Its stars William Hurt, and is really good in that there is no dialogue in the entire story.

October 26: The Dead Zone - This is really good, but is on the non-scary side of the spectrum. It was a much more restrained Christopher Walken than he has become.

Prequel to schlocky vampire franchise. I never liked how the first one felt like two different movies, and the second was fang-heavy from the beginning. This has a better balance. As a prequel, it doesn't exactly reveal anything interesting about the later installments, and really, the other ones were rather light on continuity, anyway.

This movie was so forgettable, that I actually forgot I had watched it prior to my last update. If feels like it was made with only half a script. Actually, it may have been half of two different scripts, one of them wanting to be Scream with werewolves, and the other wanting to go for the Twilight crowd. By the low, low standards of Howling sequels, I suppose this is still one of the better ones. The woman from Banshee who looks like Tricia Helfer is also in it.




Would You Rather, starring Brittany Snow from Pitch Perfect, Jeffery Combs from Star Trek Deep Space Nine, and Sasha Grey from Anal Sluts 17. Actually, Sasha Grey isn't a lead role. The movie also features "Bob" from Walking Dead, "Crab Man" from My Name is Earl, and "Penguin" from Gotham, who *really* excels at playing a psycho you want to punch in the face, and some other people I kinda recognized but couldn't name.
The premise is that 8 people with financial woes are lured and forced to play a sadistic and deadly game by a wealthy family. Combs is entertaining, and there's some good acting some some of the victims, but the whole thing just plays too slowly and too dull. There were one or two scenes where I cringed, though, and it's not particularly gory.




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkQSCxC7xC0

James Woods and Daniel Baldwin beat up hookers and priests, and hunt some vampires long the way. They actually don't seem to be particularly good at vampire hunting, despite the constant machismo posturing and dialogue. The master vampire looks too much like Marilyn Manson with fangs, it's just a cliched look for a character who had no real personality. Dracula (done right) should be memorable, David from Lost Boys was memorable, the villains from the Near Dark and the first two Blade movies are memorable. Valek is just a yawn. John Carpenter scores it himself, as he's done with many (all?) of his films, but he clearly didn't have the inspiration here that he had for Halloween or Escape from New York. All that said, the movie isn't terrible, it's just a lot of attitude with too little substance. James Woods is clearly having fun, though. The novel this is based on is titled "Vampire$", which makes me wonder if it plays up the mercenary vamp hunter idea. If so, that was probably an angle worth checking out.

Quick Update

October 15th
Snowpiercer (2014) vs Eyes of a Stranger (1981)

In this sci-fi epic, a failed global-warming experiment kills off most life on the planet. The final survivors board the SNOWPIERCER, a train that travels around the globe via a perpetual-motion engine. When cryptic messages incite the passengers to revolt, the train thrusts full-throttle towards disaster.

The film centers around a rapist and murderer who stalks his victims and then calls them repeatedly before raping and killing them. A feminist TV anchor becomes suspicious and investigates one of her neighbors, who she believes is committing the crimes

Snowpiercer is an excellent science fiction thriller in the same vein of Sunshine Chris Evans anchors a film that is much better than it has any right to be. Eyes of the Stranger is a great slasher that steals from Rear Window and Wait Until Dark but Snow Piercer is a classic

Snowpiercer (A) beats Eyes of a Stranger (B+)

October 16th
Odd Thomas(2013) vs In the Folds of the Flesh(1970)

Odd Thomas (Yelchin) is a psychic who lives in a small town in California. He describes his ability as, "I see dead people, but then, by God, I do something about it." One morning the ghost of a teenage girl, Penny Kallisto, silently leads him to Harlo Landerson. Odd accuses Harlo of raping and murdering Penny. Harlo flees. Odd chases him into a child's bedroom in a stranger's house. Harlo and Odd fight and Harlo is knocked unconscious. Odd's friend, police chief Wyatt Porter (Dafoe), is aware of Odd's psychic gifts and promises to spin the story to keep public attention away from him.

The guests of a villa are killed off one by one by their hosts. Incest, decapitations and a cyanide bath feature amongst the other bizarre delights.

Odd Thomas plays with a sense of horror and whimsy sort of like the classic Frightners and Ghostbusters and easily defeats this lesser gaillo

Odd Thomas (B) beats In the Folds of the Flesh (C-)

John Dies at the End (2013) vs 976-Evil (1988)

It's a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can't.

This underrated teen-revenge horror film starring Stephen Geoffreys (Fright Night) was the directorial debut of Robert Englund, best known as Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street series. Geoffreys plays Hoax, a picked-on nerd who lives with his religious-nut mother Lucy (the marvelous Sandy Dennis). One day Hoax calls a 976-line for a "Horrorscope," and the demonic voice at the other end starts giving him wicked advice. Before long, he has killed his brother's girlfriend with tarantulas, slashed the face of a teen tough with his newly-sprouted talons, and gutted several of his tormentors. Only a well-meaning journalist and a sexy schoolmarm can stop the now-demonic Hoax before he sends the whole neighborhood straight to Hell. Granted, the screenplay is rather confused and slow-moving, but Geoffreys and Dennis are great, the effects work by Kevin Yagher is skillful, and this is one of the few teen-horror films with characters that are actually interesting. Look for Robert Picardo (The Howling) in a fun cameo as the diabolical Mark Darke

John Dies at the end was a pretentious bore, hipster horror at its worse. 976-Evil is cheap but I laughed a bit and I liked the story.

VHS Viral (2014) vs Xtro (1983)

For those with a taste for the repugnant comes this gory blood-and-guts fest that tells the horrific story of a British fellow who gets kidnapped by aliens and three years later is returned carrying infectious spores that have transformed him into a kind of crab thingy that causes all kinds of perverse sexual and violent mayhem

A police chase after a deranged ice cream truck has captivated the attention of the greater Los Angeles area. Dozens of fame---obsessed teens flock to the streets with their video cameras and camera phones, hell---bent on capturing the next viral video. But there is something far more sinister occurring in the streets of L.A. than a simple police chase. A resounding effect is created onto all those obsessed with capturing salacious footage for no other purpose than to amuse or titillate. Soon the discovery becomes that they themselves are the stars of the next video, one where they face their own death.

VHS Viral stretches the medium too much for my likely the best part was a three minute cab sequence. Xtro is just sci-fi horror awesome even if I didn't totally understand it.

October 29: The Mist - We saw this in the theater when it came out and hated it. Aside from the crummy monsters, I remembered nothing about it. A number of opinions I trust, really enjoyed this movie, so I thought we had to give it another chance. Its a good movie, with still not great monsters, and a terrible, terrible ending. Directed by Frank Darabont, he then used Laurie Holden, Jeffrey DeMunn, and Melissa McBride in Walking Dead, so it was fun to see them in this.
