"The world as we know it will come to an end." (2012).

So let's take a moment away from the spirits and gouls and demons and monsters for a moment, shall we? This movie may not seem like horror to you. Oh, but on the contrary, it most definitely is. 

From the viewer's standpoint, we get a look into the "future". A future that happens to be pretty darn close, I may add. This movie was released in 2009. The film takes place in 2012. That's three years from the date it was released.

When I first watched it last year it made me think about the year 2012 and what would happen. I know this is only a movie, but I couldn't help myself from drifting away into dreamland.

Adrian Helmsley gets some shocking news from Dr. Tsurutani that there's some weird activity going on with the Earth's core and the Sun. They then come to realize that the world as they know it will soon come to an end. Together, with the President of the United States, they fight to save as many lives as they can before time runs out. 

This is why I consider this movie horror. It's fiction and it's make-believe, but it's something that can actually happen. Natural disasters are no joke.

I recommend all to watch this movie.

Peace.
