Blood Creek (2009)

"Blood Creek"

Release Date: October 9, 2009

Rated R. 

Horror, Thriller

Director: Joel Schumacher

Rating: One Thumb Up

This film was slow at first, but once the action picks up it's well worth the wait.

Victor escapes imprisonment with a family hiding an occult-obsessed man bent on completing his blood ritual. He returns with his brother bent on revenge.

This movie is a different kind of movie. Not your average cannibal-zombie movie, that's for sure. It has a twist in it that I didn't see coming. 

This is definitely a good watch. Check it out on Netflix.

Peace.

The Purge

The Purge

Release Date: June 7, 2013

Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller

Rated R

Director: James Damonaco

Rating: One Thumb Up

So....let me get this straight. For one day of the year. For 12 hours. All crime is legal. That pretty much sums up this movie here. That is one F'd up concept. I don't know what to say about this movie.

Well.....I guess I can start with what it's about. During lockdown, just minutes before the purging hour, Charlie (sweet Charlie) sympathetically let's a stranger inside the house. He felt bad for him and wanted to help; how could he have known he would bring baggage with him.

 

A little tip about baggage; it's a motherfucker. Pardon my French. But I hate baggage because baggage doesn't know when to leave. It lingers in your presence to make your existence miserable. It's like poison, waiting to dissolve you slowly. Gotta love baggage.

Now, let's talk about Charlie, shall we??? Charlie (sweet Charlie). Do us a favor, sweetheart. Next time mommy and daddy tells you to stay put, you stay put. No one told you to let a stranger into the house during purging hour.

As for you, Adelaide (nice name), stop thinking you're grown and listen to mommy and daddy. It saves you a headache in the end. 

Mr. and Mrs. Sandin....what were you thinking??? I mean...it's like you were thinking for a minute....then you lost your train of thought. Usually when that happens you get back on track. Only....you never got back on track. You chose an entirely different track. On the plus side, you put up a pretty good fight.

This film was a good watch. It could have been better, but a good film overall. Check it out. 

Peace.

Movies Coming Out in 2014

Time to take another break from the monsters and ghosts for a moment and talk about other horrors. 2014 has some interesting, but sad movies coming out. 

"Son of God" 2014

Starring Diogo Morgado as "Jesus", this intense film takes you on the journey of Jesus and unconditional love as he is put to the ultimate test. Although the story of Jesus should be a happy one, it will always be a sad story in my eyes. A horror story, for the horrors he went through to prove his love and endurance.

"Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" 2014

Idris Alba stars as "Neslon Mandela". We are taken on a journey through his life starting from his childhood. He is arrested and endures long days in prison. That itself is horror to me. The things that go on in prison (so I've seen in movies and read in books) are scary.

"Heaven is for Real" 2014

Connor Corum stars Colton, a young boy who possesses a special gift to see the deceased, and see what heaven is like. I call this story the fear of the unknown. Phenomenon films like this (I.e. "The Sixth Sense", "Hide And Seek", "Insidious") make me wonder if my young daughter is going to inhabit any "special" abilities.

"Maleficent" 2014

Disney's "dark side". Angelina Jolie stars "Maleficent", the villain from "Sleeping Beauty". We've heard Sleeping Beauty's story...now it's Maleficent's time to shine as she tells her story.

Peace.
