THE LAST EXORCISM II: 2013:--: SO THIS MOVIE STARTS OUT WITHOUT MUCH EXPLANATION ABOUT THE FIRST ONE, WHICH DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER BECAUSE YOU GET THE SENSE THAT THE FIRST ONE WASN'T REALLY WORTH WHILE.
THE MAIN CHARACTER GETS SHIPPED AWAY TO SOME HALFWAY HOUSE!! OMG, THIS HAS LITERALLY BEEN THE PLOT FOR 80% OF HORROR MOVIES, PLEASE DON'T INSULT MY INTELLIGENCE..
THE ACTORS ARE NOT WORTH MENTIONING, WHICH MAKES SENSE. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CORRELATION BETWEEN RADIO FREQUENCIES AND GHOSTS STOLEN FROM WHITE NOISE". BASICALLY, THE WAY THAT THIS MOVIE "SCARES" YOU IS BY HAVING A QUIET POINT, THEN AN EXTREMELY LOUD POINT. THIS TACTIC IS SO OVERUSED AND CHEESY IT MAKES ME SICK. I'M GLAD TO REVIEW THIS MOVIE, BECAUSE IT WILL BE THE "PLACEBO" OR INSULTING BENCHMARK TO WHICH OTHER ACCEPTABLE MOVIES WILL BE BASED UPON.
WHEN THE MOVIE SEEMED TO GATHER SOME STEAM IT WAS RIPPING OFF ANOTHER MOVIE, LIKE WHEN THE BIRDS HIT THE WINDOWS OF THE CHURCH AND WHEN THE PERSON TOOK A PICTURE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER AND HIS FACE WAS DISTORTED LIKE THE GRUDGE, THE OMEN AND THE RING. THIS MOVIE HAS NO SHAME!!
THE MOVIE STARTED TO GAIN SOME MOMENTUM AFTER THE POSSESSION SCENE WHEN THE DUFUS PRIEST PERSON CONJURES UP THE DEMON, AND SHE GETS POSSESSED BY THE "EVIL SPIRIT"? I DON'T KNOW WHO SINCE I DIDN'T WATCH THE FIRST ONE. SO I GUESS THEY ASSUMED EVERYONE WATCHED THE FIRST ONE?? OH AND THEN IT ENDS..ABRUPTLY. WOW, THIS MOVIE WAS HORRIBLE:::::59%
SILENT HILL: 2011: -+:HR: I REALLY WANTED TO LIKE THIS ONE, BUT IT FAILED. I FELT LIKE A DEJECTED PROM DATE THAT PAID A LOT FOR THE TUX, BUT GOT LEFT IN THE AUDITORIUM BY MYSELF. GREAT EFFECTS AND GREAT LOOKING BAD GUYS DO NOT MAKE UP FOR A VERY FLIMSY PLOT.
I WOULDN'T EVEN CALL IT A PLOT REALLY. AGAIN, MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE THE FIRST 2? WHY SHOULD THAT MATTER? THEY WEREN'T EXACTLY ESSENTIAL MOVIES TO SEE. I WOULD KNOW.
THAT BEING SAID, THE QUALITY OF THE HORROR MOMENTS ARE QUITE GOOD, ESPECIALLY THE SCENE WITH THE SPIDER MANNEQUINS AND THE ZOMBIE NURSES. I ALSO LIKED THE FIGHT SCENE AND WHEN THE TRIANGLE HEAD GUY CHOPS OFF THE HANDS OF THE PERVERTS IN THE ASYLUM.
OTHER THAN THAT, THIS MOVIE HAS NOTHING ELSE GOING FOR IT. IT WASN'T SCARY, NOR WAS IT COMPELLING. IT WAS A BUNCH OF PUKE WITH SOME NICE LOOKING CHUNKS IN THE BLOODY MESS::69%
THE POSSESSION: 2012, --: THIS MOVIE WAS ACTUALLY A SURPRISINGLY GOOD MOVIE GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE PREVIOUS TWO MOVIES I RENTED WERE PATHETIC. I WAS STARTING TO THINK THAT HORROR MOVIES HAVE BECOME SOME SORT OF WAY STATION FOR HORRIBLE DIRECTORS.
THIS MOVIE STARTED OUT AUSPICIOUSLY BY DECLARING THAT IT'S A "TRUE STORY"..YHEA SO WAS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AND THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (WHICH WAS A GREAT MOVIE IN IT'S ORIGINAL FORM BTW). THERE ARE NO ACTORS OR ACTRESSES WORTH MENTIONING BUT THEY DO AN ACCEPTABLE JOB HERE I.E THEY DIDN'T OVER ACT OR BUTCHER THE MOVIE.
THERE WAS AN INTERESTING BACKDROP IN THIS AND SOME ENGAGING MYTHOLOGY REGARDING JEWISH EXORCISM. APPARENTLY THERE IS SUCH A THING AND IT MADE FOR A MOVIE WHICH HAD IT'S FAIR SHARE OF FRIGHTENING PORTIONS. IT DID ACTUALLY SCARE ME A FEW TIMES, AND NOT WITH CHEESY QUIET TO LOUD SEQUENCES.
IT HAD A GOOD LENGTH, NOT TOO SHORT AND NOT TOO LONG. THE SPECIAL EFFECTS WERE INTERESTING, AND THE SHOT WHERE THE HAND WAS IN THE THROAT WAS REALLY COOL, AS WAS THE SCENE IN THE MRI. SOME ORIGINAL SCARES IN THIS MOVIE, SO MAYBE THEY WERE ORIGINAL BECAUSE IT'S A "TRUE STORY"?
I WASN'T REALLY EVER BORED WITH THE MOVIE AND IT HAD SOME GREAT SCENES LIKE THE LAST POSSESSION EXORCISM AND THE EXIT SIGN, THE PART WHERE THE MOTHS WERE FLYING EVERYWHERE, AND FINALLY WHEN THE A HOLE BOYFRIEND DENTIST HAD HIS TEETH PULLED. GOOD STUFF! I GIVE THIS A:::87%
