Plot IMDB
In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds - and remembers.

Phantom's Review: I gotta admit, I was a bit disappointed with this film. It's definitely NOT a bad movie, It's beautifully filmed, great atmosphere, fine acting from the whole cast and some truly marvelous set design, the only problem...it isn't the least bit scary. The film is more along the lines of a psychological thriller that just happens to have a couple of ghosts in it. I was expecting a few more BOO! scenes and the film just didn't have them. Like I said, it's not a bad movie at all and had been expecting this kind of story, I probably would have liked it more, but wanting a good Halloween scare, I came away wanting. It's worth watching on DVD,but nothing more.
Just wanted to put this here...

Quote:
Yet del Toro does not consider “Crimson Peak” a horror film — he repeatedly refers to it as a gothic romance. Talk to him about influences, and he’s more likely to cite Henry James than Stephen King. “Gothic romance is a curious little beast,” he notes. “It’s a mix between the atmospherics of a fairy tale or a horror movie and a love story that reveals the darker side of love.”

You guys wanna know a secret? Little girls covered in gold are NOT SCARY. They dedicated way to much time with cliche jump scares with this painted brat. Show whats UNDER the gold if you want to traumatize your audience.

Got better with the possessions and backstory.

Couldn't help but think of Deadbeat with all the slicing this movie had.

"Saving Christmas"

Wanna see something reeeeally scary? Like mind-blowingly horrific?

After 30 minutes I had to turn it off. At that time I felt raped. Raped by Kirk Cameron, Jesus Christ, God, Santa Claus and especially writer/director Darren Doane. I hope that guy never gets to make a movie ever again. If I wanted someone to force christianity down my throat this badly I'd have to shoot myself.


What the hell was I thinking..

Whao! I didn't even know this existed. The cover looks like a Mad Magazine cover. So surreal.

I have to hand it to you, Angra, you are a brave man. I got to watch a trailer.

Horrible reviews. Trailer's not bad. I may have to try it.

The Sacrament

Would have been better if it wasn't mainly found footage and they just used the name Jim Jones and Jonestown/

This looks like great fun. Remember, Christmas season begins this week.

Frankenstein's Army and Kung Fury for me today. Kung Fury was a fun mess and Frankenstein's Army was... not what I expected. I liked FA but I wasn't expecting a found footage film set during WWII, that part threw me off.

I don't know Angra, why would a CHRISTMAS movie talk so much about Christianity? Silly... lol
