An ok documentary, I guess for a lot of people it would be quite eye opening, some of the cinematography was quite good exposes things in a post apocalyptic fashion. But overall it didn't quite go far enough for me. I wanted somthing bigger to be exposed. 6/10

Mother's Day (2010)
 Where do I start? Mmmm....let's begin with the idea/plot behind Darren Lynn Bousman's 2010 film Mother's Day...which is first of all, not a straight remake of Charles Kaufman's 1980 cult favorite Mother's Day. Bousman & his Co. what did here is sometimes what we can regard as "re-imagining" an idea or plot. The premise and even the characters are almost significantly different here as the redneck family in the woods replaced by an extended family of criminals under the influence of a psycho-Mom and instead of having just 2 boys, this time mommy dearest got three sons and a daughter! So it all started when after a bank robbery gone wrong, three brothers on the run from the law head for home, not knowing that their mother has already been evicted from the house. The new owners and their guests, gathered for an ill-timed birthday party, become the brothers' accidental hostages. As one of the brothers is already wounded; one of the hostages, a doctor, he is forced to treat him. And later the brothers' mother, the cold blooded gang leader, and their sister arrive. The way Bousman's version quickly set off to unfold the whole scenario I really started to appreciate & like the film as it progress with good pace & violence. But then, probably after the first-third or half, to make more than an 1 & half hour long film out of a hardly 60 minute story line, it really becomes an excuse to pit the hostages against one another. Forcing them to fight amongst themselves under imposed scenarios along the lines like "we will kill you both unless one of you kills the other first" not only grows tedious within the confines of the film, but it reminds that even when Mr. Bousman already left the SAW franchise, the tired Jigsaw twisty-tricks are still, intentionally or not, pretty much alive on his mind with the same old question..."what would you do or how far you would go to survive?" Thus, although having a fine premise & cast, it becomes bit annoying in few funny & stupid moments. And last but not the least, the ending! And that was the major disappointment. The interesting thing I noticed from a poster of this film is that how much exaggeratedly different popular horror movie sites is trying to help in its promotional campaign. Overall, only considering the gore, violence & the pace of the film it was fairly entertaining. Worth a watch. >>: C+ La Casa Muda aka The Silent House (2010)  I have no idea about how much Uruguay has been involved in the genre film making but as my first horror film from Uruguay I'm here pretty impressed. The Silent House comes with a spooky-haunted house cum psychological horror story that (as we all already know) it was shot in one single continuous take without cuts like the Colombian drama-thriller PVC-1 (2007). Though it takes its time to build up the tension & help to understand its viewers what's actually going on but in the midway of the film you'll find some decent sudden creepy encounters. I'm not actually sure about the others who may not find it that much interesting but overall I think it's a pretty good effort from Uruguay. >>: B

Babysitter Wanted
Fairly surprised by this one. Felt like the same old run of the mill slasher but had a pretty good twist mid way through and kept a descent amount of tension and terror from that point on. Suggest viewing it without any previous reviews or extensive knowledge of the plot. The surprise is what makes this one unique. B
