House of Wax

You know, it wasn't that bad. I avoided buying this for so long because I thought it was going to be awful. It's definately one of the better remakes. Yeah, Paris Hilton can't act worth a fuck, but she had a decent death and didn't really take that much away from the flick. The last 15 minutes were awesome visually. I think too many people went into this determined to hate it. Give it a shot, it's fun. I'm not sorry I dropped $5 on it. 6.5/10

Cerberus

Wow. You know those films you get that go above and beyond your expectations? Well this one did; I expected it to be absolutely terrible, and it ended up being worse than I could imagine. Cerberus is about the ONLY cool thing about this movie. He doesn't look all that bad...until you see him move. There are movies that are so bad they're good. This isn't one of them. It's just bad. The only reason I'm giving it 1.5/10 is because one of the scenes had an effect done so poorly that I had to stop the movie I was laughing so hard.

Watched Dead End again with the family. Step-father said it was "different", and mother liked it.

Never could bring myself to watch that :)

Robocop was on TV last night..... fucking great I love this movie and could never get sick of it!

Scream and Scream Again:
Damn cool kept me guessing and I really dug it. I'd suggest watching it blind like I did to enjoy it.

and Basket Case 2 is great. A lot of people hate it but whatever. Its crazier than the original has better effects and the last 10 or so are total trash cinema genius! Gets better everytime I watch it.

The Hills Have Eyes (06);
Just like The Devil's Rejects was the best horror movie of 2005, The Hills Have Eyes will probably gain that same title for 2006. Both films are proof that the horror genre has not fell in to the shadows of death unlike some may think. There are those few who give the genre a glimmer of hope. Rob Zombie & Alexandre Aja - Easily two of my favourite directors, and if you've seen either of these films... you can tell why. I'm glad major studios are recognizing this, and providing a budget for both to work with. Speaking of Ron - I'm estactic for his reinivision of Halloween. I can see it being very pleasing.

I don't want to ruin this film for anyone, so I won't go to into detail with what goes on. I will say it features a great soundtrack - just like TDR - and damn, it's main theme, California Dreaming, sure gets stuck in your head. Along with the soundtrack goes the main directing and photography. Both literally mindblowing. This is one of the best looking horror movies to come out recently, or at anytime - really. I'm a fan of those thought-out, connecting, shiny bells-and-wistles type movies. And this is definately one of them.

Another thing I'd like to mention was how Alexandre has proven himself to be a "master" of tension. His first film was called High Tension, after all. It certain envokes an atmopshere, and it is geniuenly creepy and a definite edge-of-your-seat film. Oh, and Sam - this is a movie we can both agree is good. It is relentless in what it shows, and it's all so beautifully done. The characters are covered head to toe in blood, even those alive (*snicker*)... I can just see Alexandre at the casting meeting. Dumping the stars with blood, and licking his lips. They sure look good in all that blood, kind of wierd to say that... but's its true. In both his films, it ends up happening - and I'm a fan.

The characters of the "american hero" and Ruby shone in my eyes. Ruuuby <3. Such a likable mutant... and what she did, wow. Made the film... okay, it would still be rgeat without it. Made it better... more like it.

The ending I wasn't sure would work... as I didn't know there was a twist. I thought to myself "How will this end?". But since a sequel is in possible nogiations, I should have known a twist was present. And it's a good twist at that. Simple, but damned good.

Okay, enough cock-sucking on this film. It's good, five stars, I reccomend it, and don't even watch the original after this - it's bad already, but this just make sit look pathetic.

Can't see why some horror fans don't like this, or think it's just "okay". Alex, I'd marry you if you were gay and willing to move to Canada. :) And I dion't even know what you look like. Hehe.
