What did you watch on this Halloween week? (27/10-02/11)
I hope you had a good one!
My week:
Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998): I really liked this movie when I was a teen and I got a man crush on Josh Hartnet who wore the same kind of necklace I had! Plus my boy from Third rock from the sun, Joseph Gordon-Levitt made a great appearance. The big problem with this movie is that you have to go through half a dozen cheap-shot jump-scares of random people running into each other before, about an hour in, the real terror begins. And once this terror begins, there is about 0 to 1 scary moments. Overall: this is the Halloween movie of my generation and I like it, especially the first 20 minutes but I can understand people saying that it’s a not-so-good movie. My rating: 6.5-7/10
The crow (1994 TV): This is a real fucked up movie. First things first; it’s strange that it’s the first time for me to see this movie because my brother had a T-shirt that I wore when I wanted to look cool and he owned the movie and told me crazy s**t about a guy who got killed making it. But the years passed and it faded like an old memory in my head and now, as I finally got around to watching it, I realized that Bruce Lee’s son actually died shooting this movie and they had to patch holes with CGI and what not. Now the craziest thing of all is all the innuendos and insinuations concerning life and death in the script. It makes his character even creepy and his death even more peculiar and spectacular. A great movie and a greater tragedy...: 8.5/10
The strangers (2008 TV): Normally, I enjoy horror movies that don’t involve super-natural but this was bad. It sucked big time and that’s about all I can say. I love Arwen and she has some of the most kissable lips in Middle-earth but yeah, this movie sucks. 4/10
The Conjuring 2 (2016 TV): Well see, this one was good! They managed to pull me in what could have been just another possession/haunted house horror film and I was hooked! It was my first experience with the Warren’s but I’ll be sure to track down all of their work. Maybe I will give Annabelle a second chance after all… (see next review) My rating: 7.5/10
Annabelle (2014 TV): I watched it a whole hour. It was as much as I could get and I doubt it was about to get better. I would rather have seen the doll move instead of just sitting there all the frickin’ time, at least it could’ve been funny. 1/10
I Frankenstein (2014 TV): Normally I watch this kind of movie for the action and the special-effects and the story is secondary. Well in this case, The CGI is so bad that the weak-ass story that was offered was the high point of the movie and it was not enough for me to stick around longer than 40 minutes. 1/10
