Ghosts, Demons, and Paranormal Movies
This movie left me with so many questions. You will see as you read this review that I am asking more about the movie than I am able to tell you about the movie. I thought I would just give you a heads up about how this review will play out. We meet Mary who…
This opens with nice aerial shots of a beautiful winter landscape. I didn’t know if this was supposed to take place in the tri-state area or New England, but it had that feel. It turns out it was filmed in Chicago and some other suburban towns in Illinois. In a lot of ways, Chicago is…
This is the Hindi remake by T-series of the Thai horror Alone (2007). The story line is mostly the same. Sanjana is a formerly conjoined twin living in the city. Her mother falls ill in the country and she must return home, where she is haunted by the past. Off the bat, this looks great.…
Pim is a formerly conjoined twin living in South Korea. Her mother falls ill in Thailand and she must return home, where she is haunted by her past. Pim being a formerly conjoined twin is not a spoiler because this premise is established within the first scene of the movie. She returns from South Korea to…
Whenever a horror movie trailer starts off with all their awards and accolades, I involuntarily roll my eyes, because as of late it’s just festival hipster ish. Then they hit you with the “scariest movie of the year” and I become even more skeptical. However the biggest bs of all, is the blurb from some…
Jack is a jerk to his coworkers. His keyboard was so dirty it creeped me out. His dad dies in a car accident and Jack acts like he’s fine, but he’s most likely not. At one point he does refer to himself as a pretentious little shit. This is listed as a “Drama, Horror, Thriller”…
Ordinarily I post the trailer of the movie being reviewed at the top of my post. However, I feel that the trailer spoils some great scenes in this movie, so I really advise against watching the trailer. I respect this movie too much to spoil anything, which is surprising because I was underwhelmed by the trailer. The…
If you have seen the trailer you know it’s like Bloody Mary or Candyman. The actors were believable. I liked that it took place in an apartment building in a city. Also that many of the scare scenes happened in the daytime. In most horror movies it takes the whole movie before the parents believe…
This movie starts out pointing out problems in horror movies, kind of the way Scream was self-referencial. This continues throughout the movie and I like it. The screenwriting is pretty good. I loved the dialog. The way in which the teenage boys spoke with each other was believable and entertaining. I love how realistic some of…
Don’t Knock Twice We meet a teen girl Chloe, her friend/boyfriend Danny and her mother. I believe they are in Wales. Danny tells her the legend about the witch and if you knock twice on her door, how she’ll come for you, but he believes it’s just an urban legend. The movie has some great creepy imagery.…
