The Prophecy (1995) - Gregory Widen



So I watched this movie on heavy medication because I just had a root canal and I needed something to watch to pass time. Christopher Walken is one of my favorite actors and this movie is pretty kick ass. I really like it as a religious horror type movie, but this movie is in no way to me considered to be a Horror movie. Its kinda scary i guess and has a few gory parts, but there is no real build-up. Christopher Walken really steals the show as Gabriel the Archangel, he even busts out his trusty handy dandy trumpet of doom.

What we have here is a cop who used to be a priest who lost his faith in God. Somehow he gets his faith back with little struggle in this movie though. Its weird, I at least expected him to put up some kind of fight or struggle with coming to grips with the fact that he was wrong for all of those years. They didn't really tackle that though, weird, i guess. Any who this cop who loses his faith gets caught up in the middle of the war between angels and demons and decides that he himself will stop the war!

The movie has Eric Stoltz in it and I am a sucker for Eric Stoltz movies, did you know there are pictures out there of Stoltz as Marty McFly. Yeah, he was supposed to be McFly in Back to the Future... But they didn't like his ginger ways and went with Michael J. Fox instead. Just a little food for thought.

Anyway, scary level is not high on this one. Pansy little girls can watch this movie because there is really nothing here to freak you out. Well except for Christopher Walken's hair in this one, or the first angel with no eyes. That was creepy, it looked weird and felt wrong. I am giving the Prophecy 4 out of 10...

I will love you more than your Jesus - Satan

Ju-On (2000) - Takashi Shimizu

Watching Japanese horror is similar to watching British comedy. If you enjoy dry whit then you probably enjoy the boys of Monty Python in drag. That's the joke, they're dressed like women. Get it? Well, that's British humor. But if you're like most Americans you probably prefer Adam Sandler farting his way across a football field and hooking up with chicks that are way out of his league. Americans usually prefer this more in your face, crass brand of humor. My point is funny in England is different from funny in the US. The same goes for J-Horror. What the Japanese consider scary is very different from what Americans consider scary and it shows in this horror film. Japanese horror is generally slow (a little too slow sometimes), suspenseful and creepy. Ju-On is a creepy effing film. The movie has almost no soundtrack. It is incredibly suspenseful and the pay-offs are pretty awesome, but I think that it was done better in the American version (cultural t...

Humanoids From the Deep (1980) - Barbara Peeters and Jimmy T. Murakami

This is your standard old drive-in Creature Feature that has tons of gore and boobs. It's great if your in for a cheap thrill. This film goes right up along side any Roger Corman produced picture from the eighties. It's rumored that Joe Dante was approached to direct this movie but he turned it down. Humanoids from the Deep, also known as Monster, is a strange but forgettable piece of exploitation that failed to make it's notch in history. Don't let that detour you though. This is a really fun little film that doesn't fail to be entertaining.  A small sea town in California is terrorized by some mutated creatures from the deep. They look like some sort of mutated fish, merman-thing. They seem to have one goal in mind and that is raping and impregnating the females of the town. Also the town is being taken for a ride by a shifty businessman and his new corporate cannery. Could this evil cannery corporation be responsible for the Extreme Creatures of the B...

Escape From Tomorrow (2013) - Randy Moore

This review may contain spoilers. An American independent horror movie from filmmaker Randy Moore. It stars Roy Abramsohn, Elena Schuber, Katelynn Rodriguez, Jack Dalton, Annet Mahendru, and Alison Lees-Taylor. It premiered at the official selection of Roger Ebert, at the Sundance Film Festival on January 18th, 2013. Synopsis Jim is a depressed middle-aged man that despises his family life but wants to try to hold it together for a vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort. Jim receives a call before they leave and, unfortunately, Jim has lost his job as well. It proves too much to handle as this trip to the Magic Kingdom becomes a hellish nightmare. Jim’s mind cracks as we watch him deal with Disney’s seedy underbelly. Complete with elaborate corporate conspiracy, undercover sex workers, and demons. Oh and two very young French girls that Jim lusts over. It’s gross. Analysis The acting is amateurish. It’s nothing that’s going to win any awards or anything. The wri...
