Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977) - John Boorman

So I watched the Exorcist 2 on VHS. I really love the cover of the video and the creepieness of the box. That is about all that is creepy about this confusing fuck of a movie. I do like seeing all of the different exorcisms but I think that the movie is the dullest and most boring movies I have ever seen. I really liked the Exorcist and I wish that they never made any sequels. John Boorman directed Deliverance and you would think that he would of done this movie justice. Unfortunately he directed Beyond Rangoon as well. The movie expands more than it should and tries to relapse into the first movie but does it in a slow and off way. The first movie was so amazing in contrast, its like night and day. The first movie was long and drawn out in the best way possible, it drug you into the movie and set you up for amazing payoff. This is a different type of movie that would of done better in an hour and a half. If you haven't seen this movie the plot goes something like this... Rega

Scream (1996) - Wes Craven

Scream will always hold a special place in my heart. On a rainy day in 1996, I went to the dollar theater and payed $1.00 to see Scream back to back with, The Pest, I think. Scream was, and is, a really fun movie to watch at a party or even just on your own. The movie is iconic with the 90's and I love it! Everyone in High School would ask "Do you like Scary Movies!" That was actually a period of time. Like Austin Powers and the "Yeah Baby" phase, America went through a "Do you like Scary Movies?" phase. I am also pretty sure that either you or someone that you know went as the killer from this movie for Halloween. With big name actors like Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Lillard, Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, and Drew Barrymore. This movie was gold from frame one. The movie is about a small town called Woodsboro, which is being terrorized by a masked killer. The killer is focusing on young Sidney Prescott. A girl who's mother was mu

Club Dread (2004) - Jay Chandrasekhar

I am a big fan of Super Troopers, I thought that it had to of been one of the funniest movies released that year. I was really excited when I heard that Broken Lizard would be working on a new movie, Club Dread. I was really disappointed when I saw this movie for the first time. Maybe I went into it expecting to see Super Troopers 2, what I got was a lame attempt at comedy! Well watching the movie a few years later I found that it was actually a pretty decent horror.  The movie looks like it parody's 90's slasher horror movies like I Know What You Did Last Summer. The movie also has some pretty decent humor and really funny characters. If you haven't seen the movie I suggest that you go out and rent it. The movie focus's on the staff of an island resort called Coconut Pete's. There is a killer who is picking off people one by one and it is up to the staff to stop them. The entire time that the killer is stalking and killing resort members, the party

The Crazies (2010) - Breck Eisner

A while ago, George Romero, of Night of the Living Dead fame directed a movie that I reviewed called "The Crazies." Well Breck Eisner, who directed the abortion of a movie Sahara, showed up and thought that he could take the reigns as director for this remake. The original movie was short on a lot of aspects, from the acting to the plot, George Romero couldn't deliver. Breck Eisner can't deliver either, even with some really awesome characters, the movie just migrates south. The movie is about a small town, in which a plane has crashed and is infecting the townsfolk. There are more details, but that is all that I am going to divulge. Oh and Timothy Olyphant is the hero sheriff of the movie. I really like this guy, the actor at least, he kills it in Go and he destroys it in The Girl Next Door. In this movie however the Sheriff is really the worst character leading friends and family into harms way. The best character is the Deputy, who is awesomely bad ass!
