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... Regan is still possessed by Puzuzu. She splits in two... i dunno. There is Linda Blair in a negligee though, and multiple demon shots. I guess you could rent this movie if you have the free time. James Earl Jones is in the movie too, that gives it the littlest of little credit. This is the same year that he did the voice of Vader.

So if you have the time go rent it, if you want to avoid it, avoid it. This is not a recommendation and more of a warning. It only proved that the Exorcist should not of been continued, just left at one, perfect, movie. 4 of 10 for Exorcist 2.

S!D

  • The movie was released in theaters like 3 times
  • They offered the movie to Stanley Kubrick

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...
