Horror Movie Project

Western's were popular in the thirties. The Internet Movie Database lists only 14 horror movies from 1934 with 72 westerns. It was only a matter of time before there was a bleed over film. This is that movie. Horribly acted and produced. This forty-five minuet short felt like it had a great deal of potential. I felt as if the filmmakers were confused when they made it. The garb was a mix of modern-for-the-era-chic and western wear. It was pretty horrible. A band of thieves and bandits take over a town and murder their way to power. They start with an innocent family and go from there. Years later, many of the members are being murdered in some pretty vicious ways by a killer known as ' The Rawhide Terror'. Riveting, no?   The acting is oblivious to the nature of the scenes in which they were filmed. It's like the movie has no direction. Some of the actors would over sell their lines and the others would sound too nonchalant in the delivery. The ten gallon ha

Black Moon is something else. It's not really a scary horror movie. I feel that the movie was made to make white people second guess their take on black people. The movie is highly bigoted and narrow minded. It is argued that this is just a product of the time but that's bull. Plenty of people had their heads on straight back then. Just not the majority of them. So yeah, this movie is pretty racist.  The plot revolves around this woman named Juanita and her family. Her parents were massacred in a Voodoo ritual when she was a little girl. She narrowly escaped then.

All of this is unknown to her husband Stephen played by Jack Lane, who sends Juanita, their daughter, and his mistress secretary to the island to help Juanita relieve stress. That's when things start to go wrong.  If you can get past all of the blatant racist remarks then you might actually see a pretty

THE killer ape movie that actually succeeded and gave us a figure more recognizable than James Whale's Frankenstein's Monster. King Kong is one of the greatest movies about a giant ape ever made! I can say that with the utmost confidence. For the limits that the directors faced at the time, they did a really good job making the audience really believe in Kong. That is the main drawing point for this movie. The acting is just about as good as you would expect it. Fay Wray is our damsel in distress, starring in this picture masterfully alongside Bruce Cabot, Robert Armstrong, Frank Reicher, and of course Kong himself.  A crew decides to make a movie on a remote island. While out on the island they discover Kong the giant gorilla that sets his eyes on Ann Darrow. Never one to miss an opportunity Carl Denham decides to capture the beast and bring him back to New York as an attraction. However, things go wrong and Kong goes nuts. The flashbulbs and gawking humans offend t
