Horror Movie Project

This movie is genius. I found this while browsing around on Shudder. Made to look like a VHS recording of a block of television on Halloween in 1987. This horror movie keeps the air light enough that it is a perfect selection for a playlist for a Halloween party. It's fun, it's creative and it has a great feel. I just fell in love from first sight.  As I had explained above. This movie is presented as a block of television from 1987. It comes complete with commercials and bumpers for two full programs. The WNUF Evening News and the WNUF Halloween Special. The focus seems to be on the Halloween Special where special reporter and local goofball Frank Stewart, take a group of paranormal investigators and unlucky people through an actual Haunted House. Things go awry of course and something ends up killing off members of the crew. It turns out that Frank Stewart doesn't have long to live and it will all be caught on tape! The films tension is broken up tedious

V/H/S 2 is terrifying. It's a anthology horror movie, like it's predecessor that pays homage to anthology horrors of the past. You see shades of Creepshow , Darkside, and Black Sabbath . However, the directors do such a good job of staying creative and keeping the viewers interested. It isn't just another found footage horror movie. This one has teeth. The four tales and over-arcing story-line are all presented really well. A couple of private investigators stumble onto a series of disturbing videos while looking for a missing teenager. The videos that they find are all stand alone stories that have different antagonists all around. You have ghosts haunting a douchebag, a really original and authentic approach to the zombie genre, dumb twenty-somethings visiting a crazy satanic cult in Indonesia, and really creepy, really cool aliens that come to abduct kids at a sleep over. All of these stories are really creative and different. The acting doesn't matter becau

The House of the Devil is such an intriguing movie right from the beginning. Ti West does a great job of making you feel like you are watching an old VHS.  Remember those days. Walking down to the video store and picking up some creepy looking movie, judged solely by the cover. Those were the days. West does a great job of taking everything that I remember about watching those movies and shoving it into an hour and a half. The soundtrack, the style, the feel... its all from the eighties.  The House of the Devil is a really cool movie that deserves some attention. Ti West is a new comer to film making that had a lot to prove following his debut flop, Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever . A follow-up to Eli Roth's awesome Cabin Fever .  The plot revolves around a young girl that answers an ad looking for a babysitter, to house sit for the evening. The girl that replies gets the deal of a lifetime. She goes to the house and ends up meeting the weirdest family. They are eccentric

The horror genre was sinking there for awhile in the 90's and early 00's. The recoil from the Gore censorship movement had made its impact and the fallout from that lasted for quite awhile. Scary or original horror content was almost non-existent. Everything was just a re-hashing of something that had already been around since the seventies or eighties. In the mid to late 00's, "found footage" horror movie have done relatively well. This particular installment is my example of how a "found footage" horror movie should be. This has an interesting back-story and tells a couple of tales that are all horribly frightening. The coolest part is, each director has lent their hands to this project. They each direct a different scene. The movie has an over-arching story about these mindless thuggish type characters that are on a job to find a VHS tape that is located somewhere in this creepy house. To their delight and displeasure, they find a huge lot

So its 2011 now... 2010 was a huge year for me with Horror Movie Project. Thanks to everyone who has visited and taken an interest in the site, and thanks to everyone who has linked to me. Thank you everyone on Rotten Tomatoes and Facebook for your cool support. Thank you Better Board. You guys rock. So a good friend of mine suggested that we sit down and watch C.H.U.D. I had never heard of the movie before, so I agreed. We grabbed a couple beers and sat down to be entertained by the unknown. The plot is pretty thin. There's an evil conglomerate that is dumping nuclear waste in the sewers of New York where a community of homeless people live. Naturally a few of the homeless mutated and became C.H.U.D.'s Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. I couldn't have guessed that I would turn this movie on and see actors like Daniel Stern and John Goodman making cameo appearances. I didn't know that I would be taken by the movie's comedy whether it be inte

Let me give you a quick rundown of the madness that goes on in this rare-gem in the rough of horror crap: A satanic television spews out zombies all over a small suburban area while two siblings and a Waylon Jennings look-a-like have to stop 'em from spreading out and killing everyone. All that before the parents come back from their vacation in Saudi Arabia. That's right Saudi Arabia! What are you gonna go for when the recently awakened undead prowls your streets? Not the weapons these chuckle-heads break-out. " Kill the body and the head will die ." - Smokin' Joe Frazier These words rang true in most zombie movies up until this point. Instead of the usual Romero kill, you either have to make them think that they are dead. In which case they would just lay on the ground and die eventually of starvation or you could lock them all in an enclosed area where they would eat each other. How strange. Kinda boring when you really break down the zombie genre l

B-Movie paradise with this little POS movie that I found at Goodwill a few months ago. Meateater or The Meateater is really a bizarre little trip to a abandoned movie theater where an old projectionist, with an obsession with a girl named jean, is terrorizing the new owners! There is really no real mystery and the movie does move along with shameless plugs for random meat packing companies. This really kind of reminds me of an old 80's B Flick called Parents with Randy Quaid, really Bizarre. I don't know if the Director of this flick was paying attention to his shots because alot is cut out. It just might of been in the transfer from film to VHS but it looks horrible. The acting is pretty good considering they didn't have much money. The storyline is pretty solid all the way through with not many side trails. This really is actually a well done POS. On the horror scale, nothing about this really scared me. It could probably pass today as an episode of "Are y
