ZoeMovieReviews: Shivers

Shivers

This is a 1975 Canadian science fiction body horror film written and directed by David Cronenberg.

The Plot

Residents of a suburban high-rise apartment building are being infected by a strain of parasites that turn them into mindless, sex-crazed terrors out to infect others by the slightest sexual contact.

This is a very bizarre film. It is a much less gory film as I intended for it to be. I did like the film but not as much as Rabid.

The acting in this film is very good and the score to this film is good as well.

I did find at the start of the film when there is a voice over and the man is talking about Starliner Island it was very interesting.

This film isn’t shocking as I thought it would be although at the time it came out it probably would be shocking.

There are some great scenes in this film. When the man throws up and the blood lands on an old woman’s umbrella; thought it was funny. When the professor attacks the young girl and he then cuts her open. Then after that he cuts he’s throat that scene was very weird.

Some of the scenes are very bizarre and bit sexual at times. Which it didn’t bother me too much. It isn’t too gory so almost anyone could watch it if like horror and weird films.

I did like the ending to the film. I thought the ending was great, probably my favourite part. Croneberg directing in this film is very good.

Overall, I thought the film was alright. I prefer Rabid to this though. I would still recommend this but it is really bizarre and lot of sexual orientated stuff happens a lot. This film is not for everyone but if you like horror and weird films I think this is right up your alley!

Rating: 7/10

Glossy Box Reviews

Glossy Box April Review Hey guys, I was thinking of doing a few beauty reviews here and there on here. That's because I do like trying out new beauty products and helping others by recommending them any products they have interest in. So, today I am reviewing this month's GlossyBox. Here is the youtube video I made if you want to check that out as well: GlossyBox video When you open up the box it is packaged nice and looks really pretty. Its very pink themed and it comes with pink tissue paper and black tissue paper to hold the products in safely as well as looking nice. This is what the inside of the glossy box looks like.

The first item that is in the box is: Elgon Deliwash cleansing conditioner . This costs £14.50. This is a shampoo and conditioner all in one. This means you can use it multiple times, without using too many pr...

ZoeMovieReviews: Grave Encounters

Grave Encounters This is a 2011 Canadian supernatural horror film, shot found footage style. The Plot For their ghost hunting reality show, a production crew locks themselves inside an abandoned mental hospital that's supposedly haunted - and it might prove to be all too true. Wow this probably one of the more decent and better found footage films I have seen in a long time. I liked the whole idea that it was part of their ghost hunting reality show – thought that was cool. At the start when the host was interviewing people, the part when he ask a man if he has seen any ghosts or anything like that and just gives him 20 bucks to pretend to say that he has. That was so funny! The acting was really good in this. I find that this film has a lot more interesting and creepy stuff than any of those paranormal activity films. This film, isn’t scary...
