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...

Exam   This is a 2009 British psychological thriller film written by Simon Garrity and Stuart Hazeldine, directed by Hazeldine, and starring Colin Salmon, Chris Carey, Jimi Mistry, Luke Mably, Gemma Chan, Chuk Iwuji, John Lloyd Fillingham, Pollyanna McIntosh, Adar Beck and Nathalie Cox. The Plot The final candidates for a highly desirable corporate job are locked together in an exam room and given a test so simple and confusing that tension begins to unravel.   This film is very good. It is awesome. The opening scene for each candidate was a great way to introduce the film. The acting in this film was very good. The score suited the tone of the film. This is a film where you actually have to concentrate. It is mind bending.   Unfortunately I can’t describe any of the scenes to you as it might give spoilers and I don’t want to ruin the film. This is because you need to concentrate when you are wat...

Nekromantik This is a 1987 West German horror film directed by Jörg Buttgereit. It is known to be frequently controversial, banned in a number of countries, and has become a cult film over the years due to its transgressive subject matter (including necrophilia) and audacious imagery.   The Plot   A street sweeper who cleans up after grisly accidents brings home a full corpse for him and his wife to enjoy sexually, but is dismayed to see that his wife prefers the corpse over him.   Well this film was certainly unique and weird. I’m not too sure if I like this film or not; although it wasn’t as bad as what I thought it would be.   The score in this film was really good and I really like it. The acting was very good.   There are many weird and weird sexual scenes in this film, which didn’t bother me too much.   The scenes that bothered me the most is the rabbit and the cat. I am not going into details how they di...

The Voices   This is a 2014 psychological horror comedy film directed by Marjane Satrapi and written by Michael R. Perry. The film stars Ryan Reynolds, Gemma Arterton, Anna Kendrick, and Jacki Weaver.   The Plot   A likable guy pursues his office crush with the help of his evil talking pets, but things turn sinister when she stands him up for a date.   I loved this film so much. This is probably one of Ryan Reynolds best performances ever. He did amazingly in he’s role.   The music at the end was very cheesy and funny. The score was alright.   I really liked the fact that the dog and cat can talk to Jerry.   The acting was really good. I just loved it.   I have no favourite scenes because I just loved the whole movie, probably one of my new favourite Ryan Reynolds films. I liked how its quirky as well.   Overall, I just love this movie. Highly recomm...

Cabin Fever   This is a 2002 American black comedy horror film directed by Eli Roth and starring Rider Strong, Jordan Ladd, James DeBello and Giuseppe Andrews.   The Plot   A group of five college graduates rent a cabin in the woods and begin to fall victim to a horrifying flesh-eating virus, which attracts the unwanted attention of the destructive locals.   This film was great fun!! I enjoyed it a lot. I really liked the concept idea and I think this movie did a great job of that.   The music was ok but it did suit the tone of the film.   The acting was alright. The actor who played Paul he was really good.   There was a few black comedy moments here and there which is always good. I didn’t really have any favourite particular scenes from this film though.   I did like the fact it would paced itself slowly with the gore and towards the end it was bit gorier; ...
