Army of Darkness                   This is a 1992 American horror comedy film directed by Sam Raimi. It is the third instalment of the Evil Dead franchise.   The Plot   A man is accidentally transported to 1300 A.D., where he must battle an army of the dead and retrieve the Necronomicon so he can return home.               Well this one was certainly different. I did like this one a lot! I liked that it was set in a different place.   The acting was really good!             At some points of this film I felt it was a little stupid, but fun at times. I did feel it lacked a little in more of the horror element. I just felt little too more action and silly rather than straight up horror. As I didn’t really know what I was going into, it did still became I reall...

Evil Dead II               This is a 1987 American horror comedy film directed by Sam Raimi and a parody sequel to the 1981 film The Evil Dead.   The Plot   The lone survivor of a blitz of flesh-possessing spirits holds up in a cabin with a group of strangers while the demons continue their attack.               Well this was bloody fun. I really enjoyed this one a lot. Unfortunately I do prefer this to the first ‘original’ evil dead film.   The acting is very good. The score suited the film nicely.   I do find that in this one there is a lot more ‘dark comedy’ side to the first one which I did prefer. A good example of this is in the scene where Ash and all the other objects in the room starting laughing; that was funny.                   ...

The Evil Dead               This is a 1981 American horror film written and directed by Sam Raimi and executive produced by Raimi and Bruce Campbell, who also stars alongside Ellen Sandweiss and Betsy Baker.   The Plot Five friends travel to a cabin in the woods, where they unknowingly release flesh-possessing demons.             This film was great. It was a lot different to what I thought it would be like. I actually thought it be full on gore from start to finish, which it isn’t.   The acting in this film was very good. The score was as well; it suited the tone of the film.   It is definitely one of those fun 80s horror flicks for sure. The gore in this was very good, there wasn’t an extreme overdose amount of it, but wasn’t too little amount of it. That is good!!           The...

Return of the Killer Tomatoes! This is a 1988 horror comedy, was the first sequel to Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. It stars George Clooney. The Plot Crazy old Professor Gangreen has developed a way to make tomatoes look human for a second invasion.   Wow this is not what I expected. This is indeed very cheesy but a fun film. This is very enjoyable to watch, the acting was alright. The score was alright it definitely has that 80s vibe to it for sure. This was one of George Clooney’s earliest acting roles. The plot was very cheesy but fun. There are some over the top scenes at times. The opening scenes were very cheesy.   Overall, this is very enjoyable cheesy fun film. I recommend if you want to watch something very fun.  It puts you in a good mood as well. Rating: 6/10

The Town That Dreaded Sundown   This is a 1976 American horror film by producer and director Charles B. Pierce who also co-stars in it.     The Plot   A Texas Ranger hunts for a hooded serial killer terrorizing the residents of a small town, set in 1946 Arkansas. This is loosely based on a true story.   Well, this one was a lot different to the remake one for sure. I enjoyed this one a lot.   The acting and the score in this film is very good.   This film seemed to have a bit of a comedic side to it at times. There are some weird but funny scenes in this film which is a lot different to the remake.   The picture quality transfer to this film is pretty good.   I do slightly prefer the remake over this. The ending is a lot different to the remake. The ending was alright but not as good as the remake.   I don’t have any favourite scene...

The Town That Dreaded Sundown   This is a 2014 American slasher horror film, a meta-sequel to the 1976 film of the same name. Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon in his feature-length directorial debut. The film was written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa   and produced by Ryan Murphy and Jason Blum.   The Plot   65 years after a masked serial killer terrorized the small town of Texarkana, the so-called 'moonlight murders' begin again. Is it a copycat or something even more sinister? A lonely high school girl, with dark secrets of her own, may be the key to catching him.   Wow well this was a very good horror remake. I haven’t seen the original yet, but as a remake it is very good. As, nowadays there aren’t that many great horror remakes out there.   This film is very well directed. Some of the shots in this film are very good. I really liked that it linked in with the original film at times, which I thought was p...

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...
