Carriers (Review)

CarriersCarriers (2009)Directed by Alex and David PastorIt's New Year's Eve! What better way to end 2009 with a post apocalyptic movie, right? So with my last post of 2009, I bring you my review of Carriers.Carriers is sorta a uber depressing version of Zombieland without the funny and kinetic moving zombies. There are 4 people (2 dudes and 2 dudettes), they have their own "rules" and they are traveling the US of A to get to a happy place. See what...

Deadgirl (Review)

DeadgirlDeadgirl (2009)Directed by Marcel Sarmiento and Gadi Harel "Wanna see a dead body?"Deadgirl is like a depraved, warped up horror version of Stand by Me. Think an indie film with a horror element Romero-ed into it. Such is the beauty and the chill sicko-ness of Deadgirl, definitely one of the top 10 horror movies of 2009.I've seen films where as I'm watching I feel really ashamed to be seeing this. Deadgirl so disturbing yet highly provocative...

After Dark Horrorfest 4 (Trailers)

Will any of these 8 movies actually be good? After watching 7 of the 8 movies from Horrorfest 3, I can say all of them were scratch your eyeballs bad.

So like I did before, I've posted as many of the trailers I could find for all the movies below. Also included are my thoughts on each of them solely based on the trailer.Which...

Thirst (Review)

Thirst (Bakjwi)Thirst (2009)Directed by Chan-wook ParkWhere do I start? When a movie plays out so magnificently as Chan-Wook Park's Thirst, you applaud and you feel like a million bucks afterwards. It's simply genius that Park can take the vampire and create a story interwoven with identity, betrayal, moralilty and love.I absolutely loved the film in all its awesomness even with a disjointed 3 part act. The critics will squeal it goes from a priest...

Best Movies of 2009 You May Have Missed (and others you saw multiple times)

Don't worry, my Top 10 Horror Movies of 2009 is coming next month (early January). But I wanted to make a list of some of the best non-horror movies I saw this year. I've broken out into the "Box Office Elephants" (your standard summer blockbusters) and the "You heard of these and you still didn't go see it" (straight to DVD, independents, DVDs picked up by US distributors, etc.)Some of these movies were awesome, some were awesome if you went in...

Grace (Review)

GraceGrace (2009)Directed by Paul SoletSo is this what Blade's mother went through?I've been watching the supposed "best" horror movies of 2009 so I can make a solid list of the years best. Grace has been put on many of these lists and I went in thinking this was a shoe in to be on there.Well horror minions, its not going to be.It's a very well made flick, the aura of the mommy and daughter bond is nurturingly depraved but all in all, I just didn't...

5150 Elm's Way (Trailer)

Courtesy of Bloody Disgusting comes this little French-Canadian psychological horror mind f*ck of a film. After watching the trailer, it has the feel of Inside and a mix of Funny Games. Something just resonated and impulsed me to put up the trailer.Here be the plot.5150 ELM'S WAY is located at the end of a quiet street in a small town. When Yannick fell off his bike, he knocked at the door of the Beaulieu residence so he could clean the blood off...

Drag Me To Hell (Review)

Drag Me To HellDrag Me To Hell (2009)Directed by Sam RaimiThere was some ying but no yang.That's the best way to describe my feelings towards Drag Me To Hell. I too was excited by Raimi's returning to his horror roots. So going in and finally watching this, I was a little hyped. But as I watched the movie I noticed something that bothered me.I couldn't watch the movie without flashbacking to what I liked about Raimi's other flicks. Evil Dead series,...

The WTF List: The Box

Oh this is going to be an interesting WTF List. Why? Because as a Richard Kelly fan (I absolutely loved Donnie Darko and hated Southland Tales) I was totally pulled in so many different directions wit this flick.It's 2 freakin hours and I had seen the episode called "Button, Button" on the new Twilight Zone. I posted up the trailerand the episode a while back. So I knew there was a kinda twisty twist in here. But its all the rest of the confusion...

Orphan (Review)

OrphanOrphan (2009)Directed Jaume Collet-Serra"If I find out that you're lying, I'll cut your hairless little prick off before you even figure out what it's for. Do you understand me?"-EstherThey don't call me the jaded viewer for nothing.I am totally being honest here. I called the twist in the Orphan once they introduced her character which was 30 or so minutes in (once I saw her paintings). I've seen alot of these type of movies and I'm good at...
