This is actually a really good movie if you ask me. A lost and found kinda movie. Alot like the paranormal movies. If you dont like that, this isnt for you. But for me i really enjoyed this one. A story a bit "out there" wich i like. Great moments trough-out. Fast paced horrorflick really. And this blurayset offers great sound too. And it got some cool extras. All in all, a really good horror flick.

Extras:
NONE

My Thoughts:

I thought this would be a fun way to start my Horror/Halloween marathon. This is one I find to be a little more on the silly side then actually frightening. But I believe that is what William Castle was going for. A silly, spooky story. Though obviously the spookiness does not hold up in today's day and age. But it till makes for an enjoyable viewing experience. I would say it is definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

My Thoughts:
Heard alot of great things about this one tho, and since i liked the first one. And the movie was actually very good, a bit different then what i expected it to be. I guess i expected a story similar to Cloverfield, but they made it work with how they did things tho. It keeps a steady pace trough-out. And the last 10minutes of the movie was a bit suprising tho. Makes me wonder if there will be a new movie down the line. Really enjoyed it. Check it out

Title: Village of the Damned
IMDb |Wikipedia |Trailer |
Year: 1960
Director: Wolf Rilla
Writer: Stirling Silliphant (Screenwriter), Wolf Rilla (Screenwriter), Ronald Kinnoch [George Barclay] (Screenwriter), John Wyndham (Original Material By)
Rating: NR
Length: 77 Min.
Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85:1
Audio: English: Dolby Digital: Mono, French: Dolby Digital: Mono, Commentary: Dolby Digital: Mono
Subtitles: English, French, Spanish

Stars:
George Sanders as Gordon Zellaby

Laurence Naismith as Doctor Willers
The Villagers

Plot:
We have met the enemies and they are our children. Well, perhaps not our children, and that's the problem: they are the offspring of aliens who secretly impregnated human women!

That's the riveting premise of Village of the Damned, a science-fiction classic rife with paranoia and set in England's tiny Midwich. There, the glow-eyed humanoids develop at an alarming rate and use astonishing powers of mind to assert their supremacy. Woe to parents or anyone who defies them. Yet one intrepid soul (George Sanders) does. It's "yesterday Midwich, tomorrow the world" in the sequel Children of the Damned. Unusually gifted youngsters who may be a leap forward in human evolution are brought from around the globe to England for scientific study – and then the terror hits with full force. Children, behave!

My Thoughts:

Another classic. This one I found much more interesting.... and a film that takes itself much more seriously. In most movies I find the fact that it is in black and white to be of no matter what so ever. But for some reason in this case it feels as if the fact that it is in black and white actually adds to the enjoyment of the film. It is a good story line that moves rather quickly. It is one I would recommend checking out.

My Thoughts:
I decided to revisit the hostel series, long time since i've seen them. And the first one in the series is a good horror flick. As we all know Tarantino is the master of gore and blood. More blood the better huh? Got some great scenes trough-out. Some nasty spots trough-out. The acting wasnt any good, but that whats to expect i guess. Looking forward to part 2. This movie is more a "get to know" the characters kinda.

My Thoughts:
So, i've used the weekend good so far. Gotten a few movies in. Going in to this one, i thought i would remember a bit more from it. But i didnt. Alot of scenes and spots i didnt remember. Wich is a good thing ofc. In this one they have kinda switched the roles, and decide to target the girls\women instead of the boys. And the movie has some good nasty moments. Again Tarantino loves his blood and nasty parts. And i know its only a movie and all are actors\actresses. But whats wrong with people really? Some sick ones out there. So i guess all that makes for a good horror movie. And this bluray got alot more extras, some deleted scenes and blooperes. Great.

PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE NEXT TERRIFYING CHAPTER

High stakes gambling takes on a sinister new meaning in this third chapter of the terrifying HOSTEL series. While attending a bachelor party in Las Vegas, four friends are enticed by two sexy excorts to join them at a private party way off the Strip. Once there, they are horrified to find themselves the subjects of a perverse game of torture, where members of the Elite Hunting Club are hosting the most sadistic show in town.

Extras:
Scene Access

My Thoughts:
Well, this one i rememerd alot from. We got a similar story as the two other movies. But this time they decide to take it all to Las Vegas. And we have a few good spots here and there in this one too. But not enough IMHO. This movie is more slow paced then the other two. In this they focus more on the gambling and not the horror and gore. This is the worst of the 3. Nothing more than a medium. Could have done much more with it IMHO.

My Thoughts:

This is one of the first classic monster movies I ever seen.... and definitely one of my favorites. I love this movie! I especially like how well done the Wolf Man makeup is done. Especially considering the age of this movie. Lon Chaney, Jr. did an awesome job at playing both the tortured soul of Larry Talbot as well as The Wolf Man. And even though is only a small part I enjoyed Bela Lugosi as Bela, the gypsy. This is a movie I have watched many times... and sure I will continue to enjoy many more times to come.

So i havent watched this since it first came out, and i really enjoyed then. So i decided to rewatch it before work. And this is a movie i dont mind rewatching. And the movie is actually one of the better horror movies i've watched lately. The story is very simple, but it got alot of great moments trough-out. There are some people that are trapped inside a house, and to get out they need to avoid being killed by all the traps. This movie reminds me of SAW. Lot of similar spots! All in all, a great horror flick. Check it out.

Plot:
This classic horror favorite stars Vincent Price as Frederick Loren, an eccentric and sinister old man who offers his enemies $10,000 each if they stay the night in his creepy old mansion. Sounds like easy money right? Frederick does his best to scare his guests into leaving early. Little does he realise that someone in the house is out to get him!

When this film first appeared in theaters a skeleton would appear in the theater at a key moment in the film. Eventually filmgoers got wise to the skeleton and began pelting it with candy. Even without the gimicks, The House on Hauntd Hill is spooky good fun. Watch if if you dare...

My Thoughts:

What is an October marathon without Vincent Price? And this is one of my favorites. Sure it has it's share of campiness but what Willaim Castle film does not? While the entire cast did a good job... I especially enjoyed (of course) Vincent Price as well as Elisha Cook. This one has a great story line... the setting fits perfectly. This is definitely one I would recommend.

My Thoughts:

I watched this one with my daughter Brittany today. Her pick. I found it to be a fun... albeit silly film. But I am sure it was meant to be. After all it is a family Halloween film so it is children friendly for the most part. Through some of it I was annoyed with the main cast's over-acting. But once I got used to the idea it added to the fun. I can see adding this to my yearly Halloween viewing... though for me it is more to make fun of and laugh at. I feel comfortable recommending this one... it is worth the time put in to watch it.

So after a long day at work, i'm finally home. And i decided to check this one out before i went to bed. Only heard great things about it, so i decided to get and now i finally had some time to watch it. And i watched the trailer and liked it. But when the movie started it wasnt quite what i expected it to be. The story was a bit different then what i thought it would be, but a good story nonetheless. The movie also had some great moments trough out. And for i think it was cool to see Jessica Chastain in this movie. I'm not used to her playing those kinda roles. But made it work. Now i'm heading to bed. Long day tomorrow aswell. Hopefully i will find some time to watch 1 or 2 movies tomorrow too.

My Thoughts:

Granted this one is for the fans of the books and TV series. for me it is a lot of nostalgia of watching the TV episodes with my daughter. I really enjoyed this film...and love the fact that I got to watch this one with my daughter since we enjoyed watching the series so much when she was a kid. I think they did a good job at bringing a lot of the characters from the series to film. Jack Black has always been hit and miss for me... but I really liked him playing R. L. Stine. I found this one well worth the time put in to watch it... but I don't see people enjoying this one if they don't know the books or TV series.

Plot:
As ancient Transylvania struggles into modern times, old myths and superstitions blur with reality. Two American students, Michelle and Lillian, join their Romanian friend Mara in the Carpathian Mountains to study the legends of vampires.

While the three innocents explore the mysterious village culture and rituals, a suppressed evil rises again and casts its shadow upon the land. Unknowingly snared in a centuries-old family feud, the girls fall into the clutches of Radu: a diabolical vampire prince whose madness and bloodlust know no bounds.

To claim his birthright – the ancient Bloodstone – Radu kills his father and hunts his noble half brother Stefan. Dangerous passions erupt into violence as the vampire brothers each become obsessed with Michelle and begin to battle for her immortal soul.

Stefan's forbidden love for Michelle endangers her friends, as the jealous Radu plots to make them his undead consorts.

With Stefan's help, the girls fight for their lives against Radu and his minions – the Subspecies — an army of hellish creatures born of his own flesh. Will they survive to see the sunrise or will Radu curse them to eternal night?

My Thoughts:

I am kinda struggling on what to write about this one. I really liked the story... but the production left a bit to be desired. This film could have used a bigger budget... some of the special effects just could have been better. But over all I enjoyed the film... it is definitely worth the time to watch it.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5
