Halloween Movie 2 Recommended Quills 2000

Quills, released in 2000, is a Gothic story that has a strong sexual tone. In a repressive age, one could not express all their thoughts in public writings. This is unfortunate for a writer, who is obsessed with his preferred subjects and writing, that ends up in an asylum.

Several horrors commence as his writing continues no matter what his tormentors do to him.

Halloween Movie Recommendation 1-Perfume: The Story of A Murderer 2006

Perfume: The Story of A Murderer is gothic and disturbing fun. Dustin Hoffman plays a small role in this film. This is a horror movie that appeals to the serial killer fans and relies on getting across one unusual sense for a movie.

This is not a slasher film or one that relies on blood and gore. The evil or lack of soul in the character will haunt you. This is an orginal story that is unlike other horror movies. If you like a mind tease rather than a quick kill, this is the movie for you.

Vacancy 2

I believe this is a prequel to Vacancy. Vacancy blew me away. You gotta sort of know that 2 anything just isn't going to have the surprise or punch. On occasion there are some number twos that are pretty awesome. In the movies, you know what I meant.

Jeepers Creepers two, a pretty good sequel. Star Wars two and three, of the orginal series, all good as far as I am concerned. The Mummy 2, awesome.

Vacancy 2? It fell flat for me. It didn't capture my interest at all. There were some things about the first movie that just made you clutch your bed sheets to your chest. I am pretty sure I was surfing the internet during most of the movie. It wasn't horrible, it was mildly entertaining. If you didn't see Vacancy the first movie, I doubt that this one would surprise you terribly as a stand alone film.

Oh shoot, Hostel 2. fantastic!!! I actually think 2 might have been a bit creepier than one.

Tormented 1959 or 60?

There was a recent gem that I found called Tormented. A little hokey in that it was on the cusp of 59/60, so you got some interesting "lingo". All in all, it did remind me of a ghost movie that I think Meryl Streep in The French Lieutenant's woman. Something about a widow that had an illicit affair in Victorian or earlier times with a soldier. I will have to look it up later. I am not really sure it was a ghost story or a redo of a famous Greta Garbo movie where she jumped in front of a train at the end, after a similar affair.

Dead Silence 2007

Dead Silence is the movie of my day. And it has family estrangement in it, so I'm a gonna use it!!! I don't really want to ruin any of the mystery so I will summarize it briefly.

Couple, who are married and in love, receive ventriloquist dummy in unmarked package at their door. Some mention of like "oh isn't that like the scary poem our parents used to tell us?" Sadly didn't prompt them to throw out doll right there. Tragedy strikes. Cops on wrong trail. Husband to solve crime, and the mystery begins......After a trip back to creepy home town with creepier father with new young wifey. Not perhaps the best acting that I have seen, but decent plot and twists that had me not nodding off. Wasn't quite scared by it, per say. Even though it's about creepy dolls. Maybe I have just seen too many movies about creepy dolls.

Suburban Nightmare 2004, The Dark Hours 2005, Taboo 2002

Note: For movies I like, I now have a category called "Recomend Movies". Any movies not tagged that, are crappy IMH(humble)O. I love Netflix and the amount of movies you can see in a month for little money. Many times these movies are crap. And pretty much, if you can play those movies on your computer, instead of waiting to receive them in the mail, I am learning the craptistics of that being true go up significantly.

These aren't gems, but I do occasionally find gems that make it all worth it, and have learned to pull movies (unless they are providing background noise) out of the DVD if they are truly not worthy.

Here is my crap list for this week. Also, remember the crappier the less I remember about the plot. These aren't real horrid crap, and if things had been done at all a little bit creatively, we might have had something here. They ranged from good but you gave the twist away right at the beginning, sort of interesting but all themes have been done to death and you didn't do any of them very well, and well typical.

Suburban Nightmare: Even darker Mr and Mrs Smith. They are serial killers however, but their marriage is on the rocks. Interesting concept, but in the end same old same old. You got your cannibalism, hostage in the basement, screaming, and various tools of the trade. Could have easily lived with out it.

The Dark Hours pretty much gave it's twist away in the beginning. Unless you aren't terribly observant, you are going to get what is going on right away. Ending reminded me of "Wild Things" except you are thinking "no duh".

Taboo: Think Dangerous Liasons or the related Cruel Intentions. Except this has all been done to death, and this movie is horribly done. Boring, first of all. I wanted them all to die.

Grindhouse Road 2007

Grindhouse'>http://www.rhitv.com/Movie.aspx?id=50">Grindhouse Road is, I believe, a made for tv movie. It's pretty fair, however. The plot was interesting, and I was not bored. Good mystery plot. I don't know how scared I actually got. In other words, a jaded horror movie like me is not going to find the movie too scary.

Kept me guessing, however, which is unusual and I like.

It's hard to describe much of this movie without being a major spoiler. Are the helpful nice neighbors really helpful nice neighbors? Why is the wife and new owner in the house SO interested in it's history when she has her own personal problems going on? What are those flashbacks all about? The mystery of the house was pretty decent for a made for tv movie.
