Horror Movie Reviews - Dead Silence and More

Dead Silence

Get ready for some creepy puppets. A immature adult male tax returns to his hometown to happen out the truth about his wife's murder. Was she really murdered by a ventriloquist's dummy? Storywise it felt like I was watching an episode of TV's "Supernatural" (and that's not a bad thing.) Some suspenseful scenes, but overall the film didn't appeal to me. But I have got to acknowledge the termination was cool.

Grade: 2 out of 5

The Host

A monster film that was a immense hit in Korea. Toxic chemicals poured out into the drainage make a mutant monster in the metropolis river. The monster rises and spreadings terror in the city. The action/horror scenes work well, but the film also have a eldritch comedy tone of voice that I really disliked. Some good CGI though, and a really cool monster.

Reeker

A clump of friends on a route trip end up in a deserted state town. One after the other they're attacked by an wicked creature. The twist-end works, but we've seen it before. This is a nice low-budget effort.

The Baby's Room

Spanish film (original title: The Habitacion Del Nino) about a couple with a babe moving into a new house. Soon they detect a apparitional physical thing in the nursery. This film trusts on pure temper and psychological tension, but it's not awful enough. But one scene with the babymonitor really had me on the border of my seat.

Grade: 2 out of 5.

Pulse

This is the American refashion of the Asiatic horror film "Kairo". We see Kristen Bell (TV's Veronica Mars) in this ghosts-in-the-computer techno-horror. Eerie doomsday-feeling, but scary? No, not really.

The Toolbox Murders

Tobe Hooper's remake/reimaging of the original film from 1978. A immature couple move into in a run-down apartment edifice where the tennants are killed off with tools from a toolbox. Get ready for creepy ambiance and some gore. This is a film many people hate, and quite frankly I don't understand why. This is a solid, quite chilling slasher. That's what I believe and I'm sticking to it.

Stay Alive

Some teens playing a computing machine game unleashes wicked powerfulnesses and happen out that if you decease in the game - you decease for real. I believe the book was better than how the film actually turned out. Almost no panics at all.

Grade: 1 out of 5

Into The Mirror

Asian horror where a security guard seeks to work out homicides linked to mirrors at a shopping mall. I love some of the creepy mirror scenes, but the film is slow and there's not much departure on. The concluding scene lingers in my memory. Chilling.
