CHAINED

2012

DIRECTOR:  JENNIFER CHAMBERS LYNCH
WRITERS:  DAMIAN O'DONNELL AND JENNIFER CHAMBERS LYNCH
STARRING:  VINCENT D'ONOFRIO,  EAMON FARREN, AND EVAN BIRD

I WOKE UP EARLY THIS MORNING AND THOUGHT WHAT I ALWAYS THINK WHEN I HAVE SPARE TIME...LET ME FIND THE BLOODIEST FUCKING MOVIE I CAN THAT'S FREE ON DEMAND.  SO I CAME ACROSS CHAINED WHICH IS NEWLY ADDED.  AS I STARTED IT, I DID MY TYPICAL IMDB RESEARCH TO BROWSE THROUGH THE SYNOPSIS ALONG WITH A FEW REVIEWS TO SEE WHAT TO EXPECT.  

TO MY SURPRISE, THE VIEWER'S RATINGS WERE PRETTY FAVORABLE.  MOST INSISTED IT WAS HARD TO WATCH, YET HAD POWERFUL ACTING IN IT.  I MUST ADMIT, I WAS A LITTLE UNEASY AT FIRST AND WAS EXPECTING THE WORST.  IS IT ODD THAT MY VERSION OF GRUESOMELY VIOLENT SCENES WERE WAY MORE HARDCORE THAN THE ACTUAL SCENES THE REVIEWERS WERE REFERRING TO?  I MEAN, THE ONLY TIME I LITERALLY CRINGED IS WHEN ONE CHARACTER WAS STITCHING UP A WOUND.  I'M NOT SURE IF MY MIND IS SO DEMENTED FROM WATCHING HORROR MOVIES, OR IF ALL OF THESE REVIEWS WERE WRITTEN BY PEOPLE WHO TYPICALLY FIND THEMSELVES STARRING AT A TELEVISION WHERE LITTLE DISNEY CHARACTERS DANCE ACROSS THE SCREEN.

CHAINED IS ABOUT A SERIAL KILLER WHO CAPTURES THE SON OF ONE OF HIS VICTIMS AND TRAINS HIM TO BE A HELPER IN A WAY.  HE CHAINS HIM UP FOR YEARS, TRANSFORMING HIM INTO A SERVANT WHO COOKS AND CLEANS UP THE GORE THAT SPILLS FROM ALL THE WOMEN, BUT HE ALSO DEVELOPS A TWISTED FATHER/SON RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  ALTHOUGH THE KILLER IS A VICOUS ATTACKER WHO RUTHLESSLY RAPES AND MURDERS WOMEN WITHOUT REMORSE, HE DOES NOT ENDURE THIS BEHAVIOR ON THE KID.  I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS FUCKED UP NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, BUT I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE HOW THE KILLER IS MORE INTERESTED IN TAKING THE BOY UNDER HIS WING AS OPPOSED TO HARMING HIM.  THIS FORESHADOWS THE TWIST AT THE END.  

OVERALL, I THOUGHT THIS MOVIE WAS A SUCCESS.  I DO AGREE THAT THE ACTING IS FLAWLESS.  VINCENT D'ONOFRIO IS ON POINT WITH HIS CHARACTER AND REALLY NAILS THE SERIAL KILLER PERSONA.  EAMON FARREN IS CONSISTENTLY SOLID AND PERFECTS THE TRANSITIONING OF HIS ABUSED CHARACTER'S PROGRESSION.

I ESPECIALLY LOVE HOW THE MOVIE IS TOLD FROM THE KILLER'S PERSPECTIVE.  IT'S LIKE WE ARE INSIDE THE MONSTER'S HEAD THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STORY WHICH IS UNIQUE FOR FILMS LIKE THIS.  WE EVEN SEE FLASHBACKS OF THE SERIAL KILLER BEING ABUSED AS A YOUNG BOY, ALLOWING US TO FULLY ABSORB HIS CHARACTER AS A WHOLE.  ALTHOUGH THIS WAS NOT THE MOST DISTURBING MOVIE THAT HAS EVER SCARRED ME, THERE ARE SOME TWISTED VISIONS DISPLAYED.  

THERE ARE TWO THINGS I FOUND MYSELF SHAKING MY HEAD OVER.  THE ENDING CONTAINS A TWIST, HOWEVER, I FEEL IT WAS RANDOM AND UNNECESSARY.  THIS MOVIE IS ROOTED THROUGH A CHARACTER DRIVEN PLOT AND WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST AS EFFECTIVE WITHOUT THE TWIST.  I'M NOT SAYING THE LAST SCENES WERE TERRIBLE, THEY JUST WERE NOT JAW DROPPING.  

SECONDLY, I AM INTRIGUED BY REAL LIFE SERIAL KILLERS AND AM SOMEWHAT FAMILIAR WITH THEIR MANNERISMS.  DESPITE THE FACT I THOUGHT THIS WAS ESSENTIALLY EXECUTED, I FOUND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THE KILLER WAS NOT AS OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE AS I WOULD REALISTICALLY IMAGINE HIM TO BE.  AFTER KILLING HIS PREY, HE ROUTINELY GOES THROUGH THEIR WALLET AND KEEPS THEIR CASH AND DRIVER'S LICENSES.  TYPICALLY, KILLERS TREASURE THESE ITEMS AS THEIR TROPHIES, OR REMINDERS OF THEIR CONTROL AND KILLING CONQUESTS.  THINK ABOUT DEXTER FOR EXAMPLE.  HE KEPT HIS BLOOD SLIDES HIDDEN AND ONLY DELICATELY TOUCHED THEM.   THE PREDATOR IN THIS MOVIE CHAOTICALLY THROWS THE CASH INTO A JAR.  HE ALSO PLAYS A GAME WITH THE LICENSES AND DEALS THEM OUT LIKE A DECK OF CARDS.  MY POINT IS, THE FACT THAT THE CHARACTER DOESN'T CHERISH HIS TROPHIES IS A TAD UNREALISTIC.  

I GENUINELY DIG THE FACT THAT THIS MOVIE WAS WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY A WOMAN.  CONSIDERING JENNIFER CHAMBERS LYNCH IS THE DAUGHTER OF DAVID LYNCH, HER TWISTED, YET BRILLIANT AND UNIQUE STYLE IS SELF-EVIDENTLY JUSTIFIED.

JUST ONE OF THE GUYS

1985

DIRECTOR:  LISA GOTTLIEB
WRITERS:  DENNIS FELDMAN (SCREENPLAY AND STORY) AND JEFF FRANKLIN (SCREENPLAY)
ACTORS:  JOYCE HYSER, CLAYTON ROHNER, BILLY JAYNE, TONI HUDSON, AND WILLIAM ZABKA

I LOVE THE EIGHTIES AND I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW IT!  ALTHOUGH THIS FILM AND I SHARE THE SAME BIRTH YEAR, I GREW UP WATCHING IT.  I SUPPOSE MY CONSTANT HAT WEARING AND TOM BOY STYLE IS WHAT ENCOURAGED ME TO VIEW IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.  MOVE OVER, TOOTSIE AND MRS. DOUBTFIRE...GUYS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES CROSS DRESSING NOW! 

JUST ONE OF THE GUYS IS ABOUT A GIRL WHO TRANSFORMS INTO A BOY.  SHE DOES NOT PERFORM THIS TRANSITION TO FULFILL  SEXUAL NEEDS, NOR TO RECEIVE ATTENTION.  THE REASONING BEHIND HER MADNESS IS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED FOR HER WRITING TALENT AS OPPOSED TO HER DELICATE FACE AND CURVY BODY.  

TERI HAS EVERYTHING A HIGH SCHOOLER COULD WANT.  SHE'S A BEAUTIFUL, YET  ASTUTE GIRL WITH A HANDSOME BOYFRIEND.  OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS JUST NOT ENOUGH WHEN SHE REALIZES SHE IS BEING STEREOTYPED BECAUSE OF HER GENDER AND SHORT SKIRTS.  

WHEN TERI ATTEMPTS TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE STATUS OF HER JOURNALISM STORY THAT SHE GAVE TO HER TEACHER TO ENTER INTO A COMPETITION, SHE OVER HEARS HIM DISCUSSING INAPPROPRIATE THINGS ABOUT HER WITH ANOTHER MALE TEACHER.  THIS LEADS HER TO BELIEVE THE ONLY REASON HER STORY WAS NOT CHOSEN IS BECAUSE SHE IS SOLELY LOOKED AT AS A SEX OBJECT.  SO, TERI DOES WHAT MOST EIGHTIES WOMEN WOULD NOT DARE TO EVEN PONDER ABOUT.  SHE TRANSFERS SCHOOLS AND SUBMITS THE SAME PAPER, BUT THIS TIME AS A MALE.  WHEN SHE LEARNS HER STORY STILL LACKS POTENTIAL, SHE MUST THINK OF A NEW IDEA TO SUBMIT WHILE SHE LEARNS HOW TO BLEND IN AS JUST ANOTHER GUY IN THE HALLWAYS.  

OBVIOUSLY, IT IS GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN JUST A DEEPER VOICE  FOR TERI TO DISENGAGE HERSELF FROM ALL HER FEMININITY IN ORDER TO KEEP HER "TITS" A SECRET.   TERI CONFIDES IN HER YOUNGER BROTHER WHO IS AN OBNOXIOUS AND HORNY VIRGIN ON THE HUNT FOR HIS FIRST PIECE OF...ACTION.  WITH HIS HELP, TERI LEARNS TO TALK, WALK, AND EVEN SCRATCH HER BALLS LIKE A MAN.  SHE ALSO HAS TO GET CREATIVE WHEN IT COMES TO "SKINS VS SHIRTS" IN GYM CLASS, AVOIDING GIRLS WHO WANT TO TOUCH HER PACKAGE, AND OUTWITTING HER MACHO NEMESIS.  WILLIAM ZABKA PLAYS THE BULLY AND HE IS THE SAME DICK HEAD CHARACTER HE WAS IN THE KARATE KID.  

OF COURSE I FAVOR THIS MOVIE BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS DREAMED OF HAVING THE ABILITY TO PEE STANDING UP, BUT WITH ALL BALLS, I MEAN JOKING ASIDE,  ITS CORE WILL CRACK EVERYBODY UP, REGARDLESS OF GENDER AND SEXUALITY!  

I MET JOYCE HYSER AT A MONSTER MANIA MOVIE CONVENTION IN CHERRY HILL, NJ.  SHE IS AWESOME TO SAY THE LEAST, AND MY LOVE FOR HER ABSOLUTELY SKY ROCKETED WHEN SHE AGREED TO DO MY SUGGESTED POSE FOR OUR PICTURE!  HER DOWN TO EARTH PERSONALITY AND GENUINE LOVE FOR PEOPLE CAN BE SEEN THROUGH HER FACEBOOK PAGE.  YEAH THAT'S RIGHT, WE'RE FACEBOOK FRIENDS;)

GAME OF THRONES


2011-2013
CREATORS:  DAVID BENIOFF AND D.B. WEISS
STARRING:  EMILIA CLARKE, SEAN BEAN, PETER DINKLAGE, LENA HEADEY, AND KIT HARINGTON

THIS IS QUITE OUT OF CHARACTER TO INCLUDE IN MY BLOG, HOWEVER, SOMETHING WORTHY ENOUGH TO INFLUENCE ME TO BUY TWO SEASONS AND WATCH THE THIRD ON MY COMPUTER HAS A RIGHT TO BE ON HERE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.  DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WATCH A FIGHT SCENE ON YOUR COMPUTER WITH CONSTANT SKIPS AND SYNC FAILURES?

I LOVE GAME OF THRONES.  I'M ACTUALLY GRATEFUL I MISSED THIS SHOW WHILE IT WAS AIRING.  WITH ALL DO RESPECT, HBO, I WAS ABLE TO WATCH THREE SEASONS IN TWO WEEKS AS OPPOSED TO THREE YEARS.  

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SHOWS THAT CAN NEVER BE VIEWED ON A NON PREMIUM CHANNEL AS A RESULT OF BLOOD AND SEX FILLING THE SCREEN THREE QUARTERS OF THE TIME.  IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO ROME AND SPARTACUS IN THE SENSE THAT THEY ALL TAKE PLACE IN A TIME LONG AGO WHEN DECAPITATION WAS A DAILY OCCURRENCE, THE KING IS AN ASSHOLE WHO IS CONSTANTLY AVOIDING OTHER ASSHOLES TRYING TO KILL HIM, AND YOU WISH ALL 239,387 CHARACTERS WORE NAME TAGS WITH PRONUNCIATION IN PARENTHESES.  I ALSO FIND IT QUITE ODD THAT EVERY CHARACTER IS ALWAYS  OVERWHELMINGLY SEXY OR ABSOLUTELY NAUSEATING.  THERE'S JUST NO IN BETWEEN WITH THIS.  

ALTHOUGH THIS STORY-LINE IS KILLER, I MUST ADMIT THAT ROME AND SPARTACUS WERE STUFFED WITH MORE ACTION AND SHED MORE BLOOD.  ROME IN PARTICULAR WAS UNMISTAKABLY HEAVIER IN ITS INTENSITY.  I THINK IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT A FEW PARTS ARE SO RAW THEY ARE SCARRING.  I HAVE NOT WATCHED ROME IN YEARS, YET I CAN STILL VISUALIZE A RAPE SCENE AND WHAT CAN BE MISCONSTRUED AS CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.  GAME OF THRONES REDEEMS ITSELF WITH ITS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENTS AND PLOT.  I DO WISH THOUGH, CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF CHARACTERS LISTED ON IMDB, MORE PEOPLE WOULD DIE MORE OFTEN.  

ASIDE FROM THIS, THE ONLY INCONSISTENCY I DEEPLY DESPISE IN GAME OF THRONES IS ROB STARK'S STORY-LINE .  I JUST FEEL HIS CHARACTER WAS NOT PAINTED PROFESSIONALLY NOR PASSIONATELY.  I DON'T KNOW IF I AM FOR OR AGAINST HIM BECAUSE I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIS CHARACTER.  I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO HE WAS IN THE FIRST SEASON, YET THE SECOND SEASON HE SUDDENLY GAINS POWER AND HIS SCREEN TIME INCREASES.  I  FEEL HIS COMPLEXION IS LACKING QUALITIES THAT FORCE YOU TO LOVE OR HATE HIM.  INSTEAD, I JUST DON'T CARE ABOUT HIM.  AS A MATTER OF FACT, KING JOFFREY'S CHARACTER IS SO SOLID THAT VIEWERS ROOT FOR THE NORTH JUST BECAUSE THEY DETEST JOFFREY SO MUCH.  THERE'S NO CHARACTER WHOSE DEATH I ANXIOUSLY AWAIT MORE THAN JOFFREY'S, BUT HEY, THAT'S WHAT PIERCING CHARACTER BUILDING IS ALL ABOUT.  

BY THE LOOKS OF THE PICTURES I'VE CHOSEN, IT IS QUITE PELLUCID WHO MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IS!  EMILIA CLARKE PLAYS DANERYS TARGARYEN, THE MOTHER OF DRAGONS.  IRONICALLY, SHE DOES NOT HAVE AS MUCH SCREEN TIME AS THE OTHER MAIN CHARACTERS, HOWEVER, EVERYBODY LOVES THIS BITCH! HER CHARACTER IS SO RICH IN DESCRIPTION, I LITERALLY FEEL LIKE I'VE WATCHED HER GROW UP OVER THE SEASONS.  THE FIRST TIME SHE WAS INTRODUCED, I HAD SYMPATHY IN MY HEART WHICH LED ME TO BELIEVE SHE IS A WEAK GIRL OVERWHELMED WITH VULNERABILITY AND INEXPERIENCE.  WELL TO SAY THE LEAST, SHE HAS TAUGHT ME ALONG WITH THE OTHER CHARACTERS ON THE SHOW TO NOT MISCONSTRUE HER KINDNESS AND TIMOROUS STEPS FOR WEAKNESS.  

I TRULY BELIEVE IN MY HEART THAT IF AND WHEN HER FIRE EXPLODES ON KING JOFFREY, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY WILL GIVE HER AND THE SHOW'S CREATORS A STANDING OVATION.  NOT ONLY IS DANERYS ONE OF THE BEST CHARACTERS I'VE EVER SEEN ON TELEVISION, BUT SHE AND HER HUSBAND ARE THE MOST ATTRACTIVE ON-SCREEN COUPLE MY EYES HAVE EVER BEEN EXPOSED TO.  HEY BILL AND SOOKIE, YOU WISH YOU WERE THIS HOT.  















P.S.  EMILIA CLARKE, I WISHED YOU CHECKED YOUR TWITTER ACCOUNT...I'VE BEEN BLOWING YOU UP!

AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN

2013

CREATORS:  BRAD FALCHUK AND RYAN MURPHY

STARRING:  JESSICAN LANGE, EMMA ROBERTS, JAMIE BREWER, EVAN PETERS, TAISSA FARMIGA, SARAH PAULSON, AND KATHY BATES

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START.  THIS FIRST EPISODE'S EXPLOSION OF BLOOD IS MIND BLOWING.  

THE UNIQUE FACT THAT EACH SEASON OF AMERICAN HORROR STORY IS COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO EACH OTHER IS GENUIS, HOWEVER, IT'S WAY MORE DIFFICULT IN THE SENSE THAT EVERY FIRST EPISODE HAS TO BE INTERTWINED WITH BACKSTORIES OF THE NEW CHARACTERS.  SOMEHOW, FALCHUK AND MURPHY ARE INCREDIBLY ARTISTIC AND SEEM TO HAVE NO PROBLEM SUCCEEDING IN THIS WITHOUT BORING THE VIEWERS TO DEATH.  IN MY OPINION, THE KEY TO THIS IS TO SHOW US WHO THE CHARACTERS ARE AS OPPOSED TO TELLING US.  THIS IN ITSELF IS A FASCINATING ACCOMPLISHMENT.  

I ALSO HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ART THAT LIES BURIED INSIDE THE SCREENWRITING.  IN THE BEGINNING,  JESSICA LANGE TOLD THE DOCTOR, "I'LL HAVE WHAT SHE'S HAVING", IN REFERENCE TO THE MEDICINE THAT MADE ALLEGRA YOUNG AGAIN.  THIS IS AN AWESOME OMAGE TO ROB REINER'S WHEN HARRY MET SALLY.  I ALSO FOUND WICKED HUMOR WHEN LANGE TOLD SARAH PAULSON THAT IT WAS IRONIC SHE DIDN'T OWN A BROOM.  SOMETIMES IT TAKES MORE THAN ONE VIEWING TO CATCH THESE LITTLE THINGS, SO I WATCHED IT THREE TIMES.  (I KNOW IT'S ONLY SUNDAY, BUT I SWEAR I HAVE A LIFE!)

THE MUSIC WAS KILLER IN THIS EPISODE.  I FEEL LIKE IT CONSTANTLY PUMPED YOU UP FOR WHAT WAS IN STORE.  IT WORKED AS A GREAT AESTHETIC, ADDING MORE EMOTION TO ALL DIFFERENT SCENES, INCLUDING THE INTRODUCTION OF EACH CHARACTER, ESPECIALLY THE ACTORS FROM PREVIOUS SEASONS!  IT ALSO INTENSIFIED THE TERROR AND WAS ROCKING WHEN LANGE WAS HAVING HER INFAMOUS SOLO PARTY. 

JESSICA LANGE IS, WAS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE FUCKING MASTER CHARACTER. WHETHER SHE IS CONSTANCE, SISTER JUDE, OR FIONA, SHE ALWAYS DELIVERS THE GOOD WITH THE EVIL.  LANGE ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO LIGHT UP A ROOM WITH POSITIVE ENERGY, OR PUT HER CIGARETTE OUT ON A PLATE WHILE HER EVIL AURA DOMINATES.  THIS IS PRICELESS BECAUSE I NEVER CAN INITIALLY SENSE WHAT HER INTENTIONS ARE.  HER UNPREDICTABLE APPEARANCE AND ACTIONS KEEP THE VIEWERS ON THE TIP OF THEIR TOES.  

IN EACH SEASON, AMERICAN HORROR STORY'S CAST KEEPS GROWING. I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT THIS SEASON'S CAST IS TOP FUCKING NOTCH.  OBVIOUSLY IT'S HEARTWARMING TO SEE YOUR FAVORITE ACTORS FROM OTHER SEASONS COME TO LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN, BUT KATHY BATES IS A CRUCIAL ADDITION!  I MEAN, REGARDLESS HOW MANY BROOMS ONE COULD POSSIBLY POSSESS, NOBODY COULD EVER ESCALATE ABOVE JESSICA LANGE, BUT BATES IS SURE TO SHINE IN THE UPCOMING EPISODES.  

AND OF COURSE, I SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST.  MISS MADISON MONTGOMERY, OH HOW YOU STOLE MY CROWN FOR BEST CHARACTER OF THE SEASON, ALONG WITH MY HEART OF COURSE.  EMMA ROBERTS' CHARACTER REALLY STANDS OUT IN MY EYES.  THE COMBINATION OF HER BITCHY DIALOGUE AND IMPRESSIVE POWER MAKE HER PRESENCE KNOWN.  I HAVE MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT SHE NOT ONLY BLOWS THE ROOF OFF IN THIS SEASON, BUT ALSO IN FUTURE SEASONS.  SHE'S AQUARIUS TOO..JUST SAYING...

YOU'RE NEXT

2011
DIRECTOR:  ADAM WINGARD
WRITER:  SIMON BARRETT
STARRING:  SHARNI VINSON, JOE SWANBERG, AJ BOWEN, NICHOLAS TUCCI, AND BARBARA CRAMPTON

I THINK I HAVE MY UPCOMING HALLOWEEN COSTUME NARROWED DOWN...SHOULD I BE THE LAMB, THE TIGER, OR THE FOX?

IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT WINGARD AND BARRETT ARE NOT JUST A DIRECTOR AND A WRITER, BUT THEY ARE SIMPLY ARTISTS.  THIS DUO AESTHETICALLY SPLATTERED THE BLOOD WHILE TELLING A HORRIFIC, YET REALISTIC TALE.  

IT STARTED WITH A CLIMAXING BOOM...LITERALLY.  THE BEST WAY TO REEL IN THE AUDIENCE IS TO DISTRACT THEM WITH SOME BOOBIES RIGHT BEFORE SCARING THE LIFE OUT OF THEM.  MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE IS BEING FORCED TO WAIT MORE THAN FIFTEEN MINUTES TO SEE THE FIRST TRACE OF BLOOD IN A HORROR MOVIE.  THIS OPENING WAS THIRST QUENCHING TO SAY THE LEAST.  

EVERY KILL SCENE WAS UNIQUE AND HAD ME JUMPING OUT OF MY SEAT.  I DUG THE CHOICE OF WEAPONS, ESPECIALLY THE BOW AND ARROW.  IT ALMOST MAKES ME WANT TO BUY ONE PROBABLY BECAUSE I ALREADY OWN A MACHETE AND AN AXE.  I FEEL LIKE THIS WEAPON CREATED FEAR SIMILAR TO THAT OF A GUN BECAUSE IT PREVENTED THE VICTIMS FROM FEELING SAFE ENOUGH TO RUN AWAY.  THIS WEAPON WAS SIGNIFICANT IN THAT SENSE, ALONG WITH THE SHOCK OF THE FIRST FAMILY KILL.  THE PROCEEDING KILL WAS ALSO A SHOCK AND NOTHING SHORT OF JAW DROPPING...JUST SAYING.  

THE MOST ARTISTIC MOMENTS IN THE MOVIE I FOUND RESTED IN THE CAMERA ANGLES.  SOME OF THE DIALOGUE SCENES WERE UNMISTAKABLY SO CLOSE TO THE CHARACTER'S FACES.  I LITERALLY COULD COUNT NOSE HAIRS AND PORES.  I NOTICED THIS IMMEDIATELY, AND KEPT IT IN THE BACK OF MY MIND THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FILM UNTIL I REALIZED WHAT IT MEANT.  IN MY OPINION, IT WAS FORESHADOWING THE VIEWER TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE CHARACTERS BECAUSE ONE OF THEM IS DIRTY.  

ULTIMATELY, I LOVED THIS MOVIE AND I'M GOING TO TELL THE WORLD!

SPEAKING OF WHICH, IT WOULD BE EASIER TO TELL THE WORLD IF I COULD FIND A MASK!  TIRED OF SEARCHING THE WEB AND HALLOWEEN STORES (IT IS A FUCKING PLASTIC ANIMAL MASK I AM SPEAKING OF), I DROVE ALL THE WAY TO MARYLAND FOR THE MONSTER MANIA HORROR CONVENTION IN THE HOPES OF FINDING ONE... AND TO MEET MICHAEL MADSEN OF COURSE.  APPARENTLY THEY WERE GIVEN OUT FOR FREE AT THE CHERRY HILL CONVENTION WHICH I ATTENDED BUT WAS OBVIOUSLY TOO LATE.  L.C. HOLT, THE MAIN KILLER IN THE FLICK, COULDN'T EVEN TELL ME WHERE TO BUY ONE.  I'VE EXTENDED MY SEARCH AND REACHED OUT TO LIONSGATE SO WISH ME LUCK!!!  ALSO, DOWNLOAD THE FREE HORROR MOVIE MAKER APP-YOU'RE NEXT EDITION!

WHAT'S THE SCARIEST MOVIE IN THE WORLD?!

So who is it?  Who's mask makes your blood run cold?  Who's theme music forces tingles down your spine?  Who's bloodcurdling voice keeps you up at night?  

Although there are so many different types of horror, I think everyone's beliefs influence what really scares them.  I personally find that my weakness lies in any situation that can happen in real life.  Everyone's interpretation of realistic horror differs, but I think we all can agree that a "Saw" killer or even a Kevin Spacey character from Se7en can physically kidnap and kill you at any second in any place.  But how does everyone feel about The Forth Kind or any of 484,739 movies about exorcisms?  Just because it doesn't scare me on my television doesn't mean I am certain of its incapability of really happening.  

So I am curious...I want to know what scares YOU!
