The Uninvited

Watched "The Uninvited" last night. What a lame name for a movie. Anyway, my cat got up and walked out in the middle of it and I should of as well. There is nothing "scary" about this film. It is more of a thriller along the lines of "The Sixth Sense." And if I gave too much away by saying that consider yourself lucky. The film wasn't all bad. Elizabeth Banks is in it, and she plays a TOTAL bitch. But her character, like this film, goes nowhere. Also, the house that all of the action takes place in is really cool, and I spent most of the film fantasizing about living in a place like that someday. I was so off in dreamland that I didn't guess the all to obvious twist ending, so I thought for a second "oh, that was cool," and then I woke up. My main problem with this film is that the Final Girl looks 40 even though she is only 16.

"The Uninvited" is a remake of "A Tale of Two Sisters," which I have yet to see ( I have got to stop seeing the shitty remakes before seeing the original. Bad Jen Jen.) Look at these two posters: Which looks like a better film to you?

Everything old is new again..

Tell me this doesn't look like a trailer for a zombie film? Especially the second commercial.

Sometimes I wish I lived in Texas..

Why can't there be a killer bookstore in Palo Alto like this one? Wait, there is nothing killer in Palo Alto, I forgot. Check out the site for this "All Horror" store in Texas: http://www.eeriebooks.com/blog/horror-movies/top-50-horror-trailers-50-great-horror-movie-trailers/
They were kind enough to collect all the best Horror Movie Trailers in one spot for my viewing enjoyment! Yeah!

(The store my Husband works at is pretty killer, but I am pretty sure is the only one in Paly.)

House of the Devil

The devil is big right now man! He is like last years vampire or 2007's zombie. EVERYWHERE!!! This film is from some wunderkind that I am not familiar with. It has Tom Noonan and Dee Wallace. What more do you need to know! (The Wunderkind's name is Ti West and I guess I should rent "Roost." I think that was his breakout film.)

When the gates of Hell are opened..

You get freaky shit like this! This is hitting the festival circut right now, so I don't know when it is getting released. "Seventh Moon" looks better than some of the other previews I have seen, especially "H2," which I hate more everytime I see it. I am such a cranky old fart.

Moon

This looks pretty nice. I have no idea when it is being released. It is hitting all of the festivals right now. Sam Rockwell is one of my favorite actors. The voice is Kevin Spacey, not John Malkovich.

Its coming..

In some fit of insanity I put "Martyrs" on my Netflix Que and now it is coming. Won't be here till Tuesday, and I can't watch it with my husband in the house, so I will have to watch it Friday night. This film is going to sit around and infect my apartment with its nastiness. Maybe I will call in sick one day so I can watch it. I should not pre-judge. It is (apparently) so good it warranted cover stories in both Rue Morgue and Fangoria. Of course both magazines suggest that this film is not "OK." Meaning, maybe a film like this shouldn't exist? Whatever. I survived "Eraserhead" and I will survive this.

Or maybe not. Check out this review: http://criticalmassreviews.blogspot.com/2008/10/martyrs-2008-pascal-laugier_27.html
What does he mean that once you have watched it, you can't un-watch it?
