The Cabin in the Woods
This could be a short review because all I have to say is fuck this movie, but I'll go on and tell you why this movie pissed me off. I can't even give you a small plot explanation because this movie really has so many things that don;t make sense. All you need to know is everybody dies and the two remaining characters light up a joint right before a giant hand destroys the world. I'm giving this movie a 2/10 because halfway through I thought " Wow this might actually be a good one." but then Joss Whedon thought it would be cool to make this movie suck. I don't really know how this movie has a 90 on Rotten tomatoes and honestly I don't care. I'm just bitter because I wasted 8 dollars seeing this in the theaters and by the end of it I was totally mind fucked. So fuck you Joss Whedon stick to The Avengers.
Insidious
Insidious is a Independent Horror film that centers around a family who's son enters a coma and that's where shit gets fucked. I had heard a lot of mixed reviews on this one and I had to watch it myself to be the judge. Overall this movie did a pretty good job of scaring the shit out of me. My few cons are the monster( like in every horror movie) looked very stupid. The movie starts a bit slow, but the last 25 or so minutes really made up for it. I thought the ending could have been better, but I won't complain too much. I really enjoyed Insidious and thought it was pretty creative and had a lot of shock value. I'm going to give it a 7.5/10 because it really did make me jump at certain points and I found the movie pretty damn enjoyable. ~ Dominic
Dead Space: Downfall
Dead Space: Downfall is an animated horror movie that is the prequel to the popular video game Dead Space. Dead Space: Downfall is a good watch if you a fan of the game, if not I recommend not watching it. I won't lie when I tell you I fell asleep half way through the movie only because I had no idea what was going on. The movie isn't very scary, but then again it is a challenge to make any animated film very scary. If I was bigger into Dead Space I would have really enjoyed this movie and would actually know what was going on...but I'm not so I have to give Dead Space: Downfall a 4/10. I really enjoy the idea of making movies based on video games ( except doom...fuck that movie) but I guess I will need to play dead space more to really enjoy this one. ~ Dominic

Parents
Hey sorry I haven't been posting in awhile, but I'm back reviewing the movie Parents. Parents Is about a boy that suspects that his parents take part in cannibalism. This was a Horror-Comedy film that took a lot of weird twists and turns for me. There were certain parts in this movie that I just found dull and found no horror or comedy what so ever. Certain parts of the movie did give me a chuckle or make me a bit scared, but I wouldn't recommend watching this movie. I'm giving parents a 4.5/10 because I feel like it was really to dull for any real scare.~ Dominic

Megan is Missing
I've seen a lot of awful movies in my life and this is defiantly in the top 10. The movie is about two girls that get abducted by a man that uses an online alter ego. The movie also uses technique of using a webcam and cellphone to shoot the movie. The acting was comparable to a middle school play and not only was the plot awful, but for the last 10 minutes of this already short film you just see legs digging up the grave where the two girls eventually get buried. The dialogue was incredibly awful and the use of the words fuck, slut, and whore were used so many times it made you want to end your life. I am giving Megan is Missing a 1/10 because it had no redeeming qualities to it and I recommend everyone to not watch this movie.
A Serbian Film
I watched this film at 2 A.M. on New Years Day and I have to say it is probably the most disturbing film I have ever had to watch. It tells the story of a down-on-his-luck porn star who agrees to participate in an "art film", only to discover that he has been drafted into a snuff film with child rape and necrophilic themes. This really is a movie that you will want to shut off, but there is a small part of you that will keep watching for some unknown reason. I would never even think of recommending even my worst enemy to watch this movie. In all reality the film isn't scary as it is disgusting. I do have to applaud the director Srđan Spasojević because he accomplished what he wanted to do. I thought the idea of the plot was creative and he did a good job of executing the film. I did enjoy the twists and turns that the plot took, but that still doesn't cover up that this movie was probably the most messed up thing I have ever had to watch. I am going to give A Serbian Film a 7/10. I know what you are thinking, Why would I give this movie a 7/10 when I bashed it throughout this blog? Well the truth is A Serbian Film does everything it set out to do and it honesty it did it well. A director wants to make a film people won't forget and I don't think I will ever forget this movie~ Dominic

The Saw Series
Last summer I spent a week watching all seven Saw movies with my girlfriend. If you unfamiliar with the series it is a psychological thriller where chosen people are given the chance to fight for their life. The whole thing is set up by a man name Jigsaw. Now the plot twist and turns through 7 movies and there is no way I could ever explain to you or even give a good summary of it. Most popular horror movies fail to impress me, but something with this series was different. I found myself addicted to the story and though the movie wasn't all that horrifying it made me keep guessing on what would happen next. I can't say the movies are the best things you'll ever watch, but I would defiantly recommend giving them a chance. I'm giving The Saw series an 8/10. Now I know this may seem a bit high to some people who may have seen the movies, but I was really intrigued with the story line and thought the movies were put together very well. Let me know what you think about Saw~ Dominic
Hey
I don't really know why I am doing this, but I just want to give you guys( the few that will read this) an idea of what I am going to do. I once went into a family video and asked the employee what a good scary movie would be and his reply puzzled me. " Scary movies are too subjective for me to give you an answer." I ended up renting some really shitty movie and I'm pretty pissed about it to this day. So this blog will be me reviewing scary movies and I will try not to be harsh, but I am going to be honest so you don't have to waste your time watching. I hope you enjoy the blog and thanks for reading~ Dominic
