Horror Movie Reviews - Dead Silence And More
Dead Silence
Get ready for some creepy puppets. A young man returns to his hometown to find 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 movie didn’t appeal to me. But I have to admit the ending was cool.
Grade: 2 out of 5
The Host
A monster movie that was a huge hit in Korea. Toxic chemicals poured out into the drain create a mutant monster in the city river. The monster rises and spreads panic in the city. The action/horror scenes work well, but the movie also has a weird comedy tone that I really disliked. Some good CGI though, and a really cool monster.
Grade: 3 out of 5
Reeker
A bunch of friends on a road trip end up in a deserted country town. One after the other they’re attacked by an evil creature. The twist-end works, but we’ve seen it before. This is a decent low-budget effort.
Grade: 3 out of 5
The Baby’s Room
Spanish movie (original title: The Habitacion Del Nino) about a couple with a baby moving into a new house. Soon they discover a ghostly entity in the nursery. This movie relies on pure mood and psychological tension, but it’s not frightening enough. But one scene with the babymonitor really had me on the edge of my seat.
Grade: 2 out of 5.
Pulse
This is the American remake of the Asian horror movie “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.
Grade: 3 out of 5
The Toolbox Murders
Tobe Hooper’s remake/reimaging of the original movie from 1978. A young couple move into in a run-down apartment building where the tenants are killed off with tools from a toolbox. Get ready for creepy atmosphere and some gore. This is a movie many people hate, and quite frankly I don’t understand why. This is a solid, quite scary slasher. That’s what I think and I’m sticking to it.
Grade: 4 out of 5
Stay Alive
Some teens playing a computer game unleashes evil powers and find out that if you die in the game - you die for real. I think the script was better than how the movie actually turned out. Almost no scares at all.
Grade: 1 out of 5
Into The Mirror
Asian horror where a security guard tries to solve murders linked to mirrors at a shopping mall. I love some of the creepy mirror scenes, but the movie is slow and there’s not much going on. The final scene lingers in my memory. Chilling.
