"Slaughter" ~ 2009
Netflix description = On the run from an abusive ex boyfriend, Faith befriends Lola, who offers her a place to stay. But the men Lola brings home from the bar always wind up missing and Faith believes Lola's bizarre family members may be harboring terrifying secrets. *Inspired by true events.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anytime a movie is based on an actual story it raises the creepiness factor several times over. In my opinion it is because while watching, just holding the fact that it has happened before means it realistically can happen again. I liked this movie. It was full of surprises. Every time I thought I knew something, it would twist on me again. Definitely worth the watch.

"Penny Dreadful"
"Penny Dreadful" ~ 2006
Netflix description = After surviving an automobile accident that killed both of her parents, Penny Dearborn has an understandable fear of cars. But her therapist suggestion that they confront it together head on turns out to have deadly consequences.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was honestly a better watch than I was expecting. There are enough little mind tweaks, that just when you begin to wonder and think you know the plot, it twists again... all the way to the end. All in all a really good movie and worth the watch!!

This was a real slow starter that did grow into a really good movie. I must be honest, it did take me more than one try to watch it, but now Im glad I did!! Plenty of twists and jumps, and just a fun movie!

Netflix description = When a sadistic lawyer brings home a feral woman he found in the woods, he locks her in a shed and orders his family to "civilize" her. But the more the woman resists their attempts, the closer they all get to a blood bath like no other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was a very surprising sadistic tale about a lawyer with a god complex. At what point is someone given the right to choose what is the meaning of "civilized". There were a couple of twists that gained my attention and this movie is definitely worth watching to the end!

Netflix description = After retreating to the woods near her hometown for inspiration, a musician reunites with some longtime friends and a former beau, only to learn that they have company: a psychopathic killer with an ax.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I guess this was an ok slasher film, some good gore, but no storyline. Really the above description is more backstory than the film projected. I like backstory. I feel it is necessary not only to give understanding of wtf is going on, but also for the character development. Without that understanding, this movie is just background noise.

Netflix description = No one would suspect that the Hamilton's are a dangerous family, after all, with their white picket fence and squeaky clean public image, they're practically impeccable. But behind closed doors, their extra curricular activities tend toward the sadistic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was a little unsure going into this weather or not it would be enjoyable. The above description just didn't grab me. But part of this little quest of mine is to watch them all and maybe find a gem. Thats what this film is, a hidden gem! I thought I knew so much, and had the story line all figured out and WHAM they twisted hard on me. lol Not to often a surprise twist is just that, a surprise. Kudos for that! At times it did seem as if the movie was slow, but made up for it with the information that is given. Great movie my friends, go watch!!

Netflix description = Filmmaker friends Mark and Andy investigate the legend of Typhoid Mary, a girl who was locked up in an insane asylum that was believed to be haunted. But bad things start to happen after Andy's fiancee conducts a seance to summon Mary's spirit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was a lot like most hand held haunted asylum movies. Lots of shadow scenes, shaky camera to increase drama etc. However adding the twist of urban legend "Typhoid Mary" made it even more of an enjoyable watch. Not a lot of gore, but spooky and I even jumped a couple of times. Worth watching!!

"The People Under the Stairs" ~ 1991
Netflix description = Master of horror Wes Craven brings an urban twist to the classic fairy tale. In the story of Fool, a 13 year old lad who succumbs to ghetto pressures to steal from a local house. Fool's instant karma comes in the gruesome form off the houses residents - - an insane, deformed family of murderers. The perils of latch-key kids and warnings about absentee parents are the subtle social subtext as Fool and other victims try to escape the deadly home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had been at least 20 years since I had seen this movie so it felt totally new to me and I enjoyed it immensely. It is very tame by todays standards but still a really good, fairly twisted tale. Not gorey, not scary, but a good creepy movie! I didn't get any of the "social subtext", but still definitely worth the watch. There is a good reason that this movie is considered a classic!

***** My daughter is missing, my real life horror story (not a review) *****
Ok, so here is the whats going on in my world. Last week a detective came to my home looking for Dana. She has not been seen since Sept 4th around 2am leaving a park in Browns Addition. I spoke with him again today and he said to give him a week, before we file an official missing persons case, so she is not an official "missing person", however there are a lot of other factors within her lifestyle that has me terrified for her. Here is her picture, also known as Danielle she has been known to be in Portland, Vancouver, Olympia and Seattle, and Pend O'riele County. If seen please contact me immediately Anjithoren@hotmail.com. Please share...
