This was a fairly predictable teen scream type movie, but still a great fun to watch! The storyline had a couple good plot twists and some gore. I found one of the kill scenes particularly sadistic. Overall, definitely worth the watch

Netflix description = Never accidently kill a clown at a party. Stitches the clown is on the loose and is hunting down the partygoers who caused his untimely death. Are the revelers to blame or is Stitches criminally insane and is using the accident as an excuse for revenge.

Movie Review ~ "Malevolence" 2004
"Malevolence" ~ 2004
Netflix description = After a botched bank heist, a gang of criminals takes a young mother and daughter hostage holding up in what they think is a deserted farmhouse. But the police are the least of their worries as a madman in residence begins exterminating his guests.

Unbeknownst to me this movie is actually a prequel to the movie "Bereavement" (2010). This also involve Martin Bristol, and filled in blanks that I had from watching "Bereavement" first. That said, on its own, its a good storyline with a few surprising twists to keep us entertained. Worth the watch!

"The Fog"
"The Fog" ~ 2005
Netflix description = This creepy thriller is about an island town off the coast of Oregon that's forced to contend with some unwelcome visitors from its past: the spirits of lepers and sailors aboard a ship that the hamlets fore-fathers had steered astray on purpose. Those aboard the doomed vessel all wound up lost in the fog forever. Now they're back from the mist, eager to exact revenge on the descendants of their murderers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I remember watching the original when I was (much) younger and it sure seemed a lot scarier. That said this was a still a good movie. They did a well done modern remake. Lots of creep factor and I must admit to jumping at least twice. :) Worth the watch

Netflix description = After plucking a young girl from her wealthy parents for ransom, a band of kidnappers find the tables are turned as their hideout winds up being a house of horrors. The abandoned school is haunted by a chilling curse that resurfaces each Spring.
