"Dead Before Dawn" ~ 2013

"Dead Before Dawn"  ~  2013

Netflix description  =  A group of college kids unwittingly creates an evil curse that causes everyone whom they make eye contact with to turn into zombie demons (zemons),
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I really, really enjoyed this movie!  Its fun, campy and the zemons are fantastic!  I felt the storyline was imaginative and the "curse" itself is creative and fun.  Overall just a great movie and definitely worth the watch!!!


My score  4/5

"The Mooring" ~ 2012

"The Mooring"  ~  2012

Netflix description  =  A group of gadget addicted teen girls gather in the Idaho wilderness for a program to help them lose dependency on technology.  Camping on a riverbank in the middle of nowhere they're harassed by a strange couple who soon go on a murderous rampage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was a good movie with lots of action and beautiful scenery.  The kill scenes are random, but the unanswered questions make the storyline even more intriguing.  Overall good movie, just not quite the horror genre.


My score   3/5

"Children of the Corn 7: Revelation" ~ 2001

"Children of the Corn 7: Revelation"  ~  2001

Netflix description  =  Jaimie Lowell travels to small town Nebraska to visit her grandmother - only to discover that Grandma has mysteriously vanished from her run down apartment building... which just happens to be located in the midst of a cornfield.  Jaimie keeps running into strange looking children around town and in the apartment building.  Soon, her grandmothers neighbors begin to disappear too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I found this to be just an ok, average film.  It starts really slow but builds to a really good last half hour, saving the movie.  Creepy kids and lots of shadow play.  Again average movie, ok watch


My score 3/5

"Day of the Dead" ~ 1985

"Day of the Dead"  ~  1985

Netflix description  =  The third chapter in writer/director George Romero's zombie saga finds scientists and soldiers hiding in a bunker to escape a world overrun by the undead.  Two groups butt heads but infighting takes a backseat when zombies invade the facility.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love this movie!  This was one of the first horror movies that I saw and I immediately became a Romero fan.  This movie has lots of action, lots of gore and some fantastic kill scenes.  If you, for what ever reason, have not seen this... go.... go now... go watch!!

My score  4/5

"Buried Alive" ~ 2007

"Buried Alive"  ~  2007

Netflix description  =  College shenanigans take a terrifying turn when a group of students stay in an abandoned ranch house.  The plan is part of a sorority prank, but all hell breaks loose when one students secret search for a lost treasure awakens a ghostly evil.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While I did enjoy this movie, I couldn't help but feel they were almost trying to hard with so many storyline cliches all packed together.  That said, it was still an entertaining movie, with a small twist at the end.  Average movie but still a good watch.


My score    3/5
