"Alien Abduction" ~ 2014

"Alien Abduction"  ~  2014

Netflix Description  =  A real life phenomenon inspired this horror tale about a family camping trip that becomes a nightmare when a wrong turn leads to an alien encounter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In general I am not a big fan of alien movies, but with that said, this movie was more entertaining than most and I enjoyed it.  As it is a "found footage" movie, there is a lot of shadow play and the good old fashioned jump scares.  I also did a little reasearch and found the true basis for the movie which was equally entertaining.  Good movie and definitely worth the watch

My score  4/5

"Jugface" ~ 2013

"Jugface"  ~  2013

Netflix Description  =  A pregnant teen tries to flee her backwoods community when she learns shes to be sacrificed to a monstrous beast that lives in a pit near her town.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While I was expecting some cheesy backwoods monster movie, I was pleasantly surprised.  This film had a good, strong storyline that was both engaging and entertaining.  Some decent gore for the horror effect, but well done.  Overall, good movie and worth the watch!

My score  3.5 / 5

"Haunt" ~ 2013

"Haunt"  ~  2013

Netflix description  =  When a teen moves into a new house with his family and takes up with the girl next door, their adolescent passions unlock an alternate dimension.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The above description in no way describes this movie.  What I watched was a good old fashioned haunted house tale.  That said, no gore but lots of jumps and shadowplay.  Good movie but don't expect teen passion. lol


My score   3/5
