"Hansel Vs Gretel" ~ 2015

"Hansel Vs Gretel"  ~  2015

Netflix description  =  When his twin sister, Gretel, is seduced by a coven of witches, Hansel and his crew fight to liberate her from their enchanting clutches.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I started watching this unknown that it was a sequel to "Hansel and Gretel"  ~ 2013.  Which is one of my favorite tellings of the story.  This did not disappoint.  It was the same perfect blend of good storytelling, dark humor and gore.  The modern re-telling is a fun ride and this movie definitely worth the watch.  Seeing the first one is helpful, but not necessary.


My score  3.5/5

"Crazy Eights" ~ 2006

"Crazy Eights"  ~  2006

Netflix description  =  When six childhood friends gather for an old pals funeral, they find a map that leads them to a childs corpse and a dark secret from their past.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had a hard time getting through this one.  It just didn't hold my attention.  There was some gore and decent kill scenes, but the story itself was boring.  Overall all an (iffy) ok watch, but its better as background noise.


My score  2.5/5

"The ABCs of Death 2 ~ 2014

"The ABCs of Death 2  ~  2014

Netflix description  =  This comic horror anthology includes tales of a hitmans botched plan, a boy whose grandfather sleeps under his bed and a jury comprised of zombies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I loved the first movie so I was again excited about a sequel.  This anthology of 26 short films covered all angles of fear.  Most I liked, a few I did not.  Also there was much more dark humor and weirdness than horror.  There is however still lots of gore and surprises.  Worth the watch!

My score  3.5/5

"Honeymoon" ~ 2014

"Honeymoon"  ~  2014

Netflix description  =  Newlywed bliss turns to paranoia after bride Bea sleepwalks outside a remote honeymoon cabin and scares groom Paul with her increasingly odd behavior.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although this was a fairly predictable movie, I still found it to be an enjoyable watch.  No gore or big jumps but a lot of creepiness and a dark story.  Worth the watch if in the mood for something "mellow".

My score  3/5

"Wicked Little Things" ~ 2006

"Wicked Little Things"  ~  2006

Netflix description  =  When a widow and her two daughters move to an isolated house in the mountains, they learn their new neighborhood is haunted by the ghosts of children.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While watching, I felt as though I had seen this before under a different name.  Whatever the case its still a good tale with creepy kids and lots of blood and gore.  Some slow moving elements, but worth the watch!

My score  3/5

"Dead Snow: Red vs Dead" ~ 2014

"Dead Snow: Red vs Dead"  ~  2014

Netflix description  =  After medical student Martin escapes from Nazi zombies, he gathers an army to face off against the bloodthirsty undead battalion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I loved the first "Dead Snow" so I was excited to see the sequel.  I was not disappointed!  A fun storyline, lots of gore and some creative death scenes, also the Nazi zombies are just as brutal as the first movie.  One of the best sequels that I've seen.  Definitely worth the watch.... but watch the first "Dead Snow" first.

My score  4.5/5

"Dark Ride" ~ 2006

"Dark Ride"  ~  2006

Netflix description  =  Years after a series of grisly murders shut down a roadside theme park, six college students make an impromptu visit and tempt fate by taking the dormant Dark Ride for a spin.  But the killer still looms in the bowels of the park.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I liked this movie.  Any movie that gives a kill scene before opening credits usually holds my attention.  This movie was a fun teen scream, slasher flick with lots of dark humor.  There were some surprises and some gore, but mostly it was just a fun campy movie.  Worth the watch!


My score  3/5
