"The taking of Deborah Logan"  ~  2014


Netflix description  =  For her PHD thesis, Mia decides to film a womans Alzheimers battle, but when symptoms turn strange, the family suspects something more sinister.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another found footage movie.  I did find this to be a bit different than the rest with a big twist.  Overall it hld my attention but barely.  Id say its an ok watch- - on a slow day.  Basically just average.

My score  3/5

"The Damned (Gallows Hill)" ~ 2013

"The Damned (Gallows Hill)"  ~  2013

Netflix description  =  Stranded during a flash flood, a family finds shelter at a guest house.  But when they disobey the owners orders they get a terrifying surprise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although predictable I found this to be a good movie and a fun watch.  It does have a slow start, but its just a build up as the story gets going.  There are also a few fun twists to keep things interesting and and just a general creepiness.  Worth the watch!


My score  3/5

"animal" ~ 2014

"animal"  ~  2014

Netflix description  =  When plans for a weekend getaway hit a dead end, friends find themselves in unfamiliar territory, pursued by a menacing and bloodthirsty predator.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I saw that this was a made for tv creature feature, so I wasn't expecting scary but entertaining.  With that mindset I was not at all disappointed.  Its a good story.  Some gore and good jump scares as well.  Overall, a fun mindless movie and worth the watch!

3/5

"VHS: Viral" ~ 2014

"VHS: Viral"  ~  2014

Netflix description  =  During a police chase, amateurs rust to shoot videos they hope will go viral, unwittingly casting themselves as victims in a cyber horror story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love short anthology films, and I am a fan of the "VHS" films, but I felt this one fell short of the former two films.  Like any anthology some shorts I loved, others not so much as some storylines are stronger.  Some of the weaker stories are just confusing.  Overall an average movie with potential to be so much better.  Still worth watching.


3/5

"Come Back to Me" ~ 2014

"Come Back to Me"  ~  2014

Netflix description  =  After a car accident, a woman suffering blackouts, anxiety attacks and lucid night terrors sets up a hidden camera revealing a horrifying reality.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This turned out to be quite a surprisingly good movie.  It has a slow start but throws in some twists that change the entire story.  I thought I had it all figured out and bam another twist all the way to the end.  Some gore, some jumps and a great storyline.  Definitely worth the watch!


4/5

"P2" ~ 2007

"P2"  ~  2007

Netflix description  =  A workaholic business woman who's last to leave the office on Christmas eve finds herself terrorized in the parking garage by a twisted security guard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This wasn't quite what I would've lumped into the horror genre, but it was a good thriller type movie.  Some good jump scares and an interesting storyline, and backstory.  Overall good, mellow movie, but worth the watch.

My score  3/5
