The Initiation of Sarah (2006)
Should be put in movie theaters
I gotta say, for an made for TV movie, the Initaition of Sarah is pretty good. With all the other "horror" and "scary" movie crap out there this should have be put in movie theaters. The special effects may not be all that great, but it's still got a nice plot and twist to it, and doesn't ruin a single bit of it. I especially appluade the actors' performances and I've become a bit of Mika Boorem (is that spelled right?) fan after seeing this. And true the movie may not be all that scary, but it adds a great feel to the whole Halloween theme. I've never seen the original film at all, but after seeing this I've been dying to!!!! The Initiation of Sarah is one of the greatest made-for-TV movies ever and should've been put on the big screen. ABC Family really delivered this time.
Return to Halloweentown (2006)
Where is Marnie?!?!?!?!
Oh ... my ... god...What in hell's name has happened to Halloweentown!? Seriously, Halloweentown was just like this little downtown village like area, and Grandma Aggie's house. And now ... now it's transformed into this massive downtown Chicago area, and from out of nowhere here's this Witch University. And Marnie?!?!?! What the hell happened to our beloved Marnie, replaced by Sara Paxton, and not our beloved Kimberly J. Brown, because of scheduling complications ... BULL CRAP!!!! She was probably just sick of Disney and there horribly famous sequels. The first two films were great. The third was kinda pushing it, but this has no excuse. First off, the special effects were lame. The plot was lame, the fact that Grandma Aggie is a minor character is lame, the now Marnie was lame, and the fact that she didn't destroy the thing in the end so Disney can have another sequel is lame. I'm a big fan of Halloweentown and all, and have loved the movie since I was a kid, but seriously ... Disney doesn't understand the concept of you CAN have TOO MUCH of a good thing.
When a Stranger Calls (2006)
Just hang up already ...
This movie isn't scary, chilling, or spine-tingling. If anything it is a hilarious, and not in a good way. It's nice to finally see a scary movie that doesn't involve a bloodbath, but it doesn't help that the teenager is so freaking stupid, and that the house she happens to be baby-sitting at is some glorious lake house in the middle of nowhere, or that she's dealing with a cheating boyfriend, a backstabbing friend, and being punished for a high cell phone bill. I liked the beginning with that carnival and phone calls because it's a chilling preview of what's going to happen to Jill, but after that it all goes downhill. First off, why would a family with a maid need a babysitter? Why does Jill turn off the alarm and automatically assume that the maid accidentally set it off? Why didn't she have the police check things out? And why after the umpteenth time the stranger calls she finally closes the blinds and/or shades? And why didn't she just hang up? Frankly, I think Jill should have died for her stupidity, and deserved to go insane at the end.
