Reviews

Decided to watch this movie after reading the creepypasta. From the beginning you can tell they didn't quite go with the best way of storytelling.

It is a 90s style film, like the original IT, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It was interesting seeing a 2013 movie made in that style. Most of the props looked super fake and there were a lot of continuity problems. The hole would change sizes between shots and the rock around it looked like plastic. It sounded like metal hitting metal when they tried hitting it with a sledgehammer, and apparently that wouldn't break it at all but a small cordless drill did. Okay then. Again, this isn't necessarily bad and could group it into B horror movies.

The story took a lot of liberties to change things and it became cheesy. Ted and Brad became brothers, they threw in Uncle Charlie, and made Joe into a flamboyant gay British... gas station attendant. It was obvious they did that so Joe could be the comic relief but it was just cringeworthy. Uncle Charlie was the innocent, either mentally disabled or onset dementia, loving family member and I said if he died, I would take off on star on my final review for it. He did die and in a pointless way, just to try and force some tears out of the audience.

They showed the cave monsters which was a mistake in my opinion. They show up in Ted's house and look like random men in bodysuits, and when they show up in the cave, they look like the swamp monster. Just people with mud all over themselves. They mostly danced around in the dark rather than attack our heroes.

If you're looking for a bad movie to watch, this is worth a one time view. I won't be watching it again or showing it to anyone else. If you want a good movie to be a companion to the creepypasta... I say wait until someone else does a better job.

I originally passed over this anime, thinking it was a normal slice of life anime about school girls. Sentai Filmworks had a sale for horror anime and this one was listed. That got my attention. I was able to buy the collectors edition for a cheap price, and I'm glad I did.

The main premise is about a group of girls who love their school so much that they live there. At the end of the first episode you find out why they live there: their city has been taken over by a zombie apocalypse and the school is the only safe zone. The main character is so traumatized that she forces herself to imagine that everything is normal. The story shows how they survive, and how they got to this point. There are a lot of parts that are emotional and depressing. Since it's only 12 episodes, there's no filler except for one episode. However, that episode is a break from the next ones where everything goes downhill fast.

I didn't really like the English voice actress for Yuki, I'll probably rewatch in Japanese. That's the only qualm I have about the show.

The last episode was a bit open ended, so hopefully we will get a season 2! I would recommend this to Madoka and Angel Beats fans.

I originally had no interest in watching this, because I had no idea what it was about. I watched Yogahosers which was meh. Then I saw this movie on a top 10 list on YouTube, and they showed the Wallace walrus. That made me want to watch it.

I did like Human Centipede (the first one) because it was more of a drama and reminded me of Saw. Tusk is very similar to the former, but has a bit more backstory to it, and it is a lot more gruesome than HC. The walrus suit is so very disturbing.

It's nothing amazing, but it was a fun watch. Very dark comedy with disturbing body horror. It's not for everyone, that's for sure. I wish the story after he was turned into the walrus was fleshed out a bit more, it seemed like it just hurried to have his friend and girlfriend find him, then that was it.

Don't go in expecting this to be a serious movie or a masterpiece, just enjoy it for what it is, especially if you have a dark sense of humor or like messed up movies.

Based on the synopsis on Amazon Prime, I chose this movie because it said something about a deaf girl finding out a family's dark secret. It was tagged as a drama/crime/thriller/mystery and I figured it was a murder movie or something like that. This is a purely drama movie focusing between two girls, one who is deaf & mute, and the other who has an incestuous relationship with her father. The two girls slowly grow a friendship together and both have different ideas of what "growing up" means. One wants passion, the other wants freedom. The incest scenes are very cringe-worthy, they'll well done, maybe too well done. You can feel how uncomfortable the daughter is at certain moments. This might be enough to turn some people away. The reason I kept watching, however, was because of the bond between the girls. I liked the character development and wanted to see what would happen with them at the end. The ending might be a bit confusing at first, but when you sit and put all the pieces together, you can understand why it turned out that way. It's not an amazing film, but it caught my attention and the plot lines gave me and my boyfriend something to talk about and figure out why certain characters did certain things.

I've been a Stephen King fan for years, since I was a teenager, and one of his books that creeped me out the most was Pet Sematary. Everything about it was disturbing and unnerving, and while the 1989 film was good, it felt a bit lacking. My favorite and creepiest part from the book (for me) was when Louis is walking alone, barefoot, in the middle of the woods at night and he hears the wendigo nearby... The 1989 film never made any mention of the wendigo, which was a bit of a letdown.

Everything that the original lacked, this remake more than made up for. There was great atmosphere, great acting, great camerawork, everything was great. There were a few changes to the story but for the most part it was faithful to the novel. They even included the wendigo, which I was very happy about.

It is a lot more intense than the original and has more scares and blood/gore. Some of the bloody violent scenes were hard for me to watch, but that's a good thing. It means they did it right.

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD:

The original story saw the Creed's two year old son, Gage, getting killed and his older sister, Ellie, surviving. For this movie, it was switched up and had Gage surviving (but almost getting hit by the truck), and Ellie was instead the one who died. I would have been interested to see another version where Gage had been the one to pass, but the original 1989 film already exists. I liked the direction the movie was going and it was very disturbing to see a sweet girl turn into a monster like that. I had no problem with that aspect.

The part I did not like at all was the ending. In the book, Ellie was staying with her grandparents when her father brought Gage back to life, and the murdering happened. I was hoping that Gage in this movie would get the same outcome, but I did not like what they went with.

Rachel takes Gage back to the house, Ellie kills Rachel, Louis puts Gage in the locked car, then is killed by a resurrected Rachel, and then the three undead family members go up to Gage in the car, with weapons, and the movie ends. It is heavily implied that they are going to kill and bury the two year old boy to be part of the living dead family. I might be biased because I have an almost two year old son, but I would have much preferred if he had been rescued by firemen or his grandparents from the car, and had him be the only survivor.

I hope there will be an alternate ending, but who knows.

This is a good movie, just prepare to be a bit letdown by the ending if you loved the original story or don't like child death.
