Quarantine (2008)
I'm just really into zombie flicks!
Some will disagree about this being a zombie flick, but the people who are bitten get sick and can only be killed by severing the spine. I guess the only reason I couldn't rate higher is because of the leading lady's stupidity and constant screaming. She would not have made it 10 minutes in most zombie flicks, someone should have killed her off early as her screaming only draws attention. Her high pitched shrieking really turned me off, I had to turn the volume down as to not wake my family but then couldn't hear the conversations. On a good note, I did jump a few times and the plot was great (although I cannot really attribute this to this particular movie, as it is a remake of Rec). The best part was the very end, I really appreciated it! 7/10 because zombie films rock and found-footage rocks!
Emergo (2011)
Sufficiently scary!
This movie, though very predictable, definitely had its moments of terror. The build-up before the moments that made you jump were great, and although I was fully anticipating what was to come I still jumped several times. The plot was decent and I appreciated how the characters were written. The acting was surprisingly good for a low-budget film, I was definitely impressed by that. The apex of the film was very intense and dramatic, if slightly cheesy. The only thing that really bothered me was the very, very cliché ending. I felt as though I've seen that very ending 10 other times in various other movies, it has been so over-done that it will ruin an entire movie for me. But other than the very end, I was pleasantly surprised by this movie and would definitely recommend it!
Grave Encounters (2011)
First half was pretty good!!
I love "found-footage" movies, the effect makes it seem more real and it scares the daylights out of me. There were a couple of things in the beginning that made me jump, was very spooky when he hair gets lifted... Then, almost exactly half way through the movie when the exit is no longer and exit and they have no way out, it instantly made it cheesy. I almost shut it off right there. Finished it out of sheer stubborn will and it really just got worse from there. Once the cheesy factor kicked in, I didn't jump once and the ending was just dull. If anyone has any suggestions for movies that are scary without turning overly cheesy, I'm game!
