Halloween

Ok, Halloween is the movie that every slasher and suspense movie has been trying to live up to since if came out in 1978. Halloween is one of those things that happens when the stars align just right, all the pieces fall perfectly into place and create a amazing movie in film history.
Halloween upon it's initial release was panned, nothing but thumbs down across the board, until one reviewer a smart one(not many of those) saw this movie for what it was, a film that invoked true fear, Halloween was a movie that was set in mid-west suburbia, a place that most of everyone could to identify with, with your average everyday people and problems and throws in an escaped mental patient to the mix and see what events unfold.

Halloween was the movie that got into horror movies, I remember one day that my dad rented it and we watched it together at he time i was 10 I believe, and I remember being completely terrified, and after that every time I seen even just the box to Halloween and seen Michael Meyers face I would be scared the rest of the day, but for some reason it still drew me in.

Now onto the interview, Halloween was release in October of 1978 and since had grossed more than 55 million dollars, Halloween invoked fear through suggestion, it wasn't about blood and guts which is what all of the imitators lost sight of. Carpenter made the viewer use all of their senses to scare, the music brings an eerie tone to the film as does Carpenters camera use in the film, by using POV shots through a lot of the film, he really brings the viewer into the film itself, wherever the characters are in the film he uses the camera as if it were a third person..

Now many who have watched the film since it release and most definitely younger viewers, see it as cliched, but in 1978 nothing in this film was a cliche, it was the pioneer for what would be the slasher genre.

I highly suggest watching this film if you have never seen it and just discard the sequels for this series, they really burned out everything and yes Halloween is mostly predictable, but it still gives you chills up your spine every time you view it and it has subtle psychological terror to it.

P.S. only sequels worth any viewing would be 2, 3, and 4. Halloween 2 continues the night HE came home and Halloween 3: season of the witch has nothing to do with Michael or the Halloween storyline from 1 and 2, it's a standalone film and it was quite good. Halloween 4 is probably the closest any sequel could get to the original, but still falls short.

The Fog

 The Fog brings with it the souls of the damned.


Fog is nothing to the quaint seaside village of Antonio Bay. But on the night of it's 100Th anniversary, a fog bank rolls in in like any other. Eerie light, dark figures, and the masts of an ancient schooner appear in the swirling mists, and soon the specters of long-murdered sailors, descend upon the tow. Using knife, hook and sword, they exact revenge for sins committed by the town's founding father's, leaving horrified survivors struggling to solve a hundred-year crime. And they must solve it - or die.

The synopsis for this film makes me want to see it, but it does not do the film justice, The Fog is a classic horror film, that came out in a time when this type of story wasn't all that popular, with the horror scene soon becoming filled with gore filled teen slashers, this was a movie that went against the grain, it was a simple ghost story, now the film did have it's fair share of gruesome deaths, but those were not the focal point of The Fog, the focal point of The Fog was the atmosphere that it portrayed, the uneasiness and creepiness that only a ghost story can invoke.

The film also gives you that feeling of a cold, overcast windy autumn day, and it fits so well with this film and also fills the idea of what most people have of a fishing and maritime town, salty, cold, and at time very haunting and ghostly. Now down through the years not many horror movies have freaked me out, but this movie can send chills down your spine, it is a movie the will entrap and enthrall you.

The Fog starts off on a really good note, with an old weathered sea captain telling a local children the eerie story of the Elizabeth Dane, which was a ship that crashed on the shores of Antonio Bay 100 years prior. On that same night a spooky, glowing fog rolls into Antonio Bay bringing with it a long dead crew bent on revenge for the wrong that was done to them 100 years ago, the crew had been a from a leper colony and the founding fathers had murdered them and stole their gold.

The Fog is filled with a great cast, John Carpenter brought back scream queen Jame Lee Curtis, who does a great job in this roll, most definitely pulling out all the stops for her talents. Curtis' mother Janet Leigh is also in the film as a town official who is putting together everything for the anniversary of Antonio Bay, Nancy Loomis also appears in the film as Janet Leigh's character's assistant, who is quite funny and sarcastic, and let us not forget Adrienne Barbeau as the DJ for he towns only radio station, who puts up a dang good fight in the end of the film.

Like I said before this film was not gory or very violent had its few moments but all in all most of the violence was suggested and left to the imagination, which at this point was sort of a staple for the Carpenter/Hill team, their thought was what you don't see,is scarier that what you do see. The ghostly crew of the Elizabeth Dane are actually secondary characters in The Fog. the true monster is The Fog itself, rolling from nowhere and covering the entire town and enveloping everyone.

The Fog is one of Carpenter's best, this film has held up very good for going on 30 years now and it has a timeless feel to it, and no matter how many times you watch it will still run chills down your spine, that is the true test of a classic horror film, and this film is a classic.

Well I hope you enjoyed this latest installment on Frightmare Reviews please check back often for new reviews.

Update

The 3rd Nightmare On Elm Street review will be complete sometime in the next couple of weeks, kind of got myself burned out on the them for a little bit.

Coming up this week I will have a review up for The Terminator, not really horror, but it's a good movie.

A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master

Proving there's no rest for the wicked, the unspeakably evil Freddy Krueger is again resurrected from the grave to wreak havoc upon those who dare to dream. But this time, he faces a powerful new adversary!


As her friends succumb one by one to Freddy's wrath, telepathically gifted Kristen embarks on a desperate mission to destroy the satanic dream stalker and release the tortured souls of his victims once and for all.

A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master was a movie I was looking forward to watching after viewing Nightmare 3: Dream Warriors. Nightmare 3 was a powerhouse movie, and I have to say that Nightmare 4: The Dream Master was lacking, I'm not saying that I didn't like the film, I'm just saying their were certain things about it I didn't like or agree with. I was surprised that after killing Nancy and her father in part that they wouldn't more or less start over in the next film, withing the first half of the film Kincaid, Joey and Kristen are all killed off, which completely wipes the slate clean and also completely severed any connection to the previous films, which I think hurt the storyline and the main aesthetic of the movie.

A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master begins not long after the events of Nightmare 3, carried over from Dream Warriors is Kristen(which is not played by Patricia Arquette)Kincaid and Joey and they are all beginning to have nightmares once again. Freddy returns in Kincaid's nightmare where from what I seem to understand is from Kincaid's dog Jason and his magical piss of fire. Kristen is the final Elm Street kid which means for Freddy that his revenge is almost complete, but Freddy just enjoys killing too much to give up, so in order for Freddy to continue killing he causes Kristen to call Alice (which is Kristen's closest friend ) into her nightmare, which causes a link between Kristen and a new set of kids, but before Kristen dies she passes her dream power on to Alice (which in hindsight Kristen probably shouldn't have done), which now makes it possible for Freddy to continue to kill since now Alice can pull anyone into her dreams, making them all vulnerable to Freddy and his razor claws. Alice who begins the film very quiet, soft spoken and all about scared person, starts to change and grow stronger and more confident after every death, she begins to take traits from her fallen friends.

Nightmare 4: The Dream Master, was quite good, good things to say are that Robert Englund was great in this film, no other person could Freddy Kruger they way he does and he really is the main person who has kept the franchise worth returning to time after time again. Alice is also a good character in this film that I liked, she starts off very weak, she doesn't seem like she would be the person to make it to the end of the film, but as time goes by she grows stronger and really pulls through. Also in this film Freddy's "dream world" is not in this, director Renny Harlin makes it more of alternate or parallel reality to ours, which gave a fresh feel, instead of tread old ground again.

Now onto the what I didn't like about this film, the main thing I did not like was that Patricia Arquette did not play Kristen, I find that when their are sequels are a series of films, it's nice to have the same actors reprise their roles from the previous film, it makes the believability of the world that these films create more credible, and when you take someone out and replace then with someone else it just throws a wrench into your imagination and completely screws up the aesthetic of the film, in the Nightmare series every character who has returned whenther it be a small or large was played by the same actor/actress who originally played them. Also the explanation of Freddy coming back was extremely weak, since their was a specific ritual to keep him buried, I seriously doubt a dog taking a fire piss on his grave is going to make him return.

It did though have some decent kills, some a little cheesy and campy, but what do you expect, Kincaid his death is quite simple Freddy just stabs him with his claws. Joey his death is reminiscent of Glenn's(Johnny Depp)death in the original nightmare, Joey is sucked inside of his bed, this time it being a waterbed and drowning. Kristen dies by getting burned alive(which was pretty weak compared to what she went through in the previous film). One gets the life literally sucked out of her, another goes down while karate fighting Freddy, and another get her arms broken while working out and then turns into a giant bug(which is her worst fear) and wind sup inside of roach motel that Freddy then squeezes and kills her inside of it. Their wasn't a large amount of effects in the film, but the ones their were, were done quite well.

This is really the new start to a two parter in the series, since 1 and 3 go together and then 4 and 5 go together, all the rest completely throw away anything that has happened in any of the other films and did their own thing, 5 is kind of a odd film, a lot may not like it, unless you what to own the series or just want to have the 4 and 5 storyline, this installment may not be for you, it takes a new twist on the dreams and Freddy's mythos...

...which you will learn about in my next review, which will also be the 3rd and final installment in this 3 part review series.

A Nightmare On Elms Street 3: Dream Warriors

A nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, In my Opinion is the true sequel to the original nightmare. Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's revenge was the oddball of the series, part2 sort of abandoned everything that happened in the first


A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, is strong movie, it has good characters and it builds on the mythos that was in original Nightmare On Elms Street and it put Freddy back into the nightmare terrorizing teenager, which is where he belongs. In Nightmare 3 we also see Heather Lankenkamp return to Nightmare 3 as Nancy Thompson, which is a crucial character connecting part 1 to Part 3.

Not only is Nancy back but in Part 3 we get to learn more about Freddy's life, other that he was a child murderer and then killed by the local parents of Springwood, and this is also the movie where we get the Freddy we love, the sarcasm and the wittiness come to the foreground in this film as well.

A nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors takes place approximately 6 years after the events of the first film and now Nancy Thompson is a graduate student and back in Springwood and has come back to join the staff at the local mental health institution. When she arrives at the hospital she learns that several kids from elm street are being treated, and all are having dreams far too similar to the dreams she had had as a teenager. Nightmare 3 also introduces the character Kristen, who has the remarkable ability to bring any person into her dreams with her. This ability gives Nancy the idea, that all the elm street kids have a dream power and this soon becomes the basis of Nancy's plan to stop Freddy once and for all. Trying to get her peers to see that these dreams are not a product of guilt and that they are actually been caused by Freddy and that if they die the dream they die in real life, presents itself to be problematic and because of this a few souls are collected. On top of all this other fun stuff we get to learn about Freddy's tragic birth.

This movie has itself some very good death scenes and probably one of my favorites is the sleepwalking scene, which it's probably a lot of peoples favorites; In this scene Freddy takes the shape of this puppet that the patient has made and then slices open the kids arms and legs and then pulls the veins out like the strings on a marionette and makes him walk himself up to the top of the building and jump, Nightmare 3 also has the giant snake that tries and eats Kristen, and also another of my favorites is when he kills this girl, who plans on becoming a TV Star when she get out of the hospital get her head shoved inside of TV, this is also where the famous line "Welcome to primetime, Bitch" was first uttered. Some oft eh dream powers are a bit silly (such as the wizard master). Kincaid has some of the best lines in the movie when it comes to calling Freddy names, also their is a shovel scene towards the end with Dr. Neil and a skeleton that is quite enjoyable to watch. Special effects in this movie don't stand up to today's standards, they were quite impressive when this movie was released.

Nightmare 3 is my favorite out of the series and is the best in the series aside from Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. Nightmare 3 killing is no longer just a business of revenge but something he truly enjoys and has as much fun with as possible.

This is Part 1 in a 3 Part review series the next two will be A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master and A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child

Friday 13th Part 3 3D

Friday the 13Th Part 3 starts off the day after the events of part 2 where Ginny and Jason have their final showdown, this installment in the Friday the 13Th franchise follow a groups of friends Chris her boyfriend Rick, the pregnant Debbie and her boyfriend Andy, Vera who is setup with Shelly and the two stoners Chuck and Chili.


The group of kids are headed out to Chris Higgins family cabin Higgins's Haven for a weekend of fun and... murder, not long after arrival Rick surprises Chris when she comes into the cabin scaring her almost to death and later Shelly almost scares her to death when he pretends he has been murdered.

Vera and Shelly head into town to go to the store and while their are confronted by a bike gang consisting of Loco, Ali and Fox, upon leaving Shelly runs over Ali's motorcycle, the gang then follow Shelly back to the cabin and siphons their gas from the Chris' van so they can burn down the barn, but before any of this happens Jason get to them.

That Night Chris and Rick are out in the woods alone, talking out their problems and this is when Chris tells Rick for the first time what happened to her in the woods a couple of years before(this had been hinted several times in the movies), she proceeds to tell Rick that when he dropped her off a couple of years before from a date, that when she went in her parents were waiting up for her as she was out passed curfew and got into huge fight resulting in Chris' mom slapping her, as punishment to her parents Chris runs away into the woods, as to make he parents worry, well she ends up falling asleep under a tree and then is awakened to the sound of footsteps that she thinks is her father, but turns out to be Jason, she fights and fights and fights but Chris ends blacking out and waking up the next day at home, and the event her parents refuse to even acknowledge even happened.

Well upon Chris and Rick's return they find the cabin empty and the lights out so they begin to investigate, but when Rick and Chris are separated Jason kills Rick by crushing his head and resulting in his eye popping out of his head, Jason then throws Rick's body through the living room window at Chris, who then flees to her van, but it stalls(from the gas being siphoned out earlier) she then runs to the barn, where the final showdown between Chris and Jason takes place, when Chris finally thinks she has killed Jason by hanging him on the rope from the loft and pushing out of the top floor, she goes down and opened the barn down and sees him hanging their and then for the final jump he moves and lifts himself off the rope and revealing his face, which Chris immediately recognizes as the same man who attacked her two years earlier.

Review:

Out of the original 8 Friday the 13Th's Part 3 comes in 3rd out of my favorites, acting not that grand, character development not good, Chris and Rick are hardly in it until the end, Chili and Chuck have like 3 scenes and only 1 that has any substance to it, and also the look to be a lot older than the rest of the group a lot older especially Chuck, Vera is sorta the loner, Andy and Debbie are gone most of the time and then their is Shelly who always aggravates everyone, but he's a good guy, but just doesn't have good self-esteem.

Putting all that aside though its just a lot of fun and it sets itself apart from the other Friday the13Th's, it's not set at a camp, theirs not any counselors, just a group of friends going to a cabin for the weekend and it plays more on suspense in this film, the opening with the husband and wife store owners builds quite a bit of suspense almost on the lines like Halloween, and it also has a completely different feel to it than the 2 before and the 7 sequels following and also lets not forget this is the one where Jason dons the hockey mask for the first and thus making Jason a iconic horror killer and a household name and also IT'S IN 3D!!!!!!

OK, onto the most recent release of Friday the 13Th Pt. 3 that was released I believe last week. The only feature the new release has is the 3D version of the movie that's it, NO behind the scenes, deleted scenes or commentary if you want that buy a another version of the movie or the box set of Friday the 13Th series, picture and sound quality are the same as that which is on the other DVDs and also on the box set version. So if you already have a copy of this and don't want the 3D version then don't buy this cause that's all your gonna get, but if you a big Friday the 13Th fan then this is a must have, so run out and get your copy now.

Stand out 3D moments:

the eyeball the old guy shows the group of friends, the rat on the plank, Rick's eyeball popping out of his head and the spear that goes into Vera's head.


The Kills:

Shelly: Jason slits his throat and takes his hockey mask, which he still wear to this day and made Jason a horror icon

Vera: she gets a spear through the left eye

Andy: He gets split down the middle with a machete while walking on his hands

Debbie: Debbie is stabbed from beneath her hammock(reminiscent of Kevin Bacon's death in F13 part 1) while reading a issue of Fangoria

Chuck: Killed in the cellar while looking at the fuses

Chili: Impaled by a hot fireplace poker

Rick: Jason crushes him with his bare hands and popping his eye out of his head


My Rating:
3 out of 4

Review: Return to Sleepaway Camp

It's summer camp as usual at Camp Manabe where the kids torment each other for fun while the underpaid camp staff provide as little supervision as possible. Greedy camp owner Frank (Vincent Pastore) and junior partner Ronnie (Paul DeAngelo) do their best to keep everyone in line, but something sinister is about to put a slash in the roster. When campers and staff mysteriously begin disappearing and turning into gruesome corpses, paranoid Ronnie can't shake the memory of a series of grisly murders that took place at Camp Arawak where he worked 2 decades ago. Has a "ghost" from the past come back to haunt him? As the paranoia worsens, Ronnie's list of possible killers starts growing just like the body count. Everyone becomes a suspect from vicious kids to shady members of the camp staff, and even former Camp Arawak camper Ricky (Jonathan Tiersten) who mysteriously works nearby. Who is knocking off these victims and why? Only one thing is for certain, something is carving a bloody new trail at Sleepaway Camp where kids can be so mean and surviving this summer is gonna be a real killer!


The movie starts out with three boys in their cabin lighting farts, Alan the protagonist in the film shows up and wants to try he craps himself trying to light the fart and the kids make fun of him and he becomes enraged and threatens them with the lighter by spraying bug spray onto the flame, counselor Randy shows up and Alan freak and runs out. Later at the social Alan starts a fight with Randy resulting in him getting ice cream, as he is in the kitchen Mickey the cook begins to bully Alan throwing eggs at him and then Alan mad again throws a knife at Mikey narrowly missing his head, Mickey is killed later that night. Later during the social Alan his tricked into smoking cow crap that he think is marijuana, by a kid named Weed, again later that night Weed is killed. The bullying of Alan continues on and becomes work as the week goes on, first being shot during a paintball war, then Michael makes Alan look like a sick twisted freak in order to steal Karen away from Alan, and Alan is given a wedgie by T.C. and Chooch in front of everyone at the waterfront. That very evening, Michael, T.C., and Marie force Karen to lure Alan to the back of the stage, where they rip his clothes off, tie him up, blindfold him and embarrass him in front of everyone at the social.

Ronny who was counselor at Camp Arawak when the murders happened their by a camper named Angela is now becoming even more paranoid starting to believe that a counselor named Petey is the killer because she is for some reason always around when Alan is getting bullied, he accuses her and then she runs out and you for some reason never see her again even though she wasn't killed, Ronny then becomes more and more paranoid as the movie goes on starting to accuse most of everyone even Angela's(the killer in the first sleepaway camp) cousin Ricky who works rather close to the camp. As the killing ensues everyone starts to believe that it is Alan who his killing everyone as he is the one who is always picked on and also has threatened people. Now the kills continue on from this point until the end of the movie, which has a twist ending but not that much of a twist, nothing compared to the ending to the original Sleepaway Camp, Michael finally finds Alan after he ran off from the last prank hiding at is spot int he woods, which is where you find out that Alan is not the killer, he doesn't even know that people have been killed, Michael though beats the crap out of Michael almost killing when the real killer shows up and knock him, later everyone finds them both out in the woods and then the killer reveal themselves.


Spoiler Alert:

The Killer turns out to be Sheriff Jerry the cop that has been at the camp most of the movie and is always their when the murders happen, who is actually Angela dressed in drag as the Sheriff at the end of the movie she says that kids are still mean, cruel and deserve all that they got.

End Spoiler

The Kills:

1. Mickey: head first into the deep fryer

2. Weed: filled with gas and explodes when he has a lit cigarette place in to his mouth

3. Frank(camp owner) Has a bird cage place onto his head and filled with rats that inevitably eat him

4. Randy: tied to a tree and has twine tied around his penis and attached to his jeep which Linda drives away in thinking that Alan is their to kill them which results in him getting his penis yanked off

5. Linda: drives into barb-wire that the killer has set up between two trees stretching it across the road, the bard wire wraps round her face and she then drives into a tree.

6. T.C.: he gets spike through the eye, it doesn't kill him at first,, so he freak out running around and then runs into a wall and it drives the spike all through his head.

7. Bella: she is laying in her bed the bottom bunk, when she notices that the bunk above is covered in nails pointing in her direction, then the killer jumps from the rafter on the top bunk falling onto Bella and impaling her with bunches of nails.

8. Michael: he was skinned alive.

This was really good movie for a sequel that was made over 20 years later, it really delivers the goods, great gore some pretty good kill scenes. The movie also has good pacing not a whole lot of crap going before, the movie pretty much picks up a week or so after camp starts, so everyone know everybody and you come into the middle of it all. Acting though is a bit mediocre, but that makes a good low-budget horror film, it does get a little repetitive on the Alan getting bullied scenes but I can see why they did that, they really want to set Alan as being the killer which of course he is not, and also when it comes Alan don't expect to like him he is whiny, annoying as says stupid things to people like your ass stinks, for the lead this isn't really what you want to go for but you do feel a bit sorry for him not much but a bit , enough so that it makes the movie bearable. Actually everyone in this movie were real jerks except for Ronny and Petey, everyone bullied Alan and were extremely disrespectful to any authority figure, but that does show how a lot of kids are these days. It was awesome that they brought Ronny back from the first to be in this one, Ronny is just cool that's all you can say. It does has a different feel from the original sleepaway camp, but I find that to be a good thing, cause if I want that I would just watch the original, it may not have the same feel but it has the same spirit of the first Sleepaway Camp. I found it extremely entertaining and fun, I do recommend buying this film as I will be doing the same here soon.

New review This Week

I will be reviewing Return To Sleepaway Camp this week, so check back and read.

Review: Mirrors

This is the story of Ben Carson a suspended police officer who gets a job as the nightwatchman at the department store Mayflower which is closed down due to a fire. Ben noticed aside from the entire inside being completely gutted by a fire that all the mirrors are spotless. As the night goes on all runs smooth, until his first round through the building by himself, as he makes his rounds he comes across a giant mirror in the lobby and begins to notice hand prints all over the mirror(which was spotless earlier) and he begins to try and clean the mirror but the hand prints won't wash off, as he continues to clean the mirror he hears a woman scream, he follows the scream which bring him to a dressing room where their is no one, he then realizes that he can only see this person through a mirror.

This continues until one night as Ben Carson is at work, his sister Angela(Amy Smart)is at home taking a bath and as she prepares for her bath she is looking at herself in the, but as she turns away her reflections stay their and stares at her, now as she is in the bathtub here reflection acts of it's own accord and grab the upper and lower parts of it's own jaw and begins to pull and the a real Angela feels the effects as her lower jaw is completely torn of from her head. When Ben finds out she is dead he goes back to the Mayflower and tries to break the mirrors unsuccessfully as it repairs itself, he becomes frustrated and yell "What do you want from me" and the glass begins to crack and it spells the name "ESSEKER".

Ben has detective friend of his look up the Name Esseker and it comes back a girl named Anna Esseker , who was patient at St. Matthews Metal Hospital, which is conveniently located underneath the MAYFLOWER. Ben get her file and it says that she was killed while in the hospital but at further inspection, he find that her Dr. had doctored(no pun intended) her file and she was actually released two days before the supposed accident. Ben tracks her down and Anna is living in a Monastery where mirrors are banned, She tells Ben that the Dr. had diagnosed her with split personality and as a way to cure her put her in a room with mirrors all around her, this was supposed to make her confront the other perosnality which would cure her, as it really turns out to be Anna was actually possessed and the demon had left her and went into the mirrors and had been awaiting her return since, Ben the explains to her what is going and what has happened to the other nightwatchmen and he tell about his sister and his family she says she would pray for him and his family and that was all she could do, then at this point Ben takes Anna at gunpoint from the monastery and back to the MAYFLOWER.

He takes Anna into the basement of the MAYFLOWER and she goes into the room with mirrors and she sits their you can see the demons pushing at the glass(a lot like when Freddy in a nightmare on elms street pushes on the wall) at which point all hell breaks loose and the demons reenter Anna and she becomes possessed and tried and kills Ben after lengthy little battle Ben finally overcomes Anna and kills her, but also becoming trapped inside the building and the audience thinks he is dead, but this is Keifer Sutherland they won't kill him off will they? Nope, but he also isn't in this world anymore, Ben has passed between worlds and is now inside the mirrors.


Alexandre Aja directed this remake(his second remake) and he could have done a lot much better, after his film Haute Tension, he could've done a lot of things and the two films he chooses next are remakes, his first The Hills Have Eyes which was a good film the original was way better, I would suggest save your money and just buy the original and of course the current movie under the microscope Mirrors.
Mirrors is a halfway decent horror film for a polished Hollywood release. One thing I did like about it was that even though it did have a well-known lead(Keifer Sutherland) it was still able to build suspense, as an avid fan of horror I have come to find that most horror movies that have well-known celebrities usually don't build enough tension and suspense, because for the most part you know that chances are they will live in some way or another. Now for anyone who didn't know this is a remake of an Asian film called INTO THE MIRROR, I personally have not seen the original, but more likely than not it is probably better that the remake, but as it is I am reviewing the remake and will try to stay on topic.

The ending was a quite a bit predictable, as you know chances of them killing Keifer off are slim, but at the same time it is horror movie and they want to end on a down note. All in all though it was watchable, I would not buy it and chances are I won't watch it again either it was good but not a two-timer though.


I give it 2 out of 4


Thank you all for reading my review and hope you will return and read more as I post them

Hello

Hi, I am Window In Time this is my second blogspot, My other is beneathremainsreviews.com this one here is Frightmare Reviews, I will be reviewing Horror movies here, Old and New and even gonna do retrospectives, so check back often and see what new stuff I have.
