Scary Movie Fact

Hey scary movie fans! A new post is coming your way soon but until then I wanted to post this fun fact I heard on the radio this morning. Apparently when watching a scary movie we burn 200 calories! :o This is because of the adrenaline rush we get from watching them. Not to mention the fact we jump at scary movies too so that will probably burn off some more as well! Therefore you can all feel less guilty now when munching popcorn at the movies cause u know you will burn some of it off anyways! Anyway I'll put up a new post in the next few days. Bye for now!

White Noise (2005)

Hey scary movie people! heres my next post and we are going for a horror! It's the chilling 'White Noise'.

Genre: Horror
My Rating: 9/10
Scare Factor: 9/10
Gore Factor: 6/10
Humour level: Low
Suspense level: Medium
Rated: 15
Cast: Michael Keaton, Deborah Kara Unger and Ian McNeic.

In this film, a man finds out his wife has gone missing and when he tries to move on he is found by a man who claims he has been talking to her from the other side through white noise. Although he resists at first, he develops an obsession with using white noise to contact his wife but soon learns there are other things contacting him and they dont like to be disturbed...

The first time I watched it was back when I was terrified of scary movies (oh how times have changed!) and I was forced to watch this against my will at a sleepover. At that time it was terifying so now that I watch them all the time I wasn't sure how scary I would find it! At first I was sitting bored waiting to be scared but completely jumped out of my skin when the first jump came, and I never stopped!

Whats the point of this wee story? It's to warn you that for the first 20 mins or so you will be sitting waiting for something to happen but stick with it cause it does get really good! As well as jumping every few minutes the storyline becomes perfectly creepy which gives you chills and leaves you terrified therefore making the scare factor a 9/10! Though one thing I will say is that you will be so sick of the sound of white noise by the end of the film.

I wouldn't worry too much about the film being bloody, some scenes have broken bones etc but its not until the end when it gets more shocking. Anyway give this one a try if you want a movie that makes you jump and scream!

The Client (1994)

Ok gang! it's time to look at one of my all time favourite thrillers: 'The Client'.

Genre: Thriller
My Rating:  10/10
Scare Factor: 2/10
Gore Factor:  1/10
Humour level: Low
Suspense level:  Medium
Rated: 15
Cast: Susan Sarandon, Tommy Lee Jones, Brad Renfro.

The client is about an 11 year old boy Mark (Renfro) who witnesses the lawyer of the mafia commit suicide. Before this happens the lawyer tells Mark that he knows where a body is burried. Unfortuantely for Mark, it isn't long before the police know that Mark has this information and interogate him. As if that isnt enough, the mafia are also aware Mark has the information and are after him as well. With all this pressure from the police and fear for his life, Mark locates lawyer Reggie (Sarandon) who accepts Mark as her client even though all he and his family can afford to pay her is one dollar! From then on, Reggie has to find a way to save Mark from being sent to prision and being killed.

What a fantastic storyline! No it isn't a blood and gore film and no it doesnt have a serial killer on the loose but for anyone who enjoys thrillers, you can't get much better than this! The acting in it is fantastic especially from Tommy Lee Jones who plays the part of a big-headed and purposeful investigator to a high standard. And i promise you that you will have fallen in love with young Brad Renfro by the end of the film due to his bravery and quick wit! If your looking for a great thriller that you will be talking about for days, dont look a second longer, this is it!

What Lies Beneath (2000)

Ok so we are gonna look at a slightly older film now but dont doubt it's not scary cause this film will make you jump out your seat! It's: 'What Lies Beneath'.

Genre: Horror/Thriller
My Rating:  8/10
Scare Factor: 7/10
Gore Factor:  2/10
Humour level: Low
Suspense level: High
Rated: 15
Cast: Harrison Ford, Michelle Pfieffer and Katherine Towne.

This to me is a classic scary movie! It's another film which ive watched several times and never get tired of it.

Claire (Pfieffer) becomes paranoid thinking there is a ghost haunting her house when strange noises and events start to happen. At first she believes it is to do with the neighbours next door, but after further investigation, its a much darker secret than she thought!

Ok first of all, with two great actors such as Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfieffer you know its going to be good. But the storyline in this is fantastic: intense, surprsisng and totally unpredictable! It's your classic mystery murder film... who died and who killed them?
The gore factor is really low in this film cause there arent any bloody scenes in this film to scare u, it doesnt need it! There are hundreads of jumps in this film and an insane twist which makes it so enjoyable for anyone who loves a good spook!

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Right its time took look at a fantastic film, and no its not a horror this time, its a spoof! Enter: 'Shaun of the Dead'.

Genre: Comedy
My Rating: 10/10
Scare Factor: 1/10
Gore Factor:  4/10
Humour level: High
Suspense level:  Med
Rated: 15
Cast: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Kate Ashfield.

Ok so this is my first spoof review so some people might be wondering why this is on a scary movie review list. Well my fellow movie lovers even films with a scare level as low as 1/10 can still be amazing just as long as they have a kick-ass storyline!

I wouldn't recommend that you watch 'Dawn of the Dead' first (the scary version of this film) cause honestly you dont need to! I found it a really boring which is why this is the only review you are getting of that film. I watched 'Shaun of the Dead' without seeing it and can assure you that you will love it!

Two friends are put to the test when their whole town becomes taken over by zombies. And although they are oblivious at first, they soon realise that their only option is to hide out somewhere safe. And what do they come up with? The local pub!

I think ive seen this film at least 5 times because of two reasons: 1. I still laugh out loud when I watch it because the humour in it is so brilliant and 2. because if I'm with someone who hasnt seen it, I have to put it on! There is just enough suspense level to keep all you intense horror lovers entertained with occassional gore, just like any other zombie film!

Honestly don't be put off by the fact it's a comedy, cause everyone needs a laugh every now and then... even you!

Don't think I can say anymore to make you watch it, but here is the trailer in case you need anymore convincing ;)

Next review coming soon!

Sorry everyone I know its been a while since my last post! Will definitely have a few more posts up tonight! In the meantime, if u have seen any of the films Ive reviewed please leave a comment telling me what you thought, or recommend any that u would like a review for! Thanks :)
