The Cabin In The Woods (2011)

Wanted to pop on and write a review about an awsome film I watched last night: 'The Cabin in the Woods'.

Genre: Horror
My Rating: 9/10
Scare Factor: 8/10
Gore Factor: 10/10
Humour level: Medium
Suspense level: High
Rated: 15
Cast: Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison.

5 friends decide to spend a few nights in a cabin in the woods. However after reading from a diary found in the creepy basement, they are then terrorised by some unwanted visitors back from the dead. Little do they know that they are being watched and controlled by a team who specialise in human torment and sacrifice.

This is just a snippet of the storyline but really there is a lot more to it and little secrets are revealed as the movie progresses. Now i found this film terrifying because the one thing that scares me is zombies or dead corpses, anything like that. Don’t get me wrong I still watch them and get a thrill from being scared but if you’re like me and freak when you see something rise from a grave, then you will be shaking with this film.
Now before I watched this film my friend warned me about something and I think I should do the same for you. The characters are all very stereotypical: the slutty girl, the jock, the stoner etc. but it is key for the storyline! Kind of hard to explain but once you watch the film you will understand so stick with it, even though it seems stupid at first!

It’s also a very gory film but if it wasn’t it wouldn’t be as good. Now even if you don’t get as scared as I did, it’s a cracking storyline with great twists to keep you entertained! I hope you all enjoy it as much as me!

Orphan (2009)

Im sorry its been so long, but just want to say hi to my first follower! Make sure and recommend me to your friends and everyone get commenting! Ok so lets review an unltra creepy film: 'Orphan'

Genre: Horror
My Rating:   8/10
Scare Factor: 8/10
Gore Factor:   7/10
Humour level: Low
Suspense level: Medium
Rated: 15
Cast: Vera Farmiga, Peter Sarsgaard, Isabelle Fuhrman.

After loosing their baby, a couple decide to make a new addition to the family and adopt an orphan named Esther. At first she gets along well with the family and their two children but soon sick and twisted events start to happen and the mum seems to think that Esther is behind it. When she finds out that the orphanage Esther was supoosed to have come from has no record of her, the mum has to convince her husband that Esther isn't who she says she is to protect her family before it's too late.

This film is creepy as hell! Lets just say that Esther has a secret that you will never guess and when you find out, it's shocking! something to warn you about is that this film doesnt have much blood and gore in it at all but the opening scene leads you to think otherwise. It's very disgusting at first but the rest of the film gives you chills and thrills without horrifying gore so stick with it!
I think the film has different scare levels for different people because i've seen way scarier movies but yet I have heard from a few people that they were terrified of this film. I think it depends on what scres you... if creepy little girls with an blank stare give you the creeps, then you will absolutely get a scare from this film. However i recommend that everyone watch it because it is a fantastic film with a great storyline and a real pleaser for any scary movie fan!

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!
