The Ninth Gate (1999)

 

💀💀💀💀

Four "Horror Suspense" Stars

Streaming service: Tubi

Release date: 1999

Main cast: Johnny Depp, Emmanuelle Seigner, Lena Olin, and Frank Langelia

Story Synopsis:

Dean Corso (Johnny Depp) specializes in tracking down rare and exotic books for collectors. Dean is hired by Boris Balkan (Frank Langelia) to track down books that might be genuine to a book that he owns which is a satanic text called the Nine Gates. Balkan wants Corso to make sure that the book Balkan owns is genuine and to find out if the other books out there are genuine or forgeries. Corso is on a ride for his life when mishaps start happening to him on his quest to find the books. 

Thoughts:

This was a great movie - lots of intrigue and suspense. There is quite a bit of occult vibes running through the film and it kept me glued to my seat to find out what was going to happen to Corso on his pursuit to finding the books. I don't remember seeing this movie before either - I have seen it as far as advertising but never sat down to watch the movie. It is quite lengthy too - around 2 hours and 15 minutes long. All in all a great movie and I am glad that I finally watched it.

Annabelle Comes Home (2019)

 

😈😈😈😈😈

Five "Leave the Lights On" Stars

Streaming service: Tubi

Movie Year: 2019

Movie Cast (Main): Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga, Grace McKenna, Madison Iseman, and Katie Sarife

Story synopsis:

But when they go away for the evening and leave a baby sitter in charge of their daughter is when things go awry as Annabelle brings to life the evil spirits in the artifact room causing havoc and terror in the household. 

Thoughts:

This is one scary movie! I was freaked out through most of it as the tension and the jump scares kept me on the edge of my seat! It was almost as scary to me as watching the first Conjuring movie which also freaked me out. 

This movie gave me the "heebie jeebies" and almost made me want to leave the lights on in my room. I watched this movie in the dark - not a good idea. lol   The movie gets five stars from me for keeping me spooked!

Mortuary (2005)

 

💀💀💀💀

Four "Creeped Out" Stars

Streaming service: Tubi

Movie Year: 2005

Main Cast: Denise Crosby, Dan Byrd, Stephanie Patton, Alexandra Adi, Rocky Marquette

Storyline:

A family moves to a small town in California where they plan on starting a new life while running a long-abandoned funeral home.

Thoughts:

This was a good spooky movie! There were a few jump scares but if anything the whole movie was kind of intense as the cast of characters were trying to evade dead bodies that were coming to life and I was wondering what was going to happen next! 

Though I felt that sometimes the characters would do something that made it seem they were not very bright either - their choices were not top notch but then again this is a horror movie so those "do not run that way" trope came into play! :)

Dark Night of the Scarecrow 2 (2022)

 

My Rating

💀

Watched October 1st

Streaming service: Tubi

Plot/Synopsis:

When Chris Rhymer and her young son Jeremy are forced to relocate to a small rural community, they have no idea of the past terror that their presence re-awakens.

Thoughts:

It was okay - wasn't great - loved the first movie way better as it was more scarier. This movie really didn't do justice to the first movie. Though the backstory was supposed to be considered taboo by the local town folk of what had taken place years before. I felt the scarecrow villain which is supposed to be Bubba Ritter but as a ghost was not very scary either. I am glad I watched it but I won't watch it again. I would rather watch the first over and over. 

Ouija House (2018)

 

My Rating

💀💀

Watched October 1st 

Streaming site: Freevee

Plot/Synopsis:

A girl takes her friends to a house with a dark past for a research project. They unwittingly summon an evil entity with plans of its own who makes the house part of its sinister game.

Thoughts:

It was a good movie - wasn't really scary - the only character I recognized was Dee Wallace as she played in the movie but she wasn't a main character - more like a support character. But the movie did have some creep out moments but nothing that kept me spooked out of my skin. A couple of the Ouija movies in that franchise are scary but this one didn't make the grade for me. 

Horror Movies - Halloween October Fest - Week of the 8th - 14th

 

My second week of horror movies are a little bit of a mix with movies I own and movies that I have not seen. So old and new to me are mixed in with this batch. 

October 8th

Spirit (2001) - watched on Freevee

My rating: 💀

Plot/synopsis:

When Kelly and her father move to New Orleans after the death of her mother, strange things start happening in their new home. Kelly is convinced that the house is haunted by a ghost who needs her help. Her father does not believe her, so she enlists her friend Cole to help discover the truth.

Thoughts:

I didn't realize that Greg Evigan played in a ghost movie but as much as I use to like him back in the day - this movie wasn't memorable for him as I didn't even know that it existed. This movie was just.....odd and I didn't feel any spookiness with it at all. If anything it put me to sleep. You can turn off all the lights in your house with this one as there is nothing scary here! 

October 9th

What Lies Beneath (2000) - own this one

My rating:💀💀💀💀💀

Plot/synopsis:

The wife of a university research scientist believes that her lakeside Vermont home is haunted by a ghost - or that she is losing her mind.

Thoughts:

This is one creepy movie and I don't care how many times I watch it - I still jump at the spooky stuff that happens in this movie. This is one movie that I make sure to watch right around Halloween as the creepy atmosphere is perfect for this time of season. 

October 10th

Hell Trip (2018)  - watched on Freevee

My rating: 💀💀

Plot/Synopsis:

A group of young US tourists' vacation in Africa turns into the ultimate nightmare when they arrive at an abandoned lodge isolated in a remote African rural area that holds an ominous and deadly secret.

Thoughts:

This movie was a typical slasher movie giving it two stars for effort. The slasher was kind of a surprise but once everything started playing out I just felt that it didn't have enough blood for me otherwise I would have given it three stars. :) 

October 11th

Joyride 2 (2008) - own this one

My rating: 💀💀💀💀

Plot/Synopsis:

After their car breaks down in the desert, four friends try to find their way back to civilization while trying to escape Rusty Nail's bloody wrath.

Thoughts:

This second movie in this franchise is really good and I feel that there is quite a bit of tension with nail biting moments. This movie is almost as good as the first movie. Rusty Nail is just as bad a villain as he was in the first movie. 

October 12th

House on Haunted Hill (1959) - watched on Freevee

My rating: 💀💀💀💀

Plot/Synopsis:

A millionaire offers $10,000 to five people who agree to be locked in a large, spooky, rented house overnight with him and his wife.

Thoughts:

The older movies usually hold up as well as the newer movies now days. I love Vincent Price in this movie and though there are some cheesy moments I still felt the spookiness of the ghosts that appear in this one. 

October 13th

Christine (1983) - own this one  (Stephen King movie adaption)

My rating: 💀💀💀💀💀

Plot/Synopsis:

A teenage boy (Arnie) buys a car with an evil mind of its own and the boy's nature starts to change to reflect it.

Thoughts:

I read the book within the last three or four years and there are slight differences between the book and the movie, but I love this movie which shows how evil a car can be and that anyone can become a victim with this car! I find myself rooting for the car in this thriller as revenge is sweet as the victims deserved what they got for treating Arnie bad. The only ones that didn't deserve to be treated bad was Arnie's best friend, Dennis and Arnie's girlfriend, Leigh. 

October 14th

House of Wax (2005)

My rating:  💀💀💀💀💀

Plot/Synopsis

A group of teens are unwittingly stranded near a strange wax museum and soon must fight to survive and keep from becoming the next exhibit.

Thoughts:

I love this movie too and I make sure to watch it every year around Halloween. The creepiness of the wax museum and the baddies in this one are enough to give you nightmares. I love all the characters in this one.....well except for maybe Paris Hilton - lol - but all in all the jump scares are timed perfect and this is definitely a nail biter right up to the end of the movie. 

That is my wrap up this week for horror movies so will see you all next week for more "spooky boo" fun! 

Horror Movies - October Halloween Fest (16th - 22nd)

 

My third week of horror movies was fun as I tapped into quite a few of the different apps this time. Also I watched one of my own horror movies that I have on dvd which I pull out every year to watch around this time of year. 

16) Havenhurst (2016) - watched on Crackle

My rating: 💀💀💀💀

Thoughts:

This movie was really good and creepy! I was kind of surprised really that it turned out as spooky as it did. 

The plot is about a woman (Jackie) that moves into an apartment where one of her friends disappeared with no trace. The landlord is an elderly woman (Eleanor) and interesting enough she rents the same apartment to Jackie that use to belong to her missing friend. Eleanor runs the apartment complex with an iron hand along with her son Ezra. Weird things start happening though in the complex especially in the apartment that Jackie rents - things disappearing, noises and knocks in the apartment which gives the reasoning to maybe the complex is haunted, but it is so much more than that. 

From the time Jackie moves in to the time things start happening within her apartment the tension and suspense moves up notches till by the end of the movie you have devoured a whole bag of chips! lol  Well I almost devoured them - lol.  The apartment plus the whole complex is basically booby-trapped and by that I mean you will need to watch this movie to understand what happens within this movie that will make you eat through a bag of chips or box of cookies! lol  That is why I gave this movie four stars as it kept me on the edge of my seat. Amazingly enough it didn't seem to get good ratings but I enjoyed it so I must be in the minority on this one. 

17) Haunting of Helena (2012) - watched on Prime

My rating: 💀💀💀

Thoughts:

The story sounded really good for this one, but I only gave it three stars as it was just kind of twilight zone weird and it wasn't really creepy, but you wouldn't know that by looking at the art cover of the movie - it looks downright scary but to me it didn't really live up to keeping me in suspense. 

The plot revolves around a woman that has become recently divorced and she is in a car accident with her young daughter. They have moved into an apartment and her daughter is starting to lose her teeth. She lost her first tooth in the car accident and now she has another tooth loose. I know, you are probably wondering what lost teeth have to do with this movie - well actually the story situates around loose teeth and kind of a twisted tooth fairy story. But this tooth fairy is far from being nice and she is out for wanting anyone that lives in that apartment to lose their teeth. There is more to the story but it would give away spoilers to continue and I won't be doing that on here, so if you are curious about this movie then go watch it to learn more. 😉

I felt that the whole movie was strange during the beginning and middle of the movie, but finally near the end of the movie is when everything makes sense and you find out more about the "twisted" tooth fairy. So that is why I gave this three stars. Critic reviews are about 4 out of 10 - so I gave it 3 which is about right I guess. 

18) 100 Feet (2008) - own this one - dvd

My rating: 💀💀💀💀💀

Thoughts:

This movie is probably considered rare as no one seems to know much about it. I rented it from Movie Gallery years ago - not too long after it first came out and then I ended up buying it from Movie Gallery as they would sell copies of the movies they had months later, so I grabbed a copy of it. 

The plot centers around a woman (Marnie) that had killed her husband in self defense as he use to beat her all the time. Her husband had been a cop and she had reported him lots of times to the precinct where he worked of the abuse, but no one ever did anything about it. Marnie is released from prison, but has to serve her remaining sentence on house arrest and she is sent back to the home where she committed the murder of her husband. Little does anyone know that the home is harboring her dead husband's spirit and his abusive ways have not changed in death as much as they had been in life. 

This movie is scary and I think it is a great ghost movie which depicts a violent ghost that will do whatever it takes to make his presence known. Lots of different things happen within this movie with her being on house arrest and that is about all I am going to say on it as anything else said would be spoilers. If you want to watch a scary movie then see if you can grab this one from somewhere. I have never seen it play on any platform as I have only seen it on dvd. But it stars: Famke Janssen (Marnie) and Michael Pare (the ghost). 

19) Exorcist III (1990) - watched on Netflix

My rating: 💀💀💀💀

Thoughts:

This was a creepy movie and I think I had seen the beginning of it long time ago, but never watched the whole movie. 

The plot centers around the Gemini killer who died years ago in the electric chair, but there have been murders going on in a suburb of Georgetown in the city of Washington D.C. that make it seem there could be a copycat killer. Lt. Kinderman is investigating the murders and some things just don't add up so the deeper he digs into the recent murders the more he believes something else is going on......supernatural. That is about all I can give as I don't want to do spoilers. This movie is based off the book Legion by William Peter Blatty. 

The movie is suspenseful, creepy and has quite a bit of the supernatural demonic theme running through it. But as much as I liked the movie I don't think I would re-watch it. It has some spooky parts, but it is not downright horror scary to me. Maybe the book is scarier and I will have to tap into that at some point.  

20) Anaconda (1997) - watched on Prime

My rating: 💀💀💀💀

Thoughts:

I watched this movie a long time ago, but haven't seen it in years. 

The plot centers around six people that are wanting to document an elusive tribe that lives deep within the Amazon River. While they are going down the river they come across a man (Paul) that is in trouble as his boat broke down, so they let him come with them which ends up being a big mistake. Paul claims to know where the tribe is located and tells them how to get there, but he also warns them of an anaconda snake that roams the river. What they don't know is that Paul has plans on trying to capture the snake as it will bring much money and he is wanting to capture it with or without their help. 

There is definitely lots of snake action in this movie and things go bad real quick when the snake shows up. Lots of fast paced action with the snake and the team trying to keep Paul under control. Interesting enough this is the only movie I have seen in this franchise, but I did notice that there are a couple more I can view on some of those apps I downloaded, so will probably tap into those before the month is out. 😀

21) Conjuring 2 (2016) - watched on Netflix

My rating: 💀💀💀💀💀

Thoughts:

This was one scary movie and I feel that it is almost more scary than the first movie! 

The plot centers around a house that is haunted by an old man and a demonic entity which is located in Enfield London. The family are the Hodgsons' and one of their daughters (Janet) is the key focal point in this movie. Janet sleepwalks but she also starts having conversations with someone that no one else can see which turns out to be an old man that use to live in the house and that died in the house. Things go from bad to worse as the old man tries to control Janet and there is quite a bit of paranormal activity that happens in the house, but the bedroom of Janet and her sister becomes so bad with activity that her parents lock up the room. One thing leads to another on them trying to get help which eventually Ed and Lorraine Warren get involved. From that point on in the story things get more interesting with scares and thrills which makes this a top spooky movie to watch.

So I felt that this movie was a scary one especially watching it in the dark on a quiet night in the house! There is a scene which I figure a lot of you horror lovers have seen probably more than once so I am figuring this scene I am about to mention is not really a spoiler. The scene where the nun comes to life in the home of Ed and Lorraine Warren. That is really creepy with the shadow of the nun walking along the wall to go behind the nun portrait. Yeah that scene will scare your socks right off! The first time I watched that movie I think had bad dreams! lol  Yeah it happens - sometimes stuff like this digs into your psyche and doesn't want to let go. Great movie and definitely something worth watching around this time of year. 

22) The Changling (1980) - watched on Tubi

My rating: 💀💀💀💀

Thoughts:

This was a great creepy movie that starred George C. Scott. I was trying to rack my brain last night on if I had ever seen it and to be honest it did not look familiar when I watched it. I had heard about it years ago, but I guess I just never got around to watching it. 

The plot centers around John Russell (George C. Scott) whose family was in a horrific car accident which killed his wife and daughter. So John decides to rent a house so that he can be alone to write his music and be away from everyone. The house is huge and it is an old gothic home that has been around since the turn of the century. But what John doesn't know is that the house is haunted and as soon as he gets settled the house makes itself known to him in small ways at first, but as time goes on there is a full blown haunting. 

I thought this movie captured the essence of the haunting as it was slow moving at first with little things happening to John, but then more things start happening as time goes on which John realizes not soon after moving in that the place is haunted. When the haunting really goes full throttle is when John gets involved with a séance which brings the house alive!

So that is it for this week of my horror movie watching! I have really been enjoying the new apps that I downloaded - especially Tubi as that app is just saturated in horror movies. There are lots of movies on Tubi especially within the horror realm that are from the 80's, 90's, early and middle 2000's that just stand out. There are some newer up to date ones too, but mostly the older horror movies are within that app.

Happy Horror Movie Watching Everyone! 

Horror Movies - Halloween October Fest (October 9th - 15th)

 

For the week of October 9 - 15, I discovered about four apps that I downloaded to my firestick this last week and found tons more horror movies to watch. 

Oh and if you are wondering what apps they are then here is what I downloaded: Tubi (not only are there hundreds of horror movies on here - they have thousands of other genres as well to watch), Filmrise (they don't have hundreds of horror movies, but they do have some of the old classics on there that I watched growing up), Pluto TV (there isn't really hundreds on here either, but they have some stuff that I haven't seen in a long time), and Crackle (they don't have that many either, but I just went ahead and downloaded them just to have something extra to watch). So let's get this horror movie party started! 

October 9 - 15:

9) The Manor (2021) - watched on Prime

My rating: 💀💀💀💀

Thoughts:

This was a new movie on Prime and it looked really good so I decided to try it out. Barbara Hershey plays in it - she is the main character. The movie was really good and spooky. The movie centers around Judith Albright (Barbara) who has a stroke and to recuperate she is sent to a nursing home. As she gets settled into the home (manor) residents of the home start dying and Judith thinks that a supernatural entity is responsible for their deaths. 

The movie has tons of mystery in it and I became entranced with the storyline as I was trying to figure it all out too of how the residents were dying. I wasn't sure if it was "something" that was killing them off or if it was just all in Judith's mind, but the last 30% of the movie you find out just what is responsible for the deaths and it blew me away as I was not expecting what the movie threw my way. Very good movie with tons of spooky atmosphere. 

10) The Curse of Buckout Road (2017) - watched on Prime

My rating: 💀💀💀

Thoughts:

This was an interesting movie - kind of spooky in spots. Danny Glover and Colm Feore play in this movie. This plot of the movie centers around urban legends of Buckout Road and some college kids think that it is all just a bunch of bunk as they decide to do a class project regarding the legend but they get a surprise when they find out that the legend might actually be true.

I only gave it three stars as it wasn't mind blowing scary, but there was quite a bit of mystery surrounding the road and just what was haunting the highway. All in all small spooks but nothing that blew my socks off. It takes a lot to "blow my socks off" - trust me! lol

11) Books of Blood (2020) - watched on IMDB

My rating: 💀💀

Thoughts:

This movie was just plain....weird. I really don't even know how to describe it as it was just out there. The plot revolves around a young man that his body is etched in writings from ghosts that want to tell their stories of what happened to them and they continually write on his body making him bleed profusely. Of course this movie is adapted from the book by author, Clive Barker. 

There is really more to the story of the movie but I thought I would just give the basic plot line of what the movie revolves around. I did watch it till the end of the movie even though it was odd as I was kind of just drawn into what was happening. I haven't read any books by Barker either and I think I did try to read this book many years ago, but never could tap into what was going on with the storyline so I gave up on it. If this movie is anything like the book then I can see why I gave up reading it. lol

12) Ghost Ship (2002) - watched on Filmrise

My rating: 💀💀💀💀💀

Thoughts:

I really love this movie! I remember renting it out from Blockbuster back in the day and I think I would rent it every year around Halloween. The plot centers around some salvagers that are approached by a young man that wants them to investigate a cruise liner that disappeared back in the 60's. 

They go out to sea to find the ship and when they find it finally they go aboard to see if anyone is still alive or if they can figure out what happened to the passengers. But what they find is more than they expected as the ghosts come alive on the ship the minute they set foot on it. They also find out that things are not all what they seem with the "young man" either. Lots of spook ghost action within this movie!

13) Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981) - watched on Tubi

My rating: 💀💀💀💀💀

Thoughts:

The first time I watched this movie was back in the late 80's and at that time I thought it was scary! It is still a great movie and it is hard to find, so I was surprised when I found it on Tubi. It has been a long time since I have seen it so it was really a treat to be able to watch it again.

The plot is centered around a man (Bubba) that is slow-minded and is friends with a young girl (Marylee). The girl ends up getting attacked by a dog, but some of the townspeople think that Bubba attacked the girl so they go after him. They end up killing him, but they get their just rewards when his ghost comes back for revenge.  

It is really a spooky story and it is perfect for this time of year. Has all the creepiness of someone that has been accused wrongly and ends up getting their revenge against those people. Though there is also quite a bit of emotion wrapped around the friendship of Bubba and Marylee so you really end up rooting for the ghost of Bubba to take care of the mean townspeople. I might end up watching it again before the end of the month. :)

14) Urban Legends: Bloody Mary (2005) - watched on Pluto TV

My rating: 💀💀💀💀

Thoughts:

I have seen all the Urban Legends movies, but I really like this one as it is a revenge story too. 

The plot is centered around a young woman (Mary) and her friends that are at a prom with some of the football players as their dates in the late 60's. The young men end up drugging their dates by putting something in their drinks, but Mary only drinks half of her drink and ends up getting in a fight with her date. The young man hits her knocking her out but he thinks she is dead so he hides her body. Forward into time - now the ghost of Mary is back and she is out for revenge against the children of the men who were the football players and she is ready to do whatever it takes to get even for what was done to her. 

This is really a creepy movie and there are lots of tense moments within the movie as well. You are rooting for Mary to get even for what happened to her and she is ends up exacting revenge on not only the children but she ends up getting her revenge against her old boyfriend as well. The children are not really young children either - they are teenagers and they are an unruly bunch kind of like their fathers were when they were on the football team. 

Another great movie to watch this time of year. :)

15) Boo! (2005) - watched on Tubi

My rating: 💀💀💀

Thoughts:

This is a creepy movie and has some spook stuff that jumps out at you as you are watching it. 

The plot centers around an abandoned hospital that is suppose to be haunted. Some boyfriends talk their girlfriends into entering the hospital just to check it out. Unbeknownst to the girlfriends though - a friend of the boyfriends has set up rooms in the hospital with prank props to scare the girls. But what none of them realize is that the hospital has its own pranks that it is getting ready to play on the unsuspecting teenagers. 

When I first watched this movie I thought it was really creepy and it has lots of spook action with the hospital coming alive, but after having watched it couple more times - it is still spooky but nothing that would have me rate it higher than three stars. I still enjoy watching it though for just the scares. 😀

So that wraps up this week of horror movie action! More apps means more to watch and more horror to step into which I love!  I will be back next week with another week of horror movies. 

👻👻 Stay Spooky! 👻👻

Horror Movies - Halloween October Fest (October 1st - 8th)

 

Normally I do book reviews but this year I wanted to add a blog of horror movies that I will be watching through the month of October and I will add my own star ratings of the movie along with a brief synopsis of my thoughts on each movie.  Also I will be doing a blog weekly until the last week of October. It might not be every night for a horror movie either - sometimes I will skip a night or so, but most part I will be watching something creepy all through the month. 

Some of them are movies that I own and some are movies I watched through either Netflix, Prime or IMDB. Also I might add some creepy true paranormal shows that I watched through Discovery+ as some of those are really scary. 

October 1st - 8th:

1) Final Destination (2000)-  own this one. 

My rating: 💀💀💀💀💀

Thoughts: 

Love this first movie! I felt for Alex with his premonition of his dream but I also felt for the other classmates on how scared they were to know that the dream that Alex had came true. Loved all the characters in this one too. I watch this movie every October too. Out of the whole franchise this first movie is the best in my opinion. 

I gave it five stars as the first time I watched it I really loved it and I think I watched it again right away. Premonitions are scary enough but when they come true like it did for Alex that drives the scare factor up more!

2) I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998) - watched on Prime. 

My rating: 💀💀💀

Thoughts:

This movie was okay - I felt that it was just "off" for some reason. Four friends that are in college go off on a weekend getaway to a place that they have no way of leaving the island. Though they don't know it till they get there that they are basically stuck there and of course like with any horror movie a "storm is brewing" and there will be no boats or any type of transport back to civilization. They are stuck in the muck it seems! lol  The hook fisherman is back for another romp against Julie and her new friends. Though when I first watched the movie years ago I had a feeling that something just wasn't right with "Will" so that was a surprise near the end of the movie to find out who he was related to. :) 

3) Jaws 3-D (1983) - watched on Netflix

My rating: 💀💀

Thoughts:

I have never seen this movie till now and it was okay - I wasn't really impressed with the movie. There were not a whole lot of shark action in this movie compared to the first two movies. I thought maybe there would be lots more going on for a third movie but it kind of fell flat for me. 

4) The Disappointments Room (2017) - watched on Prime.

My rating: 💀💀💀💀

Thoughts:

This was a creepy movie and I was surprised to find who all played in the movie too. I didn't know Kate Beckinsale was in this movie and then I was surprised to find Gerald McRainey in the movie too (I use to watch him on the tv show Simon & Simon back in the day). The movie centers around a manor that a young couple move into with their son and as time goes by Dana (Kate) is convinced the house is haunted as she has visions and nightmares of someone coming after her in her dreams. Her husband thinks she is crazy and needs to see a psychiatrist as he is not affected by anything in the house, but Dana's visions start bleeding into reality as the "someone" in her dreams starts haunting the manor. 

I found the movie to be very creepy and some of the movie critics gave the movie low blow ratings - but I would tend to think that the movie would be considered like one of those "B" movies we all use to watch growing up. I don't really go by movie critics as to me I feel that in their eyes if a movie is not a "blockbuster" then it isn't worth their time.  If a movie creeps me out then that is all I care about. So that is why I gave it four stars and I really liked the atmosphere of the haunting as to me it was suspenseful. 

5) Skipped this night as I wasn't home. :)

6) End of Days (1999) - watched on IMDB

My rating: 💀💀💀💀💀

Thoughts:

I actually use to own this movie but I had it on VHS of all things and never replaced it with a dvd. I was surprised to find this movie on the IMDB site as I was flipping through the movie site the other night and came across it. I haven't watched this movie in years. 

The movie is centered around a young woman that is suppose to be the bride of the devil. The Devil needs a vessel so he inhabits a man that is in a bathroom at a restaurant and then he goes on the hunt looking for a woman that is suppose to become his bride. While the Devil is on the hunt for the woman he blows up stuff all around the city causing chaos wherever he goes. An ex-cop becomes involved by the name of Jericho Cane (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) as he also tries to track down the young woman.  

There is a lot more detail about the movie but that would be considered spoilers so I am not going in further with drawing it all out. lol

You will just have to watch the movie or track it down somehow - if you subscribe to Prime then you should be able to watch IMDB through there as it is free for all Prime members. The movie is lengthy though as it clocks in over two hours long! So grab your popcorn and soda as it will be a long night! There are some scary graphics though so I wouldn't recommend letting young kids watch it - they might have nightmares for weeks!  

All in all I rated it five stars as I am just a "Arnold" buff (lol) and the movie has some major creep factors throughout the movie. I don't usually admit it because I consider myself a "hardcore horror" fan, but when I first watched this movie I left the lights on a couple of nights as it is that creepy. 

7) The Conjuring (2013) - watched on Netflix

My rating: 💀💀💀💀💀

Thoughts:

The first time I saw this movie it scared the "hoo-doo" out of me! What is "hoo-doo" you say? I don't know - just something I made up (LOL), but it sounds spooky, right? lol  

This movie has major creep/scare factors throughout the whole movie and no matter what anyone says about if the stories are true or not - I don't care about all that as it is a horror movie and haunted houses are just plain scary no matter if the stories are true or not. 

The story of the movie wraps around a house that is haunted and a family named the Perrons move into the house with their children back in 1971, but they end up having to endure a demonic haunting in the house which ends up being so bad that they reach out to Ed and Lorraine Warren to help them with the haunting. 

This movie is just downright creepy and watching it in the dark of the night doesn't help either - so keep a light on or two as the shadows of your room might be creeping toward you as you watch this movie. The movie is based off a book that is supposedly true which is "House of Darkness, House of Light" by Andrea Perron. The book is broken up into three volumes too which that would make for a lengthy read. I haven't read the book which maybe at some point I need to read considering I do read true ghost story stuff once in awhile. There are up and down ratings for the book too on Goodreads, but at some point I will get around to reading it. 

I rated it five stars because it is just one scary movie and anything that makes me leave a light on or two is going to get five stars. :)

8) The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) - watched on IMDB

My rating: 💀💀💀💀

Thoughts:

This is another scary movie that revolves around a young woman that becomes possessed by a demon. Though most of the movie is back and forth with a trial that takes place of a priest that is accused of killing the young woman while she was in the throes of demonic possession. Lawyers on both sides of the fence fight for the truth of what really happened and if the woman was really possessed or if she was just having psychotic episodes. 

All in all this movie has lots of scare factors and it is another one that is best left leaving a light on or two. The woman goes into full possession mode throughout the movie and there is lots of screaming here and there throughout the story. I had to keep turning it down a little bit as it kept scaring my cat! lol   

Just a funny thing for a moment - at one point in the movie the woman screams and I felt my cat jump up with a meow as she looked at me - probably saying "What the hell are you watching?! Turn that damn thing down as can't you see I am trying to sleep over here!" LOL

Seriously, she gave me that "look" - you all know what it is as I am sure you all have seen it with your pets! 

So I ended up keeping my fingers on the remote control just in case! lol 

Four stars for this movie as it is scary but has a lot of trial/lawyer stuff to go through too. 

So that wraps up my movie watching last week and I hope you all enjoyed my "Horror Movie" blog. I need to start working on this week's blog of horror movies as I already started over the weekend watching some creepy stuff! :)

Till next week - have a fun and filled Spooky Good Time!
