Top Horror Films of 2009

Posted December 23, 2009 at 4:27 pm by Jeff

1. Drag Me To Hell
A loan officer fighting for a promotion at her job decides to deny a very desperate elderly woman an extension on her mortgage and all hell breaks lose. The elderly woman curses her to hell. A highly entertaining and original film. Director Sam Raimi goes old school with a compilation of what he does best in horror films.

2. Paranormal Activity
Compared to the Blair Witch Project Paranormal Activity was a complete shock. The movie presents a new cute couple living in a starter home. They experience noises and decide to film it. They soon experience terrifying results. Seeing this movie in theaters is the only way to live the real horror. This is the most terrifying movie I’ve seen in years.

3. Trick R Treat
This movie had been floating around for a very long time and eventually went straight to DVD. The movie was full of several short stories all running together to produce a very scary film. The acting and stories are all amazing. This one had to make it to the top.

4. Zombieland
Who would have thought this movie would have been as successful as it was. The hit exhibits a group of survivors of the zombie apocalypse heading across the country each in a different destination. This movie was perfect. The movie was hilarious but at the same time left for some actual terrifying moments.

5. The Collector
The Collector starts and never looks back. This 88 minute film plays like a short film. The hero is actually a criminal, a gentle criminal but hey aren’t they all. This movie wasn’t marketed much at all but was a real genuinely original horror film.

Paranormal Activity is SCARY!!!

Posted November 2, 2009 at 8:09 pm by Jeff

Paranormal Activity is scary as hell!! I went to see this a few weeks back and I wanted to post my thoughts on the movie.

I  couldn’t believe how this movie built up slowly and each time adding to the horror. It wasn’t a traditional blood and gore film but a subtle scary film. It keeps building and building right up to the very end.Its done very very well considering it was made in a week with $11,000.

The premise of the movie isn’t at all orignal, it was done by the blair witch project in 1999. The one difference from this movie and that one is they don’t try to hide the fact this is just a movie, they just go straight for the scare.

If you want to be scared watch this movie in theaters. Be prepared to be scared.

Zombie Films have still got it

Posted August 29, 2009 at 1:57 am by Jeff

It’s 3 in the morning and I’m sitting here watching Diary Of The Dead. I must say George Romero and more so Zombie films in general still have “IT”. It isn’t just one thing. They have several factors that make “IT”. They still after all of these years have the ability to scare the “hell” out of us.

When There is No More Room In Hell The Dead Will Walk The Earth

Zombie films have an ability to make people scared. Unlike other horror films Zombie films give you that what if feeling. The feeling that all of this is just a second away from happening… or even worse, it already is happening. They unlike any other horror film reflect society in a very clever introspective way and that I believe makes everything that much more real and scary

Looking In The Mirror

Romero loves to point out society and its good and bad characteristics in his films. In Night of The Living Dead Romero focuses on the racism and patriarchy all over America. In Dawn of the Dead Romero focused more on Consumerism and Capitalism. Romero isn’t the only writer and director who focues on including these reflections into zombie films. its been a common practice among films lately.

Don’t Be Afraid To Run

Zombies are real people. This is what makes it that much more horrifying. Zombies don’t eat flesh out of an evil animosity towards the living but out of an innate hunger. The zombies try to continue on their roles by doing it is they were used to doing all the time. It is what draws us to the zombie film.

All I know for sure is Zombies are scary as hell.

Drag Me To Hell Update!!

Posted July 13, 2009 at 11:01 am by Jeff

I never posted what I thought about Drag Me To Hell.. Well I will say I was not disappointed. It was great from the start to the end. It was a little more commercial than the Evil Dead trilogy but for this movie it worked. When the movie started reaching its climax it was very much in the form of Sam Raimi. I think the acting was perfect. Christine Brown does an amazing job making her character seem real. I think this movie is a buyer for sure.

The Unborn

Posted July 13, 2009 at 10:48 am by Jeff

I want to start by saying The Unborn wasn’t half bad. I think this has something to do with hearing from everyone that it sucked. I think the low expectations made me realize it was actual at some points scary and suspenseful. That being said I found the movie at points very formulaic.  It wasn’t the most original, but you can’t expect these types of movies to be. Overall I would say the acting was decent but contrived during certain scenes. The plot seemed to die towards the middle but started back up during the exorcism. I would give the movie 3 stars out of 5.

A Real Zombie Coverup in America

Posted May 16, 2009 at 11:57 pm by Jeff

I wanted to write about an amazing story. This story may or may not be true.  The story was taken off an internet forum. I understand what you are thinking….. an internet forum, come on man. The truth is this story is likely not to be true but in my gut I want to let you guys decide.  Below is the actual story word for word.

“This is the story about my encounter with a “zombie”. I put zombie in quotations only because I’m assuming that that is what I saw that day. And, I do mean zombie as in “George Romero zombie”. That is, a corpse that has come to life with a hunger for human flesh. I know it sounds crazy and I bet your saying to yourself, “Wow, this guy is a case” and “What!? Zombies aren’t real! This is some fake shit right here!” Those are logical reactions, I know. But, if what I saw that day wasn’t a zombie, then I don’t know what else it could have been.

Back in August of 2003, I was living in Houston,Texas. I had a friend who had, a week before, been in a pretty crazy car accident. He was holed up at St. Joe’s medical facility and I had been coming to see him regularly throughout the week. There was nothing strange about this hospital. It’s about what one would expect when it comes to a hospital. But that day something odd was going on. I had weird vibes all around me as soon as i got out of my car.

There were two Army trucks parked near the main entrance. One was a classic Humvee, while the other was one of those large transport trucks. They were both backed into the parking spaces, their engines were idling, and they were both occupied by drivers as if they would be ready to launch from the parking spaces at any moment. As I walked passed the two trucks, I noticed a lot of “official” looking people, like feds or something, hanging out outside the main entry. A few were talking on cell phones while others were smoking cigarettes and/or looking menacing.

I continued to walk through this strange sight with the strangest feeling of being watched. The doors slid open for me and I continued on through the lobby passing the front desk. One of the ladies behind the desk told me that I couldn’t go into the south hall of level 2. My friend was located in the north hall in room 222.

After my encounter with the lady at the front desk, I turned toward the elevator doors located half way down the hallway. I remember thinking to myself, “So I couldn’t be in the south hall? What? Why did they stop me like that? ” This was my fourth time to visit my friend and both times before had been smooth sailing up to his room.

Anyway, so I got to the elevator and got in. Just before the door shut, one of those “official” guys ran up to keep the door from shutting. Five more of those guys joined me on the elevator. I moved myself to the corner and found myself quite nervous of them. One of them had asked me which floor I was headed to and he pushed the button. It seemed like the longest elevator ride of my life. These guys were silent towers hovering over me. Finally, the door opened and they exited left. I exited right. I continued on to my friends room and looked back just in time to see them turn a corner.

I got to my friends room and told him about the weird things going on. He agreed that it had been a strange day for him as well. Apparently, that morning, one of the nurses had left the door to his room open after checking on him. At one point, he heard someone yell, “Come here!” and then a group of “official looking” guys came running down the hall passing his room almost knocking over some poor nurse who happened to be walking by at the same time. An hour later after that he said that one of those men came into his room and looked around for about five minutes without saying a word. About ten minutes later, one of the nurses came in and told him that there was a possibility that they would have to move him to another floor in a different room. When asked why, she told him that there was some sort of “renovation problem”. Whatever that means, right?

After hanging out for a bit, I decided to leave. When I got back to the elevator I suddenly had a moment of curiosity. So I kept walking. I headed in the same direction those guys went after I got off the elevator on the way up. As I got closer to the corner, the one I saw them go around, I heard some sort of commotion going on. I remember thinking that I probably shouldn’t be going down here. I wish to this day that I had stopped and went back. But I kept going.

I remember turning the corner and everything seeming to go in slow motion. I had stopped in my tracks, eyes wide, jaw dropped because I couldn’t believe what i was seeing. There in front of me, maybe about four doors down, on the floor was a patient, whose back was turned to me, hunched over the body of another man who was lying on his back in a pool of blood. Circling around these two figures on the floor, were three “officials” steadily and carefully keeping there distance. They didn’t notice me standing there until my cell phone went off. I snapped out of it and looked down at my pant pocket. I looked up. Not only were the “officials” staring at me, but so was the person who had been hunched over the bloody body. I’ll never forget what that “person” looked like. It’s eyes were colorless…black almost. It’s pale face looked tired and worn. In it’s mouth was a fleshy piece of human, bloody and dripping. I peed my pants.

One of the men yelled for me to leave. I stood there motionless, until, from behind two men grabbed me. They pulled me backwards away from that frightening scene and dragged me back to the elevator.

One of them told me to go home as they shoved me into the elevator.

Just as the door shut, one of them pulled out a walkie-talkie device and shouted into it, “Shut this floor down!”

I remember sitting down on the floor of the elevator replaying what just happened over and over. All I could think about was it’s face. It’s cold, dead eyes staring at me. I didn’t even realize that the elevator had moved it’s way down to level one. The doors slid open and more of those official guys were there. They picked me up to my feet and escorted me to the door. I remember one of the men telling me to have a good day! Ha, can you believe that?!

As I got into my car, four unmarked white minivans came rushing towards the entrance. Needless to say, I left there in a bit of a hurry. I wasn’t about to stick around. As I drove away from the parking lot, a fire truck whizzed by me. Pulling out my cell phone, I realized I had a missed call from my friend in the hospital. I called him.

I asked him if everything was alright and if he could see or hear anything. The door to his room was shut but he could hear some yelling and commotion. I almost told him what I had seen but I stopped because I had realized that he wouldn’t believe what I had seen. No one would. The “officials” probably knew that. If I was the only “civilian” witness to this they could let me go with no problem. No one would believe what I had seen. That’s why they didn’t try to “debrief” me. That’s why they just sent me on my way. Nothing here to see. Keep moving.

Later, that night I watched the local news and national news to see if anybody would report the story. It never came. What did come was much more damning. Yet, it didn’t surprise me at all. The story the authorities released to the media had something to do with some poor doc who got his head sliced off by a malfunctioning elevator! Here’s the archived story from CNN.

Editors Note: It appears the story was on cnn originally but is no longer on the site, I did however search and found a ton of sites about this accident. Here are just a few.

http://www.click2houston.com/news/2412223/detail.html

http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/elevator.asp

A couple days after the incident, I went to visit my friend again. I remember the feeling I had as I returned and walked through the hospital doors. This time there were no “officials” around. The lady at the front desk told me that the second floor was closed for “renovations” and that my friend had been moved to a different room on a different floor. When I found him, I told him about the zombie. Of course, he didn’t believe me. I kept going on and on about it until I realized that I was making him uncomfortable, so I just dropped it. Before I left the hospital that day, I stopped by the front desk and talked to the two ladies there. I had told them that I had heard about the “incident” in the news and that I was sorry. I then asked if they had known the doctor who got his head sliced off. They said they didn’t. They said they didn’t even know the elevator was screwed up because people used it all day long that day.

and that’s my story. what do you think? other than “uh, dude, your crazy.”.”

I want to put my two cents on the story. The timeline from when he wrote this to when it was first published works out perfectly. The writer is obviously believing of the story. I understand that by putting these links up online it can potentially bring back bad memories for the family, I just want to know what really happened. One of the articles about this did mention the official cause of death was blunt force head trauma. It seems very very odd to me. From everything I have read on this it could seriously be one of the first real cases I’ve heard of a Zombie Coverup in the United States of America or it could be a hoax but at least we are putting the information out there for everyone.

For The Dead Travel Fast, And The Dead-er Travel Fastest

Posted April 28, 2009 at 9:34 pm by Nolan

This is the first post I’ve made. In light of the Swine flu as jeff posted about just awhile ago – i thought i would post a Zombie Survival plan (there are many i know). It is extremely hard to come up with one since all we have to go by is movies – I’m sure WHEN it happens we will get some un-pleasant surprises knocking on our “zombie proof” doors.

Personally my plan consists of as many people as i can get, Friends mainly who have already signed off on the idea. The first few days of the outbreak I’m sure there will be very many casualties just from looting, panic, and etc. We will find a good place to take refuge big enough for the count of people we have with us (hopefully around 15). Transportation by car will most likely not be any kind of viable option due to the large sea of cars im sure will be trying to evacuate and go somewhere else (a lot of good that will do). So we will be left with Bicycles, Motorcycles, or good old Hoofing it out (not without trusty blunt objects). For the first few days, only venturing out to find enough food for a few more days, maybe weeks. Making sure that we go as un noticed as possible in a panicked world. After a long week of gathering food and trying to stay entertained enough for the time spent where we were.  Once some of the area calmed down (via hiding, Dying, Turning, etc) venture out to find some more food for a longer period, some weapons preferably high caliber rifles, Shotguns, Etc.

After that had been accomplished, stashing the supplies somewhere “safe” (i use that term loosely) then we would move on to finding good transportation to a good area that can be defended. I have thought about it, and a lot of movies touch on zombie vehicles. My choice would be an Armored car with a grille/plow fronted on it, also with some way of filling the diesel tanks from the inside. Putting  hatches on top as well. This is my choice for a few reasons:

1. Its a very heavy vehicle so that means it will keep momentum when crashing through other cars (hence the plow/grille).

2. its armored, Duh

3. Putting a way to fuel from the inside will allow more time NOT spent out in the open.

The downside to these would be they wouldn’t carry a whole lot of people so more than one would be needed.

Once the transportation has been procured and modified to suit our needs, we would venture out to find a medium sized vertical building that was on the outskirts of wherever we were, not very wide. Something about 7-10 Floors preferably, and something that was an office building so it would hopefully not be full of people (like an apartment building would be). We’d attempt to find a way to the roof (using the supplies gathered Earlier) that way we could clear the building (with weapons also gathered earlier) of any one that’s been turned, or anyone that is still un-infected that wants to help, or remain the way they are… not a zombie. Working from the top most floor, not sparing any cabinet or Room to be checked (we all know what happens when you have something come up behind you if you forgot to check that one door). When getting to the ground floor, Make sure to check everywhere, disabling the Elevators if applicable and the power is even still on. Locking all doors down, Preferably Welding them shut if that can be accomplished. Leaving will be done through a window near the ground floor (maybe FL1, or FL2) and repel on to the top of the Armored Car (glad we made those Hatches earlier). After clearing the building, and locking down. the ground floor would never be used, except for storage of things other than food (mainly Fuel for the armored vehicles) in and the stairs would be heavily blocked off in an effort to make it that much harder for anyone/thing to get in when they are not welcomed.

If there is still power on, what would happen is to start finding abbandoned houses and taking their refridgerator’s, and Deep freezes, As well as finding as many ice chests as possible to store food that is perishible (seeing as we’re only about a week in, Things shouldnt be going down hill so fast, but then again like i said.. how do we know). Non-Perishible food such as canned Anything would be another must find. If you think about it, it would be just like a strategy game (go figure). You take your central point – all efforts would then be to keep that point, and stock it with supplies to make life easier and keep you alive. After the building had been taken and secured so we were the only ones there, then there would be very little who would be able to leave. Just the Gathering parties to reduce the risk of losing anyone of course.

During the gathering, one prime object of interest would be Soil, Seeds, and planting materials. The roof of the building would become a garden for fresh produce (asuming that you couldnt be infected by such). there would be a few greenhouses after we were established there to make sure that the plants had adequate protection against the elements (much like we would have our building to do so for us)

As for defences, on every gathering party we went out/sent out, it would be a big point to always bring back some type of ammunition or weaponry. There would always be a shift of a few people awake, just as a precaution. If enough people joined, idealy there would be more that 5 awake at a time, a few on the roof and a few in the building on the last floor that was used. Once everything was set, survival would be the name of the game. It would not be easy by any means of course, but at that point it wouldnt be “making a living” or “livin the good life”, it would be just as i said, Surving.

If anyone had reletives, Friends, or Significant others that were reasonably close – there would be a small group that would go on a retrieving mission to bring them back if possible. (hopfully they would have been informed before the outbreak that if something were to happen what to do, and that they would be come back for around a weeks time).

my plan is not the only, and will grow as i hear/see more efficient things to do and add to the plan. Of course all of the plan is subject to change based on situations. I mean, most of everyone’s plans would be shot to hell (no pun intended) if zombies turned up breathing fire, or spitting acid, or being genius’s that could fly F-18′s and shoot back. but the point is, at least i have thought about it. other people are in on the idea and i appreciate it. if you’re down with the idea, feel free to email me and let me know. Also if you have your own idea’s feel free to email as well – i’d love to hear them and know that i might have help in other places if need be.

Until next time, check for bites nightly!

H2: Halloween 2

Posted April 28, 2009 at 3:57 pm by Jeff

Rob Zombie is in post production of his film H2. I have to admit I am very very excited. Walking out of the theatre after the first movie, I felt let down. I decided to see it again and I realized that this movie is great. What’s the point of watching the same movie we all know and love.

It was a re-imagining. This is how I feel about the second movie. I am a huge dork when it comes to Halloween and Myers theories but I really liked the first movie and I think I am going to really like the second movie. A lot of people are not used to the way Rob Zombie films are made, but in my opinion its a very raw awesome style that makes them so good.

If you didn’t like the first movie I have this to say. Rob, himself, said that he wasn’t satisfied with the movie. He wanted to make it two movies, but the studio wouldn’t approve that. I think given the circumstances this movie is even more legendary then the originals. I am positive I will get a ton of comments calling me crazy. I don’t care. I’ll just wait and see on August 28th.
