31 Days of Halloween 10/2

* Just a quick note-I would e wrote this last night but after I finished the movie my internet went out and after waiting for a couple hours to come on I gave up and went to bed...but the good news is the internet is working again....


Today's review is V/H/S.

Note-I will not be giving plot synopsis as in anthologies they do tend to give away most of the story



This movie came out with a lot of hype as supposed 2 people fainted when it was shown at the Sundance Film Festival 

Now this film is in the Found Footage genre of horror which took off after The Blair Witch Project came out...Now I have a love hate relationship with Found Footage movies as they have been beat into the ground with all 789 Paranormal Activity movies and the various cheap knock offs (Asylum I'm looking at you)

But then it is also a Anthology and I love me a good horror anthology and wish there were more of them...

As with most anthologies there are stories that are great and some that fall flat...

Tape 56- IS the wrap around tale which binds the story together...this one fell a bit flat for me I give 2 out of 5 stars

Amateur Night- Is a effective and somewhat creepy little tale..it has some nudity and major applause to Hannah Fierman as Lily who played the creepy yet pretty darn sexy girl well who has very little dialogue but whose one line "I like you" was creepy. I wanted to punch the living daylights out of Joe Sykes as Patrick who spent most of the story laughing in manor most irritating. I give this 4.5 out of 5

Second Honeymoon-One of the least effective stories in the bunch felt pretty rushed to me with a ending that came out of left field.. I give this one 2 out of 5 stars

Tuesday the 17th-cause you know if Friday was the 13th then the 17th would be Tuesday lol..Anyways this is your typical slasher in the woods tale with a couple little twists.. I liked it and Norma C. Quinones as Wendy is a hottie so I will give this one 3.5 out of 5 stars

The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger- This good  one was a bit of fun and a pretty good payoff in the end. Helen Rogers as Emily( who does good in her role by the way) and Liz Harvey have nice boobs so that earns this movie 1 star by themselves. over all I give this 5 out of 5 stars

10/31/98- The last tale in this collection- is one of the more mixed up ones as is it a haunted house story or is it about a cult and the ending umm ok...other then that it was enjoyable and the teddy bear/nanny cam costume is original.. I will give this 3 stars out of 5..

Over all this gets around a 3.33 out of 5 stars..I say check it out..

Until next time spiffy people

Peace, Love and A bowl of apple jacks!
