last weekend, i went on a horror flick binge. out of the 5 movies i’ve watched, i would only recommend one. sadly, it’s a 29 year old film. we are in dire need of a new stanley kubrick.
the uninvited – 2 out of 5 stars
interesting movie but with a bandwagon ending. hmmm, i’ve read somewhere that it is actually a remake of an asian horror film – the tale of two sisters.
dog soldiers – 2 out of 5 stars
i had high expectations of this movie since it was directed by neil marshal of “the descent”. but i’m a bit disappointed. the lack of budget is very glaring and the scare factor is way below “the descent”.
the haunting of molley hartley – 2 out of 5 stars
a very unoriginal mediocre effort, full of clichés... haley bennett is an eye-candy though...
the gravedancers – 3 out of 5 stars
the movie had its moments… i jumped out of the seat a couple of times. but still, a forgettable experience.
the shining – 5 out of 5 stars
kubrick’s 1980 classic proves that well-made films stand the test of time. it is still scary as hell. first-rate cast, hitchcock style pacing and musical score, and inventive camera shots put this film as one of the all-time greats in the horror movie genre.
