I think Sinister was last night, It Follows is tonight's film I think. I was just late changing it lol.

I thought Scream 4 was last night's. :worry:

I have so many to review so I'm just gonna catch up in the week.

It Follows is so odd, i'm interested to see what people think.

going to watch the Sinister later and it follows when i wake up

I'm really confused about when exactly I fell behind a day, like I was sure Black Christmas was Saturday's movie and so on. :laugh:

It's not anyone's fault but mine for falling behind :laugh:

I didn't post Black Christmas on Friday night when it was meant to be posted - that's where it's gone wrong. Just get reviews in when you can, I'm sorry.

Oh okay I see! I'll definitely try to get Sinister and It Follows done before the next movie (and they're both movies I've wanted to watch for a while actually so this is a good excuse :laugh:).

I'll get both done also Cal. Don't worry about falling a day behind I'm sure everyone will catch up eventually <3

Sinister

rating - 7/10

Well i'm 50/50 with this film because it did bore me at times but it did make me jump. The videos where we saw families getting killed were quite creepy especially the lawn mower one. It had some good twists as i thought it was some monster that killed the families but it was the lost kids! I expected the boy to kill the recent family off because of his nightmares and that but i was shocked it was the girl. good film but it can be boring.

Night Eleven - Sinister

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...Poster2012.jpg

A brilliant modern horror in my opinion and probably the most frightening film I've watched so far from the list.

I do understand that the film could be perceived as being a little boring in parts but I loved the family dynamic we were show and Ellison's backstory and history with writing. The opening scene with the family hanging from the tree was chilling and set an eerie ambience right from the outset. I think the scary atmosphere also slowly built and was maintained throughout. Trevor's night terrors were unbelievably creepy and made me jump a lot. I think the family dynamic of the almost seemingly perfect family with a rich and famous dad and two well behaved children when really underneath the surface was a family who were separated from each other due to Ellison's almost obsession with writing another book was very intriguing.

The home videos though with the murders were the most chilling and sinister part of the film. The editor did a great job at making them look like a real home video and fit the time frame they were meant to. Particularly the lawn mower killings terrified the living day lights out of me! The figure in the film was also really creepy but I do think that the killer glaring up at Ellison from the picture on his laptop when he made the phone call was cliche and cheesy.

Another rather big flaw I think is I do think there's a lack of content into the film to review about there's not much you can go over really...

The ending though was brilliant. The director and writers lead you into believing that Vincent would be the evil one all along until we saw Ashley and the demon girl in her room. The 'extended cut' endings with the children holding their fingers to their mouths were so memorable and chilling and a great final twist to the film. The daughters final scene while she filmed her parents death before writing out a tape and adding to the box of home videos was a great way to end the film. The very last piece of the film were the killer jumps out at the camera is too cliche for my liking and I think the film would've had a much better ending had it just ended on the box of home videos.

Overall - 8/10

The lack of content and the cliche parts bring it down a couple of marks but it's still a great modern horror movie.

I'll watch It Follows soon. :)

Thank you for your continued reviews everyone. I will be reviewing It Follows and Sinister soon.

Watching It Follows now, had issues with a stream for this one, sorry for the delay. :laugh:

Sinister - 5/10
I much prefer the second Sinister movie, I almost fell asleep during the first one. Interesting concept, good acting and a "sinister" vibe, but failed to deliver, quite dull.

It Follows - 4/10
Started off quite good but ended up being another crap teen horror, could have been a good film if they had done it right

The Babadook - 4/10
The storyline was interesting but I couldn't get over how annoying the main actress and her son was. Once again it could have been a good movie if done right, but the actors were badly miscast imo. Dull movie.

I'll watch The Babadook now. :)

Gonna catch up tomorrow.

Night Twelve - It Follows

http://www.mattsmoviereviews.net/Ima...wsposter01.jpg

Even though the film is unique and creative and does contain some great moments I don't think it is worthy of its critical acclaim it has received. The opening scene is intriguing to the viewer and draws the viewers interest. The girls leg snapped backwards on the beach was so gory and disturbing, it left me drawn in from the start. It's eerie atmosphere maintained for the first ten/twenty minutes. Hugh 'seeing' a girl in the cinema who Jay didn't see left me intrigued and wanting to know more.

I do think the film has very large moments of being very boring though however. There are some scenes which last maybe as long as five minutes were no dialogue is used or there is not much movement or much going in terms of development (e.g. Jay in the hospital after her crash). It does lead a creepy atmosphere definitely the moments of silence but I do think they happened way too frequently and became annoying and left me thinking that actually a lot of parts in the film were very tedious.

The acting in the film was excellent though, considering the film was made on such a small and basic budget. Maika Monroe was fantastic and one of the best actresses I've seen in a modern horror. The scene where Jay was drugged with chloroform and tied to the wheelchair Maika was brilliantly convincing at portraying someone genuinely terrified and I think she maintained this high level of excellence throughout.

I do think the plot had the potential to be really good but I do think it did fall a little flat at times. I think the ending was very anticlimactic for the film. It didn't need to have like a movie chase scene or anything but I just don't think it felt like an ending somehow because it was a little dull. I do think the plot is clever and interesting and well thought out but I do think they could've done more with it.

Overall - 5/10

An okay but very forgettable film.
