My Review:
I wanted to check out this movie for a few different reasons. One of them was Elizabeth Olsen, the babysister to the famous Olsen twins! Was curious to see how she did on the big screen. And i actually like what she did with it. Very good job! For the movie, a psychological horror movie. With a few good scare moments in it aswell. I like what they did with it (and that its based on a true story) i like true stories. And even though there wasnt "very muh scare moments" trough out the movie, they have made the movie that stuff sits with you trough out the movie. Its a very scary movie in many ways. And very strong psychological movie. A movie that i would recommand horrorfans to watch! I really enjoyed what they have done with it. And i'm looking forward to check out more of Liz's Olsen work!

I also liked Urban Legend: Bloody Mary... which is part 3... but they focus on telling the story of a single urban legend... I wish this would have started a line of films doing it this way... but seems this is the only one...


Urban Legends: Bloody Mary
From the Director of Pet Sematary, the terrifying Urban Legend trilogy comes full circle with URBAN LEGENDS: BLOODY MARY, delivering hair-raising scares in the tradition of The Grudge and The Ring.

On a Homecoming Night dare, a trio of high-school friends chant an incantation, unleashing an evil spirit from the past with deadly consequences. That same night, the girls are abducted by a gang of high-school jocks. Once rescued, their tormentors receive their just desserts, dying one by one in a chain reaction of gruesome murders, each with a bizarre "Urban Legend" twist. Is it all just a high-school prank taken to grisly extremes – or has "Bloody Mary" returned from the grave to wreak her own vengeance?

My Review:
So after a few people said this was a good one, i decided that it would be my first movie for the day. And the movie started of strong and kept its pace for the most part. But it was slow at some parts too, but it kept my interest in it. The story was allright, and i like what they did with it. The lead actress in the movie did a great job too. It is a very strong psychological horror movie, with a few really good moments trough out the movie. A movie that had me interested trough out the movie, with an interesting ending too! A spanish horror movie. Its something with me and spanish horror movies. I just love a good spanish horror movie! And this is another good one. One that i would recommand you guys to check out!  :)

My Review:
Well, i dont know what to say about this one. I think i had my expactations up a bit too high after watching the trailer. The movie started off ok, and the story was interesting enough. But, for a horror movie, the scare scenes wasnt there enough for me. There was a few good scare scenes, but not enough to be a real good horror movie. They could have done much more with the crazy roommate. All in all, an allright story wich could have been even better if they did a bit more of it. And the leads did an ok job too. But for the avid horrorfan. I wouldnt recommand it really. It was ok, but thats it i think.

Try to check for the original who is an excellent thriller (and not an horror film, I sure don't get why it was marketed as one...) with Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

Single White Female (1992)

My Review:
A bit different horror movie than i've seen so far this marathon. It starts of right of the bat strong, with a few people going over to Ireland to get the best shrooms. And it doesnt take long before weird things start to happen with one of the people in the crew. Stuff that only that one person can see and hear. Some kind of dreams. And the movie have a steady pace trough out the movie. A few good moments in the movie aswell. Could have been a few more IMO. I liked what they have done with it tho, thinking about that hadnt much to go with. And ok story, and ok acting by some. And with an awesome ending too! I didnt see that coming anyways. A movie i recommand you to watch

My Review:
I actually liked this one quite a bit. Prolly not many will agree with me on this. But i found the movie very good actually. The story is a bit different of course than the original. But i think they did a good job with the story here. And the movie starts of very fast, and keeps a fast pace the whole movie out. From start to finish. A lot of good moments in this one aswell. And i loved how they did it with the story this time around. And i love how they started of with the movie, and then some things happend in the middle of the movie (wich was great) and he ending. Wow! I dont know if we have seen the last of Jason yet! Not just yet maby. I havent seen all the "Friday 13th" movies. But those i've seen i really enjoyed! Nothing can beat the original of course. But i do welcome this addition. For me, i would highly recommand this one if you like the "Friday 13th" saga.
I'm sure that Jim will dissagree with me on this one  :-[

My Review:
Ok, i just got to get two things off my chest. WHAT A CREEPY movie WITH CREEPY DOLLS! I hate dolls! Specially the creepy ones. (so of course, that makes for a good horror movie) This movie was almost a blind buy. I didnt expect much from it really. I think the story was ok. (i dont know if "Mary Shaw and those dolls are real or not) I liked where they were heading with the movie, and the idea of it. A lot of creepy moments with the dolls! And a not a boring moment either IMO. A movie that had me kinda jump from my couch. God i hated those dolls! And yeah, they did alot with less. I liked what they did with this one, and i really like what they did with the ending of the movie. A good horror movie that i would highly recommand. But if you dont like dolls, beware!

My Review:
This was a movie i was looking forward to watch. Heard alot of great things about it. And finally i got around to it. And what a movie it was! It started of with the Maniac Cop going wild right of the bat. And the chase is on. But somehow noone know who he is, and he's always a step in front of them. So the city is on the hunt on a maniac cop, that killing for the fun of it. I really liked what they have done with the story with this one. And the visual efects, makeup and the music just made it perfect. A great peace of a horror flick. Can i go so far as saying, a classic maby?
There was a few things i didnt like tho. The acting some places could have been better.
But i really enjoyed this one! And there was a nice twist aswell in it. Wich is always good. A really good horror movie, that i highly recommand! I hoped i would get in a few movies today.. But it looks like it will be a real slow day :\ Hopefully i will get in one more today.
