HOUSEBOUND
Excellent New Zealand
horror/mystery full of twists and turns and a plucky heroine – I really dug the
relationship between her and her mother.
All this and an exploding head too! A total win in every way (story, pacing, characters,
acting).
V/H/S VIRAL
The third V/H/S film is much better than the
second but not as good as the first. The first vignette about an evil magician and
his cape would make a great movie by itself.
The second vignette is also excellent (and pretty nasty). Third story is well-shot but goes nowhere at
the end. Wraparound story sucks.
THE CANAL
Another haunted house film
that borrows from a lot of sources everything from INSIDIOUS to THE RING to
DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK. The
resulting mish mash is scary at times if predictable. Entertaining nonetheless.
THE HOUSES OCTOBER BUILT
Found footage film that does a good job
building the tension through the first hour + (very creepy) and also
establishing the characters unfortunately it is all downhill from there as the
ending is rushed and not scary and disappointing.
