31 Day Horror Movie Challenge - Movie #4 - The Corridor

Image
When a group of childhood friends get together to help a friend spread the ashes of his deceased mother things take a supernatural turn when they stumble upon a mystic door that gives them unreal powers. As the supernatural presence increases in power so does the descent of the friends into complete madness. Although not a completely new concept of supernatural things in the woods it still proved to be an entertaining film. It had a Dreamcatchers vibe, if that gives you a better idea of the feel of the movie. The characters were believable the dialogue and concepts throughout moved at a good pace, with only a few parts that seemed to drag on a bit too much. The one thing that I was surprised about was there were some good moments of creepiness and suspense. I have to say I've watched several IFC Midnight films and I haven't been disappointed yet and this one is worth a view. This film is available on Hulu.

31 Horror Movie Challenge - Movie #3 - Cabin Fever Patient Zero

I had been wanting to see this movie for awhile large in part is because I'm a completest and I had watched the previous 2 and I figured I would finish out the series. Another reason was because various horror sites had touted this film as a bloody gory good time mess with some great scenes of carnage. Well after viewing this film you can't believe everything you read. This installment finds a group of friends on a bachelor party outing who charter a boat for fun at sea to which they detour to an isolated island which of course has a flesh eating virus in the water and horror clique insanity ensues. I feel the only way I can sum up this film is as if Wyatt and Gary from Weird Science went on a Scooby adventure where everyone has flesh eating virus and those people puke on your face. The characters were the typical cookie cutter horror clique of lead guy getting ready to get married to a girl that is way way out of his league, his nice friend, his douchebag friend and a slutty...

Elliott is a down and out guy, he is up to his neck in debt, his father's a racist, he just lost his job, he cares for his mentally handicapped brother and his fiance is pregnant. He is at his wits end with no way out. But, when he gets a mysterious phone call from a stranger asking him to participate in a game, Elliott thinks his luck might be changing. The premise of the game is that Elliott will be forced to complete 13 challenges, if he fails any challenge or informs anyone of this game he will lose the prize winning money, but if he completes all challenges then he will receive a very large sum of money that could end a lot of his troubles....but is it all worth it? I heard pretty good things about this movie so I had high hopes for it and thankfully it didn't disappoint. Granted the premise of a person being forced to their brink by competing hellish acts is nothing new, but this took it in a fresh new direction. The movie started bold and continued on with a fast and s...
