Horror Caviar

When a paranormal investigation team is sent to investigate strange events occuring in an apartment they are forced to determine whether the disturbances are really coming from a supernatural source.  This is another entry into the found footage sub genre. I appreciate the fact that they didn't use the shaky camera approach to the filming of this movie. As far these types of movies go this wasn't particularly bad or good it was just middle of the road. It had a couple of nice moments, but overall it was just a typical supernatural found footage style movie. Some of the conclusions made in the movie really didn't fit the events that were happening, which did bug me through the film. As a movie to past the time it fit the bill and beyond that it wasn't anything special.

Altered - When childhood friends are abducted and tortured by aliens they spend the next several years trying to capture one to exact revenge. But, when they finally capture one it doesn't go as planned. Eduardo Sanchez, who directed The Blair Witch Project brings this horror alien sci fi flick to life. Since my previous run of Netflix horror movies had been less than stellar my expectations were rather low. I have to say I really enjoyed this movie. It has a great cast with a nice mixture of horror, gore, humor and suspense. The special effects especially for the alien creature were quite good and gave the horror movie an overall great feel to it. This is one movie you will be welcomed to be Altered.

Hypothermia - While doing some ice fishing at their family cabin, Ray Pelletier (Michael Rooker) mistakenly falls through the ice, although unharmed he awakens something beneath the ice that is out for blood. This is another Netflix gem even with a running time of an hour and 12 minutes the pace of the movie makes it feel a lot longer. Even though it's categorized as horror it takes awhile for anything "horror" to really happen and when it does you kinda wish it hadn't. I watched it basically for Michael Rooker who gives a fine performance everyone else not so much. I think I would have rather seen Rooker ice fish through the whole movie and talk about his horror movie moments then to sit through this frozen fish of a film.

Dracula - You can't do a challenge like this without going back to old school horror and I go way back with Dracula. What can you say about this classic film that hasn't already been said. It is a horror movie that spawned one of the most recognizable horror icons in history and Lugosi plays him brillantly. Based off the Bram Stoker classic book, Dracula leaves Transylvania and heads to London in search of new blood and encounters an unlikely foe in Van Hesling, who himself becomes a fixture in the horror world. Even with the over the top acting, limited special effects and lack of haunting music this film is still a classic you can sink your teeth into!

Crowsnest - When a group of friends decide to have a getaway weekend things turn horror filled when they end up being terrorized by unknown assailants in an RV. I found this little gem (yes, that was sarcasm) on Netflix so my expectations were not that high. This movie ends up being a prime example of how the found footage sub genre has finally run it's course. This film is filled with so many horror cliques I lost count and the acting is terrible and cheeseball...even for a horror movie. This cast is so beyond annoying that you won't be able to wait for them to meet their demise....which sadly is lamer than this entire movie. Crowsnest is a hot mess from beginning to end and everywhere in between! I'll also be doing a 30 Day Horror Movie Challenge on Instagram and I have already answered Question #1

It's getting close to that time of year......Halloween season! What better way to celebrate the month of horror than with the 31 Day Horror Movie Challenge.

I am also going to answer the challenge questions below and will post my answers on Instagram , you can follow me by clicking on the link. I encourage everyone to try this and even if you can't complete all the days some participation is better than none. If you need horror movie suggestions you are welcome to hit...

13 Reasons It's Awesome to be a Horror Fan In celebration of Friday the 13th and the Halloween season I thought I would share 13 reasons why I think it's awesome to be a horror fan. Plus Dr. Lector also thinks if I start making lists it will help channel my "creativity" in a more postitive direction. 1.  We have an entire month dedicated to us  - I know being a horror fan is a lifestyle and not just about celebrating it for 31 days, but it is still fun to have an entire month pretty much catered to us. Any store you go into during the month of October has some kind of horror element to it. You can go to Walgreens pick up your prescription and grab a giant spider for your lawn or cobwebs to hang in your house. Other holidays give you a week max to buy their stuff, but with horror and Halloween you can count the entire month of October and even the month before it and several days after Halloween that is still devoted to all things horror. Then you have the horro...
