House of Fears (2007)
Are there any good horror films anymore?
I've seen some decent, gory sickening cringe worthy horror films. This was not one of them.
I never heard of this movie before seeing it last night on netflicks. Now sometimes, some movies skip over the theater release due to grapic scenes directors are unwilling to cut. And some skip the theater release due to being completely a waste of time. This movie was the later.
From the very beginning you know exactly what's going to happen. As soon as they enter the haunted house you know Zane will be the first to die. Side note: a movie involving a evil spirited African statue? From watching far to much scooby-doo the first thing i'd do is break that thing. problem solved. no death.
This movie is the exact same as all the rest. A group of teenaged, sex driven individuals, who think it would be a good idea to go to an unopened haunted house, with a security guard MIA, seeing creepy things.
Spoiler
the ending? really? the only two that survive are the step sister who hate each other? yawn.
Staunton Hill (2009)
What the heck????
I tried really hard to like this movie. It has more holes than a golf course. I have no idea what even happened to buddy at the end, or any of the other characters that weren't killed "on-screen." (all the guys.) Who was that little girl in the beginning? the daughter of the mechanic? related to Quinton and his physco killing family? It's a slow starting film, boring at times, i kept it on in hopes it would get better....it didn't. Some scence were cringe worthy. Lots of blood but what horror movie doesn't have that? I don't understand why the hitch hikers didn't just walk back to the junk yard after the car broke down down less than 10 mins away. why spend half a day walking through the woods? That makes no sense. The acting was decent, better than most horror movies. BTW isn't Cole the "hunk" from that Britney spears song? I'm sure he is. Horrible movie. I wish i could erase it from my memory and get back my Sunday night.
