NECROMENTIA Inspired
by the work of Clive Barker, Necromentia tells the story of what happens when
you meddle with superstition and try to cross into another dimension using the
powers of an Ouija board. Hagan has a dead wife and believes he can bring her back
to life. Travis is a man who lost his brother and wants to join him in the
afterlife, and Morbius has been betrayed by those he loves and wants to come
back from the dead to take revenge. A
strange man only known as Mr Skinny protects the secrets of the powerful Ouija
board, as all cross the gateways of hell to fulfil their own purpose, facing
the hideous monstrosities that reside there as they go.
MIMESIS Written
and directed by Douglas Schulze. Starring Sid Haig, Courtney Gains, Jana
Thompson, Allen Maldondo, Lauren Mae Shafer, Taylor John Piedmonte, David G.B
Brown. What begins as a horror convention after-party for a group of fans will
quickly become a genuine flesh-and-blood nightmare: Trapped inside an isolated
farmhouse, they must now survive attacks by hordes of hungry zombies while
desperately attempting to escape. But is this gore-soaked siege a twisted
prank, an elaborate trap, or has NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD actually come to
undead life? Sid Haig (THE DEVIL'S REJECTS) and Courtney Gains (CHILDREN OF THE
CORN) star in this award-winning indie shocker from co-writer/director Douglas
Schulze that walks the razor-sharp line between edgy homage and depraved
reality... then proceeds to rip its guts out.
HUSK A horror DVD
released by After Dark. 2010 cert 18. 5060255690093. An indie movie. I'm
selling this on Amazon (solitarymaninblack). There are a few trailers for
Fertile Ground, Prowl, The Task. Those films remind me of Insidious, Saw, 30
Days Of Night, 28 Days Later. Signature Sent and G2pictures do release some
good horror films. Annabelle is in cinemas now. Cast are Devon Graye, Wes
Chatham, CJ Thomason, Tammin Sursok. Special features are just trailers. 80
mins run time. Looking at the case I was thinking of Jeepers Creepers. You
might want to see my other blog posts regarding films. A few friends are in a
car driving along the open road. All of a sudden they're attacked by crows.
Imagine The Birds, Resident Evil. They're now on a farm. There is Johnny,
Brian, Chris, Nat and Scotty. One of the gang has gone missing. There is a
farmhouse nearby. See the film, Scarecrow, Seventh Moon, Skinwalkers, The New
Daughter. I'm using the Blogger app. See the reviews. There is a supernatural
force hiding out in the corn fields. An unseen enemy like in Predator. Contains
strong violence and gore. A creepy atmosphere. Good production values. Often
these cast members are in tv shows. A slasher element to it too.
Meetupsometime.co.uk Suspense and twists galore. A good cast of actors. I
recommend this film.
SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD Sequel
to Diary Of The Dead. I'm sure I've seen it before. 505520189742 cert 18 horror
dvd Region 2. I'm selling this. A week after the zombies rose, a band of
soldiers are determined to survive. Stars Alan Van Sprang, Kenneth Welsh, Kathleen
Monroe, Devon Bostick, Richard Fitzpatrick, Athena Karkanis. Sarge is the
leader, he is narrating. You might like the Outpost trilogy. Plus a Dolph
Lungren zombie flick. The characters from the first film were featured. There
is an island called Plum, Delaware that the soldiers are headed for. Irish
Americans live there. Patrick O'Flynn is in charge. His daughter is among the
group. Expect gore and violence. Sheamus Muldoon is the leader of the rival
gang. Three weeks later in Philidelphia. A female soldier masturbates. She's
called Tomboy and is a lesbian. A couple of rednecks at campfire. A teen lad is
hooking up with the soldiers. Some satire/comedic moments. Sisqo is a spanish
soldier. Strange CGI effects. Great acting from the zombie cast. Worth checking
out.
EVIDENCE A found
footage/slasher movie starring Stephen Moyer and Radha Mitchell as detectives
investigating a massacre. Alex is a confident woman, in charge. Reece is
dishevelled, on leave but wants in on the case. Set in July 2012 in the Nevada
dessert. Torrey DeVitto, Caitlin Stasey, Harry Lennix, Dale Dickey, Svetlana
Metkina. The scene is pretty gruesome. From the makers of The Fourth Kind.
There's another film of the name that you should see. There is photo and video
footage that were taken by the victims. It was a bus travelling to Las Vegas
that crashed. There is an abandoned warehouse where a masked killer dwells. See
V/H/S, Tomorrow When The War Began. A group: singer Tyler, actress Leanne and
film maker Rachel, hot girls are shown first. Joined by Russian Imogen,
magician Steven. It's a private hire bus, the driver was in the Matrix films.
All to work in showbiz. The trailer was good. Nice special effects and acting.
Strong violence, language.

5035822505087. I'm selling this on Amazon tomorrow. Region 2 & 5. Bonus

Crash, Do The Right Thing, Bamboozled, Training Day, A Time To Kill, Die Hard

For some reason I assume Kerry was in a Saw film. Good dialogue, especially
from Able. Some nice strippers in a scene. Interesting scenery. Special
features are infact a making of segment, commentary, deleted scenes and
trailers.
UNKNOWN starring
Liam Neeson, Dianne Kruger, January Jones, Aiden Quinn, Bruno Ganz, Frank
Langella. StudioCanal/Dark Castle 2011. I do feel Liam might wind up getting
typecast. He has had a variety of roles. He is in Amongst The Tombstones in cinemas
now. You should see Non-Stop, Dark Man, The Lego Movie to name a few. Fans of
Taken will love this. It's described as 'Bourne meets Hitchcock'. Cert 15
5055201814227 plenty of special features. I saw the trailer a few weeks back.
Dr Martin Harris has flown in with his wife. They're on their way to a
biotechnology summit in Berlin. Similar Bourne trilogy, The Forgotten, Total
Recall, The Net, The 6th Day. A suitcase had been left behind at the airport.
Some problems at check-in at the hotel. The taxi driver is pretty as is the
wife. On the way back to the airport there is a car crash. He awakes in
hospital.
Having been in a coma and suffering some memory
loss. He must piece together what happened and why. It's an action thriller.
Sometimes I feel trailers, blurbs and reviews give too much away. There are
twists, violence, deceit, betrayal. His wife doesn't recognise him. He needs to
prove that he is who he says he is. Others see him as a mad man. There are a
group of assassins that want to keep him out of the way. There is the comedy
The Double that I'll see. Gina is an immigrant. Working as a taxi driver and
barmaid. A good cast of actors. I like the old east german spy that's helping
Martin. They would've got permission to film the stunt scenes on the streets of
Berlin. Very apt having Blue Monday on the soundtrack. Lots of clues. Martin
carries a book with him. I'm rooting for the guy. I think you ought to see
this. January Jones (Liz) was in X-Men First Class. Dianne Kruger (Gina) was in
The Host. Bruno Ganz was in Downfall. See wikipedia/imdb for more films and
full cast, crew names.
THE TOURIST 2010 Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Paul Bettany,
Timothy Dalton. A thriller with a hint of comedy, in Europe. The trailer looked
good with the Muse song Map Of The Problematique. Starlight is played during
the end credits. The bad guys seem to be poor at shooting. Great shots of
Venice and other locations. Like a Bond film. I'm selling this on Amazon. Elise
is a glamorous English woman. Constantly being followed by special services.
There is Reginald Shaw, played by Steven Berkoff. He was in an Indiana Jones
film. They're after man of mystery Alexander Pierce. The soundtrack isn't bad.
Some clever moments like piecing a burnt letter together to read the message.
Look at the discussions after seeing this. Cert 12 5055201812001. You might
like The Cold Light Of Day, The Two Faces Of January. Does reveal things too
soon. Frank is an American math teacher on holiday. He gets caught up in the
hoohah. Jolie's accent I'm not sure about. Did the accent in Tomb Raider. Nice
eyes but not attracted to her. Spyglass Entertainment. Fascinating having the
airport near water. The hospitality staff were very professional. Extras:
behind the scenes footage, outtakes, commentary, interview. Julian Fellows was
the screenwriter. Good insight into the making of the film. I hope you see this
dvd.
, After Earth, Tongan Ninja. On the screen of the MIB base there is
a clip of Lady Gaga amongst other alien suspects. Interesting time jump sequence. Nice 60s
costumes and theme. I liked the Griffin character. also this is the song that plays at the
party,
