Horror Movie Review: Annabelle

Title: Annabelle Genre: Horror Director: John R. Leonetti IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3322940/ IMDB synopsis: A couple begins to experience terrifying supernatural occurrences involving a vintage doll shortly after their home is invaded by satanic cultists. By now you know that I am not the strongest of heart when it comes to watching horror movies, but I watch them anyway because apparently I’m an idiot. Also, I like to be scared. I started Annabelle waaaay early in the morning because I can’t stand possessed doll movies. In the 1970s, I was scared to DEATH of the Magic trailer because of that weird-looking ventriloquist doll. I rewatched that movie a couple of months ago and it’s still kinda scary. My list of scary movie dolls or doll type things: Poltergeist (That damn clown!) Child’s Play (Only the first one) Magic (see above) The Puppetmaster (Ugh, I got chills just typing that.) But I… Continued

Movie Review – Shrew's Nest

Title: Shrew’s Nest Genre: Horror, Thriller, Drama Director: Juanfer Andrés, Esteban Roel IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3417756/ Synopsis according to IMDB: Spain, 1950s. Montse’s agoraphobia keeps her locked in a sinister apartment in Madrid and her only link to reality is the little sister she lost her youth raising. But one day, a reckless young neighbor, Carlos, falls down the stairwell and drags himself to their door. Someone has entered the shrew’s nest… perhaps he’ll never leave. This little gem from Spain took me by surprise. As always, I started in the morning, so that any residual fright would wear off by the time I went to bed. Yes. I love horror movies, but I’m the world’s worst scaredy-cat. (One time I watched Jeeper Creepers 2 for the first time and went to bed. I kept expecting the Creeper to come out of my closet. And no, I’m not 12.) Anyhoo,

Movie Review: The Battery

Title: The Battery Genre: Horror: Zombies Director: Jeremy Gardner IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2272350/ In a land ravaged by the undead, Ben and Mickey must first learn to survive each other. It’s a zombie movie. Of course I’m going to watch it, either through my fingers or like a boss, but I’m going to watch it. I liked the movie poster. I’m still a fan of the baseball move to whack a zombie skull, so to see one of the characters holding a bat…I was pretty pleased. This is not your typical zombie movie with the characters hiding in an attic or basement, surviving on canned food and sniping at each other. Rather, this is an open movie: regaling us with the beauty of the New England countryside in summer while also reminding us of the danger that lurks around nearly every corner. The director, Jeremy Gardner, is also one of
