Horror Movie Review – Hell House, LLC
Title: Hell House, LLC (2015) Synopsis:Five years after an unexplained malfunction causes the death of 15 tour-goers and staff on the opening night of a Halloween haunted house tour, a documentary crew travels back to the scene of the tragedy to find out what really happened. (from imdb.com) Genre: Horror, Thriller Opinion Well, well, well. The found footage genre isn’t completely dead. If you’re a friend of mine on social media, you should well know I’ve never met a found footage film I didn’t like. Well, scrap that, because I realized, yes, I’ve met a few I didn’t care for at all. However, I am fascinated by the whole genre of found footage horror films and never pass up a chance to screen them….if I can take it. Some I won’t see because the gross factor is too high. But that’s blog post for another day. Hell House, LLC is
Horror Movie Review -Train to Busan (Busanhaeng)
Title: Train to Busan – Busanhaeng (original title)Genre: Horror (Zombies), Thriller, DramaDirector: Sang-Ho YeonWriters: Sang-Ho YeonIMDB Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5700672/ NO SPOILERS Me after seeing this movie on Amazon Video: PLOT SYNOPSIS: (imdb.com) While a zombie-virus breaks out in South Korea, a couple of passengers struggle to survive on the train from Seoul to Busan. Before I even begin, I’m going to say I loved this movie. A lot. Many horror movie viewers are cynical and jaded. They claim that “they’ve seen it all” and “nothing can scare them now”. That’s all well and good, but once you claim that, where is the fun in watching movies? Movies are escapist creations, much like many fiction books. The point of any given movie is to immerse yourself in the experience, and in a manner of speaking, let the filmmaker have his way with you. As a film viewer of the age that I am at now.
Horror Movie Review – Grave Encounters (2011)
Title: Grave EncountersGenre: Horror, Found FootageDirector: The Vicious BrothersWriters: The Vicious Brothers NO SPOILERS Plot Summary: (from imdb) For their ghost hunting reality show, a production crew locks themselves inside an abandoned mental hospital that’s supposedly haunted – and it might prove to be all too true. How do much do I love watching “found footage” horror movies? I don’t know why…it’s a strange addiction indeed. Something about the first person perspective, the shaky cam and the odd angles appeal to me. As a huge fan of those ghost hunter shows – I’m looking at you Ghost Adventures and Ghost Brothers – I was especially eager to see this film. Cynical “ghost hunters” who will pay people to say they’ve seen a ghost? Check. “Haunted” insane asylum? Check. Found footage? Whooo, baby! We got ourselves a movie! Do not come to this movie expecting high art, a never-before seen twist
Blogtoberfest – Zombies!
October is the month of being scary, right? But I’m a romance author, so I found a way to combine the two. Loving Among the Dead is the answer that I found. A mix of erotic romance and scary zombie adventure, it’s sure to get your blood racing in one way or the other. Here’s a blurb. A survivor of a zombie apocalypse that’s ripped her world apart…. Nothing in her graduate history courses prepared Judith Graham for the monotony of her existence in the weeks following a zombie apocalypse. Hiding from the rotted world in her makeshift fortress, she subsists on dehydrated food and lonely thought. When she gives up and decides to satisfy her need for a break in routine, she crosses paths with Sky Beckett, a high school physics teacher making his way to his Southern childhood home. Several passionate encounters coupled with Sky’s assertion that things

Horror Movies Based on Books
That Aren’t by Stephen King Everyone’s got a favorite horror movie. But, I think you would agree, the ideas have to come from somewhere. Many of these movies are based on or strongly influenced by books. Let’s take a look. The Collector – John Fowles Film Adaptation starring Terence Stamp and Samantha Eggar, 1965. While this may be more of a thriller than a horror, meh, this is a personal favorite of mine and will be included on the list. From Amazon: Hailed as the first modern psychological thriller, The Collector is the internationally bestselling novel that catapulted John Fowles into the front rank of contemporary novelists. This tale of obsessive love–the story of a lonely clerk who collects butterflies and of the beautiful young art student who is his ultimate quarry–remains unparalleled in its power to startle and mesmerize. Burnt Offerings – Robert Marasco Film Adaptation: 1976 This is
