Just A Quick Heads Up

Hey everyone. Just a quick heads up for ya. I'm going to be switching to a out of 10 rating system instead of out of 5. I feel like I can better convey how good or bad a movie is with the 10 system. Be on the lookout for this epic change!

We'll Tear Your Soul Apart!

Hellraiser(1987)

Directed By: Clive Barker

Tagline: Demon to some. Angel to others.

'Hellraiser' is the story of an unfaithful wife who encounters the "zombie" of her dead lover, who is being chased by demon's after escaping from their sado-masochistic hell. Oh but this movie is about so much more than just that. It's about the extent man will go through to achieve his ultimate pleasure. This becomes evident in the first lines of the movie "What's your pleasure sir?". Uncle Frank, a crazed sex addict searching for the ultimate high, purchases a puzzle box, rumored to unleash the ultimate pleasure or pain, interpreted differently from person to person. The puzzle box(The Lament Configuration or Lemarchand's Box), once solved, summons demons, known as Cenobites, who come to claim your soul and do with your body what they will in order to give you the ultimate satisfaction as they see fit. Uncle Frank solves the box and gets his soul taken by the cenobites and has his body forever trapped in the floorboards of his house. When Frank's brother Larry moves in to Frank's seemingly abandoned house, Larry accidentally cuts himself, spilling blood on the floorboards where franks body. The blood is absorbed by Frank's body and the body begins to regain it's previous form. First off, I want to say that the make up and gore effects of this film are truly phenomenal. In my eyes they will forever stand the test of time as some of the greatest most groundbreaking effects in movie history. Also, the creepy atmosphere and beautiful imagery used throughout this film is spectacular. If you have not yet seen the 1987 Clive Barker classic 'Hellraiser', please take the time to see it before the shitty 3-D remake comes out and the franchise is forever ruined. 'Hellraiser' is and will always be my favorite film ever made. Clive Barker's use of dramatic irony throughout the entire film creates a sense of absolute dread and darkness that just needs to be seen to be believed. One of the greatest stories ever told and some of the greatest monsters ever filmed gives Clive Barker's 'Hellraiser' a perfect 5/5.

Sketchiest Bahamas Vacation Ever

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer(1998)

Directed By: Danny Cannon

Tagline: Some secrets will haunt you forever.

The MPAA said this film is rated R for for intense terror violence and gore, strong language and some drug use. Oh '90's how innocent you are. Your version of intense terror, violence, and gore was Jack Black being stabbed with garden shears. By today's standards, 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer' would be a PG Disney channel original movie. This one starts out with a paranoid Jennifer Love Hewitt being scared of the scary fisherman from the first movie. Her and Freddie Prinze Jr. thought they killed him but they thought wrong. J-Love's friend ends up winning a trip to the Bahamas from a sketchy radio station that they weren't even listening to at the time. So they go and bring some "macho" guys and hope to have a fun, sex charged weekend in an island paradise. Little do they know that this vacation to the tropics, will turn into the vacation from hell......I'm corny. So this movie wasn't too good....at all. I felt like throughout my viewing of this garbage that the only reason it was made was to cash in on the somewhat successful prequel. The script, acting, and kills were all very uninspired and boring. Slasher movies usually pride themselves on how creative they can get with killing young stars. There are some positives to this film though. Jennifer Love Hewitt is in it and also.....wait.....thats the only good thing about this movie. I personally want to say thank you to Danny Cannon for the first couple of seconds of the tanning bed scene. That was a marvelous piece of work. Overall, 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer' is trash. Watch the first one and then consider yourself done with the series. "I Still Know...' gets a 2/5.

What 2006 movie is this gruesome scene from and who is the iconic new killer performing the act?

Scream 2009

Spike's Scream Awards 2009 have come and gone and I have to say I am not that impressed. The opening sequence with the little twin girls was pretty creepy but after that, there was nothing too spectacular. We had the usual celebrity presenters, dressed up audience members, and the typical award giving. I'm pretty disappointed with some of the winners. 'Star Trek' won the ultimate scream award. 'Star Trek'. WTFBBQ. How is that movie/franchise a scream at all? Biggest Blockbuster? Yes. Ultimate Scream? No. Aside from that, I am happy to see 'True Blood' winning almost all of the TV categories. I wish there had been more love shown for 'Dexter', I still think that show is the best on TV right now. The editing that was done from the live taping of the show was terrible. They cut so many award presentations it's unbelievable. I watched this whole show just to see what movie won best foreign film. It was a toss up between 'Martyrs', Let the Right One In', 'Eden Lake', and 'Dead Snow'. All of which were freaking brilliant films(I'm not sure about dead snow because i haven't seen it but i have heard only positive things about it). They cut that part of the show out. 'Let the Right One In' won by the way. Another thing that annoyed me was how much bullshit there was for the 'Twilight' series. Shouldn't that garbage be on like the Nickelodeon awards or some teen choice awards? I understand that the Scream awards are for the best in sci-fi, horror, and fantasy, but i didn't know this was turning into a celebration of teenage inter species erotica. I did like how they payed tributes to George A. Romero and Stan Lee, some of the most influential people in their respective professions. Overall, I wasn't pleased with this years Scream Awards. I hope next year they actually include all of the categories and maybe throw in a Badass concert or something. And I hope all the actors from the 'Twilight' series spontaneously combust so we can be done with all that dumb shit.

Ruin the Original Mythos

The Grudge 2(2006)


Directed By: Takashi Shimizu


Tagline: What Was Once Trapped, Will Now Be Unleashed


Everyone knows that sequels are usually a lot worse than the prequel. 'The Grudge 2' is one example. I absolutely hated the original 'Ju-on' and the American remake 'The Grudge'. Pale little demon Asians do not scare me. The only reason why 'The Grudge' received as much praise from American audiences as it did was because it had that all powerful money maker of a rating of pg-13. Little teenage girls could go see it with their friends, overreact, go out and tell all their friends, and boom, instant cash cow. So with the huge success of the prequel, you would think a lot of time would be spent on making the sequel equally "frightening" and "groundbreaking", right? Nope. This movie made me LOL. Oh my god the Asian boy is on the desk. No way there is a long haired girl in the corner. PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE! Geez they are little pale Asians; kick their asses! Not being scary aside, this movie picks up with Sarah Michelle Gellar's character's sister going to Japan to find out what happened to Buffy the vampire slayer. Shit hits the fan and now the sister has the grudge curse. The movie follows other kids also, as they get cursed and die and become pale. There is one redeeming factor to this movie and that is the all star roster of hotties on the screen. We have Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sarah Roemer, Teresa Palmer, Jenna Dewan, and the lovely Misako Uno. They all get messed up and such and we are left with Amber Tamblyn(the sister) who is tasked with stopping the curse. We find out that the dead Asian curse people were haunting for a different reason than explained in the first movie. Way to ruin what cool and original story you had. I'm not at all a fan of this movie. Cheap scares, bad acting, botched story, and plenty of loopholes make this movie a mom and pop store rent at best. Avoid this one if at all possible. 'The Grudge 2' gets a 1.5/5.

ZOMG JAWS IS REAL!!!!
