My Review

I read this one maybe nasty horror movie so will be watching and taking a look and reviewing it.

Starts off with van going down the road and 2 guys carry box to van something in there and then we go to hospital where a young woman is fighting for her life doesn’t look good I think no not yet.

The lady at house seems creepy maybe she a witch or something the guy goes to visit his girlfriend and she dies which odd she look like she was doing good. After her death things started to get odd around house the lady I think is his mom well he start Breast-feeding I can of laugh and that a grow man Breast-feeding that little bit Strange writing there.

After her funeral the guy steals her body and try to bring her back to life sort of return of living dead III vibes feel like story is going that way trying to bring her back could go wrong in a deadly as well he picks up a woman on street and later it end up being her at wrong place she ends up being killed so he and Iris that creepy woman in dress by the way dress up his dead girlfriend in bed.

Later on them 2 are cutting up girl who they meet on road body and put in tub very sick and disturbing as well what they are doing with even I don’t want to know if you watch this do not eat anything before watching good chance you vomit one thing for sure this very sick and twist horror movie indeed horror also Iris character is one crazy woman and sick person as well.

Later on guy meets a woman and bites her so he is a vampire now they end burn her shame though she was pretty as well.

As movie goes on it does get a lot dark and twist as well he and Iris are going to get married but don’t look happy I was thinking he was going to turn on her before movie ends and it starts to happen close to end but he is sick and twist as well going after young woman interesting a his girlfriend sister shows up and Iris face look like she see a ghost or something sister pass out as Iris try to attack her but Fred try to stop and get stab in area that hurts the must ouch and so him and Iris fight she knocks his eyeball out and he bites her and stab her and took the sister to be burn.

And he dies later so they take his girlfriend body back to Funeral home I think and well get a Surprise ending that I know would happen it was scary not too much many who watched probably know they would end it that way because music was getting creepy as well so let’s go to final thoughts to see what I think of this movie it will be below.

Well it was bloody and gory that for sure give it that for horror movie but would like more of story behind Iris and Fred or maybe after his girlfriend died he just went nuts and Iris was indeed crazy force and think that was one who took care of him Iris not his mom but she did weird stuff to him and in the end it didn’t matter both of them killed each other though they didn’t give us much of story which made me feel characters seem weak though and that ending was ok could of done that in last 15 mins with her waking up and going after Fred would of been interesting battle after Iris died there would of save but will say kill count was indeed high and very bloody and gory what them two did in that house is indeed curse. So again make sure you don’t eat lunch before see this or else you may again puke and get sick because gore and bloody is indeed high in this one that for sure but this must see if anybody who does like this type of movie if you don’t probably should not watch it at all so in the end will say as I started this was one nasty movie.

I give Beyond the Darkness (1979) a rating of 7/10

My Review

Another week of good or worst horror movies reviews by me this is called the Pit which was release in 1981 another 80’s horror movie.

The movie starts off with kids trick or Treating and then we see kid name Jamie take another bunch of kids in the woods you know something will go down as music does get creepy here in opening moments of movie all he does is push boy into the pit not much but there creepy teddy bear with glowing eyes what In the pit is the question.

After that we Jamie seem to be picked on by teachers and other kids he seems like a troubled maker as well dinner scene was can of odd they zoom in when everybody was eating and Jamie went under the table and I guess he a little Pervert try to look up lady dress something seem off with this kid he talks to strange bear who talks to him back in creepy voice As well so first first 21 mins is him trying to get close to woman to like him don’t work much after that he gets out of house and goes deep into forest and then we see what in the pit some kind of monster with green eyes something disturbing that for sure only get a shot of it quick one by the way.

Will say first 30 mins is can of slow though all he pretty much do is try to get her close to her also he goes back and visits monsters now there many more wonder if they Multiply by feeding food or humans not sure writing on this one is odd with boy trying to get his babysitter to like him and the whole monsters ugly monsters as well.

He then later starts feeding monsters humans started off with little girl who tease him and old lady what odd I see no cops yet looking for them or him something odd though they do not sure what happen as they get throw in the pit maybe they didn’t want to show kids getting up.

Later on shame babysitting went with Jamie to look at monsters in pit and fall in and got killed that sucks because she was pretty and nice so without I was wonder where the heck will this movie go next and what ending will be like Jamie see ghost of babysitting saying what have you done and he dumb more because he put the rope in pit now them things can climb and now can invade the town or in woods now no one is safe.

Pretty much the last 20 mins is what they should of done early on then have that slow slow build now we see blood and gore near the end here now we see everybody go after monsters or Creatures they put much shot them and that end of monsters or not the movie ending with well a odd twist soon as Jamie meet the girl at end had a feeling they do that can off odd ending to a strange movie.

Well have to say it was ok horror movie could of been better if it was not slow start but last 20 mins did get bloody and gory and what was with Jamie babysitting as ghost nothing much that was worthless and it odd the cops didn’t figure it was Jamie who was feeding humans to creatures they did ask him but didn’t do much pretty much not good writing there in fact the whole movie was that weird writing as well so would I watch this again probably not since I didn’t like it too much acting wasn’t best and story again was odd they could least write it better is what I think to pretty much end this one.

I give the pit (1981) a rating of 5/10

Candyman (2021) Movie Review

 Starring…………Yahya Abdul- Mateen II, Teyonah Parris and Nathan Stewart Jarrett

Director……… Nia DaCosta

Synopsis

A sequel to the horror film Candyman (1992) that returns to the new- gentrified Chicago neighborhood where the legend begins.

Warning spoilers ahead

My review

This is a sequel but didn’t they have one years ago maybe this took places years and years after first movie have to say that opening was creepy with candyman song being played fits opening well because title is candyman. Well we see a kid in a room and someone comes out mirror as image of him with hook did they forget 3 times candyman say allready look like it or this is candyman as a child and this how it started his voice sounds deep as candyman I am interested if this how this got started most remakes go that way gives us more of story of characters of horror.

Later on guy said he saw candyman and yes that Tony Todd does show up in flashback I wonder how many times he will show up and if he the main bad guy of the movie hopefully you can not much have him not be candyman shows up at 34 min mark after a slow build up that reason why I am not much a fan of horror remakes they are very slow build and sometimes only see him kill 2 people after his name was said many times least writers are getting better at that now hopefully.

The story is ok but again slow build about a guy name Anthony Looking into candyman and his past he finds out he may have a past with Candyman like when he was born he was Chosen my guess to be the new killer Candyman pretty much look like it going that way.

And last 20 mins I was right either he become the new candyman or merg with the one now it was can of odd how it ending with candyman saying tell everyone as it rolls to credits will say credits was cool though.

Will say not the worst remake I see still gory and scary and tony Todd only shows up at the end there as we were giving 2 new characters can of confused story but still not a bad horror movie but it was not best of 1992 one it was great see Tony Todd at the end why only time is can of silly maybe he step aside or guy writing this didn’t force on him more this is a remake so probably would of been nice to add him in more for us fans though anyway is this movie a letdown yes and sort of no does have not a bad story to candyman series the ending was passing of torch with a new version I am sure Tony will retire from being candyman that why he pass the torch now will we get new movies not sure doubt it but will see.

That it for this week horror movie review see you next weekend for next one.

I give Candyman (2021) a rating of 6/10

As I write this here in 2024 November  Tony Todd has pass away will remember him playing the candyman and the voice of Zoom what a great actor he was and he will be missed Rest in peace Tony Todd.

My Review

After 2nd movie letdown hope 3nd movie of series brings a better story and better movie as well so here is my review of Cube: Zero.

Movie starts off with a guy trapped in cube gets nailed that look to be water he thinks it but after starts to melt very gory and bloody start to the movie which is indeed lot better there.

After that we see 2 guys see that death look like they may run the cube and later they get dinner in form of a pill ok then after that they look up info on lady trap in the cube and then later wakes her up and see looking for her daughter by the way cube does look great as well.

She meets up with the others later and one guy went to next area of the cube and well get slice in half this indeed start off to gory start just like the first movie.

For some reason the guy thinks he see her before maybe them two were married before there mind was wipe that would be one heck of twist but not sure they would go that way with that idea.

Later on we find out she clean from crimes and guy try stick for her but the other guy angry with some and then a guy who was trapped in cube was about close to getting to exit he gets fired bye a blaze of fire ouch and later Eric has a enough and goes down to the cube hopefully to help Cassandra out but now he the one stuck in also a guy with a odd eye creepy the actor who plays this guy is someone I see before very interesting.

Later on one of cube members get nailed by something that release a virus that eats her up the big guy gets nailed and pretty much blow up like the others.

So the last 37 mins is the guy with creepy eye trying up the game and kill then with more traps around does work for a bit but a connect failed cause the cube to reset they now have 10 mins to exit or get killed by the reset whole the guy with the eye trying to still kill them it starts to close with 1 min to go will they get out or not is question.

They do get out but they still not out of danger as there Surprises waiting for them as Eric gets nailed with a dart that knocks him out and then mess him up big time he turn into that guy from first metal Handicap not a good ending him but least she got away for now and that how ended with him being throw back into cube with the next group was a ok ending but odd one to pretty strange series of movies.

Well will say the last 2 movies was weird but also this was a little bit better for Characters and story was little better but would of like to know more who guy with eye was think he was created of this cube of deadly he sure was sick and twist some that for sure also will say kills was little better and gory as well some so indeed a step up from number but out 3 number 1 was a whole lot better then number 2 and this one will say this was ok movie as well acting wasn’t the best but not worst as well so was this end of series pretty much but there is a Japanese version remake but I have not see it yet or don’t plan on watching it because it probably hard to find here in USA so yeah anyway after last two pretty much burn 🔥 out from cube movies and plan to move on now but if you do watch this start with first one and see if you want to continue on with series but good luck you won’t find too many Answers to your questions about this series as I did with this one.

Well that it for this Saturday night review let’s see what I be reviewing next week hopefully it will be a good scary one as for now have a good rest of your weekend.

I give Cube Zero (2004) a rating of 6/10
