A Good Day For A "Wrong Turn" Movie Review (Part 4)

Hey guys! I took a little break this weekend as far as horror movies are concerned, but I am back and here with my review of the fourth movie of the franchise "Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings", directed by Declan O'Brien (Wrong Turn 3 + 5). In this installment, a group of eight friends are traveling to their friends cabin in the woods by snowmobile. But they get caught in a blizzard and had to settle in at an abandoned Sanitarium, where once again our three favorite cannibals are staying.

The movie starts with a sort of flashback. We meet the head doctor at the sanitarium and a lady who seems to be some sort of therapist. The doctor is showing her all of the inmates. He brings her to meet Three-Finger, One-Eye, and Saw-Tooth, but this time they are teenagers. When going in one of the other inmates grabs a pin out of the lady's hair and hides. When the doctors leave they inmate gives the pin to the brothers and they escape, and when doing so they kill a security guard and release the other inmates. They all run a muck through the hospital. Then the three brothers track down and kill the therapist by electrically shocking her brain with a shock therapy machine, and then they find the head doctor and pull each one of his limbs off with barbed wire. And this leads us to the beginning of the film.

It starts out with two different sex scenes going on at the same time. Soon Kenia, played by Jennifer Pudavick (Wishmaster 3 + 4), comes in to let them know they are leaving to start their trip to their friends cabin in five minutes.

Now we meet the entire group of friends; Sara and Bridget (Gay couple), Jenna and Vincent (Couple), Lauren and Daniel (Couple), and lastly Kyle and Claire (Couple). They all pack up some snowmobiles and snowboards and hit the trails. After a while they realize they are lost, and they come upon the abandoned sanitarium. They decide to bunk inside for the night.

Once they get inside they start to do some exploring. They find the head doctors office and find a ton of patient files. they soon learn that the place is a mental hospital and most of the patients were physically deformed. After exploring they go and settle in the main study. They build a fire and a Kenia, Vincent and Jenna go do some more exploring. Kenia thinks she saw someone but the others convince her it was nothing. After Vincent scares the crap out of Kenia and Jenna, they go back with the others.

Vincent makes up for scaring the girls by going an turning on the generator so they can get some lights and heat. So he goes and does that no problem.

We then get a quick shot of the three brothers dragging a dead body into the building through the snow. Later we find out that it is the groups friend Porter, who owned the cabin they were suppose to go to.

Now the group decides to have a little fun. So they drink some thirty year old scotch that they find and let loose. The ride wheelchairs, dance around through the halls, and Sara and Bridget make out most of the time. They then make their way into a large room with a theater stage. Daniel find an old film roll and they decide to watch it. The film shows the torture that these patients would receive. Things like shock therapy. After the movie they all go to bed to get rest for their trip in the morning.

Vincent can't sleep so he goes on to explore more of the hospital. He takes a little detour to watch Sara and Bridget partake in intercourse. But then he continues and sees his buddy Porter at the nurses station, or what is left of him. When he goes up to him he sees that Porter is dead, and when Vincent turns around he gets stabbed in the head with a huge needle by Saw-Tooth.

Jenna wakes up in the morning and Vincent has not come back yet. Go figure. So she gets everyone to split into two groups to go look for him. One group consists of  Jenna, Kyle, Claire, and Kenia. The other is Sara, Bridget, Daniel and Lauren.

Sara's group goes and finds a caged area in the basement and check it out. Jenna's group decides to split up. We then see Jenna go into the kitchen where she witnesses Saw-Tooth chopping up Vincent's body. She makes her way back to the rest of the group and tells them that Vincent is dead. So they make their way back to the room with the stage. When the get back, something throws a rolled up jacket at their feet from the stage, and its Vincents head in Porters jacket. They all decide that its best to leave right now. But before they go outside, Claire gets a nuse of barbed wire dropped around her neck from the balcony above. She is hung and her body is soon separated from her body.

They quickly run outside to leave but the cannibals took the spark plug wires. Lauren then decides to take a pair of skis and ski her way down the mountain to get help. We find out later that she freezes to death under a tree, just about one hundred feet away from the main road.

After quick decision making, they go back inside and lock themselves in the head doctors office. Once they get inside Saw-Tooth knocks and drills through the door with an ice auger. Kyle, Daniel and Sara all decide to go to the caged area to find weapons.. After they panic for a bit they decide to go get weapons. On they are chased by Three-Finger. They make it to the caged area and lock themselves in, and they are not seen. When heading back to the others, Daniel is captured and taken to the kitchen.

Kyle and Sara make it back, but no Daniel. We then see Daniel strapped to an iron table in the kitchen, The three brothers then start boiling oil and adding different vegetables like potatoes and onions to the oil. They plan to make some sort of sick fondue. So they carefully start cutting off different pieces of him and they dip them into the oil, and start chowing down.

The others hear him screaming so they decide to make a run to save him. We never really find out, but he eventually passes out from the pain and eventually dies. The group makes a plan to scare the three by using fire. So they make their way down to the kitchen and begin chasing them down the hall. Jenna then smashes a lantern on the floor and a wall of fire appears. They then chase them into their old cell and they lock it. Kyle wants to kill them but Kenia convinces him not to. So they decide to get some rest, and they take shifts throughout the night. Kyle takes first watch over the cannibals.

Kyle falls asleep and the brothers use the same pin they escaped with years ago, and they break out and attack Kyle.

Kenia decides to go relieve Kyle, but the generator dies and she is left alone in the dark on her way to the cell block. She gets their and there is no Kyle and no cannibals. Kenia makes her way back to the group and Kyle is not there. They have themselves locked in the head doctors office.  Soon after she returns someone appears at the door, and they have a sack over their head. So Kenia, Sara, Bridget and Jenna decide to kill him because he's unarmed. So they go out and stab him about a couple dozen times, each. But they pull the mask off and realize that it was Kyle. He couldn't talk because the brothers cut out his tongue. Now the girls really want to leave so they start looking for the spark plug wires.

They look and look but can't find them, so they put on their snow gear and try to break out through a window. This is when we see the three brothers going after them with the same ice auger. The girls put a piece of wood between the door handles to gold them back, but only for a minute or two. They pull the metal cage off the window and break the glass so they can get out. Sara has to dig a tunnel through the snow. Sara, Bridget, and Kenia make it out, but the snow falls down and Jenna can't get through. She is then drilled to death by Saw-Tooth.

The three girls start running in the snow, and they are soon surrounded by the brothers, on their snow sleds. They leave soon after. But eventually they come back and attack the girls. Kenia gets hit with a blunt object and Bridget is dragged through the snow. Sara helps Kenia to a tree and decides to go back and find something that she forgot, but its snowing so she never found it. Bridget falls into the snow and she is then caught under one of the brothers sled tracks and she is complete cut up by the track. Sara finds her dead soon after.

It then transitions to morning and we see Kenia walking through an open field calling for help. Then one of the brothers starts chasing her on a snow sled, but the girls set a clever trap. Sara hid behind a pile of snow and knocked the cannibal off of the sled. Kenia and Sara then take the sled and make their way towards safety. But when you think they made it safely, they run into a line of barbed wire and it cuts off both of their heads. That's right, no survivors in Wrong Turn 4! The final shot is of Three-Finger putting the severed heads into the back of the truck and driving off.

Pros:

• Once again the kills in this movie were fantastic. They introduced new weapons like snow sleds and ice augers. It fit perfectly with the winter theme.
• The characters were very believable and they always showed emotion.
• The makeup for the cannibals was perfect. They still look creepy and realistic as ever. 
• The way that they showed how they were as teenagers was very cool. You kind of got to see how they became who they are. 

Cons:

• Some of the CGI on some of the kills, like the girl being hung and the snow sled kill were not as good as I wished it would be, but that is really the only thing that I didn't really like about the film. 

Now on a scale from A-F, I give "Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings" a... B+!

This is my favorite of the entire franchise. Something about the winter element gives a new obstacle for the characters to overcome. They brought in some very new and gruesome kills, which have gotten better from movie to movie. I thought the cast overall did a very good job, showing emotion through most of the movie. I also thought the flashback to seeing the cannibals as teenagers was brilliant. You actually got to see them before they really went on their killing sprees.

Thanks for reading everyone and come back anytime for everything that is horror!

A Good Day For A "Wrong Turn" Movie Review (Part 3)

Hey everyone and welcome to  back to another Wrong Turn horror movie review! Tonight my roommates and I watch the third installment of the Wrong Turn franchise called "Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead". This film came out in 2009 and was directed by Declan O'Brien (Joy Ride 3, Wrong Turn 4+5). In this movie a group of convicts and two security guards get in a bus accident during a prison transfer, and they need to fight to stay alive because they are being hunted by our old pal Three-Finger (Borislav Iliev- World War Z).

Now it all starts with two couples kayaking down the rapids of a fast river. They decide to take a break and relax on a beach near by. The girls decide to tan while the guys go search for firewood. Eventually there is one couple on the beach and the others left. But soon the girl on the beach gets shot with an arrow through the chest and the eye. The boyfriend runs leaving the other girl and her boyfriend behind. He gets cut into thirds by a wire trap set by Three-Finger. The other boyfriend is chased down and stabbed through the mouth with a wooden spike. The last girl remaining manages to get away. For now.

We are now shown a bus that arrives at a nearby prison. Two groups are in the courtyard, one led by Chavez played by Tamer Hassan (Batman Begins) and Floyd played by Gil Kolirin (Return to House on Haunted Hill). They are planning to work together to help Chaves escape during the prisoner exchange.

We soon meet Nate and Walter, two prison guards who will be in charge of the transfer. Nate is soon brought into an office where the prison owner tells him that he will lead the transfer. They also tell him they will use an agent disguised as a prisoner to help find out if the there will be an escape attempt. They want him to stay on Chavez's good side.

They soon bring in all of the prisoners being moved and they chain them all together so that no one can escape. Then they are brought onto the bus and they make their way to the other prison, but they first make a stop at the sheriffs department for a rest stop and a check in. Nate just happens to have grown up in the town that the sheriffs office is in, so he knows some of the people. So when they are all finished they get back on the bus and continue the transfer.

While this is going on, we meet Three-Toes, who is the son of Three-Finger. He is setting up a spike trap, with a little help from his daddy. They then roam off into the forest.

As the bus makes its way to the destination, Three-Finger driving his little pickup truck manages to push the bus off the road and they crash at the bottom of a hill. When everyone gets out, the group of prisoners turn on Nate and Walter and take their guns. Now the group is on foot and trying to find the nearest town.


While going through the woods they find an abandoned, armored truck and they find money inside. They all think they get a share of it, but Chavez has other ideas. He makes everyone carry bags, but Walter is hurt and can't carry anything. Chavez tells him to anyway but Walter refuses, earning him a gunshot to the head.

They continue through the woods but they come upon the trap set by Three-Toes. It doesn't kill anybody but Three-Toes appears. They make quick work of the young cannibal, and they put his head on a stick for his father to find, which he does. Three-Finger is outraged.

Now we get to officially meet Alex, the girl who ran away at the beginning of the film. She has seen what Three-Finger has done and is now stuck with the group. She leads them to the rafts they had at the start, but thanks to Nate who pops the rafts, nobody is going anywhere except on foot. Chavez doesn't appreciate this, so a few shots to the face for Nate. We then start to lose a few prisoners. One of them (undercover agent) pulls on a set of keys hanging from a tree, but its a trap and the front of his face is cut off by a swinging scythe. The other (car thief) goes to check an abandoned truck, but Three-Finger springs a trap that wraps a barbed wire net around the guy and drags him to his death. We are left with Nate, Alex, Chavez, Floyd, and Brandon, who was committed for something he was supposedly innocent for.

Now the sheriff is a little nervous about the transfer and decides to go out and check to make sure that everything has gone smoothly. He eventually finds the bus that was rolled over and goes out looking for everyone.

At this point Floyd and Chavez are having control issues. That's what money does. They duke it out for a bit but Chavez beats Floyd to a pulp. As this is going on Nate and Alex attempt to sneak away, for now. Brandon and Chavez find Nate and Alex and they make sure they won't run again. They make there way back into the woods and they decide to hide the money by a tree for now.  When they leave the money, Floyd wakes up, takes the money and throws it into the river. When the group can't find the money Chavez goes after Floyd, but Floyd is soon set on fire by Three-Finger.

They get away and come upon a truck on a road. Chavez sacrifices Alex to Three-Finger and he drives off. Nate, Brandon and Chavez are on their own.

After a while Chavez is tired of Nate leading him nowhere and he plans to kill him. But Brandon the innocent hits Chavez over the head with a gun that Chavez trusted him with and knocks him out. Brandon and Nate part ways.

Now Chavez wakes up and fights Three-Finger but it doesn't end the way he hoped and he is soon killed and hung from a tree.

Nate makes his way through the woods and finds a house that Alex has been trapped in. He helps her escape but Three-Finger surprises them. They start fighting but Nate stabs him. Now they can get away. They take his truck and drive, but they soon encounter him on the road. He causes them to get into an accident. Brandon returns briefly to help Nate and Alex out of the truck.

They are now all alone until they are attacked by Three-Finger, but Nate makes quick work of him with a hook through the head of the cannibal. Now Nate tells Brandon that he has his back. He will say he didn't make it so he can go live his life. Brandon leaves. The sun soon rises and the cops come to the rescue. The last shot of the film is of Nate taking some money out of the back of the armored vehicle in the woods. He's reminded of Walter, but he then takes an arrow to the chest from Brandon, who finishes off the film by saying "Never trust a convict".


Pros:

• There were a lot of very original kills in this film. A great use of different traps make this movie very exciting.

Cons:

• I thought some of the CGI use during the movie was very sloppy. Some of the driving scenes were very bad and didn't even look real.
• I didn't think the acting was very good overall. It looked like everyone was trying but it didn't feel genuine. 

Now on a scale from A-F, I give "Wrong Turn 3: Left For Dead" a... C-.

This is my least favorite film of the franchise. There were a lot of new and original kills and I love seeing that. The gore was also pretty good. I just feel that the acting needed a lot of improvement and they could of done a little better with the CGI. If they could do driving scenes in the first two fine, why not this one?

Thanks for reading everyone and come back anytime for everything that is horror!

A Good Day For A "Wrong Turn" Movie Review (Part 2)

Hey guys! Since my last review was on the first Wrong Turn, I thought it would be a cool idea to make a series out of these films. So this next review is going to be on Wrong Turn 2: Dead end, directed by Joe Lynch (Everyly).

In this 2007 sequel to the first movie Wrong Turn that came out in 2003, a group of individuals that come from different backgrounds are brought together to take part on a post apocalyptic reality game show. But what they don't know is that our favorite family of hillbilly cannibals have returned for another feast of epic proportions, literally.

To start the film we meet Kimberly, ironically played by Kimberly Caldwell (Recipe For Love). She is a celebrity that has been brought on this game show. Shes driving a red Ford Mustang while arguing with her manager on her headset because she doesn't get any real work. While in this mindset, she runs into a family member of our cannibal friends. In a panic she goes to make sure that he is okay, but this act of kindness loses her part of her face, and ultimately her life when she gets split in half by Pa (Ken Kirizinger- Watchmen, X-Men: 2).

Now we are shown a preview of the new hit reality survival game show called "The Apocalypse". Where six (seven including the host) lucky survivors must come together to stay alive after the end of the world. We then meet the six contestants: Kimberly (MIA), Jonesy (X-Games loser), Amber (US Marine), Jake (college football star), Elana (stuck-up princess), and Nina (Vegan with a bad attitude). We also meet Dale (Henry Rollins- Heat), who is the host of the show, Mara and M (producer and director). Sorry, quite a few characters, but it will all come together.

Since Kimberly was unable to attend due to extreme circumstances, Mara is put in to take her place. We then find out that M and Mara are a couple. Now each person gets assigned a teammate to work together with. There are radiation tripwires in the woods, and if one is triggered you have to do a task. If the task is not performed then you pretty much lose the game. So the teams are Amber and Jonesy, Elana and Jake, and Mara and Nina.

So now the groups part ways, and they are not allowed to use any electronics what so ever. Now the game begins. So Mara and Nina make there way into the woods. Mara tries to start conversations with her partner, but Nina is really in this for herself. But they soon have to work together because Mara hits a tripwire and ends up falling into a river getting the antidote. She eventually survives and is unaffected by radiation.

Now at this time M is trying to get Jake and Elana to make some "chemistry", but Jake doesn't feel what M is asking is right for family TV. So he goes off on his own. Elana takes advantage of the opportunity, and eventually M cheats on Mara with Elana. But not before Mara spots them from a hill in the distance. M leaves and Elana starts tanning, but what she doesn't know is that one of the cannibals is watching her. Then the wife of the one watching her becomes enraged and slashes Elana to death.

In the meantime Jonesy flirts constantly with Amber, but soon finds out she is a lesbian, but this doesn't stop him. They eventually make a truce and come upon a camp with some barbecue on the fire. They take it and make there way to a field where they meet up with Jake. They then chow down on their findings.

All while this is going on, Dale is being shot at with arrows by Three-Finger, and he is eventually knocked out by Pa and brought back to a cabin to be cooked. He wakes up, upside down to find Three-Finger chopping up some flesh for their meal. But Dale with his marine background eventually escapes and sends our favorite three-fingered cannibal into the water with a buckshot to the chest. He then moves on.

Now since Mara saw M with Elana, Mara has been pretty upset. But her and Nina come upon another cabin and they go inside to try and get service. But they are suddenly trapped when a group of the cannibals bring in one of their women, put her on the table and help deliver her baby.  They are eventually seen and escape through the bottom of the house. Nina makes it but Mara isn't quick enough and gets a nice tomahawk to the skull. Nina is now alone.

Dale makes his way to another cabin, and if I'm correct, that's three cabins already. But Dale meets an old man living by himself. Dale patches himself up while making small talk with the old man. We then find out it is the man from the gas station in the first movie. He is also the father of some of the cannibals. They start to wrestle around but then Dale quickly ties some of the old mans dynamite to an arrow and shoots the old man in the back. Then the dynamite goes off, and I'll let your imagination finish the rest.

Nina finally runs her way into the field where Jonesy, Amber and Jake are eating their meal. She tells them that Mara is dead and they need to leave now. At first no one believes her but they soon find out, thanks to a tattoo on their food, that she is telling the truth. They then leave as a group to try and get out of this place.

Now I know we've been wondering about M. Probably not. But he gets to the TV truck after all this time. He gets back but is soon stalked and attacked by Pa. We don't know if he is still alive or not.

So the four survivors make their way into the woods, but come across a couple of the hillbillies, one of which wearing the skin of Elana. Jake runs to save the Elana-masked cannibal  but the group gets attacked. Jake and Nina go one way, Jonesy and Amber the other way. But quickly Jonesy and Amber both get caught in foot traps and are hanging in the trees. They are both then killed by a single arrow that goes through both of their heads.

Jake and Nina go through a couple of obstacles, like trap holes, and waterfalls. But they eventually make it to an abandoned mill. Inside they find the TV truck. While Jake investigates the truck, he sees M getting killed on the monitor and he is soon take hostage. Soon after, Nina is found and taken as well. But Dale is still out there trying to save everyone. He gets to the mill and kills off two of the cannibals. Nina is tied to a chair and Jake is tied by his arms, hanging from the ceiling. While the family is distracted, Dale releases them, but while doing so he gets shot with two arrows and is choked by barbed wire.

Now in the final fight, Pa tries to put Jake through a meat grinder, but Nina saves him. Pa is then pushed into it and loses his arm. Ma (Ashlea Earl) comes and helps Pa, but thanks to Nina, a piece of machinery knocks both of them into the grinder, sending them to the basement in now liquid form. The two survivors now take the red mustang that Kimberly drove in the beginning of the movie and make their way to safety. The last shot shows nuclear waste going into the water, and the water is being put into a bottle and fed to the deformed baby that was born during the movie.


Pros:

• I thought the acting was overall very good by all of the actors. Especially Dale, because he brought such an awesome presence to the movie. 
• The makeup use on the cannibals was genuinely believable.
• I liked the idea of a post-apocalyptic game show and how the characters actually have to fight to survive. Ironic huh?
• The kills of course were awesome. Stepping up their game from the first movie.

Cons:

• Some of the gore effects were a little sloppy. You could really see the CGI in some of the shots.
• There were in my opinion too many story lines to follow. You would be watching one group, and forget what happened to another. A little hard to follow.

Now on a scale from A-F, I give "Wrong Turn 2: Dead End" a... B+!

I thought this movie had a lot of the same aspects of the first one, but this one brought it to a whole other level. The kills were knew and still very gory. The story was interesting and fun to watch. The characters were very relatable and they make you almost want to cheer for them, almost. A very solid sequel that proves the legitimacy of the series.

Thanks for reading everyone and come back anytime for everything that is horror!

A Good Day For A "Wrong Turn" Movie Review

 Today I decided to review a movie from the year 2003. Wrong Turn, directed by Rob Schmidt (The Alphabet Killer), focuses on a group of young adults who are stranded on an abandoned dirt road in the woodlands of West Virginia, fighting for their lives against a family of blood-thirty cannibals.

The movie introduces us to a male and female duo rock climbing. They are just enjoying their day but then they are soon both pursued by an unknown person, or persons. The man makes it to the top of the rock wall and is then immediately attacked and killed. The girl in a panic has her rope cut and she falls. In an effort to escape she trips, falls, and is eventually dragged away, leading into the actual story line.

It all starts when Chris Flynn, played by Desmond Harrington (Dexter, Dark Knight Rises), gets sidetracked on his way to Raleigh for a job interview. He reads on a map at an abandoned gas station that there is a road that may bypass the highway.

He makes his way down the road and quickly crashes into a car with flat tires that is parked in the middle of the road. The group ran across some barb wire that was lying in the road. This is when we meet co-star Jessie, played by Eliza Dushku (Bring It On), and a group of her friends. They team up to try and find some help. But they are in the middle of no where, in the woods of West Virginia. Not quite the ideal situation.

As this is going on, two member of the group stay behind to keep each other company. They accidentally separate from each other, and this results in both of them getting killed.

They soon come upon a wooden cabin and decide to go inside to see if the owners of the house have a phone. Nice choice. When they enter they soon discover that the owners of the house were the ones who put the wire in the road, and they also have body parts in jars in their fridge. As soon as they decide to leave, a family of three cannibals drive up to the house, ironically towing the groups vehicles.

The group hides in the house until the family falls asleep. But when they try to escape, the family wakes and the group in on the run. They end up running into a field filled with the cars stolen by these cannibals. And what do you think happens next? The three flesh eaters pull up and approach the yard. Chris in an attempt to save the group runs to distract the enemy, but ultimately gets shot in the leg. He survives, but can barely walk. Eventually all four escape thanks to Scott (Jeremy Sisto), who distracts their chasers but he gets shot with a few arrows, and you know the rest.

The three remaining members of a group decide to camp out in an old watch tower. But they don't stay for very long thanks to a very loud CB radio that gives them away. The cannibals then smoke out the three, trying to get them to come out. So instead they jump onto a nearby tree, in hopes to avoid the killers. But one makes his way up and we then lose Scott's girlfriend Carly's (Emmanuelle Chriqui- Entourage) head.

They survive through the night but early the next day Jessie gets captured and Chris is knocked down a hill and runs into a police officer driving on the road. He heard the call from the watch tower, but soon after he's killed by an arrow.

Chris hides under the cop car and holds on while Saw-Tooth (Garry Robbins) drives back to the cabin. Jessie is tied to a bed, death staring her in the face. But just before anything happens, Chris backs the car into the house, starting a fire and the final climax commences.

He ran over One-Eye (Ted Clark) entering the house so he didn't have to worry about him too much. Then Saw-Tooth becomes a problem, but luckily Jessie finally gets free and shoots an arrow through the back of his head. We think all is okay, until Three-Finger (Julian Richings) pulls out his knives. The fight doesn't last very long because Jessie drives an axe into the chest of Three-Finger, sealing his fate. So we think. Chris finishes the fight by shooting two gas tanks conveniently placed on the back of the cop car he drove through the side of the house, ultimately blowing up the house.

Now I think the ending is actually pretty good. Chris and Jessie show up at the same gas station as in the beginning and Chris tears down the map so no one will ever take a "wrong turn" again.


Pros:

• I thought a lot of the cinematography was shot beautifully. Some of the shots of the forest were great, like some of the shot from the watch tower.
• The three cannibals looked very realistic, and each one of them brought their own special touch to their own character.
• It gave us some very clever kills and it brought a lot of good gore to the horror genre.

Cons:

• I feel that the acting from some of the stars could have been a little bit better. I didn't see as much emotion in some of those high pressure scenes.

Now on a scale from A-F, I give "Wrong Turn" a... B!

I think that this movie is very underrated. I like the feeling that it have that maybe someone was watching them the entire time. The kills were very original and they found new and unique ways to use barbed wire. The cannibals couldn't have been played any better. They were lively, dangerous, and made the characters fight tooth and nail the entire time. It's not my favorite of the series, but it is definitely a movie worth watching.

Thanks for reading everyone and come back anytime for everything that is horror!

"The Boy" *SPOLIER* Movie Review

The Boy, directed by William Brent Bell (The Devil Inside), is a story about a young lady who comes to England to take some time away from her life in the Montana. Greta Evans, played by Walking Dead star Lauren Cohan, accepts a job as a nannie for the Heelshire's and their son Brahms.

**SPOILER ALERT! DON'T READ PAST HERE IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FILM**

When she arrives at the home of the Heelshires, she soon discovers that the older couples son Brahms, is actually a doll. At first she plays it off as a joke, but the couple soon shows her how real Brahms is to them. They feed him, read to him, and even let him play music. The couple is going on some sort of vacation so Greta must take care of Brahms and there are some very strict rules that she must follow.

At first she forgets about the rules and almost forgets that Brahms is even there. But as the movie progresses, she realizes that the doll can move, even though she doesn't actually see him move. By now she has met grocery man Malcom, who is played by Rupert Evans (Hellboy). He's been making her feel more comfortable in the home and Greta soon proves to him that Brahms is actually moving.

After going into the attic, Greta finds some old family photos and sees Brahms as an actual boy. We find out that Brahms died when he was 8 years old and Malcolm soon tells her that a little girl that used to play with Brahms was found dead in the woods when they were children. Could have Brahms had something to do with it?

Earlier in the movie you find out that Greta left her home in Montana because of her ex boyfriend Cole. Cole somehow gets the address of the home, and Greta finds him in the house. He plans on taking her home, but she does not want to go with him. He spends the night on the couch, but finds a cryptic bloody message reading "Get Out"
above his head. He blames the message on the doll. He then proceeds to smash Brahms head on a chair. Huge mistake.

The room starts shaking and a mirror shatters, revealing an opening in the wall. As the group looks at the hole, Greta hears her name being called from inside the hole. Then an arm comes out from the opening, and out comes Brahms. He was never really dead after all.

Cole tries to be the hero and ends up getting his throat slashed by Brahms, using a piece of glass from the dolls face. Brahms then persues Greta and Malcolm, chasing them through paths on the inside of the walls of the house. They reach an opening but they both can't get through safely, so Malcolm tries to stop Brahms while Greta escapes. She makes it out but Malcolm got attack by Brahms. Malcolm survives. As she gets away from the house, Greta hears Brahms saying to come back. So she decides to go back in and confront him.

When she gets inside she plans to kill Brahms, so she treats him like a boy and says that he must go to bed. So she puts Brahms to bed but will not give him a kiss goodnight because that was his punishment. So when he grabs Greta and asks for a kiss again, she stabs him. He then pins her and picks her up against the wall. Her last effort was to stab him one more time in the chest. So she does it again and he finally falls, apparently dead on the floor. So Greta goes and finds Malcolm and they both leave the house for good.

But at the very end you see Brahms putting back together the doll that had been smashed. And the last shot is just a close up of the dolls face. A pretty creepy way to end the movie if you asked me.

Pros:

• Lauren Cohan and Rupert Evans played each of their parts perfectly, showing great emotion throughout the entire movie.
• The cinematography was beautiful. The shots of the mansion were shot perfectly, and even the the shots of the gate were set up really well.
• The twist of Brahms being alive was unexpected and pretty terrifying.
• Great use of practical effects.

Cons:

• It took a little while before the movie started to pick up speed.
• It didn't have as many jumps scares as I thought it would. Could have had a few more.

Now on a scale from A to F, I give "The Boy" a....... B+!

Overall I thought this movie really proved itself as a horror movie. It brought a lot of great characters together for a good story. The acting was very good by all of the cast members. Even though it wasn't the scariest movie ever, it still utilized scary aspects to keep you on the edge of your seat. When Brahms came out from the wall, that was actually pretty creepy because the actor played him perfectly.

Thank you for reading guys and come back anytime for more information on all that is horror movies!

Horror For Life New Movie Blog

Hi everyone, my name is Nathan Cram am a sophomore studying Sports Journalism at the New England School of Communications. I am taking a web reporting class and my teacher told us to make a blog. So I decided to make a blog about one of my favorite topics... horror movies!

Horror movies have been around since the early 20's. Silent movies like Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari were some of the first horror movies and they paved the way for movies like Psycho, Night of he Living Dead, Friday the 13th and hundreds of other movies that have have sent chills down our spines.

I will talk about a lot of different topics. Things like "Top 10" posts or movie reviews about new and exciting horror movies that I have seen recently. I may also do reviews on movies that you guys are interested in hearing about. If I haven't heard of them, I will make an effort to watch and comment on whatever creepy movies you guys are interested in. I hope you all enjoy!
