It's open!

Hello everyone!

Welcome on this blog, where i review some of the horror movies that i watch.
I'd like to specify that the movies that i review are the reflection of my own taste in horror movies, also you won't find any zombies, horny teenagers and serial killers or giant crocodiles/flies. What i prefer are ghosts and unexplained/unexplainable phenomenons, movies that would make you look behind your shoulder to check if you are alone in your room and turn the light on to be sure that the shadow you saw was just a part of your imagination.

A previous version of this blog existed in French (because yes, i'm French, and that would explain the grammar mistakes incomming!), however i'm not going to translate all of them, simply listing the notes that i gave to them in this post!

-------------------------


* Reincarnation (Rinne): Japanese horror movie. Scored 5/10 because it makes us want to watch it until the end. Otherwise it's not really scary.

* Chakushin Ari: another Japanese movie, which has an American remake called One Missed Call. Scored 7/10 because of some scenes pretty scary/disgusting!

* Paranormal Activity: at first i didn't want to watch it, everyone was talking about it and i know how horror blockbusters are... one word: lame! However i've been pretty surprised by this one, in a good way! I gave it a 7/10.

* Paranormal Activity 2: same thing, 7/10!

* The Dark Hour: a Spanish movie. Spanish people are generally good at horror movies, but this one was lame. 3/10

* The Haunting in Connecticut: one of my favourite of all time. This one is among the "Emotiorror", mixing emotion and horror, making you attached to the main characted and scared by what happens. I gave it a 9,5/10, because perfection doesn't exist, and highly recommend it!

* Km 31: a Mexican horror movie, deadly tacos attacking!...nah, kidding, a ghost movie but, sadly, badly directed. Good special effects, nice story, but annoying actress and everything is boring, except for the scary parts. I gave it a 6/10 and gave it the "too bad" title, because it's almost good.

* Fragiles: another spanish movie, realized by Jaume Balaguero, who realized several of my favourite horror movies. And another Emotiorror, really touching and creepy. A highly recommended 9,75/10!

* The Last Exorcism: ... well i hope it's the last. When a movie has such a low budget that the possessed girl has to be a gymnast to look like being possessed, it doesn't give anything good! I gave it a lame 4/10.

* EXTE - Hair extensions: yes, it's the real title. And another Japanese movie! If some of you are familiar with Japanese ghost stories, you should know that they love them with long black hair. Somehow they managed to make a movie with cursed hair! It's not an awesome but easy to watch, 6/10!

* The Unborn: at first it looks like a "horny teenager horror movie" but it's a bit more mature than expected. Plus Gary Oldman starring (what? he's a good actor!), there are a couple of scary/creepy scenes that made me give it at 8/10!

* Case 39: Bridget Jones meets scary things. A really nice movie, not that scary, but kinda intriguing. What happens in the beginning makes you wonder what can happen in the rest of the movie... 7/10!

Alright that's all for the recap!

I wish you a nice reading and a nice watching if some of the movies i'll be talking about in this blog will interest you!
