[Rec]³: Génesis (2012)
Such a disappointment
When I watched Rec 1 back in 2007 I got such a dose of fear that I almost s**t my pants. In a strange kind of way, that day is quite special to me. And that is what you want from a horror movie, that why horror movies should be made. Then the sequel came in 2009. I didn't like how they explained the infection with religion. I still can not understand how the writers could go with such a cliché. But they still kept the original form of the first movie. The Blair witch project inspired camera action witch worked so well in the first movie made Rec 2 a good sequel. And then this year they made Rec 3. And they turned it to a typical Hollywood boring horror movie. I don't want to talk about the story, plot and dialogs, because I think it's pointless. They are bad and stupid. And the biggest mistake. They made a movie. The first two ones it looked so real and the feel of reality made them fresh, special and scary. Because they changed that, Rec 3 feels fake. It feels like you're watching a movie, a bad movie. I hope that the makers of Rec 3 realize that they destroyed the whole reputation this series got with the first two films. And it's going to be a hard job getting this reputation back!
Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2 (2011)
Way better then the first one.
I watched this movie just because Danielle Harris is in it. I wasn't very impressed with the first one, because acting was terrible and the whole movie didn't have the right "groove". So I didn't expect very much from this one. But I was pleasantly surprised. The acting was on a much higher level, the script is well written and it opens many questions, which hopefully will be answered in the next one. The killings are technically better made and the whole movie has that intense feeling. So this is one o the best slasher movies made in the last few years and I'm now waiting to see what will they do in the next one. At the end I want to apologize the makers for not seeing the movie in theater. I had to download it because I'm from a country where horror genre isn't very popular for our distributors.
Trick 'r Treat (2007)
Halloween guidebook!
Trick'r treat is a guidebook for how to survive Halloween. The message of the movie is that we see Halloween like a good way to get drunk and have sex. We forget why our ancestors celebrate Halloween. They celebrate it because they want to protect themselves from evil spirits. The evil in movie is shown in four different ways. Dead children, werewolves, serial killer and pumpkin kid, who is like a Halloween guardian and like Inquisition he's hunting the "heretics" and turning them in to believers. The film is fresh and unique. A lot of people compare this movie with Halloween. I think that that comparison is wrong. They have nothing in common unless the holiday(Halloween). But Trick'r treat is one of the best horror movies in last few years!
10/10
Halloween II (2009)
good story and great ending!
Rob Zombie did a good job whit this movie. I know a lot of people will disagree whit me but I like the movie because Rob Zombie present us his idea of Halloween 2. A lot of people expect a remake to 1981 Halloween II. But Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 is a different vision of Michael Myers and why he is a psychopath. His dead mother presents whats happening in his head. So in a way Rob Zombie made Myers more human. I like how he transformed Dr.Loomis in to a celebrity so the character presents what is happening whit people when they become famous and that their words can destroy some people lives. But the film has some problems. The camera is sometimes to fast and it's shaking too much. Also the first 45 minutes of the film is too slow not boring but too slow. But than the movie transforms in a good thriller. Than comes the spectacular finish that shows the connection between sister and brother(Laurie and Michael)! Beceause of a slow start and too fast camera in some parts of the film I give Halloween 2 7/10.
