Scream

Halloween is just around the corner and that means haunted houses, corn mazes, and my personal favorite Scary Movies. If you haven't already noticed I have been reviewing a lot of scary movies in this month of October. This is partly because it is Halloween season but also because I just really love scary movies. Scream would have to be a classic. This was one of the first scary movies I ever watched.

The movie starts out with Drew Barrymore at her house making popcorn and watching a scary movie. She gets a phone. Wrong number, she hangs up. But the caller keeps calling. At one point Barrymore flirts with the caller lying and saying she doesn't have a boyfriend. One call the caller says "I can see you" Barrymore gets freaked out. 

She looks to the back of the house and sees her boyfriend Steve tied up and bleeding. She gets scared and turns off the light. Casey's parents come home to see the popcorn burning on the stove and Casey no where in sight. The mother runs outside to see Casey hanging from a tree. 

The story then shifts to Sydney. Sydney goes to the same high school that Casey went too so she hears about her. The masked killer is a big deal now and everyone is a suspect. Tune in to this great scary movie now!

Devil

I watched this movie for the first time this week and it was excellent. It was scary, but not really scary. So if your terrifed of scary movies don't let that stop you from watching this movie. 

The movie starts with 5 people walking into an office building. There is an older woman, security guard, younger woman, hipster of sort guy, and a business looking man. They all step into an elevator. The elevator goes up, just like it should, then comes to an abrupt stop. Everything's fine... right? Wrong. There's 5 people stuck in the elevator, one problem one of them happens to be the devil. 

Like any normal person would, everyone is freaking out. Upstairs there are two security guards looking at the footage of all the elevators, when they see that elevator 6 has come to a halt. They try to communicate to the people in the elevator but it only works one way. They tell them that there is a someone going to try to fix it. 

Meanwhile the elevator is going bizzark, lights are turning on and off and conflict is starting to arise. When the lights turn off for a significant amount something horrible happens. After the lights turn on the young woman's back is bleeding. Looking like bite marks. The two security guards see and call the detective. 

The detective happened to be investigating a suicide in that same building. The detective arrives to a someone dead in the elevator. No ones know what is going on and you'll just have to watch the movie to find out.

Life of Pi

In honor of reading this in English, I am reviewing the movie Life of Pi. This was a very long, but good book. The book is split into 3 parts. Part 1, Pi's background, all about his life and his religious morals. Part 2, Pi's life at sea. Part 3, the interview between Pi and the 2 Japanese interviewers. The book exemplified great detail and was very entertaining to read. The movie... not so much. On a scale of 1-5 I would rate the movie a 4 not reading the book, and a 3 having read the book. In my opinion the book was way better than the movie. And I know that movies won't always be like books but they added in many things, and forgot to put in a lot of things that were  very important. For example they gave Pi a girlfriend in the movie, but she wasn't in the book. They also shortened the part when Pi is on the island and that is one of the longest and most important parts of part 2.  Anyways the movie was mediocre and I wouldn't watch it again but it was worth watching

The Conjuring

In honor of Annabelle coming out today I thought I would talk about the conjuring. If you didn't know Annabelle is based of the Conjuring. In the conjuring the couple who perform the excorsisms have a room where they keep all the items that have held the evil spirits. One of these items is the doll Annabelle. You also see Annabelle when the couple are at their seminar they speak about the people who owned Annabelle. 

The conjuring was a fantastic movie in my opinion, it was a scary movie although sister watched it who is terrifed of all scary things and did not get scared. This movie is about a family who moves into a new house where bad things had happened before. After many incidents including strange marks on the mother, forces pulling the children in their sleep, and the family pet being left dead, the family decides to call the couple to come help them.

Now I'm not going to tell you what happens next because that would just be a spoiler, but it's a great movie and I would recommend it to anyone who lives a good ole scary movie.
