Blair Witch (2016)
This was as bad as the first one!
This movie was doomed from the beginning. It was predictable, the characters were non- engaging, and it wasn't even scary. Folks, please don't waste your money, or time on this "film". The "witch", well, let's just say that the design was pretty poor. At least you saw a glimpse of her in this movie, which is more than the original offered. But she wasn't even scary! I was literally so bored during the movie, that I started to drift off to sleep. Not to mention that there were only 6 people in the entire theater! This is one of the worst "found footage" movies that I've seen thus far. Grave encounters was a MUCH scarier movie than this one was. Better luck next time...
Grave Encounters (2011)
Scary without being gory.
This movie is frightening in the truest sense of the word. I am a huge fan of the horror genre. I have seen many, many supposed "horror" films that fail to induce any sense of fright whatsoever. This film, however, scared the hell out of me! It is obvious that the director is a fan of Ghost Adventures and Ghost Hunters, as there are many similarities in the way that the reality TV show is presented, but the comparison stops there. This movie will frighten you for sure. The only complaint that I had was the gratuitous use of the "F" word. It seemed at times that every 3rd or 4th word was F***K or a variation of it. Other than that, see it with the lights out!
Sharp as Marbles (2008)
Very Boring
I won't waste your time. This movie is horrible. I appreciate good family humor like anyone else. But I don't see how this qualifies. The acting was stiff and the characters were stereotyped. The health food store guy "Abdul" was probably the worst actor in the entire film, at least get a real middle eastern actor instead of a poor impersonation. I guess that they were going for a Dumb and Dumber type of interaction between the two lead characters, but they couldn't pull it off. The music was OK, but is that a reason to waste your time watching this movie? No! If you value your family time, go to a park or something, but don't use your time to watch this film with them.
I can go on, but why bother. Pass on this film.
Killing Ariel (2008)
Low expectations, great results!
Wow! I went into watching this move with low expectations, since I have never heard of any of the actors, or director. Within the first ten minutes I was riveted to the screen. This is much more than a horror film in so many ways. I was thoroughly entertained with the plot, and was equally satisfied with the twists and turns that the movie took along the way to the ending. Although I was somewhat confused in a couple of parts of the movie, it eventually explained itself in a way that was gratifying without being too over indulgent. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that likes a bit of gore, dark humor, sex, and a bit of the occult in a film. The acting was very good, and the casting was spot on. Good film! Watch it!
