The Hills Have Eyes - 2006 remake directed by Alexandre Aja

Dead doors make for hard entry, the locks open in their own special way and the eyeballs inside the projection room appear only after a near incident leads to burning down some canisters. All accidents, all chance to waiver indemnity and a few minutes through the darkness in broad daylight back again at the start of the card.

Very much like the waffling of empty popcorn, the opening scenes of The Hills Have Eyes works a magic to pass over quickly. Quicker still when timing transport and breaking through gates makes for a tardy appointment.

The Village

Scary film? Only if you're scared by films. Or by malevolent ideas. The Village is another film by the guy that sent shivers up my spine in that part of Signs when that creepy alien sillhouette appears on the barn. I found The Village to be completely engrossing and well, creepy. Impossible (for me) to predict where the story was headed - and rather annoying to anyone nearby to hear predictions.

It's a tale of a village surrounded by forest harbouring creatures that are unable to be spoken of/about. They disapprove of certain colours and of people of the aforementioned village venturing too far into the surrounding forests. So the people go about their business, (which is uncertain - I think it's primarily milking cows or frollicking) and hope the creatures go about their business (mainly of growling and looking scary) without too much interaction.

Prefuse 73 - One Word Extinguisher

prescript: the horror express review was cruelly excised much like an employer would do to a redundant staff member because it was deemed to be of low standards.

The first time I heard any Prefuse 73 was when he (it's one guy (Scott Herren), not a band) released an album called Vocal Studies and Uprock Narratives. I'd never heard of Prefuse 73 before; I was just drawn to the album cover, which looks like this:

Horror Express

I originally bought this DVD as a going away gift for Jimmy when he was making his way to Africa.

I presented it to him at a friend’s New Year’s Party and I think he could automatically tell how crappy the movie was and how little I paid for it. Both of these factors caused Jimmy to ‘forget’ it at the party, where I was forced to rescue it.

The Ring

Initially, I was expecting this film to be a little X-Files; investigate a mystery and see what's killing the kids. A few minutes in, I likened it more to Denzel's Fallen; the investigator(s) had to unravel the mystery or they themselves would surely perish.

About ten minutes after this realised it was one of the scariest films I've seen in a while; not 'teen-slasher' scary, but more of a Kubrik/Lynch scary.
