My Comment:
That was the worst horror comedy I've ever watched. From the beginning of this movie, I know that it was going to be a failure. I was hoping that it was going to be a funny smart dumb movie, which jokes weren't lame. That's what the trailer told me! I just could not believe that a horrible movie could get through to the theater. I know it was a dumb movie where all people acted exaggeratedly, but this was not exaggerating, it was a bad acting.

My Comment:
I felt deja vu. I've seen movies like this elsewhere. But I was still excited seeing this kind of movie again. I couldn't get my eyes off of this movie, afraid that I would lose important scenes (Every scenes were very important). It was pretty scary but it was not because the ghosts or the magical things, it was because the feeling of excitement of what will be the next scenes and the twisting plot. The only problem that makes me dissatisfied was only the ending. The ending was predictable and kind of boring. Overall, it was a great movie!

The Gravedancers (2006)

Plot:
After a night of drunken exploits, Allison, Harris, and Kira are chased and terrorized by the ghosts of a child pyromaniac, an ax murderer, and a rapist

My Comment:
I knew that this movie was going to be a horrible movie since the first scene. I just couldn't feel any goosebumps from the very first. Well, the story was not very bad, but the casts suck. I think that the director tried to find new talented actors but failed. What made it worse, the ghosts were terrible. It looked very fake and I felt like I was in a amusement park's haunted house. The only good horror in this movie was the scary shocking sound.

Resident Evil (2002)

Plot:
A special military unit fights a powerful, out-of-control supercomputer and hundreds of scientists who have mutated into flesh-eating creatures after a laboratory accident
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120804/

My Comment:
For a horror action movie, it's not that scary. I rather say, it's more a kick-ass movie than a horror movie. Perhaps when this movie was published in 2002, everybody would get scared. But, if you watch it nowadays, you won't get goosebumps. Because there are already many movies that talked about zombies, life after death. This movie might the pioneer of those movies. Action in this movie was great, Monsters not. Overall, it was okay.

My Comment:
Wow, this is what I call a good movie. Full suspense, action and mystery. From the beginning of this movie, i already felt the creepy sensation. The actors, Willem Dafoe, Ethan Hawke and Michael Dorman were tremendous, they acted as if it was real. this movie reminds me of "I Am Legend".

Let Me In (2010)

Plot:
A bullied young boy befriends a young female vampire who lives in secrecy with her guardian.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1228987/

My Comment:
When I saw Abby, I thought, I've seen somewhere, but where? She's the one who played Kick-Ass. And I wow-ed, she played completely different characters, and she's good. This movie's creeping me out. I hate horrors, but since I was curious about IMDb 25 top movies 2010, I was determined to watch. Even though it's scary, I could predict what would be the end. My conclusion is that vampires have their own charm and no one can resist that including me. It's hard for me to resist vampire such as Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Robert Pattinson. I wouldn't let a vampire in except it is one of them.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0492044/

My Comment:
Gee! It was pretty scary! What made me scared was that movie was based on true story, that was kinda bizarre. I'm not into horror movies, but i can tell which one is good or otherwise. This one is pretty good actually, made me scared enough. However, in my opinion that this movie was too exaggerated at some scenes from the beginning of the movie. Such as, the ghost suddenly appeared in the mirror (They hadn't noticed the ghost) and too much shocking sound. The story was appealing though

My Comment:
It was scary, and i got shocked so many times during this movie...
The idea of the story was brilliant which was adapted from Japanese movie..
However, I like the Japanese version better, it was scarier and the ghost was like Japanese traditional ghost, and it matched the set

My Comment:
I never like Horror movies..., but this one was exceptional
From all horror movies I've seen, this one looks real
The casts were not very famous, so i was wondering weather this movie was the real video or not..
It's a good idea that the director didn't present the ghost, made me curious...

Well, nice work for a low budget movie

My Comment:
Lack of trusts....
I would be like that if the world is full of zombies...
But killing Bill Murray without hesitation, that was weird, kind of funny though...
But i got a good point from this movie, is that we have to look for each other...
We have to care to others...
