Wondering What to Watch Tonight?

Are you tired of the same scary movies? Well here are two movies very different from each other that you may or may not have heard of that are, in my opinion pretty good. 

The first one called “Frozen” directed by Adam Green. If you are a snowboarder or skier in need of a good “what if” situation, then this movie is perfect for you. The plot consists of three friends who decide to take a final trip up the mountain when suddenly the lift stops and they find themselves stuck roughly 30 meters off the ground. This movie kept me rooted to my seat as they had to figure out what do to next. With semi gore and a very unique plot line with fairly good actors/actresses I would rate this movie a 9 out of 10. I don’t rate this as a 10 because it takes something that gives me nightmares to rate as a 10 but as a 9 it definitely had me question whether I will ever get onto a ski lift again especially if it’s the last run of the night. So now I ask you have you seen this movie? If so what was your favorite part? If you haven’t seen it and this summary grabs your attention I would suggest that you watch it.

 Another scary movie that is not typically main stream but is fairly good is "House on Haunted Hill" directed by William Castle this movie is not quite like “Frozen” but is still fairly good. This movie was made in 1959 and is a black and white film. Not exactly a scary movie in today’s standards but the story line is unique. In today’s world of high tech and realistic gore this film is more interested in the plot than the effects. In fact this movie might make you laugh but as a classic film I would rate this a 7 out of 10. Mainly because this movie made me laugh and every now and then we must enjoy something a little different that is not the “typical” scary movie. This movie currently is streaming on Netflix.com So let me know what you think. Do you like this movie? If not why? 

What's Your Favorite Nightmare?

If you have not seen any of these movies and are a scary movie fan than I would suggest that you watch this set of movies asap.

As far as movies go this one is one that today you may laugh at but in the 1980's this slasher film haunted children's dreams and were extremely popular. IMDB rated the movie 7.5 out of 10 based on votes from well over 66,000 users. See link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087800/. The unique story line written and directed by Wes Craven, of a child molester who came back and continued to haunt/murder the children in their sleep created a whole new perception of what the horror genre could become.

If you’re interested in movies with teens being chased by a mass murderer that can kill you while you sleep (which by the way is a difficult thing not to do) then I suggest this movie as well as the sequels all of which have different twists on what is the dream world and how it can be manipulated for better or worse. This movie is somewhat gory and there is instances of intense eeew moments but overall is a movie that will come back to you…even while you sleep.

Personally I rate this movie as a 8 out of 10 because of the unique storyline and Robert Englund’s great acting skills at making Freddy Krueger become one of the best traditional icons as far as horror killers go. Why not a 10 you ask? The acting of Nancy as done by Heather Langenkamp could have been improved. Watching the movie again her facial expressions hardly change accept in instances of extreme hostility. The remake, in my opinion, did help with this slightly but then clearly lacked in the original’s storyline as well as Jackie Haley’s acting of Freddy who could not replace the original creepy grinning, chuckling version of Freddy Krueger which lessened the frightening experience amongst today’s standards. FYI the original as rated by users on IMDB was rated a 5.1 with just over 31,000 votes. See link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1179056/.
Now I want to here from you what do you think about the Nightmare on Elm Street movies? What are your favorite moments that make you scream or even laugh?
