On the lighter side-Movies-Dark days of Night: Dark days
This is the latest (number 2) installment in the Dark Days of Night series, although it went straight to DVD and did not see the light of day in theaters. It just continues on the saga on the last survivor of the first series who wants to avenge the death of her husband and the rest is you know it is the killing of the vampires’ mission. Just another saga of the vampire facination of the horror movies. I don’t know how long will the film makers keep on churning out these kinds of movies before they find an original concept or some original writers and take some risks with unknown actors and bring out a real true horror movie. Not Recommended.
On the lighter side-Movies- A nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
Here we go again. Hollywood seems to have run out of ideas I guess that is why they are making remakes of the movies long dead and gone. This seems to be the case here too as Freddy comes back to haunt the kids and put them to permanent sleep. Bloody movie with no redeeming value other than if you want to keep your score of the movies high, watch this sorry excuse of a movie. Although it made money (they just suckered more helpless kids and adults to watch this remake) , other Not Recommended
On the lighter side-Movies-Resident Evil: Afterlife
Another entry into the Zombie Apocalypse saga finding Milla Jovovich traveling to a promised land (this time in Los Angeles) where they will be safer from Zombies and instead again battling another horde of them. I watched it in 2D instead of the 3D and you can see that I missed most of the effect which were enhanced specifically for 3D theaters. But still it is nonstop action packed movie with few hints of horror than action. Highly Recommended. But if you are not a fan of Horror/Zombie/Action then you stay away from it.
On the lighter side-Movies-George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead (2010)
Another in the long running series started in 1968 and continuing up til 2010 (and I don’t know how many more are in the pipeline). This one takes place on an Island where there is a feud going on between two families. One family wants to kill all the Zombies and the other one keep them lock up and don’t kill them. This Island is supposed to be free from Zombie plaque affecting since the only way to get in or out is through the Sea. But as it happens in a movie, the plaque did not get restricted to the Mainland and ultimately it started to affect the protected inhabitants of the Island. Well in between this story there is the usual Zombie killing. Just does not shock me anymore but I keep on seeing these movies for dumbness. Maybe I should switch to the Italian Old Zombie movies for Shock and Awe factor. Not Recommended
