Absurd plot
Stands the test of time
I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey.
It's hard to describe a movie like Rocky Horror. A musical, sci-fi, horror, comedy?!? Well yes, but that doesn't do it justice. It is an experience..... no, I mean it. Ask the thousands of fans who still flock to midnight showings, dressed up as their favorite characters, ready to do the time warp again. So why to we enjoy this adventure of Brad Majors and his fiancee Janet Weis? Because! We don't need to explain ourselves to you. So, come up to the lab, and see what's on the slab. I see you shiver with antici............ pation

The East Side Kids Meet Dracula
Spooks Run Wild- is a funny entertaining horror movie starting the East Side Kids and of course Bela Lugosi as the creepy man/villian.
The plot: The East Side Kids are sent to summer camp, and shortly after arriving they encounter a mysterious man named Nardo (Bela Lugosi). Naturally, the Kids assume Nardo is the "monster killer" they've been warned about. Their theory is strengthened when they see Peewee (David Gorcey), seemingly risen from the dead after getting shot, walking around Nardo's house in a zombie-like trance. The Kids take it upon themselves to capture Nardo before he can kill anyone else.
Like i said its funny entertaining and over a good black and white comedy horror film.

Pointless Reboot of a classic
So yet another pointless reboot of a beloved horror franchise turns out to be a load of crap.
This film lacked any of the originality,suspense or sheer fun of the original.There was very little horror in it,just gore for the sake of gore.As for the "new" chucky well where to start...first what was mark hamil thinking lending his voice to this pile of crap,he made chucky sound like a constipated tellytubby and that bloody annoying song he kept singing really got on my nerves.
Just everything about this movie was horrible,thank god we still have the original chucky to come back soon in a tv series.

Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated Frankenstein (1931) in Movies
May 20, 2020
Look! It’s moving. It’s alive. It’s alive!
Frankenstien- a classic unversial monster horror movie with Boris Karloff as the monster. Him, Bela, Claude and Lon are the classic monsters. Than came Vincent, Christopher and Peter. Than came Robert, Kane, Tony and Tobin. Over the decedes people played monsters, but it started with the oringal monsters.
The plot: This iconic horror film follows the obsessed scientist Dr. Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) as he attempts to create life by assembling a creature from body parts of the deceased. Aided by his loyal misshapen assistant, Fritz (Dwight Frye), Frankenstein succeeds in animating his monster (Boris Karloff), but, confused and traumatized, it escapes into the countryside and begins to wreak havoc. Frankenstein searches for the elusive being, and eventually must confront his tormented creation.
It Was named the 87th greatest movie of all time on 100 Years... 100 Movies. The line "It's alive! It's alive!" was ranked as the 49th greatest movie quote in American cinema. The film was on the ballot for several of AFI's 100 series lists, including AFI's 10 Top 10 for the sci-fi category, 100 Years... 100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition), and twice on 100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains for both Henry Frankenstein and the Monster in the villains category.
The film was ranked number 56 on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Thrills, a list of America's most heart-pounding movies. It was also ranked number 27 on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments. Additionally, the Chicago Film Critics Association named it the 14th scariest film ever made.
Its a classic excellent phenomenal monster horrror movie.

Great cast (6 more)
Brilliant thriller
Great acting
Build up of tension
Amazing third act
Genuine character build up
Phenomenal writing and directing
Fantastic movie
I was looking forward to The Gift for many reasons, including I love Joel Edgerton and believe he is anot extremely underrated actor. I love Jason Bateman, I love horror and more specifically thriller movies, and I love it when smaller movies get great critical success.
So when I was watching this I instantly fell in love with it as it is just a fantastic and beautiful piece of filmmaking. More people need to see this and appreciate it. The thriller aspects are executed to perfection and there really isn't anything I don't like about this movie. The 3rd act is one of my favourite endings to a movie ever and I strongly believe it deserves much more credit than it already has. Joel Egerton not only directs and writes this but he stars in it too which is just brilliant so please go and check this movie out

Absolutely the last gasp of the original X Men movie franchise essentially gets a dump release, which to be honest it deserves. Five young people with burgeoning mutant powers are confined in a spooky old hospital; they variously squabble and bond while creepy things happen around them.
Interesting idea to do a horror movie using Marvel characters: the problem is that this one isn't very frightening (flat characters and too much bland CGI); the script and performances aren't strong enough to support the introspective tone and inert feel of the movie. Plus, the story is built around a conceit which is very, very easy to guess if you're familiar with these characters. A couple of half-decent performances and the climax (when it most resembles a conventional superhero movie) acquires a certain momentum, but it feels very drab and pointless. Maybe the corporate politics that have kept the film stuck on a shelf for years haven't helped, but I doubt this could ever have been much more impressive.

I've been wanting to see this movie all year and I'm glad I did. Am a fan of Edgar wright's movie from shaun of the dead to Scott pilgrim vs the world but this one is his attempt at straight horror and it is brilliant movie. Everything about it the music I can't get downtown out of my head the two leads are Brilliant Anna Taylor- joy can't do no wrong and thomasin mckenzie as elloise just as exceptional also got to mention the suppling cast matt Smith big fan since doctor who days good but I mustn't forget Diana Rigg in her last role who was such a 60s icon who will be missed. There is so much about this movie the 60s setting London itself the way they cut between the actress by showing them in the mirror at the same time. Overall I would say this is one of Edgar wright's best works highly recommend go out and see it also contender for my film of the year
