A mix between Village of the Damned and The Brood (0 more)

Damned Brood

The Children- is a excellent film. It reminded me so much of both "Village of the Damned" and "The Brood". Its a mix of those two movies and its excellent.

The plot: Two families gather at an upscale English estate in late December. Elaine (Eva Birthistle) and her sister, Chloe (Rachel Shelley), along with their husbands and children, are set for a weekend of family bonding and winter fun. But when they arrive, one of the children becomes sick, and all of the children exhibit strange behavior. The adults don't realize the disturbing truth until it's too late: The children have contracted a disease that has turned them into brutal, psychotic killers.

Its violent, gory, horrorfying, terrorfying, scay and overall excellent.

Kudos

The grand-daddy of the Marvel TV shows (no longer canon?)

The grand-daddy of the Marvel TV shows which, while it started out connected to the mainline cinema offerings, eventually split off and became its own thing somewhere after the events of Thor: The Dark World (at least, that's the last time I remember their being a direct correlation from the events shown in the films!); definitely after the time of 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' (which is where the show suddenly 'took off').

It's also hard to rate as a whole, with some season better than others, and with the alter seasons themselves often split into 'mini-seasons'.

For me, the best season was probably either the one with the Framework, or with Ghost Rider (finally done properly!).

Stuggle To Survive

Wind Chill- is a good horror flick, that does have twist and turns all thoughout the flick. Its slow at first, but it does get intresting in the middle and end. Emily Blunt is really good in this film.

The plot: Just before their university campus goes quiet for the winter break, a young woman (Emily Blunt) asks a classmate (Ashton Holmes) for a lift home. The two students set off on their trip and begin to get to know each other. But, when a reckless motorist drives them off the road, they find themselves stranded in the snow on a remote highway. As the night grows colder, the two are confronted by a horde of menacing apparitions -- and struggle to escape with their lives.

Its a good movie.
