Carrie review


    My review on Carrie from 1976 I really enjoy this film.  This is an example of the film being better than source material. The book, written by Stephen King, is good, the film is a classic. Carrie does have some genuine scary scenes  and unsettling moments, such as the crucifixion which is horrifying  and unforgettable and the ending which still haunts me. But it also has a lot of heart, as there are some prolific scenes, especially as Sissy Spacek's performance is so spectacular. Piper Laurie is also brilliant, and it was quite nice to see John Travolta early is his career. This is an all time. Classic horror movie that has a message about bullying and radicalism that really sets this movie from a lot of horror movies. I give Carrie a 8.5/10.

Halloween Kills review

Image
     After first viewing this movie was awesome but short and wildly different from any other Halloween movie. The brutality of Michael myers is over the top and gruesomely awesome. The  effects and deaths were really great. The acting while sometime a little cheesy was pretty great. Michael is finally a killing Beast were in other movies he kills maybe 10 people this movie ups the kill count significantly. The movie felt really short I do wish it was longer. The opening flashback was a fantastic scene that I was amazed at how well it was shot. The ending did feel a little rushed even though it could’ve been longer and fixed that . This was way better than Halloween (2018) but still doesn’t hold up to the original Halloween. Michael does feel unstoppable in this movie and he feels even more supernatural. I’ve seen it twice and I really enjoyed it both times other than a few nitpicks here and there. I really loved the silver shamrock Easter eggs with the big Halloween 3 masks. Michael’s

Jaws review

Image
            My thoughts on Jaws are that Thai movie had ruined large bodies of water for me. I love this movie though it’s combines some moments of great humor , tense scenes and some really great scares. This movie is a genuine classic horror movie it has some great acting and some awesome kills. I love the fact that you barely see the shark throughout the movie until the end it really adds to the terrifying factor. The shark is so horrifying and has a very awesome animatronic. It’s a very captivating movie with some brilliant dialogue and really good tension and suspense. This movie is almost 50 years old and it is still very scary. I love this movie and I can watch it anytime. So I’m going to give Jaws a 9/10.

The Shinning review

Image
      This movie is very  complex and very deep movie and it has so many hidden details and it really makes you think. It’s disturbing and it has many terrifying scenes that will stick with you a few days after watching this movie. Jack Nicholson really shines and he is very intimidating even when he is not his crazy self.  Stanley Kubrick is a very fantastic director and I think this is his best film. It’s not just a simple horror movie it’s a horror movie that makes you really think if things are real or they are just going crazy and lost their minds. I love the setting of the Overlook Hotel which is a character in itself. It’s a huge and ever changing maze of a building. There are stairs that lead to nowhere and hallways that change positions. I really love this movie it’s one of the greatest films ever made. I give The Shinning a 9/10.
