The Amityville Horror

I agree with Jarvie’s thesis that the average film goer is willing to suspend our disbelief. However, only to a certain extent. If one is told going into a film that it is “based on true events,” or for that matter even a historical film, the extent of a film goer’s suspension is diminished. Even though the actual events that happened are almost the minority of the content of the film. Anything that can have happened or with the potential of happening sucks the viewer in more so than a film…

Out of all the things that make me joyful, one of them is when track season starts. I love going to the track meets and competing against other people. Track is honestly my number one favorite sport. On the other hand, something that makes me feel better when i’m gloomy is knowing that all my friends are there for me. Sometimes all I need is for them to hug me tight and tell me that everything is going to be okay. Strangely enough, being around my family makes me feel extremely secure and…

Blu-ray debut of the Oscar-winning dark comedy “Death Becomes Her” in a Collector’s Edition. Although it definitely fits into the supernatural realm, many would argue Robert Zemeckis’s 1992 hit is a little tame to be released under Shout Factory’s horror umbrella.

television show Orlock still frightened me to my core. Little did I know back then that that powerful character came from one of the most significant horror films. That is a strong statement, but I believe that F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu may be one of the greatest horror films made. Ninety years later and this movie is still heavily relevant in today’s horror scene. One of the scenes that is especially disturbing to me is when the camera is in the front door of Count Orlock’s decrepit castle and he…

want to contact them for a replacement. The Orphan Killer is a newish movie (originally shot in 2011), so the audio and visual quality on the Blu-ray is perfectly acceptable. That is if you like that modern, cheesy looking low-budget look that most horror films have nowadays. As for the special features, you have some trailers, a music video and a whopping 90 minute Behind the scenes featurette. The feature is longer than the damn movie! Fans will definitely love that one, but even if you're…

Furthermore, is the sound that one habitually senses when the pulse is racing uncontrollable, whether the situation is being dealt with fear, nervousness, etc. When a person is broadly watching or reading a horror movie/story, the person’s awareness level is thrilled with wanting us to perceive what will arise later.
