Ah the found footage movie. There have been dozens made but very few have been done good. This and chronicle are the only ones that I have actually enjoyed. It would be a great movie if it didn't have the found footage gimmick. With it in though the boyfriend is completely unlikeable because even when his girlfriend tells him to get rid of the camera he still keeps filming so we can still see what is happening. I will be giving the rating now because I need to get into spoilers.                                                 9/10 very good                                          Ok spoiler time because I need to talk about this. Spoilers in 5.............................,................................. 4.....………….….…………………….……..3................................................................2................................................................1................................................................ Ok spoiler time. At the end when she is possessed by the demon and kills her boyfriend she jumps towards the camera so that there can be sequels but there was another ending that they originally chose. In the original ending she killed him and then sat there until the cops came. Think it was Micah she runs at them still holding a knife and they then shoot her. I personally like that ending way better than the crappy jump scare one and I think that the movie as a whole would have been much better without three soon to be four sequels that just muddy up the story. I still enjoy the movie series but right around #4 I just stopped caring.                                                Alternate ending rating 9.5/10 Very good with a satisfying conclusion that raps up the movie very nicely.

Everybody has been saying that this movie is terrifying, and one of the scariest movies they've ever seen; so what do I think of it?            Building.                         Tension.                Lots.                            Of.               Tension.                                  I thought it was HILARIOUS! I don't see how everyone thought this movie was so scary, it was so silly and generic. You cannot say you didn't laugh at least a little when that girl was getting dragged around the room by her hair. Am I messed up(yes, yes I am(but I'm cool with that)). This movie is about a family who moves into a house and it is haunted... Oh and it's based on a true story (sound familiar yet: Amityville Horror). I will admit the beginning was pretty scary until I went home did some research and learned that Annabelle was a Raggedy Ann doll. The movie was still very good and I was invested in it but I couldn't take it very seriously because if how many horror movies I've seen, and all the cliches I saw in it. I would recommend watching this movie if you are looking for a good laugh but don't want to watch The Worlds End. beware if you don't watch many horror movies this movie could actually scare you because you won't see quite how silly it is.                                                        9/10 hilarious          

I know, I know it's a bit late *cough23dayscough* but I'm going to be doing a countdown of horror movies that I love culminating in the scariest movie I've ever seen. My first review will be the single most confusing movie I've ever seen; The Shining. It is about Jack played by Jack Nicholson(the scariest man who ever lived), a recovering alcoholic who is applying to be the maintenance man at the Overlook hotel during the winter. It is directed by Stanley Kubrick. I haven't watched any of his other movies(please don't kill me) but after watching this I am very interested in them. This movie is a slow burn but it builds up tension and a great atmosphere..... Before going completely balls to the wall crazy(man in the bear suit). It is very creepy and super trippy. I've heard things about the hotel being impossible and people just teleporting around the hotel. I would recommend watching this movie if you haven't seen it (which I doubt if you're enough of a movie nerd to be reading this review). If you want some kind of criticism I guess the beginning is a bit boring but that is just setting up the atmosphere and showing Jack's descent into madness. Oh and the kid is psychic that's kind of important.                                              9/10 the trippiest movie I've ever seen

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Throughout this entire movie there is one good joke the rest of them are either racist, homophobic, anti Semitic or all three in one steaming ball of stinking hate and bigotry. I don't think that this is worse than movie 43 though because at least it had one good joke(this joke shall remain unnamed). Avoid this movie at all costs. Don't watch it even if you are payed to. This movie is actually actively making you stupider. If I didn't have a nice sexy Alfred Hitchcock collection box set to hold onto I may have given up on film as a medium altogether.                                    1/10 a waste of space on any movie shelf!

When I said that Cabin In The Woods wasn't the scariest movie to come out in the last 5 years this is the movie that is, although it's more like 7 years since the Grudge came out. It stars Ethan Hawk as a down on his luck true crime novelist who has moved into a house where a family was murdered and then the little girl went missing. His wife is played by Juliet Rylance and his kids are played by Michael D'Addrio and Clare Foley. This movie is terrifying and it is the first movie to make me scared to turn off the lights in a long time. It's about Ethan Hawk finding a box of super eight films containing the grisly murders of families. It begins to spiral out of control as his obsession with finding a story begins to tear his family apart at the seams. This movie does horror very well by not making it in your face it creates a good atmosphere and does subtle things to scare you. It helps that Ethan Hawk is great in this movie and you really get the feeling that he is terrified. It does have a few jump scares which brings it down a bit but it is overall terrifying and very entertaining.                                                                                      9/10 terrifying

This is a pseudo horror movie written by Joss Whedon (that is as awesome as it sounds)and Drew Goddard. It is the most original horror movie since Halloween. It stars Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchinson, and Jesse Williams. It is a very good deconstruction of horror movies that gives a reason for why everyone in slasher movies are amazingly stupid. This is the best horror movie to come out in the last 5 years, not the scariest but definitely the most entertaining. I don't want to say anything else because I don't want to spoil this amazing movie.                                                                                          10/10 Almost perfect (side note: no movie is perfect(except fight club))
