Day#6 (Apr.23) The Loved Ones (2009) [ATTACH=CONFIG]1879[/ATTACH] IMDB Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1316536/
"we can't hear youuuuuu"
This is an Australian film, written and directed by Sean Byrne. He directed that self help movie "The Secret" a few years back, and this seems to be his first attempt at a full length film. It starts out with a car crash, caused by a bloody man standing in the road. Fast forwards to six months later, where Brent and his friend are discussing prom dates at school. A girl named Lola asks his to the dance, but he politely rejects her, stating that he already has a date. We find out that his dad died in the crash, and he's pretty messed up about it. He goes for a walk with his dog, and is beat up and kidnapped. The rest of the movie is based around him tied to a chair at Lola's, at her personal prom.
I really enjoyed this movie, the characters are extremely well rounded and the suspense is fantastic. The story is good, and the acting's great.
Good amount of gore, a bit of T&A and a great soundtrack! Loved it!
Day # 7 The shrine (2010) [ATTACH=CONFIG]1880[/ATTACH] IMDB Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1341710/
This is a Canadian film, written and directed by Jon Knautz, who didn't do the bet job. It's a story about a few american reporters, who go looking for a story in a small town in Poland. They think there's a religious group using human sacrifice, so they look into it deeper. They come across a strange patch of thick fog, that never moves. In the centre of this fog is a shrine, that seems to make anyone who looks at it see monsters. I didn't really like this one, so I don't have much to say. It was boring, bad acting and recycled plot. A disgrace to Canadian horror in my opinion.
