Image via WikipediaHeart-warming vampire films? Have you seen: "Let me In"? SHE (Chloe Moretz) is the cutest thing in cinema. And, somehow, the plot all makes sense. Based on the Swedish film "Let the Right One In" (which I watched first). I do like the American version better.
It's just kinda eerie and fun when you end up empathizing with the (so-called) villain.
And she leaves some blood on his 12 year old lips. Mmm.
AND... what a ridiculously fantastic ending! For movie lovers everywhere. Not just Horror Fanatics. BRAVO!!!

Horror Movie Reviews: The Original "Hellraiser", 1987 (Classic Horror Movies Films)
Hellraiser (Image via RottenTomatoes.com)Best OOEY GOO-Ey YUCKy horror movie ever! The original "Hellraiser".
Yeah, the Alien Series... they were ooey gooey and SCARY. This one may not be as scary (now) but, geez, is it CREEPY...still!
And that makes it so much fun. Imagine being on the Special Effects Make-up crew! WOW. Good job, guys. It still holds up after all these years.
The guy that wore the "goo" suit... I wonder just how much he got paid.Was it fun or just disgustingly GROSS?!
Best (Stupid) Lines:
"They'll never find us... not in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!"
"It's Uncle Frank... Come to Daddy!"
By the way, this is Clive Barker's directorial debut.
P.S. Was SHE really considered a Hottie back in '87? WTF.
AND like the demons can't see that he is DOWNSTAIRS?! "Demons to some. Angels to others." Yeah, right.
I love how HORROR movies get less HORRIFIC as time goes on... and Sci-Fi's get LESS SCIENTIFIC. It's one of TIME'S little gifts to us... change.
And, oh, the lovely stench of dead husks rotting in the attic. Mmm.
*I've done an autopsy. I KNOW what that SMELLS like! J. C. I hope you never have to experience it.
And, oh, the ending... DISGUSTE-MUNDO!!! Just glorious.

Best HORROR Movies: HOUSE, 1986 Comedy Humor
Image by Mirka23 via FlickrThe most HILARIOUS "Horror Movie" ever!... "House, 1986" with William Katt (had a crush on him back then).
Check out his Bio. Had no idea he'd been keeping so busy all this time:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001411/maindetails
This movie is so FUNNY (AND even scary at times!), I laughed so hard. Haven't had so much fun since "Poltergeist".
The token HOT GIRL reminds me of Bo Derek in "10". Ahh, the 80's... Definitely had a swim suit like that. But I'm sure I didn't look quite the same in it.
The flashbacks to Vietnam are a bit odd. But, whatever. If you like this genre, you'll have a great time.
I know. I know. THIS IS HOW I'M SPENDING MY XMAS EVE. ; )
P.S. George Wendt (of Cheers) adds to the fun. And if you've never seen "Night Court" (a TV series) with Richard Mull (also in this movie), check it out. It was awesome humor in its time.
Available now on Netflix Instant Play (I receive no compensation for this endorsement).

Horror Movie Reviews: Dracula II: The Ascension
Jason Scott Lee (Image via RottenTomatoes.com)I thought I was so OVER vampire movies. Since 1983 and The Hunger, I'd pretty much seen 'em all. But... this one (suggested by Netflix) blew me away... a whole new twist. Very unexpected. I must say I enjoyed it a great deal.
The best part is that the NEW Van Helsing (aka Vampire Hunter) is a Church sanctioned Jason Scott Lee: most famous for his part as Bruce Lee in "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story".
He is (as always) extraordinary in his acts of dispension (ie. ridding the world of the vampire menace). SPOILER: He decapitates with an unusual blade... and a few extraordinary powers of his own.
I mentioned once before that I have this thing for Asian men (ever since my summer studying karate in Japan and discovering Masao Kusakari... a half American, half Asian actor). LOL. He was the star of a Japanese version of Starsky and Hutch (circa 1977). Whateverthehelll happened to that poster?

Movie Reviews: "Organizm" Sci Fi Horror Films
Cover of Organizm
This movie's fairly recent, 2008, and is probably a B+ film, but I found it quite entertaining actually. In fact, I was on the edge of my seat at times... there were moments when it was even AWESOME (like when they find the tank and also the opening scene with the bullet that pierces both the BLANK and the BLANK)! Gruesome.And don't miss the BLOOD scene. OMG. You'll know what I'm talking about when you get there. But, really, did we need to see her breasts? Plus... the closing sequence is delightfully grotesque. All in all it was a bit cliche but still a whole lotta fun.
The lead character (the talented Johnathon Schaech as Frank Sears) is a look-a-like for Peter Gallagher (from one of my favorite films of all time: "Summer Lovers"). For Peter Gallagher images CLICK HERE.
I haven't talked about it in a while. So I just wanted to mention that, although Sci Fi/Horror Movie Reviews and fitness may seem a world apart. They're actually not. It was upon my PTSD counselor's prodding that I began watching horror films. I had been avoiding them... anything scary at all. But she insisted that it would be good for my mental health, as "desensitization" therapy.
And indeed it has been. I am less easily startled and have fewer "trigger words" (particular words that would set off a panic attack/episode). I have become desensitized with the added bonus of discovering that I really enjoy this genre for its entertainment value.

Copy Cat Movies: Lethal Dose & The Warriors of Terra Sci-Fi Horror Movie Reviews
Image via Wikipedia
Don't let the title fool you. I thought that The Warriors of Terra (2005) was an awesome Sci-Fi Horror flick. It really was scary.Then I discovered the Brit version (Lethal Dose). Of course, in my American arrogance, I assumed that it was a British knock-off. But, alas, it was the American version that was the knock-off as the Brit version was made in 2003. Hmm.
Anyway, they're remarkably similar and yet so very different at the same time. I have to admit, I liked the American one better. The special effects, the more realistic theme, et.al. I think it was just better.
What do you think?
Can you think of any other fun Copy Cat duos to watch?
Warriors of Terra Clip (I liked a couple of other Trailers better on Youtube but they had been "disabled". Search for yourself on YouTube to see them.)
And a Behind the Scenes look at "Lethal Dose" with the (Keanu Reeves look-a-like) Tom Hardy:
7/21/2011
Hey, I found another 'Sneak into the lab to check out animal experiments' movie: "Man's Best Friend" starring Ally Sheedy. I'm beginning to think this a genre unto its own. And.. this one's more fun than gore.

Movie Reviews: The Warlock (Sci Fi, Super Natural, Horror)
Image via Wikipedia
I Loooove this movie! How did I ever miss it? You should know by now that I love Silly Sci Fi and Silly Horror flicks.
This one is a classic 80's horror film. So nicely done that after more than 20 years it still holds its own.
If you don't mind Satanic/Black Magic Horror you'll enjoy it immensely as I did.
Lori Singer is great. She reminds me of the early Daryl Hannah in Blade Runner... a delightful Vatta (Ayerveda for Hollywood's favorite type: tall and thin).
Best Line: "Let your attention lie before you not beside you."
P.S. I abhor the FACT that many innocents died in the name of Witchcraft but, for modern day stress relief, this movie is kinda fun.
