Sad Saturday

Hello Friends, 

I know it's late but hey, what can you do?

Tonight I am watching A Haunting At Silver Falls and the newest remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre let me just say.....both are terrible

AHASF is like if The Killing, The Vampire Diaries and a lifetime movie had a baby. From terrible acting to a god awful script ( literally someone said "a door is just expressing itself") it was doomed from the start. A girl from LA moves to Silver Falls and she finds this ring in the woods, puts it on (like you do) and now has visions. Go figure! She starts hallucinating and blah blah blah. The ghosts try and have her find their killer. 

Don't waste your time on this! Everyone is guilty and everyone is freaking out. I don't even know fully what this is supposed to be, if its a scary movie or a thriller or suspense film but its awful.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre number 414. Ed Gein. Enough said. So many films based on his life and his....extracurricular 

activities. However the opening of this particular remake was pretty good. From the backstory to the weird picture music. However, I understand Trey Songz is in the film but I could have done without his music. Or the overly dramatic cinematography, like the moody car window shot.  The film was campy as to be expected and yet it still was terrible. The I-don't -know-where-I-came-from song and dance to the amplified stereotypes,it was just too much. The script was filled with cliches left and right and unfortunately the actors couldn't carry the material. 

Now hear this, the reason the first Texas Chainsaw was so scary, wasn't because it was gory or overly campy, it was because you never saw what actually happened to these people! As an audience you saw the before and after but never the actual injury! This is what's missing from horror films nowadays! Let the audience create the image, subtlety is never a bad thing. 

Per my Saturday night recommendations here's what you'll need:

Back up movies because these movies suck!

Popcorn

Candy

Aspirin if you end up watching these movies

Thanks folks for reading! Keep watching and get scared!!!
