Five Years, Seriously?!

I've been doing this for five years?! And I still haven't finished a whole month of blogs? Well, maybe this year we will get through all the reviews. 

Anyway, I am pretty excited about this year as there are quite a few new releases I've been meaning to watch from the last few years and I intend to include most of them on the list. I have watched a few horror movies already this year (Shhhhh, it's our little secret) and may also include some of those as special features. Lately though, I've been thinking about changing up the categories a bit. Especially because we have lost a few greats in the world of horror this year (George A. Romero and Tobe Hopper among them) and I've been thinking of featuring more of their movies this year in honor but don't really want to try to "fit" them into some category. In all honesty, I am running out of zombie movies and there are only so many new schlocky ones I can take. If you have any suggestions, I am all ears. For now, same old categories below.



            Supernatural Sunday A day to fit ghosts, witches, vampires, and anything otherworldly 
            that doesn’t necessarily fall into any of the other categories.
            Zombday In a zombie apocalypse, these slow-shuffling, brain-loving undead take over the 
            world. In Horror-tober, they take over a day. BRAAAAAAINS!
            Transcontinental Tuesday Foreign films. Japan, Korea, Spain, even Canada – wherever 
            offers up a good old scary story for viewing pleasure.
            Wacky Wednesday The fun and lighthearted. The funny and dark. The campy. Or the 
            animated and weird. Just plain "wacky". 
            Throwback Thursday Those classics I love or new favorites I want to watch again.
            Creature-Feature Friday For all things monster and creepy-crawly. 
            Slasher Saturday Slashers, thrillers, home invasions, torture porn, body horror, et al.


Again, I did not finish last year’s posts. However, I kind of like doing these breakdowns of the ratings from the previous year now. It's nice to remind myself of all the great, OK, and terrible movies I subject myself to in the span of a single month. 
   
1 – Holidays – 2.5 skulls – Creepy vignettes about various holidays. Was mostly OK.

2 – We Are Still Here 
– 3 skulls – Good haunted house vibes and throwback to horror movies of the 70s.  

3 – Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse – 1.5 skulls – Just too juvenile for my tastes. 

4 – Onibaba – 4 skulls – Superb storytelling and cinematography in this classic.

5 – Extraordinary Tales – 3 skulls – Different Poe stories animated in varying styles. Was decent. 

6 – The Babadook – 4 skulls – Psychological horror and family drama. Creepy as hell and good for a rewatch. BABA DOOK DOOK DOOOOOOK! 

7 – Grizzly – 3.5 skulls – Ridiculous prehistoric grizzly bear attacks and hunky men of the 70s. Worth it.

8 – Hush – 4 skulls – Definitely my favorite of the new ones for 2016. A nice twist on home invasion thrillers and well worth the watch. 
Foxes – 3.5 skulls – I love foxes, but they definitely have a blood-curdling scream.
Don't Move – 4 skulls – Delightfully gory and kind of funny. 
Teddy Bears are for Lovers – 4 skulls – Also delightfully funny. 
Geist – 3.5 skulls – Animated ghost story that was kind of heartbreaking.
             Red Girl – 2.5 skulls – Really short, OK. 
             Daddy – 2 skulls – Don't remember too much but that it was OK.
             Abandoned – 2.5 skulls – I gave this one an extra .5 skull compared to Daddy because I                was not expecting the ending. Otherwise OK.
             Coffer – 3.5 skulls – From the same director of the Lights Out short from last year. Good,              but not as good. 
             The Wicked – 2.5 skulls – Liked the single frame shot throughout, but meh.
             The Pride of Strathmoor – 3 skulls – Animated, decent but fairly disturbing.    

10 – Maggie 
– 3 skulls – Arnold zombie drama. Not too bad.

11 – Witching and Bitching – 3.5 skulls – Raucous and ridiculous and loved it. 

12 – The Voices – 3 skulls – Ryan Reynolds shines as a weirdo hearing voices (his pets talk to him, but not really. Because voices).
The Neon Dead – 1.5 skulls – Was the one I had originally planned to watch this night but it was so bad I had to fast forward and then watched The Voices.

13 – 2001 Maniacs – 3 skulls – Robert Englund. Cannibalistic, redneck/hillbilly/confederate ghosts? Need I say more? 

14 – Hobgoblins – 1.5 skulls – Best scene was the band playing at the bar. Literally almost 6 minutes (I could be exaggerating) of just the band playing and people dancing. 

15 – Special 4 Movie Feature at Hollywood Theatre – 4 movies. 1 night. Friends. Beer. Coffee. Rad.

             Race with the Devil – 2.5 skulls – Peter Fonda. You can't escape the Satanists, no matter              how long or far you run (or drive)! It was OK, a bit weird and somewhat comical. 
             Psycho II – 4 skulls – The best of the night. A sequel made over 20 years after the                          original. Most definitely an "underrated sequel". Was fun and pretty dang good. 
             The Funhouse – 3.5 skulls – Maybe a lesser well known Tobe Hooper scare. The only of                the 4 I had previously seen and I still enjoyed it. 
             Burial Ground – 3 skulls – "Bat shit crazy Italian gutmuncher" is an appropriate descriptor              for this movie. This was insane. And being the last of the 4 made it even that much more                  insane (because watching it at around 4am after sitting through 3 other movies).    

16 – Ghost concert – After 4 movies in one night, took a break to see one of my favorite bands! 

17 – Southbound – 2.5 skulls – Another anthology film with the stories all tied together in some way. Really enjoyed a couple of the stories but overall was nothing to get that excited about. 

18 – The Psychic – 3.5 skulls – Watched based on recommendation from a friend. Was not disappointed. 

19 – He Never Died 
– 3.5 skulls – Henry Rollins. 'Nough said.

20 – Special Presentation of "new" Rocky Horror Picture Show on FOX – 1.5 skulls – I had to give it a shot but I just, I don't even know why I watched the whole thing. I do love Laverne Cox and even was happy to see Tim Curry stepping into the role of the Criminologist/Narrator. But it just, no. Bad. No more words for how much I did not like this.  

21 – The Corpse Grinders – 2 skulls – Cat food made with corpses! I fell asleep, tried to watch again and fell asleep again. Not worth it. 

22 – Open Grave – 2 skulls – I wanted to like it because I love Sharlto Copley but it just wasn't very good.   

23 – Stake Land – 3 skulls – Decent vampire fare. Saw recently that there is a sequel, might give that one a try this year. 

24 – Monsters – 3.5 skulls – A good science-fiction/monster flick. Some good subtle social commentary in it as well.     

25 – Baskin – 3.5 skulls – I still feel fucked up after watching this movie. I liked it, but damn. Just writing this snippet about it is fucking with me. And it really wasn't terribly more shocking than other movies I've watched, but it just got to me in a fucked up way.   

26 – Goosebumps – 2 skulls – As an avid Goosebumps reader in my younger days, I had to watch this. It was OK.   

27 – Poltergeist - 2.5 skulls – I try my darndest to give remakes a shot and some are actually decent (Rob Zombie's Halloween for one, honestly). But I just wasn't feeling this one.

28 – Stung - 3 skulls –The only note I have on this one is that I gave it 3 skulls because of the practical effects. Seriously, a good way to win me over is the use of practical effects. Especially for "newer" films to use practical effects over CGI (or a combination of the two). 

29 – We Are What We Are – 3.5 skulls – A cannibalistic family drama. Decent. 

30 – The Houses October Built – 2 skulls – Haunted houses, the kind you go to to be scared, that are a little more "serious". I liked the premise, but poor execution.

31 – Ghostbusters – 3.5 skulls – Despite what the critics and even die hard original Ghostbusters fans have said about this movie, I really liked this. I wouldn't go as far as saying it was better than the original, but honestly having four female leads, and three in scientific fields, was pretty dang great. Yay for progress, I guess, yay! I also just fucking LOVED Kate McKinnon as Holtzmann. (I admit I have an Abby Yates Funko Pop! toy on my desk at work but every time I look at it I wish it was Holtzmann. Shhhh, don't tell Abby).  

Welp that's it for last year's movies. We've got about a week until the feast-ivities begin. AGGGGGHHHH! I can't wait!

Horror-tober 15: Special Quadruple Feature

Special Poster made for the event by artist Tristan Jones @tyrannojones
This day was a special quadruple horror feature event. Hollywood Theatre is a local, historic non-profit theater with a lot of interesting events and special showings. The group that does a Grindhouse Film Festival at the theater put this event on this year. Four movies - a Satanic film, an underrated horror sequel, a forgotten 80's slasher, and a batshit-crazy Italian gutmuncher - all rare, 35mm reels. I knew this wasn't for Joey, so I went on my own. But two friends were there and I had some company to sit through these four movies with. On to the ratings!

Satanic Film 
Race with the Devil


Motorcycle racer and dealer, Roger (Peter Fonda) heads out in an RV for a vacation with his wife, Kelly and longtime friends Frank (Warren Oates) and Alice (Loretta Swit of M*A*S*H fame). All seems well until they witness some satanic ritual while camping in a remote spot in Texas on the way to Colorado. Hell breaks lose after they report what they saw to the local law enforcement and they find themselves pursued by the relentless satanists to the very end.


I liked this one alright, it was very action-packed and pretty suspenseful. It was also fun to see Peter Fonda in something unlike I have ever seen him in before. The emcee of the event, for lack of a better word, mentioned that Warren Oates is an underrated actor of the time, and then made a comment about his reaction in the film when he believes he is witnessing an orgy. He was right, it was a pretty fantastic reaction. My main complaint, as is true with a lot of these earlier movies, is the blatant animal abuse. There is a scene where the satanists snuck into the RV and left two live rattlesnakes. Ten intense, grueling, and painfully awful minutes later the two snakes are killed and thrown out of the RV. Not clear if the snakes were actually killed but they seemed to be beat with various items in this scene and it is pretty difficult to watch (mostly because of the constant shrieking from the two female leads). Otherwise the movie was goofy and pretty entertaining throughout.    



Underrated Horror Sequel 
Psycho II


Norman Bates has spent the last 22 years in a mental institution and is released to return home. The victims' families are not happy and incessantly tell the police he needs to be put away forever, not free to kill again. When people start disappearing around the house, everyone questions if Norman is truly "cured" or if being home has made his mind snap back to his "old ways".  


Anthony Perkins revives his role as iconic Norman Bates in this sequel and he does it really well. You almost feel for the guy and don't want him to go crazy and start killing people again. But as he appears to slip further into madness because of the circumstances at the house, you can see that crazy look return. 


It was funny, weird, and pretty darn good overall. It had the best death scene of the night, when a man is stab on a staircase and falls backwards over the railing and with the knife still in him, he lands on the second railing below right on the knife hilt. Gruesome, ridiculous, but well done. This one also has some other recognizable faces, including Dennis Franz, Meg Tilly, Robert Loggia, and Vera Miles (in her same role from Psycho). This might have been my favorite of the night, so it gets the highest rating.




Forgotten 80's Slasher
The Funhouse


The fair is in town and Amy's little brother wants to go! But he is stuck at home while she goes with her boyfriend and another couple. They decide, wouldn't it be fun to stay in the funhouse over night? Yeah, I suppose it would be, but they soon find out the fair hides some dark secrets and they will have to pay a price for discovering those secrets, trapped in the funhouse.


From the director of Texas Chanisaw Massacre (Tobe Hooper), The Funhouse is a fun romp in the "hillbilly", freakshow slasher way. This is one I had actually seen before (the only of all four, which is pretty good!) but back in my early twenties so it was nice to see it again after so long. Also of note, the 35mm of this film was borrowed from Quentin Tarantino's private collection. This movie is genuinely creepy with fantastic cinematography. It is a slow build with a pretty good score. Yes, there is some poor acting and it is goofy but it ends so perfectly. A gem in my eyes and definitely worth a watch.



Batshit-crazy Italian Gutmuncher
Burial Ground


A scientist of some sort is in a crypt when the dead come to life. A group of people come to visit said scientist at his estate and the dead escape from the crypt, coming to eat the living!


So many words for this one. First, I was very happy that this was the last one shown for the night. One because it was entertaining enough to keep me awake until the end and two because it was SUCH a bizarre movie that if I was in my right mind, I may not have enjoyed it at all. As far as calling it a batshit-crazy Italian gutmuncher, all correct and completely accurate. Second, there is an underlying plot, but the movie is just so relentless with the undead and gore that all character development just flies right out the window. Whoosh! Really all I can say for the story is, "It smells of death." Third, the "child" played by a small adult man. That's right. I'm actually not even sure how old he is supposed to be, 6? 8? 11? Who knows. But it is creepy, weird, hilarious, and sort of makes a lot of sense as to why it was not an actual child in the movie (SPOILERS and links for the brave!).


Finally, the gore. It seems like a running theme in the 80's Italian genre to be gross-out gory, and this film fits that mold. The makeup effects have real worms and maggots crawling around the eye socket of the undead for close-up shots. The guts that the undead tear into when they make a fresh kill are all totally real (from some animal obviously). And buckets of blood.    


I only give this one a three because I was in such a weird state of mind and am also rating it in comparison to the others (not as good as Psycho or Funhouse but better than Devil). If I watched it today, it would not be rated as high. I give the movie a rating after I see it even if I feel a bit delirious at the time and it takes me a week to write the blog.  



After about 6-7 hours the last film ended and I headed home at a little after 5am. I think the best part of the whole event was being with an audience to laugh, cheer, and otherwise engage with during the showings. Also the ridiculous trailers matching the theme of the movie were spectacular (Satanic films, horror sequels, slashers all with "Don't" in the title, and seriously WTF kind of trailer did I just see, is that really a movie?). Actually I wish I had remembered what the Asian horror one was called that was shown before Burial, I think it looked even more batshit-crazy than that film. 100% would do this again next year if they do it, I suspect they will. Big thanks to Leif for making me aware of this event and sticking in to the end with me!

Horror-tober 13: 2001 Maniacs


Some college kids are headed to Florida for spring break. Of course they plan to party hard during the week, but they are also supposed to be writing a History term paper. When they drive through a southern town (called Pleasant Valley) on the way they will get the history lesson of their lives, or deaths more like. The South will rise again! 

Welcome to Pleasant Valley!
It has been a number of years since I last saw this one, but even for the shlocky-ness of the plot, it had left a mark on me that I wanted to revisit. I remembered some of the death scenes very vividly and also remembering thinking it was utterly stupid. It is. But, it is also pretty fun. Mayor Buckman (Robert Englund) is the patriarch of this sleepy little southern town and Granny Boone (played by iconic Lin Shaye) the matriarch. Aside from the terrible acting in most of this film, these two shine in their roles as cannibalistic ghosts. That's right, if you haven't seen it, I just ruined it for you. They're ghosts. That eat people. I mean, there's a "You ARE what they eat" tagline and gravestones on the cover. It's really not all that surprising. But, really anything Robert Englund is in is a gem in my book. I haven't watched the Masters of Horror - Dance of the Dead with him yet, but a friend of mine really likes it so that might appear on the list next year. Also has a short appearance by horror director Eli Roth in it. Overall, basically what you would expect for a gore-fest set in the deep south with stupid college spring breakers and racist, cannibalistic ghosts. The death scenes are hilarious and sort of creative. My favorite was when the Mayor was talking to a victim and he spits in his eye, except not in his eye but on the eye patch and he put a handkerchief on it like he was so offended and hurt. It's those subtleties in the humor of this movie that gives it the 3-skull rating it deserves.

Horror-tober 8: Hush


A "home invasion" horror movie for this Slasher Saturday, but with a twist. Maggie is an author and has recently moved to a seemingly isolated spot in some wilderness to get away from the city to write her latest book. Or at least can be assumed. She also happens to be deaf and mute. Which becomes terrifyingly apparent when a masked man comes to her window after killing her neighbor.

I may have talked in the past about how I feel indifferent towards some of these home invasion horror movies. On one hand, it can be a real fear and some exhibit a sense of terror and hopelessness (Funny Games, Them). On the other hand, some are just poorly executed and mundane (I won't name names). This one sort of falls in-between but gets mad props from me for having a clever premise and unique idea on the trope. I particularly liked that it was filmed in a way where it is as if you are Maggie and there is no sound as you follow her from window to window watching the man outside her house. It was an edge of your seat type of horror/thriller throughout.

I need to watch more horror movies with Skyra, it was a hoot to hear her yelling at the TV. "What are you doing? Just run away. I don't like this. Why doesn't she run away? She's taking forever. He's going to kill her." Love it.

Again, Skyra and I agreed on a rating for this one:

Horror-tober 1: Holidays


I thought it fitting to start off this year's Horror fest with an anthology about horrific holidays.

It starts with Valentine's day, and this one was sort of reminiscent of the Horror flick My Bloody Valentine. A young girl picked on by fellow students is in love with her diving coach who needs surgery for a heart transplant. In the end, she finds a creative way to ensure his well-being.



We then move to St. Patrick's Day where a school teacher longs for a child of her own. When a new student in class informs her that she (the student) will smile when her deepest desire is fulfilled, the school teacher learns she is pregnant after a memorable (yet forgotten) St. Patrick's Day romp. Although it is not exactly what she hoped for. This one is pretty zany, and darkly humorous.



Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But the Easter Bunny and the hunt or colorful eggs has become the main celebration for those that aren't devoutly religious. So no surprise that the Easter Bunny presented in this horrific tale isn't the cute and fluffy one we all expect.



I wasn't really expecting a tale for Mother's day or Father's day for that matter. But both were decently done and played with some Satanic and otherworldly horror themes. Actually, I am still not sure who "He" was in the Father's day tale, but that is what makes it kind of interesting. You can speculate and come to your own conclusions with this story. Also the videography in Father's Day was definitely my favorite of all of them.


Mother's Day
Father's Day

That brings us to the most important holiday of all, Halloween! This story was directed by Kevin Smith and didn't disappoint. A little torture porn tale blending in the modern technical age of webcams. Also stars his daughter, who was delightfully sadistic.



Leaving, the best holiday we visit Christmas. Seth Green makes an appearance in this tale, and it is a pretty funny one. A new device, UVU, shows us how the stress and pressure of the holidays can turn us into monsters.



The anthology is rounded out with a tale about New Year's Eve. It kind of rounds out the this holidays flick when a man is flipping through a photo album of his recent kidnapee in different holiday outfits. Bored and feeling underappreciated by this woman (named Mandy no less) he moves on to find a new victim. But little does he know, he isn't the only creep searching for "love" on New Year's Eve.



I felt the same way about this anthology as I have with past ones (V/H/S and The ABCs of Death namely), that you kind of get a mediocre grouping of horror tales that have some vision, but that end awkwardly or are just plain boring and predictable. I enjoyed about 3 of these. I did find the Easter one to be pretty disturbing (just that bunny, yeesh), but otherwise the story was lacking and a bit confusing. The best part of the anthology is to see the different styles of each director, from the feeling of an 80's slasher in Valentine's Day to the psycho-trip of Satanic worshiping in Mother's Day. Overall, this one was fun in some instances, but pretty mundane as a whole.

Horror-tober 17: Curse of Chucky


I know one of my really good friends that is also a horror movie fan (especially of the Child's Play franchise) said he was not thrilled with this one, but I wanted to give it shot nonetheless.

Curse of Chucky is the sixth installment (and I thought maybe final but looking online it looks like a seventh is in the works) of the Child's Play franchise. A woman and her paraplegic daughter, Nica (Fiona Dourif), receive a mysterious package. Turns out the package is an old Chucky doll, and the audience knows it to be a Chucky doll possessed by the spirit of the serial killer, Charles Lee Ray. That night Nica's mother supposedly kills herself, and her overbearing sister and family come to help with the funeral and house. Then Chucky has a whole family to slowly pick off.

This installment is not unlike the others, Chucky basically steals a little girl's innocence by brutally murdering her family and leaving the blame to someone else. I enjoyed that it had the practical effects of the puppets like the original and even subsequent films. There may have been some CGI here and there with the doll, but if there was they did it in a way as to not distract from the actual puppetry. Also some gruesome deaths that stays true to the slasher genre. Of course, Brad Dourif returns as the voice of Chucky but the surprise here was his daughter Fiona as the protagonist. She was really good in it and was a pretty tough character.

One reason I am upset to find out this won't be the final Chucky movie, is because I thought this one tied the whole franchise in really well together. Although the very end was a little hokey for me and I guess does set up for a seventh. Which all I will say is Jennifer Tilly shows up again. I like Tilly in Bride and Seed, but I guess I feel it would have been better if it had just ended differently. Not necessarily a happy ending, but just not with continuing Chucky and Tiffany's killing spree as is implied by the ending scenes. But, it still gets 3 skulls from me for the overall story up until that little bit.

Horror-tober 10: More shorts

So, I copped out and had to do shorts again today. But, honestly, these are kind of fun and also just goes to show you that you can create a scary little piece of film sometimes with a little more than a couple of minutes and without the big budgets.

First up for tonight was Vienna Waits for You. A young German girl moves to Vienna and finds a sweet apartment for a steal. Little does she know that the apartment is more than it seems. This one wasn't scary but was entertaining and also beautifully filmed. It is on Vimeo and featured on Short of the Week's horror channel. So I had to download it to share it and got the super low, mobile SD, version. So if you are going to spend the 24 or so minutes to watch this one, better to go to this link and watch the HD version.  





Pictured is by the same short director, David F. Sandberg, as Lights Out that was featured yesterday. I didn't like it as much but it was nice, and the same lady getting into the same kind of trouble with the creepy things that live in her apartment. I'm not a Doctor Who fan, but I've been told that it sort of is a reference to the "weeping angels." So if you are, a Who fan that is, you may like this one.




2 AM - The Smiling Man. I had a weird day and at some point Joey and I had talked about smiling (I am a smiler, even when I don't feel great) and I remembered that there was this short. So, I decided to watch it. Something as simple, friendly, and innocent as a smile could be the stuff of nightmares.




Tufty, another featured on Short of the Week's horror channel. I wanted to watch it because I thought that the cute bear was going to do scary things. He didn't. But it is still pretty good, and kind of a messed up story about children's toys. Got the trailer but not the full film this time, just check out the link if you want to watch it.

Horror-tober 8: Scream



Another pick honoring the memory of the legend, Wes Craven, and one of my favorites. I have a feeling there will more than a few of his featured this year.

I feel like this one doesn't really need a synopsis because I assume most people have seen it, at least from my generation. Even those that aren't that into horror movies have, or at least have an idea of what it is about from the Scary Movie spoof franchise.

This one makes my top 10 horror list (I actually have never made one before, but I know that this one would be on it if I did along with Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street) because it is in itself an homage to the horror genre. It has some obvious references, like the killer tormenting his victims by asking them trivia questions about horror movies, the opening scene closely resembling When a Stranger Calls, and the "rules" of a scary movie. But it has other smaller references including cameos by some of the horror genre's well known faces (i.e. Linda Blair), a reference to directors Wes Craven and John Carpenter when Tatum (Rose McGowan) says the situation is like a Wes Carpenter film, and the janitor is wearing a sweater and hat like those worn by Freddy Kreuger in A Nightmare on Elm Street and is actually played by Wes himself. There are also many references to Halloween.

Scream has some great moments, and intelligent writing and directing. It is also funny and satirizes the horror genre cliches; example, as Randy (Jamie Kennedy) is watching Halloween and screaming, "Turn around Jamie!" at Jamie Lee Curtis all while the killer is creeping behind him, and Sydney (Neve Campbell) and the camera guy are watching it in the news van and screaming at him to turn around. So good. I recently also discovered a lot of Jamie Kennedy's and Matthew Lillard's (Stu) lines were ad-libbed. Even after watching after some 10 plus years, I still really like this one.

Horror-tober 4: Creep



Last night it was actually a choice between Maniac and Creep. Since Maniac was disappointing I broke my schedule of days and chose to watch this one instead. And boy did I make the right choice.

Aaron (Patrick Brice) is a videographer called for a job to record a stranger's life for one day for a $1000. The stranger, Josef (Mark Duplass), is a little strange off the bat, but mostly just in a fun-loving and weird way. At least at first. As a videographer the film is shot in the "found footage" or handheld style. This style of horror movies has become sort of tedious over the years, but this one executes it so spectacularly. Written by both Brice and Duplass and directorial debut for Brice, this film has a good blend of weird and funny, but also has plenty of scenes that make you squirm in your seat. At least I did for a few parts.

Whereas with Maniac I could not believe Elijah Wood's portrayal of a maniac, Duplass is super believable. He is also very quirky and makes you believe he is lonely and just trying to reach out and make a friend, although in a completely, socially unacceptable way. It also, has the creepiest wolf mask in any movie ever. This film really had great moments and a super cohesive narrative that keeps you interested and engaged during the whole thing. Although, Aaron made some really dumb choices. Seriously dumb choices. Even dumber than most people in horror movies. But it was still really good.

Peachfuzz. Just a big old NOPE.
I really liked this movie and give it 4 skulls. Joey liked it so much he gave it 4.5 skulls. 4.5. From Joey. From the guy who "hates" horror movies. *Mind blown*
