Advantages: Enjoyable Scary Disadvantages: True Story - How awful
I am reviewing the movie The Amityville Horror
I watched this movie last night on television and I have to admit I was a little creeped out. And apparently it is a true story. So I had the hebbi geebies throughout.
The Story
A family decide to buy a house in the country, which is a great bargain, only to find out after that the previous family had been murdered in the house. That's the reason for the cheap sale.
They decided to keep the house as it's only a house, Houses don't murder people, people murder People. All goes ok in the house until the husband starts acting weird and the daughter is seeing things. What now follows is 28 days of sheer terror for the family.
The Cast:
Ryan Reynolds plays George, the new man of the house after he married a widow with three children. The children are only getting used to him ...
Advantages: Great writing, very funny, lots of movie references Disadvantages: None
The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror is a collection of the "Treehouse of Horror" specials from The Simpsons. The episodes included are "Treehouse of Horror V", "Treehouse of Horror VI", "Treehouse of Horror VII" and "Treehouse of Horror XII".
"Treehouse of Horror V", as with every TOH episode, has three mini stories. In this episode, Homer takes his family up to a hotel in the mountains and goes insane in "The Shinning" (one of the best TOH stories of all time), Homer travels through time and changes history in "Time and Punishment", and in "Nightmare Cafeteria", Principal Skinner finds a solution to the overcrowding in his school and the shortage of meat in the cafeteria...
"Treehouse of Horror VI" includes "Attack of the 50 Foot Eyesores", where all the giant advertisements in Springfield come to life and start eating everyone ...
Advantages: rocky horror - Very original, funny, good soundtrack. Disadvantages: Shock treatment = v poor in comparison to rocky horror. just weird.
I watched the rocky horror picture show at a friend's house and immediately loved it! Whilst looking to buy the DVD for myself, i came across this dvd set, with rocky horror and the added bonus of a related "sequel" to rocky horror called Shock Treatment. I hadn't seen Shock Treatment but thought I'd like it, with it being so closely related and with a lot of the same cast.
Firstly, I must say that I loved rocky horror. Despite it being so popular in the past, I only watched it for the first time recently and realised i had been missing out! It's a very strange storyline and downright weird at times, but in a cool way - newlyweds Brad and Janet become stranded whilst driving on their way to their honeymoon (i think that's where they were going..but it doesnt really matter if not). Anyway, to get help, they approach a castle they passed ...
