Scary Stories (from a Dark Allie)

Unfortunately, this is going to be kind of a disappointing double feature. I don’t really have much to say about this movie.

It tries to emulate the feel of the first one, but the pacing is too slow and rather than feeling dreary it just feels long. It picks up right where that one left off, with Rachel trying to save Aiden from Samara.

Since I didn’t watch anything last week, I figured I’d do a double feature this weekend. In honor of the new movie Rings that came out last week, I decided to watch this one…and its sequel. No, not the one that just came out. That other one from a few years after this.

The Disappointments Room? More like the disappointments movie, am I right? Okay, okay, it wasn’t that bad, but I wouldn’t say it was all that great either.

I like this movie a lot. It’s got a lot going for it. Like the music, for example. The music in this film is fantastic. It’s like, Philip Glass level of expertise. From the main title theme to the general background score, it’s fantastic.

Miss me yet? I bet you thought I forgot about you. It’s a new year, which means a whole new promise to myself. Did you know it’s really time consuming to watch (and write about) a movie every day for a year? I don’t think I’m going to do that again any time soon.

Wow. It’s been a whole year. And what a year it has been.

If I were going to wish for a feature-length adaptation of one of the V/H/S segments, I’m not sure “Amateur Night” would have been my first pick.

I’m so glad this movie turned twenty years old this year, albeit almost at the end.

This is one of those films with a trailer that gives you incredibly high expectations that will probably be dashed when you finally see the movie.

I’ve only gotten about two hours of sleep in the past 36, so I’ll be quick here.

I have to admit, I’m a bit disappointed by this movie. Okay, a lot disappointed.

This was another fun holiday horror movie, and I’m kind of glad I waited to watch it until it was Christmas this year. Merry Christmas, by the way, if that’s your thing.

I loved this movie. I mean, of course I loved this movie. It’s got Ray Wise and Lin Shaye and a strange, silly plot. What better present for Christmas Eve?
