Gnaw is an independent British movie. Short. Which is good.
The movie is about an unkillable, superhuman, masked psychopath who stalks and kills 6 vacationing teens. The teens are so stereotypical. The horny couple, the rebellious loner girl, the bitch, the man-whore and the shy one with on the rebellious loner girl. Sound familiar? It's very TCM-ish. Actually there's really nothing that sets it apart from TCM. Not much originality. Although there is a wicked acid scene. And the ending is a little bit ridiculous.
Not really worth watching if you like TCM. Because it's basically a direct rip-off. But if you've never seen that then by all means, you may love Gnaw.

reading!
I just finished American Psycho. It was ever bit as amazing as I hoped it would be. There were moments where I had to stop reading because everything got so graphic. It's definitely a worth while read if you can get past those parts. It messed with my head in so many ways that I didn't even know a book could!
My next read is a novel my friend is writing. I've started reading it, and it's really great so far! I'm looking forward to what come next :)
And then after that...A little Clive Barker...in the form of Mister B Gone. I don't really know why but everytime I see a picture of Clive Barker, I think of my third year romantics professor.
Gregory Betts anyone?

I feel like I have been living my life in the movie theater lately. In the past few weeks I have seen Drag Me To Hell (twice), Up, The Hangover, Terminator, and X-Men. not that I mind or anything...I do feel like a huge dork though. And there are still so many coming out that I want to see. Transformers! Dead Snow! Public Enemies! Inglorious Basterds! Bruno! Funny People! District 9! Halloween 2 (although I'm kind of expecting this to be dumb. which breaks my heart because I love Rob Zombie so much)!
Out of all the movies that I've recently seen, I'm going to have to say that Drag Me To Hell is my favourite. Surprise! The horror fan likes the horror movie the most! It's the first GOOD horror movie I've seen in a long while.
I'm especially excited for Dead Snow. It's about zombie Nazis. I don't know if it looks more funny than awesome, or more awesome than funny. I don't know if I should be taking it seriously or not. Either way though, it does look amazing. If you haven't seen the trailer yet, ch-ch-check it!:

Inglorious Basterds also looks incredible! Brad Pitt + Quentin Tarantino = amazing! Coincidentally, this movie is also about Nazis...I wonder how many more Nazi movies will come out within the next year. Could this be the next vampire craze? I hope not. This isn't really a horror movie at all, but it does look bloody and brutal, Tarantino style. how could I not be pumped about this one? Anyway here is the trailer for that one too. Because it is also awesome:

I'm not too sure how to feel about this new Halloween movie. The only trailer that I can find makes it seem like this movie is going to be horrible. They're trying to bring the dead mother into it to make it seem like that's why he's killing people...But wasn't that the plot of Friday the 13th? I don't understand. It makes me sad because Rob Zombie is one of my favourite horror directors, but this looks like it may be a disappointment. I guess if I go into it thinking that it won't be very good, I may end up being pleasantly surprised. have faith in the Zombie!:

The Poughkeepsie Tapes
Before even thinking about watching this movie, note that this is NOT a true story. NOT. It's based on facts that may have actually happened in connection with other serial killers, but this whole story is not fact. Kind of like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Alot of people went into the movie thinking that this was going to be a true story and they ended up hating it because they didn't expect to see actors.
I first heard about it last winter and have been waiting to hear more about it ever since! I thought it would get a theatrical debut, but I guess it wasn't big enough to get there. It's a very low budget movie, and you can tell as it's recorded in the same style as the Blair Witch Project, with a video camera. The plot focuses on a serial killer who videotapes all of his murders. at one point in the movie they say that there were over 24 hours of video containing kidnapping and murders. In between clips of these videos is footage of interviews with police and family members and friends of the victims. The actual footage is terrifying. I JUST finished it so I still have the images in my head! There is no way I will sleep normally tonight. The interviews are haunting. To keep in mind that some of the things taking place actually have happened, it will terrify you. The first murder that takes place is eerily similar to the Tori Stafford case. That part hits close to home and makes the rest of the movie seem like a bad dream. The ending of the movie is when it starts to get really messed up, when the killer starts to do crazy things to some of the people he is murdering. There are some slow parts but it's worth getting through to get to the end.
