Session 9 (2001)
This is probably the scariest movie I've ever seen.
Session 9 is the epitome of a psychological horror thriller. It has all the elements to make it worth watching; there is constant suspense because there is clearly something going on with all of the characters but the viewer doesn't find out until the very end. It has superb twists that make you question everything you've seen leading up to that moment. And the terror is unreal. My heart was pounding most of the movie. I suppose only the simpletons who enjoy movies like Insidious or Halloween would find this movie dull and boring. It kept me on my seat. The story is genius, and how it reveals itself in the end I will never forget.
Disturbing, terrifying, and brilliant. And Stephen Gevedon certainly isn't bad to look at either!
Splendor in the Grass (1961)
What a great, refreshing movie
I usually don't watch movies on the Turner Classic Movies channel, but after reading about this movie on the guide, it caught my attention right away, and I am so glad I tuned in.
Not only does it keep you interested, but the story is so subtle yet powerful relaying the ups and downs of Bud and Deanie's relationship.
It wasn't boring in the least, the actors' performances were great, and the ending was realistic, which I truly appreciate because it just goes to show not everything you dream of comes true. It was bittersweet yet tied the movie together wonderfully.
This is just one of many great movies made in the 1960's. Cliché as it sounds, it's actually a classy movie and doesn't show anything inappropriate to get a point across. If only movies today showed "Splendor in the Grass" discretion, I would watch a lot more.
Insidious (2010)
I don't see what all the hype is about..
Yes, I admit in the very beginning (about 20 or so minutes into the movie), it appears rather suspenseful and the movie appears to be going somewhere. However, after these 20 minutes are up, you might as well turn off your TV because what comes after is just ridiculous. I know people say this film is terrifying and that it doesn't use slasher film elements to be scary, but come on! A man with a poorly painted red face as the antagonist is just laughable.
I even found myself laughing at the horrendous acting.. I mean to say that if I came into my son's room and his bed and all the furniture was scattered and broken and there was a bloody hand print on the sheet, I wouldn't just breath heavily and look a little flustered like the parents in this movie. I would be absolutely terrified.. same goes for when the mother sees the man walk through her bedroom in the first house.
Regarding "The Further" and the ridiculous walk through the father goes through to get his son back, this just proves that Insidious gets worse as it progresses. I watched, daring to believe that this is what people regarded as "a terrifying movie." If you are a true horror fan, do not see this pathetic attempt at a horror movie. Perhaps if you are 15 or under, you might appreciate this film.
