“If you don’t watch out, he’ll make you shout…or better yet, scream for your life!”

Horror is usually attributed to the Halloween season, especially horror films.  There is a sub-genre, however, that sometimes gets overshadowed.  The Christmas slasher film is a well known category of horror flicks.  With classics such as Black Christmas and Silent Night Deadly Night, or the more recent Krampus, it really holds up due to a strong cult following.  At the RIP film festival on Halloween of 2015, another entry was unleashed.  That film is the soon to be cult classic, All Through the House!  Written and directed by the talented Todd Nunes and produced by the Readmond company, the film is the recipient of multiple awards from various film festivals such as Best Director, Best Actress, Best Slasher, and Audience Choice.

THE PLOT 

Rachel Kimmel (Ashley Mary Nunes) has returned home from college for Christmas break, but things are a little uneasy.  The neighborhood is still a dark place since the disappearance of five year old Jamie Garrett fifteen years earlier.  As Rachel gets reacquainted with her grandmother, Abby (Cathy Garrett), she reads a card from Mrs. Garrett (Melynda Kiring) asking if Rachel could help with decorating her home for Christmas.  Out of sympathy, she agrees to do so after she goes shopping with her friends.  Upon returning, Rachel and her friends, Gia (Natalie Montera) and Sarah (Danica Riner), see Mrs. Garrett off for a few hours so they can get to work.

Little do they know, their night of innocent fun is about to take a turn for the worse.  A sadistic killer (Lito Velasco), dressed in a sinister looking mask and Santa Claus suit, has been slowly stalking the neighborhood leaving nothing but a bloody trail of bodies behind…and the Garrett house is his next target! As the girls look around the home, it becomes clear that Mrs. Garrett is a very troubled woman and has some dark secrets of her own.  Rachel also quickly discovers that there is more to the story than she and everyone else ever knew!

SHOULD YOU SEE IT?

This was a pretty cool movie, but it may not be for everyone.  If you’re looking for a creepy supernatural or paranormal found footage type movie (which is all the rage lately), then you may wanna look elsewhere.  If you LOVE 80’s style slasher flicks such as Friday the 13th, Sleepaway Camp, and Halloween, then this is right up your alley!  It’s got all the great ingredients for such a film…blood, boobs, cheese, and dark humor!  A special bonus is the great special effects that are included.  Brought to us by Tommy Pietch and Josh McCarron, the film contains some gruesome and bloody images that are sure to satisfy the most ravenous gore hounds! Great Holiday Flick!

Don’t Breathe

watch-now-on-amazon-instant-video   buyamazon-1

“Disability doesn’t always mean kind-hearted!”

A sub-genre of horror that sometimes gets overlooked is “Home Invasion.”  Some of the more well known entries in this category are films like The Purge, The Strangers, You’re Next, and Funny Games.  At the annual South by Southwest festival this past spring, a new and interesting take on this style of horror was unleashed.  This film is simply titled Don’t Breathe.  Co-written by Rodo Sayagues and director Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead-2013), Don’t Breathe has quickly gained notoriety for its clever delivery and extreme tension inducing cinematography.

THE PLOT

The film follows Rocky (Jane Levy), Alex (Dylan Minnette), and Money (Daniel Zovatto).  They are a group of common, but well organized, house thieves who are very good at what they do.  After collecting for their most recent job, Money is informed on a new target that could be the big payout they’ve been needing.  The three of them meet and discuss the job.  The target:  a middle-aged man living alone in the slums, who is apparently sitting on a huge lump of cash.  As the three stake out the place, they make a startling discovery.  The man is completely blind due to an old war injury.  This seems like the perfect job with an easy payout for the group.  Once inside, they realize that this is FAR from the truth!  The old man may be blind, but he’s very capable of using his other senses to fend for himself.  As soon as the blind man (Stephen Lang) realizes that he’s not alone, he quickly locks down his home and traps them inside.  With seemingly no way out, and being stalked by a very dangerous man, the three young thieves seem to be out of options.  What started as a simple in and out cash-grab, has now become a fight for survival with little hope for escape!

SHOULD YOU SEE IT?

I have nothing but great things to say about this one!  It was awesome and one of the best films I’ve seen so far this year!  I know that “edge of your seat” is a cliché that sometimes gets over used, but I feel that it’s the perfect way to describe this one.  The tension buildup is nonstop, from start to finish and to top it off….it had a twist that was unexpected and totally game changing to the plot!  When the end credits started rolling, I realized that I was sweating…a lot!  The tension was that great, and my wife and I couldn’t stop discussing it all the way home!  EXCELLENT MOVIE!

High Tension

watch-now-on-amazon-instant-video  buyamazon-1

“Brutally intense and unnerving from start to finish!”

In the early to mid 2000’s the French were on fire with their contributions to the horror genre.  This “French Wave of Horror” gave us extreme films such as Irreversible, Inside, and Martyrs.  One of the early films of this nature was the extremely violent and tense thriller, 2003’s High Tension.  Co-written by Gregory Levasseur and director Alexandre Aja, it has become one of the most talked about French extreme horror films.  From the opening sequence to the jaw dropping conclusion, the film never lets up on the intensity and gruesome violence!

THE PLOT

Best friends Marie (Cecile de France) and Alexia (Alex) (Maiwenn Le Besco) are heading to Alex’s parent’s farmhouse for the weekend in hopes of relaxing and studying for their college exams.  They are greeted by Alex’s father and after giving Marie a quick tour, they have dinner and decide to turn in for the night.  Before long the doorbell rings, and without warning an unknown sadistic killer breaks in and goes on a gruesome rampage throughout the home.  Marie quickly hides under the bed, as the killer makes his way room by room, looking for his next victim.  Quietly Marie sneaks into Alex’s room to find her chained to the bed.  She tells Alex to stay calm as she goes into the parent’s room to try to call for help, but before she can do so, the killer approaches the room prompting Marie to hide in the closet.  The killer then drags Alex to his truck, and before he leaves Marie is forced to sneak into the truck as well, praying that she and Alex will escape this horrific night alive!

SHOULD YOU SEE IT?

My immediate reaction to this film as the ending credits started rolling were “I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED THAT MOVIE!”  It was a great horror flick to say the least and definitely lived up to its title!  That being said, it’s a VERY violent movie!  Full of blood, gore, and disturbing content, it can be tough to watch if you’re squeamish.  The driving force behind the film is the wild twist, which I definitely didn’t see coming!  I would warn a first time viewer to be careful to not read any spoilers, because if the twist is revealed, it will ruin it for you.  Once again, the French sure know how to deliver some intense and extreme horror, and in my opinion, High Tension is no exception!
