blu ray weekend

08/20/2012 by alaundre

the last 2, one was on sale and the other i had a $10 gift certificate…the others are ones that i have not seen in theatres nor have a dvd copy of ( i did see The Raid on limited release ) . I liked this one better than West’s previous movie The House of The Devil (although I prefer how House ends than Innkeepers). the trailer makes it much scarier than it is . Late to the party on […]

5 Films by Dario Argento

10/08/2009 by alaundre

felt like watching some 80’s giallo specifically for the 80’s synth scores, but 3 of the movies included in this set are post-80’s works by Dario Argento. guess i’ll just have to hunt down The Goblin Collection. (can’t find the trailer for Do You Like Hitchcock)

battle of the hair horrors

09/14/2008 by alaundre

– not the scary little asian girl with long hair horror again! ha! no scary girl this time, instead we have actual hair-themed horror movies: first up from japan, Exte from 2007: versus the 2005 korean horror The Wig: .

À l’intérieur / Inside dvd

05/02/2008 by alaundre

this movie is simply bloody. but that doesnt necessarily give you an idea of how bloody it is (in both quality and quantity). i guess you can lump this with the Saw movies as far as gore is concerned but this movie is more heartwarming? er, touching? hard to explain, it’s like poignant yet overly brutal, violent…and bloody.
