"By Any Means Necessary!"

Dream Home: Didn't Expect This - JUST WOW???!!!:
(Title LINK is English)
2010/Tokyo/UR/Horror 

"Cheng Li-sheung is a young, upwardly mobile professional finally ready to invest in her first home. But when the deal falls through, she is forced to keep her dream alive - even if it means keeping her would-be neighbors dead." ~ Dream Home (2010)



HQ Thoughts: "This film does not automatically give you gruesome until you understand the plight of the protagonist in this film. Cheng is looking for a new home where big is better.

She makes her rounds looking for a good deal and when she finds the seller- she does whatever she can to maintain that connection, even when it means to knock out the competition and BOY does she. Unfortunately, she loses out and eventually loses her mind. This is CRAZY!

My focus on this film is the sheer brutality and utter realness of the deaths that are beyond my wildest imagination. Nobody is safe around this fairly normal (looking) serial killer of a woman who doesn't have the slightest inkling of remorse for what she eventually does to get what she wants.

I CANNOT STRESS THE BRUTALITY ENOUGH!- If you are into murder, long visuals with nothing left to imagination then this is DEFINITELY the film for you. Gore galore. I don't know what else to say besides that this definitely will remain on my WTF list for a very long time. Great gore fest and a lesson well learned."

'Extreme Gore Revisited!'

Ichi The Killer: Takashi Miike directs, Can You Keep Up???:
(Title LINK is in Japanese Sub-Title)
2001/NR/Psychological Horror/Gore/Sadomasochism

"As sadomasochistic yakuza enforcer Kakihara searches for his missing boss he comes across Ichi, a repressed and psychotic killer who may be able to inflict levels of pain that Kakihara has only dreamed of." ~ Ichi The Killer (2001)



HQ Thoughts: "I have yet to unsee this movie. A MUST watch for any gore fan... This one hell of a directorial... Countless scenes that will make your question your place as a human....... I can keep going. lol

Ichi The Killer' Based on a manga that broke barriers in the genre, "Ichi The Killer: Episode Zero"- this featured film bought the same ideas of madness, psychological deviance and sadism from the cartoon to live person film without missing a beat!!! This gore fest is a must have for any horror fan collection and I'm sure you'd watch it frequently.
 
Now, the matter at hand. Kakihara; a pain-craving Yakuza underboss that is looking for his run-away Boss. Ichi on the other hand is a sexually repressed (as mentioned above), quirky young man who is out to execute a couple orders of his own under the watch of a few cohorts. 

Between the gore scenes, death, rape and countless other atrocities that seem to be a theme within Miike's films, (oh yea, and excessive lactation... ...) "Ichi The Killer" is one hell of a film. Enjoyable if you can stomach through it. I absolutely adore.

Megan Is MISSING (2011)<----Click Me 4 Movie!!!

FRIDAY- August 2nd, 2013
"Catfishing- Excuse Me."


Megan is MISSING: *Deactivates ALL Chat*!:
(Title LINK is English)
2011/US/R/Horror 

"Fictional drama based on actual events, about 2 teen-age girls who encounter an internet predator. Megan and Amy are best friends. They share secrets. They chat with guys online. And in a few days, they will never be seen again." ~ Megan Is MISSING (2011)




HQ Thoughts: "TRUST ME the acting is surely meant to be this bad but the message is excellent and horrifying! 2 very young girls, with too much access and freedom, do things that I would kill my child for and end up in BIG TIME trouble.

Hard partying Megan and her innocent (virgin) friend Amy are out and about with friends, parties, movies and constant chatting. This is one of the gazillion 'found footage' films that actually give a pretty decent feel, especially towards the end. The wrap-up of this movie makes up for every second spent watching Megan's obnoxious actions and stories. 

What happens to these poor girls is anyone's worse nightmare and the events leading up to it is pretty much self explanatory. No happy endings- just a bunch of guessing and terrible feelings inside.

Anywho, give it a watch. I would even say it could work as a pretty good PSA for that kid who doesn't want to get offline for a moment with family. You're welcome."

MARTYRS (2008)<-- Click ME 4 Movie!!!

Monday- July 15th, 2013
"Revised- Revisited"

Martyrs: Dying for a cause?:
(Title LINK is in English dubbed)
2008/France/R/Horror

"A young woman's quest for revenge against the people who kidnapped and tormented her as a child leads her and a friend, who is also a victim of child abuse, on a terrifying journey into a living hell of depravity. " ~ Martyrs (2008)





HQ Thoughts: "I ran across this awesome film after a brief word of mouth recommendation that I am happy I didn't pass up. This is one hell of a ride that starts off immediately with a young girl escaping what seems to be a dungeon of some sort. She is beat to the core and so mentally fucked that she barely talks or interacts normally.

She meets a best friend... they grow up and pretty much protect each other until her demons get the best of her and she goes out for her own form of revenge. And that is just the first 20 mins!!! 

What happens after, not even the most seasoned horror buff can imagine!

Brutal isn't the word, scenes literally had me holding my breath. This film is original, super twisted and takes you to a new plateau of horror. Fast paced and excellent until the end."

Irreversible (2002)<---- Click Me 4 Movie!!!

Friday- June 25th, 2010

Irreversible: Time Awareness, Something SO Precious:
(Title LINK is in French Sub-Title)
2002/NR/Horror/Psychological

"Events over the course of one traumatic night in Paris unfold in reverse-chronological order as the beautiful Alex is brutally raped and beaten by a stranger in the underpass..." ~ Irreversible (2002)



HQ Thoughts: This film takes you backwards through a tragic and horrible , yet eventful day. It allows for a thorough introspect of what actually happened, why and what went wrong overall. You wonder and wonder until you hit that 'AHA!' moment which isn't until way later. Irreversible is TRULY a visual masterpiece, making you take in every bit of the movie in order to really appreciate the ending. O yea!

An young woman (named Alex) carries on as usual, entertaining a party with 2 of her friends. What's awaiting, tends to take a turn for the worse when she eventually separates from them. There is so much to take away from the directorial ingeniousness; how to appreciate life, how to make the right decisions, thinking.... And basically destiny. 

There is a scene in this movie that was very difficult for me to take in but I watched it, in it's entirety and God bless that young lady for her endurance for that. Very interesting indeed.

 Again, a perfect example of "Horror" without your typical monsters and goblins! I only watched it once, it is forever ingrained in my memory, the turn of events are just... *sigh*
