2011/UK/R/Horror 

"Newlywed Molly moves into her deceased father's house in the countryside, where painful memories soon begin to haunt her." ~ Lovely Molly (2011)



HQ Thoughts: "This movie is all mental, so don't expect too much of a gory story line. The directors have made it possible for the viewer to creep into the mind frame of a severely damaged woman, apparently by the hands of her now deceased father.

The main question of the film is whether or not her father's ghost has come back to continue wreaking havoc on her or is she clearly a sadistic drug addict reliving her horrible past on her own? Everything in her path crumbles as she witnesses more and more ghostly figures and violent entities.

I love a dark, cerebral film that keeps you guessing and Lovely Molly doesn't fall short with the questions throughout the film and at the end. Are her attacks hallucinations, as it is associated with psychosis  and schizophrenia or is her dead tormenter on her back- again?

My only wonder is why she took the house in the first place, this film takes me places I wasn't ready to go and Gretchen Lodge gave a more than impressive performance as a very disturbed Molly, KUDOS!. It's a good watch!"

Strange Circus (2005)<----Click Me 4 Movie!!!

"Umm, So About That Incest..."

Strange Circus- Can You Stomach Through It?!:
(Title LINK is in English subtitles)
2005/Japan/R/Horror

"The erotic novelist Taeko is writing a morbid story of a family destroyed by incest, murder and abuse. Her assistant, Yuji, sets on a mission to uncover the reality of this story, but the reality might be too much to bear."~ Strange Circus (2005)



HQ Thoughts: "Move over Old Boy and Visitor Q.... Strange Circus is a shocking roller coaster of a sick reality in life. Incest. Nothing to hide here folks, the movie starts off so straight forward that I took 3 days to eventually get through it all. Don't get me wrong, this is a visually brilliant film with a story line that is as delightful, as it is disturbing.

Matsuko lives with her mother Sayuri and father Gozo in a well kept mansion. Her father is the principal of the school she attends and his highly respected, her mom- is around to satisfy dad. If you pay close attention, you will understand the undertones of some SERIOUS family issues beginning to arise, this is no joke people.

Everything begins when Matsuko does what I think every child does at one point in their life, and this is catch their parents having sex... ehk. The difference here, Matsuko pays for it in the weirdest, sickest way ever which eventually causes a riff between her and her mother. Ridiculous. 

AND that is the book that best-selling author Taeko is penning out for all to read... hmmmm

I can't stress enough how much of a sadistic surprise this beautiful movie was. Another to go on my best list and another who receives my 10/10 imaginary score. I RECOMMEND! *chants* watch this. watch this. watch this."

House Hunting (2013)<----Click Me 4 Movie!!!!

SATURDAY- July 27th, 2013
"Round & Round We Go."


House Hunting: May The Best Family WIN?!:
(Title LINK is English)
2013/US/R/Horror 

"Upon entering a desert farmhouse, two families discover that every attempt to leave takes them right back in. Stuck in purgatory, they are haunted by the home's former owner, who declares only one clan will be able to call the house their home. " ~ House Hunting (2013)




HQ Thoughts: "This film started out simple enough with 2 families out looking for a new home. They are both, one way or another, made aware of a 70 acre farmhouse right on the outskirts of town by the owner, who is also looking to a move of some sort. One family (with their son whose leg is broken) go to the location, beautiful home- amazing space and no one is there to help except some voice boxes apparently telling the story of each room in the house. No real estate agent, nothing. 

The 2nd family arrives (with the daughter) shortly after and debate, leaving the other family with the choice to buy. They decide to leave. After making the initial attempt, they end up crashing into a battered and bruised girl whose tongue was cut out. Bad signs ASAP!

Just like any normal family, person, animal- they grab the girl and make a run for it, only thing is that every time they drive away, before they even get to the highway, they end up back in front of the house. The weird voice box is yapping away and I'm totally freaked by now. Different concept, refreshing. 

Movie seems to over extend itself in the acting department, feels like everyone strained their part but I'm not here to deter you from what can potentially be a good horror night. This had me walking away satisfied. The movie is a mind catcher. I liked it!"

Visitor Q: Dysfunction can't describe or define this family:

"A troubled and perverted family find their lives intruded by a mysterious stranger who seems to help find a balance in their disturbing natures. " ~ Visitor Q (2001)



 
HQ Thoughts: "Beware, this post may include a lot of expletives with the first of many being- WHAT THE FUCK!?

I knew what Takashi Miike was capable of because I have posted one of his many classics before (see: Ichi The Killer) but WOW I never thought that he would go to the extreme as to find every possible deviant dysfunction that could occur in a family and tie it into this explosive directive.

Extreme in the sense of a little necro, drug usage, murder, incest, etc, etc.... It's ACTUALLY considered a very, very dark comedy. (And yes, you will laugh!) I'm certainly impressed by the room for experimentation and freedom of speech and artistry in other parts of the world. 

By the looks of the trailer, not much can be shown without rating it XXX so, hats off to Mr. Miike for not giving 2 flying fucks about what he puts on film to entertain. Kudos!!!
