1408: Do You Believe NOW?!:
(Title LINK is in English)
2007/USA/PG-13/Horror 

"A man who specializes in debunking paranormal occurrences checks into the fabled room 1408 in the Dolphin Hotel. Soon after settling in, he confronts genuine terror. " ~ 1408 (2007)






HQ Thoughts: "If any justice can be done to a Stephen King short- this would be it. Took me a while to watch it because I'm simply not that interested in the American mainstream horror film but on a boring weekend night, I managed to watch it and was quite surprised!

Mike is a paranormal investigator who makes a living going out and finding some way to debunk peoples' ghost experiences until he is given a task to go and stay in the Dolphin hotel in NYC over night. He was specifically told to stay in a room 1408- where apparently people kill themselves before seeing the light of day. Seems easy enough until after he settles in.

The set-up is one room for a majority of the film which is true Stephen King claustrophobia style. Mike starts to feel the effects of this solitary experience and tries to curb his clearly growing anxiety with alcohol and a little TV. Gradually, things start to get really screwed up and he is faced with so many of his own demons that he starts to lose it.

This movie takes you there and back- literally. Check it out- keeps you guessing until the end. "

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."
