"A documentary about conspiracy theories takes a horrific turn after the filmmakers uncover an ancient and dangerous secret society...." ~ The Conspiracy (2012)

HQ Thoughts: "We all love a conspiracy film every now and then and this doesn't fall short at all. I believe this documentary-like horror/thriller is executed very well in it's efforts of making you wonder if it's all a big sham or REAL!

Based on decades old rumors of secret societies and such; Jim and Aaron begins on their search for details about a secret society called the Bohemian Grove. It starts out with the typical information but moves into a very suspenseful and tense ending that had me doing a little research.

While the goal was to sneak into one of the induction ceremonies of this secret brotherhood, turns out- one of the more frequently mentioned secret societies (The Tarsus Club) is the real fucking deal, in real life everyone! I was shocked, creeped and left wondering if they did the ending any justice by acting out the last movements of what is said to be a true story. 

This is a great film. Exciting and informative. Take notes and do some research after watching it, you'd be surprised what you find."

"MARCOS VELA is a prestigious gastronomic journalist who accepts the request of an independent publisher to write an article on the recent emergence of the Clandestine Restaurants..." ~ Omnivores (2013)

HQ Thoughts: "Eat first before you watch this culinary gore fest of a film. Touching everyone's nerve with the idea of an underground eating ring that enjoys to dine on, well, YOU.

Marcos is an established foodie writer who takes on a special writing project based on clandestine restaurants as mentioned above. What he didn't realize is the unconventional process in which they take to gather their goods.

He then meets a beautiful woman who guides him through intense relations and after experiencing a show based on wild eating habits and techniques he is now ready for the next step which leads him to dinner of a weird kind. Everything from that point on is not for the queasy at all.

Without giving too much, understand that this is a very tight knit organization that is almost impossible to escape so, after he indulges in what is the ultimate taboo, he comes up with a plan to fix the problem. Definitely a test of gore tolerance in this one. Very well executed nice ending."

"A young woman studying the habits of webcam chat users from the apparent safety of her apartment witnesses a brutal murder online and is quickly immersed in a nightmare in which she and her loved ones are targeted for the same grisly fate as the first victim." ~ The Den (2013)

HQ Thoughts: "Film is full with twists and turns with an ending that was unexpected and well thought out. I noticed a few reviews where some people weren't satisfied with the way this first person, live feed horror was executed but for a directorial debut- this was great!

ElizabethB is doing a study for her college that will require her to spend her waking moments on a website called The Den, where randoms are connected for chat and you never really know what you're going to get.

While working with her professors and friends on her thesis, she begins to run into some strange characters that immediately begin to raise eyebrows but as long as you're behind the screen- you're safe right? RIGHT?

Well, let's just say the people around her are slowly but surely getting hacked (no pun intended) and she starts experiencing a serious stalker issue after viewing what she believes to be a young girl getting murdered on live feed. She tries to get cops involved but the internet proves to be one big wide free ride of deviance and full of crazies.

This gave me Megan Is Missing (peep the review) for the most part but the outcome made this film one hell of an entertaining and questionable movie. At the end, I couldn't help but repeat that I liked that! It was entertaining and I know you guys would enjoy on a late night."

2013/USA-German/UR/Horror 

"Journalist Anne Roland explores the disturbing links behind her friend's sudden disappearance, an ominous government research chemical, and a disturbing radio broadcast of unknown origin." ~ Banshee Chapter (2013)

HQ Thoughts: "WHAT A TRIP? I definitely went into this one blind enough to have to watch it twice. Might even make someone else watch it with me for a reason to see it again. It was great!

Anne Roland had a friend disappear rather unceremoniously after having a bad 'reaction' to a secret drug concoction created by none other than the ever so secret CIA.

In first person, we get to see the video with the last recorded remnants of her friend which features a shortwave radio, some crazy weird counting and a music box- I almost lost it! It took me out of character, my TV was on high and I just wasn't ready! I have a thing about voices, music, etc. I was definitely a target audience for this film. lol

She then takes it upon herself to begin doing some digging around that led her to Thomas Blackburn, a connoisseur of government conspiracies and such, and he takes her all the way left where she ends up coming face to face with the horror that it all really is. WOW!

Now, this film is based on true events; the MK-Ultra project which is a well renowned piece of the good ol' US of A history and unfortunately (or fortunately, if you've seen this film) they haven't made the screwed up, deviant, blatantly psychotic details public.

Upon my finishing of this very disturbed and creepy film. I commenced to sleeping with my TV on low just for a little light. I am not that easily swayed but this was original and scary. Give it a shot!"

"A young woman travels to Texas to collect an inheritance; little does she know that an encounter with a chainsaw-wielding killer is part of the reward." ~ Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D (2013)



HQ Thoughts: "Let me mention that I had no expectations of liking this (what feels like) 58th edition of TCM but the writers' were definitely onto something with this concept. 

I will be honest and say that I stopped watching these installments after the remake of the original and not really sure if this is a continuation of another but it makes sense either way.

Heather inherited the Sawyer home and decided to take her friends with her to check it out on their way to New Orleans. Trey Songz plays the boyfriend and doesn't die in the typical black person first style which was refreshing but his acting made me wish... ok ok let me stop.

Anyway, things go as usual- everyone gets knocked off in the most archaic ways and the ending is what shocked me the most. I must say that I was actually satisfied with the outcome, which was not what I expected at all.

Having a slow weekend evening? This could get a few jumps and laughs out for you. Good watch."

""A true-crime writer finds a cache of 8mm home movies films that suggest the murder he is currently researching is the work of a serial killer whose career dates back to the 1960s." ~ Sinister (2012)




HQ Thoughts: "I've had first hand access to this movie for over a year and boy am I kicking myself right now... This movie was GREAT! I liked it so much that I feel like putting on a Sinister mask for Halloween (not ruled out just yet- with a girly touch of course.)

Wow, what a dark, tense film with all types of unexpected frights that made me scream an honest scream. Ethan Hawke plays a crime writer named Ellison who apparently travels to crime scenes (or near them, w/ his family) to do his own investigative reporting on the murders. He comes to a town where a murder of the Stevenson family captured tons of traction then suddenly went cold with the littlest victim gone missing.

When Ellison moves into the home and looks around, he finds a stash of home movies that are bound to make you go WTF?! I sure did. His intent is to write and publish a book as he has done before with new facts and details. What Ellison didn't know was that he was in for a ridiculously wild ride while uncovering the real reasoning behind the 8mm films.

I surely plan on owning this one, watching it periodically to set the bar again and again for other films to follow. I truly loved this movie! 10/10 on my non-existent rating system. :)"

"When a group of misfits is hired by an unknown third party to burglarize a desolate house and acquire a rare VHS tape, they discover more found footage than they bargained for." ~ V/H/S (2012)




HQ Thoughts: "How cool?! A film involving my overall fave concept- The Anthology! 5 short stories wrapped in one with a creepy overtone that will most likely make you watch with the lights on. I didn't because it was day time... But anyways! (lol) Yet again, this is another film with found footage which can be a hit or miss with many titles to name. 

I think the idea of having young bandits running around trying to make a quick buck get their paybacks doing something that they apparently love- being violent, is a great touch however, the movies have nothing to do with the big picture...

The videos are clearly disturbing and so sketchy that you really start to feel like you're watching a few horrible home movies... Even though the overall idea wasn't completely clear at the end for me, I must say that I enjoyed this to say the least and I hear that there is that sequel. :)"

(Title LINK is English)
2008/Canada/R/Horror 

"A psychological thriller in which a deadly virus infects a small Ontario town." ~ Pontypool (2008)




HQ Thoughts: "I watched this and didn't like it the first time around, so I watched it again and found an appreciation for what the director was aiming to do. Since I have watched all types of horror for years, this didn't come quite as a shock to me as it did others who claim this movie is the best they've ever seen... Trust me it isn't BUT it's also entertaining enough to get through and enjoy for what it's worth.

Grant is a shady radio show host who apparently landed a gig at a station way out of norm for him. Their normal positive day goes awry when reports of protests of some sort were taking place in front of a Dr's office and murders begin to be carried out. 

Amazingly, this entire movie takes place inside of the radio station  with callers reporting what they saw and a complete narration happening from within. With minimal view of anything that is happening, the movie has a way of creating a creepy, tense atmosphere. 

Ultimately, this is a zombie film sans the zombies eating brains, attacking and doing what they do best and the transference of the virus is what got me to thinking... ARE WE ALL ZOMBIES? lol"

HIGH Tension: Unconditionally A Gory Love Story!:
(Title LINK is English Dubbed)
2005/French/R/Horror

"Two college friends, Marie and Alexa, encounter loads of trouble (and blood) while on vacation at Alexa's parents' country home when a mysterious killer invades their quiet getaway." ~ HIGH Tension (2005)





HQ Thoughts: "I'm excited to mention that Haute Tension is EASILY 1 of my favorite films because again, it is 1 of those gems that managed to shock the mess out of me and I was authentically scared for a while after watching this for the 1st time (and every time after). It's definitely a love story with horrific standards and outcomes and who doesn't enjoy a love story???

The film kicks into high gear like 15-20 minutes in and keeps you on your toes the entire time while you are there with Marie and Alexa as they attempt to escape a random ass madman who managed to take out Alexia's entire family in minutes. No wonder the title, which is also referred to as 'Switchblade Romance'.

Marie stops at nothing to protect her college friend until the ultimate twists takes place, sending you on a downward spiral of HOLY SHIT-ness and a clear cut and screwed ending. 

NOT A LET DOWN AT ALL. This film is brilliant. A work of originality. Wish there was a Part Deux in the works, I could totally see this becoming a franchise of a small sort. I love it beyond belief!"

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."

2008/Canada/R/Horror 

"Harry Seigal is a private investigator who, several years earlier, was dismissed from the police force after accidentally killing a suspect during interrogation." ~ Fear Itself- Spooked (2008)

HQ Thoughts: "Regardless of what the masses say, this has to easily be one of my favorite shorts from the "Fear Itself" series. I was ecstatic when it came out because I am a HUGE fan of short horror stories of any kind and this was short lived but fun while it lasted.

"Spooked" tells the story of a former police officer named Harry, who had a history of aggression and violence that lead to the eventual killing of a suspect while in his custody. He loses everything including his job and fast forward 15yrs, he is now a private investigator who was put to task by a woman who is trying to see if her husband is cheating while she is gone. A far cry from normal police work.

The house that he has to stake out in is old and dilapidated and he sets up in the upstairs room, in the dark. The madness starts soon after. We find out what makes him tick, what makes him squirm and go crazy as he revisits the core of everything that is causing his ultimate issue. Pretty screwed up.

I don't think this episode disappoints at all and there was some pretty good acting as well. Eric Roberts owned this role.

2009/Spain/R/Horror 

"The action continues from [Rec], with the medical officer and a SWAT team outfitted with video cameras are sent into the sealed off apartment to control the situation. " ~ REC[2] (2009)






HQ Thoughts: "OK, now this is what I call a heart pounding, effective zombie film. Produced in Spain, the graphics and make-up effects are excellent.

This film is the 2nd installment to the film ([REC]) that inspired the American-jacked 'Quarantine' film, which is the exact same, shot by shot, so no need to blog it- you've probably already watched it. This follow-up is even better and more fulfilling than the first anyways.

It starts off EXACTLY where it ended; girl screaming, getting pulled into the darkness and SWAT coming to check what has come of this once thriving apartment building. The only difference here is that the director had room for originality and you get the full back story and a nasty ass view of the infected. 

No one is off limits in the film. A breath of fresh air for zombie fans like myself and not to mention 3 is out and 4 is on the way... I will be watching."

"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."

"In the future, the Japanese government captures a class of ninth-grade students and forces them to kill each other under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act. " ~ Battle Royale (2000)





HQ Thoughts: "When I first saw this, my first reaction was "Whoa! That was brutal" This is a story, involving pubescent kids, a fucked government and survival in which, the survival part is set in a way purely for the governments pleasure. 

Everyone is pretty much sent out with a mystery bag and a dog collar that senses movement and plays as a GPS device. If you go too far, boom goes your head. !!! WTF man, these are KIDS! The visual is gritty but they follow each kid with a cool system that keeps you concerned and curious. No names, just gender and number.

OK, well so much for a social experiment, who you thought were your friends, now know your very weakness. Original deaths, dark weird funny moments (if you're a job like myself) and freaky! Good adrenaline inducing flick w/ crazy adolescents."

(Title LINK is in English)
2007/R/Horror 

"Two separate sets of voluptuous women are stalked at different times by a scarred stuntman who uses his "death proof" cars to execute his murderous plans. " ~ Death Proof (2007)





HQ Thoughts: "Well, how can I not add a Tarantino gem to the bunch? Death Proof, originally marketed as a double feature (Grind House) at the theaters back in 2007. The films, intertwine as previous T-flicks tend to do but now, considered to be on it's own, and rightfully so, this is definitely the better of the 2.

It's a tale of a sick, tired and outdated former stuntman (Stuntman Mike) who seeks out women at bars to test his classic ride on. He definitely has his opportunity to show off what he's made of, and it's an extremely original process that caught me off guard and made me cringe with concern and a little tinge of agony. (Kudos!) Yes, I'll keep it just that simple. 

Stuntman Mike, however much later, manages upon 4 beautiful women who are clearly on a vacation road trip of some sort in their own sick lil ride. As the story goes on, you realize they too, are stunt professionals. He is intrigued by their candidness yet oblivious to this tiny important fact that puts him in a vulnerable spot that I think you will want to relive over and over and over again... This movie is brilliantly entertaining!"
