"As a woman struggles to come to grips with her past in the wake of her mother's death, an unsettling presence emerges in her childhood home.." ~ The Pact (2012)



HQ Thoughts: "I screamed more than I am comfortable admitting. This movie was full of twists and turns and I absolutley didn't expect the ending. SO MUCH FUN!

Nicole arrives first to the childhood home of her and her sister Annie, who (btw) is adamant about not going to their mothers' funeral because of the horrible things she had done to them in the past.

After not hearing from Nicole for a few days, Annie decides to show up anyway only to find the house abandoned. Things begin to get creepy almost right away.

What seems like a revisited bad childhood film quickly turns into a ghost story/mystery/scream fest with some serious bumps in the night.

After coming across some secrets that their mother hid for years, things begin to come together as we realize we aren't just dealing with memories anymore.

This movie is serious! I watched with every light on only to find that I still had my arms over my head in fear. It's dark, quiet, weird and most importantly; SCARY AS HELL! I highly recommend!!!"

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."

"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!!!

MAMA: This love is unconditional, well sort of:

"Annabel and Lucas are faced with the challenge of raising his young nieces that were left alone in the forest for 5 years.... but how alone were they? " ~ MAMA (2013)





HQ Thoughts: "This movie is fairly new but I must say that I enjoyed this Del Toro flick immensely. Took me back to a time when you could 1) crawl under the covers and 2) actually expect real scares and "wtf was that?" moments. 

This story begins pretty fast paced. You get the gist almost right away and what happens going forward is up in the air if it's a first time watch for you. 2 children whose parents are gone are kidnapped (apparently) and found feral after years of fending for themselves. A distant family member takes them in and eventually realizes that the children have a strong bond with their MAMA. Whoever she may be. Must watch! (at least once)"
