"Survival Is Worth Trying..."

Frontieres: What Is The World Coming To? Oh, This!:
(Title LINK is English subtitles)
2007/France/R/Horror 

"A gang of young thieves flee Paris during the violent aftermath of a political election, only to hole up at an Inn run by neo-Nazis." ~ Frontieres (2007)




HQ Thoughts: "Had I seen this before the Hostel films started to take effect, this probably would have blown my mind to smithereens but because I got a wind of this only a few years ago- I was late finding out that somewhere in the world, torture films were being done very right and the back story is what is scariest of them all.

A group of friends are running away from political unrest, martial law, the government is no more and the idea of survival is what becomes the main concept. After taking refuge in what seems to be a friendly inn turns out to be a torture chamber for a family of cannibals that heil Hitler. I couldn't believe it.... 

The next HOUR is a complete gore fest. Ridiculously brutal with a few moments of "hope". That isn't long lived in a film of this caliber- meant to tarnish your senses with very wrong acts of violence and murder.

This is 1 of the few that I own at home and I watch it often because it is just that good.... Not a disappointment if you haven't seen it yet!"

HIGH Tension (2005)<---Click Me 4 Movie!!!

SATURDAY- August 10th, 2013
"BUT I Love You..."

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!"

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."

Death Proof (2007)<--- Click Me 4 Movie!!!

SATURDAY- June 22nd, 2013
"Midterms & the Macabre."

Death Proof: Scoring chicks with a HOT ride:
(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!"
