Saw: I want to Play a Game

The original Saw is the start of the Saw franchise before the later on blood bath sequels. The first Saw is the start of the franchise and this is the best in the series since Saw VI and Saw 3D along with Saw III. The first Saw starts of with a good opening scene and the story is really well paced in this movie. Saw is a really similar film to David Fincher's Se7en and this film seriously has all of the goods it has the right amount of tension, right amount of suspense, right amount of genuine spooks and thrills. This movie is a good start in the franchise and it was the most popular Horror film for Horror fans and when the sequels were released all of the fans were getting wilder when the sequels were released. The Saw franchise seriously became part of the Guinness World Records as the most successful Horror movie franchise due to it's box office reception. Like I said Saw is really similar to Se7en and the concept of this film is grimmy and disturbing and the entire concept of the first Saw is really good and it is a pretty nice film so far. I didn't ave any problems with the first Saw and the concept is perfect and there are no cliches or faults and problems it is just a simple and perfect movie with loads of tension, scares and spooks. I was also amazed with the cinematography of the movie and I really find the cinematography to be really useful and powerful as well. The music by Charlie Clouser was really well used in this film the main theme of the Saw franchise is one of the best songs I've heard in a Horror movie along with the main theme of A Nightmare On Elm Street and the theme is really well used and incredible for this film it always plays on the last part of the movie it played on the last part of the first Saw movie until the last and final Saw film it really is a nice theme after all and I enjoyed it.

The traps of the first Saw are really nice and they are all introduced in the first movie. The introduction of the reverse bear trap and the bathroom trap is a really good way to introduce the series. All of the traps in this film are nice and creative but not bloody because this film didn't have a lot of graphic violence and less gore compared to the sequels. But despite that the first Saw didn't have a lot of graphic violence and gore this film still had the tension and suspense on the right routine and this will always be the first best Saw film that you can't beat because this had a lot of tension and suspense while the sequels followed the exact same path as the first movie only that it is full of nonstop and insane graphic violence and gore but I really enjoyed the Saw films even though I hated the second and fourth Saw film I still like all of them because the film has been really successful and Twisted Pictures and Lionsgate seriously enjoy this franchise and they never gave up after all.
Director James Wan and his writing partner Leigh Whannell seriously did a good job with their work on the first Saw film and they really showed proof that both of them are really good when it comes to the Horror genre. They haven't been involved in the later on Saw sequels after the third movie and Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan mainly took over the later on sequels while James and Leigh remain as executive producers of the Franchise. Another good thing about Saw is the introduction of John Kramer the mastermind of the Saw series and the creator of all of the trap ideas. Tobin Bell does a unique job with his performance as Jigsaw aka John Kramer and his role is perfect for this movie and he knows what he's doing with his role in the film and John Kramer is one genius when he made some of the traps in the first Saw films and I think that Tobin Bell's character really became popular when the films came out and Jigsaw is one smart killer so far when he is introduced in the first Saw film. Overall Saw is a great Horror film that has the right amount of tension, suspense and genuine spooks and scares and despite the lacking of violence and gore this is still a good movie along with it's sequels.

The Thing (2011); Witness the origins of the alien infection in this prequel to the 1982 John Carpenter classic

John Carpenter fans get ready to see the new 2011 version of The Thing. But it is not a remake of Carpenter's original 1982 classic. This movie is a prequel to the 1982 classic that explains the backstories of the Norwegian camp on what happened and where the first Alien incident happened before we go to the 1982 John Carpenter classic. Now for the review of this movie. John Carpenter's The Thing was a really good Horror film in the early 80's I was amazed with JC's movie because when I watched it first I was amazed with the movie itself and everything was perfect for that movie the special and practical effects were one of the things that amazed me a lot with that film and John Carpenter seriously knows what he's doing with his work on that film. For the 2011 prequel the fans are seriously up on their sleeves to watch this film because they find that the entire film is looking neat and awesome. When I watched the 2011 prequel I was seriously amazed with the film. It pays homage to the 1982 John Carpenter classic because it followed the entire concept and it is faithful to the 1982 John Carpenter classic.
This prequel to the 1982 John Carpenter classic is a fresh and clean version of that film and it really had a lot of explanations that are easy to follow and it followed the footsteps of the 1982 classic with the same kind of feel as the original but done in a new style because the 1982 John Carpenter classic was done in an old school style and everything that the film carries is that this movie had the exact same feel as the original and the music is much more newer in this prequel compared to the 1982 classic.
This version really had the right amount of tension and scares. All of the genuine spooks and scares are really effective for this movie the concept is pretty neat and nice while the other good things about this film is that the movie is shot in a cleaner and nice way like the 1982 classic. Usually I really enjoyed this film and there are differences between this version along with the 1982 John Carpenter classic. The differences with this version is that the 1982 John Carpenter classic has the unbelievable sense of paranoia while this version has the same paranoia feel but it also has the unbelievable sense of claustrophobia which makes the movie look good and it really fits well to the movie.

What's different also to this movie is that the film's special effects are mixed in this version compared to the 1982 classic. Unlike the 1982 classic that film uses special and practical effects and the effects were really good and controlled and it was really perfect for the entire film and it made the movie look good. This version uses mixed effects mainly because the effects on this film are practical and special effects mixed with CGI effects there are certain scenes where the CGI needs to be used like the picture here of the two headed aliens that scene uses CGI because practical effects sometimes is difficult and the use of CG is really important when you work on these kinds of movies and all the monsters in this movie are really creative and it is seriously true art and every alien in this film look neat and amazing as well.




All of the effects were wonderful and really crafted and I didn't find any of the CGI to be distracting overall and I just don't get the reason on why CGI is not good for movies at all. I mean CGI is really important when you work on these kinds of movies because what you can do in the early times can't be done again in the modern world and you really must use CGI in many important ways and CGI sometimes doesn't make the movie look ugly at all but in certain movies it makes the film look bad and ugly although I never had problems with the CGI in this movie and it really fits well for this movie and the CGI was never distracting at all when I watched this film and it was perfect for the movie after all. The music by Marco Beltrami is really nice and I also like the idea that the main theme of the 1982 classic was used in the last part of the film and it is a perfect start for the 1982 classic when that song played in the ending. Director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. seriously did a good job with his directing with this movie and he pays homage to John Carpenter when he made this film along with writer Eric Heisserer(who also did a good job with his writing on Final Destination 5 and A Nightmare On Elm Street remake)and Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. followed John Carpenter's footsteps when he made this film and I seriously like the way he worked on this movie and he really followed Carpenter's footsteps for some reason and he succeeded when he made this film and I'm proud with it so far and overall this prequel to the 1982 classic is a really big success and it is a perfect prequel to the 1982 classic.

Paranormal Activity 3: See how it all began and get ready for another sleepless night

Last October 28, 2011 me and my sister went to watch the premiere of Paranormal Activity 3 in Glorietta the seats in the cinema was almost full and some of the audiences were wearing various Halloween outfits like the devil horn head bands that every toy store like Toy Kingdom sell every Halloween only. When the movie was starting already all the audiences were about to scream from the first night of the movie until the next night scenes.When the scares were about to start the audiences were already screaming and they were saying various words like they will sleep with the lights on and other stuff as well. The movie was incredibly thrilling and suspenceful plus the film itself is full of heart pouding scares and chills as well. The great things about the new Paranormal Activity film is that the movie also has a really chilling, creepy and dark atmosphere that the first two didn't have so far. Plus the film itself is full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end and you'll beg for mercy when you watch the film. I instantly jumped 2-10 times because the film itself was incredibly suspenceful, scary and thrilling as well even my sister she just watched 80% of the film because of it's genuine scares and thrilling sequences that will make you scream really hard. Like the first two the third Paranormal Activity film is a movie where there's no place safe even when it is daylight which means bad things can happen anytime anywhere even when nothing is happening you will still scream in every scene and you won't be able to look at the screen when the scares start. I was overall proud with this movie finally at least it's not disappointing as the first two the scares were really thrilling and good and the two directors of this film Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman really inject the film with lots of jamming on screen and over the top suspense and scares that will keep you screaming until the end of the movie and Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman are like DJ's trying to make the crowd dance on the floor when they directed this movie so far and I'm proud with their work with Paranormal Activity 3 so I hope that there's a Paranormal Activity 4 next year.
