Paranormal Activity 2: Witness once again the Horror in an all new level of fear and terror

This is not a good prequel to the first movie. To be honest I didn't like Paranormal Activity 2 that much and the entire film is seriously down the hill from start to finish there's nothing scary at all with part 2 and it's not as scary as the overrated part 3 although there are some scary moments with the film but that doesn't add up a lot and it could have been better. Paranormal Activity 2 lacks the suspense and tension that the first and third movie had and I wasn't fund of it a lot. Too bad that this movie could have been better and it is the weakest in the Paranormal Activity series.

I enjoyed:

What's good about Paranormal Activity 2 is that this film has a really creative style in suspense and tension and there are some great and scary scenes in the film(Beware the kitchen scene) and there's some suspense and genuine scares in the entire film that I do like plus the other great things about Paranormal Activity 2 is that the film is also entertaining and there's some great performances from the casts plus half of the scares are realistic.

I didn't enjoy:

What I hated about this film is that there are some scares that aren't scary at all and everything was just going down the hill really fast and this movie seriously didn't really do a good job. Other than that the entire film is lengthy and predictable and at most moments there are some thin moments plus the biggest downside of Paranormal Activity 2 is that the film takes so many hours before the suspense starts and I was seriously irritated and it made me shook my head in disbelief because of how boring the suspense starts so far could have been better.

Overall Paranormal Activity 2 is not a scary flick at all could have been better.

Paranormal Activity: Experience an all new haunting in the found footage genre

We go back to the start where the Horror starts before we start with the prequels. The original Paranormal Activity is a mediacore Horror flick that is not as good as the new Paranormal Activity film titled Paranormal Activity 3 although it is better than the lazy Paranormal Activity 2 and it has all the jolts and thrills that the second film lacked.I find the first movie to be ok and it's an average found footage clip but I don't find it to be nearly as good as the third film because this film doesn't have the same kind of suspense an tension that the third film had and everything wasn't really that good plus it's not atmospheric as the third film and this lacks the intensity of the third film.
What I like:
I enjoy that the whole film is really suspenceful, scary and really creepy(The shadow scene and the blanket scene along with the creepy possessed Katie staring at her boyfriend) plus the entire film is entertaining and there are lots of incredible camera work.
What I dislike:
The entire film suddenly started losing a lot of suspense and tension and there's no atmosphere and the movie itself could have been better and there are no more scary scenes in the later parts.
So far the first Paranormal Activity film is an average and mediacore Horror flick and it could have been better if it had more suspense and tension. Overall Paranormal Activity is an average Horror flick that tries to be scary but it is better than the lazy Paranormal Activity 2.

The Devil's Chair: Welcome to Black Water Asylum and sit at the most horrifying chair where evil waits










 There's one word I have to say about this movie and it is wow! What else can I say about this film all I can say is wow! Big surprise from Director Adam Mason. I totally love this Horror flick and it is easy enough to watch this film. For the most part The Devil's Chair is a big surprise Horror film and I can't believe it that Director Adam Mason and his writing partner Simon Boyes come up with a very clever idea and these two boys are seriously a genius when it comes to Horror films. And believe me I never watched they're first film Broken but I enjoyed this one at least and these two seriously should make more Horror movies in the future because I'm so amazed with they're work with The Devil's Chair and this is a great film that they made. There's no downside at all with the movie and everything is just perfect. I personally understand Mason and Boyes' idea with the film that they went from a totally different style and I have to admit that the chair is quite gruesome. This film is really serious for Adam Mason and Simon Boyes and the two are really smart and they're ideas are so good and full of energy. What I've seriously enjoyed about The Devil's Chair is that the entire film is atmospheric and yet this film is so thrilling and the big surprise with this movie is that it's loaded with lots and lots of blood and gore. It's seriously a recommended film and highly watchable. I've seriously had a good time watching this film and it ain't so bad after all and it's worth a watch for any Horror fan. For those of you ho are interested in watching more good old fashioned Horror films give this flick a try and I hope you'll enjoy it. Overall The Devil's Chair is a really gory Horror film with loads of twists and turns plus it's highly atmospheric and it is also a recommended Horror film for any Horror fan.

Apollo 18: The Dark Horror On The Moon

One of 2011's finest Horror films and a great example of a mediacore found footage film. Apollo 18 is a great Horror film that has the right amount of style and suspense as most found footage films and it is better than the other found footage films like Amityville Haunting, Gacy House and Paranormal Entity but this film stays true to other found footage films like Paranormal Activity, The Poughkeepsie Tapes and The Tunnel along with REC and it's remake Quarantine although this film is not nearly as good as the other found footage film The Devil Inside. Apollo 18 is a great Horror film with the right amount of style and it has a lot of good moments and this movie has everything for a found footage Horror film. The actors do a good job with they're roles in the film some of them aren't shallow and unlikable and the performances is neat and clean for the most part.
What I like about the film:
Apollo 18 is a clever movie like I said the film has the right kind of style as most found footage films. What I do love about Apollo 18 is that the camera work of the film is amazing and awesome and the film looks more like an actual footage than a movie itself because the camera work is very clever and really good. The editing by My Bloody Valentine Director Patrick Lussier is very clever and resourceful which makes the movie look good. The film is full of atmospheric sequences from the beginning until the end everything is just good and perfect from the settings to the atmosphere and it really makes you feel like your in the moon after all. I also enjoy the pacing of the film it's kinda slow but never boring overall. The film is also full of suspenceful scenes(The dead cosmonaut, The Infection, The camouflaged spider like alien creatures and the lunar rover)that makes you want to watch more of the film until the end.

The downside of the film:
There are some things I just didn't like about this film the weak looking CGI spider like alien creatures. The ending and a couple of problems with the pacing of the film in which the movie is sometimes thin and problematic in most parts so far.

Apollo 18 is one of the finest Horror films of 2011. So far Director Gonzalo Lopez Gallego and writer Brian Miller makes a mediacore Horror film that normally has a lot of good moments and they're work in the film is neat and tight I have to say so far. Overall Apollo 18 is a great Horror documentary film with the right kind of style and sometimes worth a watch for any Horror fan.
