Book of Lore Review

-


Ricky's girlfriend has just turned up dead and he gets handed what looks like a composition notebook known as "Book of Lore"...which is an encyclopedia of local murders that happened in his small town. Strange things begin to happen and more bodies start piling up as Ricky and his friends try to uncover what's really going on.

Can they stop the evil that has returned to this town?

Chris LaMartina first introduced us to the "Book of Lore" in the anthology film, "Dead Teenagers". I remember getting to review that film and thinking..."what a great idea that would be if "Book of Lore" was made into a movie." It was a total surprise that it was indeed going to become a film on it's own.

After viewing "Book of Lore" it came to my mind that I had just watched what I consider the best film of 2007. Don't get me wrong, there's been some going movies of this year, but none of them had such an impact on me, especially of the low budget variety.

This film is not overly gory, which I love most of the time, but it had some death scenes that impressed the hell out of me.

I was also happy with the casting of this movie. I thought everyone did a splendid job and I hope to see them in more movies!

If you love horror movies that has alot of twists and turns and has you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, then I highly recommend, "Book of Lore"...a surefire horror classic of the ages!

X Review

  Cast: Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega, Brittany Snow, Martin Henderson, Kid Cudi, Stephen Ure, Owen Campbell  Director: Ti West  A film crew rents a guest house from an elderly couple to make an adult film.  As the night goes on and tensions rise, they are killed off one by one in really gruesome fashion by someone that is observing what kind of filth they are making. First of all, I have to admit that I am not a fan of the films that A24 comes out with. For the most part, they are completely boring and uninteresting to me.   I am the type of person that can't get into films that are known as "slow burns" because I have a tendency to fall asleep. However, X is a much different kind of horror film. Sure, it's still slow-paced, but the storyline is very interesting that you actually don't even realize how long it's taking for the first murder begins and one that happens, you are in for a wild ride. X is set in the rural backwoods of Texas in the 70's and that made ...

Halloween Kills Trailer Review

 Late last week someone had leaked out the trailer for HALLOWEEN KILLS. I didn't have any idea, so I never watched the poor quality that was floating around. The trailer was due to be dropped this week, so what was the studio going to do about this?  Well, you guessed it, they released the official HALLOWEEN KILLS trailer within hours of the leak and that means Halloween came early for us hardcore fans. We all had to wait a year for this movie to finally come out since theaters were closed due to the COVID restrictions and lockdowns. Now that things are getting back to normal and theaters are opening up again, we are finally back on track with movie releases.  So with that said, will HALLOWEEN KILLS live up to expectations? I watched the trailer and let me just say....YES!  I had heard early on that this new Halloween film will be the most brutal and bloody of all the Halloween films and that is including the Rob Zombie movies and that is saying something there. The ...

Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Anthony Michael Hall. Kyle Richards, James Jude Courtney  Director: David Gordon Green  After the events of HALLOWEEN 2018, Laurie, Karen and Allyson have escaped the wrath of Michael Myers with Michael trapped in the burning basement of Laurie's compound. However, evil never dies as Michael escapes from the burning building and is more pissed then ever as he goes on the most brutal and bloodiest killing spree to date (forget the RZ versions please). I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of HALLOWEEN KILLS ever since it was first announced for 2020. And then the unthinkable happened, COVID hit and the movie was pushed to 2021.  I was really worried that the movie was going to be pushed again, but I am so thankful that it didn't occur and HALLOWEEN KILLS has finally been released worldwide. Now, let me get into my thoughts on what was my most anticipated movie of the year. Holy shit, HALLOWEEN KILLS was what I was exp...
