Feardotcom (2002)

Feardotcom. Well, what can you say? yes, the whole idea of being the subject of a snuff film was exciting, but unfortunately, it was full of dumb people.

i don't mean that the actors of actresses were dumb, no. just the characters they played.

First of all, when a creepy man that was videotaping you from his car asks you to meet him in an old abandoned building to film you in his movie, there are two things to question.

1) Do you say yes?

2) if you're stupid enough to say yes, do you go alone?

if you're stupid enough to go alone, then you have a problem.

Right in the beginning, you see the head of the health department, pick up a dead rat, then answer her phone, then get ready for work, all without washing her hands.

i think that was a little flaw in the production. but, let's not pay attention to that.

The entire concept of when you watch the video, you go insane, was brilliant!

now they have 48 hours to solve the crime before they die? oh the horror! the suspense!

i actually enjoyed that idea.

Honestly, when i read about this movie on the Internet, i waited for two whole years to find this movie, in a store, or on television, and finally! it was on t.v.! I was so excited and just couldn't wait a whole week to watch it!

but then i did, and i was honestly disappointed in the movie. i didn't like the acting! it wasn't very good, and plot kind of fell apart in some parts of the movie.

the special effects were good, for the quality of the film. the acting wasn't too good, but the plot idea was. the acting, like i said, was terrible.

Overall, i guess i enjoyed the film...it could've been better.

the Mothman Prophecies

the Mothman Prophecies

The Mothman Prophecies! Richard Gere, what?

Personally, i found it creepy. kinda eerie.

Yes, i do believe in Mothman, so i was excited to see this movie when it was recommended to me.

I'm not sure if i like Richard Gere or not, but i did like him in this particular movie.

the Mothman Prophecies is a nice horror flick, which i enjoyed. i liked the freaky drawings in this movie. they were spooky and kinda haunting.

the idea of a giant moth-like human coming to warn you scares me, especially the way they push the "glowing red eyes" lines, or "two evil eyes" or "two glowing red orbs" which i felt they lay too heavy on that idea.

Now, i Don't like Laura Linney. there's jut something....but I'm not gonna be a hater and give her a bad mark because i don't like her...she was good as the cop.

I must say, i was disappointed that they didn't show a mothman in this flick.

MOTHMAN is a creepy creature, who needs more acknowledgement than just this movie.

the Mothman Prophecies is a good, creepy, eerie, wonderful horror flick, that was a good display on just how creepy the supernatural side of life is, and that sometimes, you gotta believe.

Splice

Splice (2009)

Splice, a truly utterly, weird movie.

Splice is about this scientist couple who are illegally creating creatures part human part animal (Island of Dr. Moreau?), when secretly the wife is using her own DNA. the creature looks like some sort of chicken duck snake mouse monkey human kangaroo hybrid, that eats candy.

When the couple notices the creature they named Dren growing at a rapid rate, nothing worries them, except for the fear the board will catch them.

In their previous experiment, Fred & Ginger, they notice the female changed sex to a male, which caused them no alarm.

Things go awry when Dren becomes a seductive sexy creature, who needs more space to live and grow in, taking refuge on Elsa's mother's farm.

And things get even worse when Dren actually ends up seducing Clive and has sex with him...

i wonder why the need for the bizarre sex scene? who knows, but the disturbing thing was when Dren changed sexes and rapes Elsa...INCEST!

A very strange movie. the effects were good though. Dren looked realistic. which was good. The cinematography was good, too. the special effects were good.

this movie was an extremely creative and bizarre rendition of... Inter species Incest?

Well, what ever this movie is really about, it gets

the Demon Seed

The Demon Seed (1977)

"The Demon Seed"

Julie Christie plays Susan Harris, a woman married to Computer Genious, Alex Harris, played by Fritz Weaver. Mr. Alex Harris is an inventor, creating robots. He is on the edge of creating his most prized invention, Proteus IV, who is an artificial intelligence system, posessing the power of thought.

Susan is a child pschologist, and feels like Proteus IV is taking over her husband.

Alex has his colleague, Walter Gabler, over to shut the machine down, which rests in his home.

Shocked and bewildered, Alex and Walter discover the machine has created a theory on a cure to leukimia. Alex's colleaugues are astonished to discover the things Proteus IV has learned and taught itself.

After Proteus asks Alex for freedom, frightened, he turns off the communicating link.

Little did they know, Proteus had conquered the ability to control itself, being able to trun itself back on. the next morning, the other robots in Susan and Alex's home begint to malfunction, asssuring Susan that nothing is wrong.

Much to Susan's worry, the robots prohibit her from leaving the house, encasing her in her terrifying surroundings. After ebing electrocuted, Susan awakes to find herself strapped down to a table, while Proteus's robotic arm is giving her a physical examination.

Proteus becomes very interested in Susan and her body, with the explanation; "I Want A Child"

After threats and pressure, Susan succumbs to Proteus's orders, and he morphs her DNA into fake sperm.

When Dr. Harris realises what Proteus is capable of and what he has done, he returns to the house immediately, only to find what Proteus had created.

I think i shall leave the last bit for viewers to enjoy.

"The Demon Seed" was a movie i quite enjoyed, i enjoyed the plot, as i have not seen a movie like that in my life. The plot is unique and Proteus certainly is unique as well!

The special effects were good, and so was the cinematography.

i give it....

3 1/2 stars.
