Supposedly the photo below is of a deceased, elderly woman who died in front of her television set and was not found for weeks. Apparently this happens often... read more here.
So 'These Final Hours' is now on Netfix. I have to warn you to not watch this movie if you are in a good mood... it will ruin your day. If you are already having a bad day, this may push you over the edge or turn you into a blubbering mess. Either way, you have to see this film. This is the real story of the apocalypse that until now, has been hard to capture with both grace and grit.
This film is about what you would do with your final hours before the certain end of the world. The protagonist decides he doesn't want a quiet end with his lover and heads out with only hours to go in search of an epic party. Along the way, he is tested by passing horrible scenes of death and destruction until he finds one he can't just pass up. He saves a kidnapped little girl from being raped and murdered and vows to return her to her father once he goes to the epic party. I loved the truth this movie displays. I love the realistic views of humanity, the darkness in all of us, death, grief and love. This isn't a horror movie but it will move you and make you fear the end. I feel like too many movies glorify the end and make it live-able place... where this movie makes it clear that they are all just 'surviving' momentarily not living. Overall Ratings-- Scare Factor: Scenes of death and the apocalypse. Not scary but suspenseful. Rating: ❤❤❤❤ -xoxo, Pretty Scary The Green Inferno is Eli Roth's new horror film that takes horror out of America and to the Amazon rain forest. The movie was inspired by the infamous film, Cannibal Holocaust and it was pretty obvious those were the roots of this film. A group of activist college students go to the rain forest to tie themselves to some trees and upon a series of terrible events, end up in the custody of a secluded, primitive jungle tribe.
The entire movie held my attention and kept me guessing. I found it to be a quite unpredictable even though it felt like I had been here before. The movie is about a different type of horror... the horror that all monsters are human... the horror that there are situations you cannot escape or explain yourself... the horror once you realize that you have made a series of irreversible bad choices... the horror of knowing there is no hope. You aren't feeling scared with this film... but mildly uncomfortable with what you are seeing for 2 hours. The only thing I didn't like or would have changed is the ending. Feel free to let me know what you think of this too. SPOILER ALERT; I don't understand why she protected the tribe? Would you have protected your captors? It she being a humanitarian and protecting this piece of the world? Is it just because she saw good and humanity in the little boy? Also, I think it is a cop out that Alejandro may have made it out. They should have closed the door and ended it after her statement. Anyhow, I was very interested in the movie. I love taking horror to a new land and showing a new culture. I would recommend watching for sure but I don't think I will end up being a horror staple. Overall Ratings-- Scare Factor: Uncomfortable, violent scenes and suspense throughout, not so scary Rating: ❤❤❤
So lately... I'll be in the bathroom getting ready in the morning or doing my hair after a shower at night and all I hear is coughing and wheezing coming from the vents. I know an older couple lives below us and it is just the old man being sick... butttttt a part of me can't help thinking....
