The Houses October Built (2014)

A great horror flick to watch around Hallowe'en time for the creepy factor

[8/10 · 12 January 2015]

I scored this high because it isn't like any movie I've seen before. Its not as much as scary as it is creepy, however. In my opinion, its a movie that plays more on an individuals phobias than anything else for that kind of fear factor. I won't go into detail because I don't want to spoil it for anyone - but you have to be into hand held camera movies like 'The Blair Witch Project' to enjoy it.

I read through the negative 'don't waste your time' comments and came across a positive one which swayed it for me, I watched it and wasn't disappointed, so hopefully you won't be either. Its original, realistic, and if you get really into it, it will certainly creep you out.

All Cheerleaders Die (2013)

A different and quirky take on a cheerleader/jock horror

***Possible spoiler but only regarding the style of movie**

I rated it a full 10 stars because I love finding those gems that really get you hooked. This was one for me, its not a typical cheesy cheerleader flick, its a quirky supernatural thriller - definitely one for the girls. I love me a good revenge movie with a heroine. The actors are great, its definitely good enough to be shown at the cinemas, its one of my favourite movies now!

Is it scary? No, not at all, but its dark, its funny, its damn weird - a cult, to me. You'll at least enjoy the weirdness of it.

I love how weird it is.
