Nothing Left to Fear (2013)
Stolen Story (SPOILER)
I don't have much to add to these already great reviews except to say the movie is a complete knock off mostly of the HALLOWEEN franchise (in addition to the others you guys mentioned).
1. Remember in Halloween: Curse of Michael Myers; and the other movies, it was explained that Michael was to kill all of his family as a sort of sacrifice to ward off a greater evil or destruction to the world? Same thing with her. He had the curse of the "thorn" or something like that; she had a big tooth that looked like a thorn in a cake. She also had the lemonade curse and others.
2. Also, that Michael kind of quietly stalks his victims, but is always tricked somehow and near-killed allowing the others to get away? The demon in this movie was tricked into the church to "close the door." Notice Michael always comes back to try to complete his mission of getting the family member.
It's the same basic story. Basically, when Michael misses his victim, he starts killing others around. I swear to you on this movie on the part where her little brother got inside the house, I thought the demon was going to "break the norm" somehow and go inside the blood-marked X house to get its prey.
Basically the same as Halloween series.
If I had never seen other horror movies, I'd have liked this movie a lot as everything would not have been so familiar.
A decent, morality in the grey area type of horror movie. Pretty good considering since the end of the Cold War, there is less of a polarized world. Less of a "Good and Evil" world of black and white. It's a grey area. Watch movies from the 1950s through the early 1970s especially, and in general from the 1950s to 1990 and you see that simple conception of evil and good. In this movie, it's hard to call anyone evil at the end except the demon itself. I'd still wish to find some other way than sacrificing other families.
Bloody Mary (2006)
Dead Ends Galore!
This movie was awful; It wasn't just plain stupid. It felt like the director just forgot to tell his own story. Who is the locked-up guy with all the face-sores who goes to Mary's "den" at the end? Mary's mediary or what? Did he have something to do with patient Mary's time in the hospital years before? Why were the nurses even working for or worshipping Mary? For what? Why did the good doctor suddenly become all weird and attack the cop? The eyeballs Mary brought to him to put in his unlocked, open locker? What was the point of that stupidness? If the director had at least said they were doing it for eternal beauty or something and said something about the face-sore guy, I'd upgrade this movie to STUPID instead of AWFUL, CONFUSING, and MISSING three quarters of the plot. I'll never get these two hours of my life back :(
