DARKNESS (2002) FOUR TOP HATS

September 12, 2012 by theipc

I have to admit something to you, My Friends. When I first saw this, when it came out, there was something in here that scared me. I don’t remember if it was the thing crawling around on the ceiling or the first time I had encountered the “slow pan backwards into the dark room with shadowy dark dead children ghosts” atmosphere but something really give me the creeps in this. If you caught my thoughts on the pitiful CLOSETS the other day, […]

V/H/S (2012) FOUR TOP HATS

August 31, 2012 by theipc

V/H/S is an anthology featuring work by a couple of my favorite directors, so I have been waiting for this for quite awhile and now it’s finally out on demand and I have to say that I totally loved (most) of it!! We all know what an anthology is by now and, no offense to anyone involved, but this blows the horror comedy CHILLERAMA away. This consists of four independent segments and then one “wrap around” which is supposed to […]

THE PACT (2012) FOUR TOP HATS

May 30, 2012 by theipc

If The Good and Awesome and Beloved Reader has been reading my posts for even two seconds, The Good and Patient Reader will recognize a few things: I “talk” way too much, I watch a lot of movies, I hope to like everything I see and I can get suckered into renting something pretty easily with either a wicked title or trailer. If (wait for it) IF – you happen to look at the trailer for this and think that this […]

APARTMENT 143 (2011) FOUR TOP HATS

April 27, 2012 by theipc

This morning I made two mistakes (Gob: I have made a huge mistake)… The first being that I decided to take a different route to work to avoid all of that traffic where the east / west highway intersects with the north / south and ended up on a two lane road where apparently everyone else on this side of the city goes to avoid the same thing and sat through four damn stop light intervals for probably an additional […]

THE SILENT HOUSE (2011) THREE TOP HATS

February 25, 2012 by theipc

After lunch today, in a starch coma, I was scrolling through the trailers on Apple TV and saw that we are in store for an American remake of the Uruguayan / Spanish “The Silent House” – whatever… This time around we get the third Olsen kid, Elizabeth Olsen – who struck it big in Martha Marcy May Marlene, as the beleaguered youth who gets some scares in the mystery house. I remembered I liked the old one and thought I would reflect on my […]
