"Dead and Breakfast" Fear Friday Selection July 12-18

Here we go with this week's Fear Friday title. You will either love me or hate me for this one. This week we are viewing the 2004 classic (hehe) "Dead and Breakfast". This is a big cheesy slice of horror movie heaven.

A van full of young people are forced to stay at a quaint little B&B in the middle of one hell of a town. We have Zombies, bad jokes, lots of squirting blood and a roaming band playing music as it happens. Yep! If you're looking for big names they aren't here, but it does star two of my favorites...Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Supernatural, Grey's Anatomy, The Watchmen) and Jeremy Sisto (May, Waitress, Law and Order). Others lucky enough to be in this gem...David Carradine, Ever Carradine, Portia de Rossi, Erik Palladino, Gina Philips and Diedrich Bader.

So go rent it (or borrow it), pick a night to watch it (we won't tell if it's not actually Friday), make some popcorn, turn off the lights and meet back here on Saturday with your questions answered and opinions ready to fly. There will be a new "review post" for everyone to post their answers on. Enjoy!

Fear Friday review of "Skinwalker".

So, what did everyone think of this week's selection "Skinwalkers"? I was quite surprised by this movie as I thought it might be a disaster. So here we go with the question and answers.

• Did this movie make you jump, yawn or laugh? I would go with laugh. This is the perfect example of a brilliantly bad movie. It was fun, silly and made me giggle. A decadent cheesy little treat.


• Did you like or dislike the monster/villain? These villains are great. They are a cross between extras in a Mad Max movie and a biker gang from a music video. Growing up on 80's movies I'm use to the bad guys looking like this. If I wanted this movie to be really good this would be a bad sign, but since I gave in to the silliness they seemed right at place.


• If you were one of the characters in the movie which one would you be? Who wouldn't want to be the bad girl with the really big boobs who's kickin' ass and takin' down names? But I'm sure I'd end up being the mom who doesn't have a clue. She thinks her husband is dead but he's really a Skinwalkin' Wolf Man who's having fun with the chick with the really big boobs.


• If the monster/villain could have had one superpower what should it have been? They seem to have lots of powers to start with. They scale walls like Spiderman, have a heightened sense of smell and heal extremely quickly. Maybe they could have flown. Flying werewolves sound pretty cool.


• What was the best line or scene in the movie? I loved the gun fight about 20 minutes in to the movie. It was very over the top and completely cheesy. Especially liked the part when Nana turned around and was packin' heat. With her last bullet she hits the gas pump and gloriously blows up the gas station. Ah...you know you're in for a good one right then and there.

So leave your answers and let me know what you thought of it. We'll be back tomorrow with next week's film.

Winner of the Twitter contest for choice of necklace was Amy (Nerderific). She decided on this little piece of Pulp Fiction splendor. Thanks to everyone for playing. We will have another Twitter only contest next month.

"Skinwalkers" Fear Friday Selection June 28 - July 4

This weeks selection is the 2006 "Skinwalkers". So go rent it, pick a night to watch it (we won't tell if it's not actually Friday), make some popcorn, turn off the lights and meet back here on Saturday with your questions answered and opinions ready to fly. Enjoy!

Questions...

• Did this movie make you jump, yawn or laugh?


• Did you like or dislike the monster/villain?


• If you were one of the characters in the movie which one would you be?


• If the monster/villain could have had one superpower what should it have been?


• What was the best line or scene in the movie?

Fear Friday review of "The Uninvited".

So, what did everyone think of this week's selection "The Uninvited"? I was pleasantly surprised by what I thought would be a non threatening PG-13 film. So here we go with the question and answers.

• Did this movie make you jump, yawn or laugh? I would have to say jump. While not really scary it was on the creepy side. A lot of the images were a bit disturbing as they crawled, grabbed and just plain bothered people.
  
• Did you like or dislike the monster/villain? At first we are suppose to assume the soon to be step mom to be the villain and what a villain she is. Played wonderfully by Elizabeth Banks, Rachel seemed to be the perfect evil step mom out to rule the roost. But what a lovely surprise to find out that she was not the evil in this store but one of the victims. The true villain was played equally as a good by Emily Browning as the deeply disturbed Anna. I love a good twist and I never saw this one coming.
  
• If you were one of the characters in the movie which one would you be? I suppose I would end up being the main character Anna. Wake up one moment and realized "Hey, I'm the crazy one. Damn..."
  
• If the monster/villain could have had one superpower what should it have been? I really couldn't come up with a super power for this one. So sue me.
  
• What was the best line or scene in the movie? I really enjoyed the scene where Anna's boy friend comes to visit her late one night by crawling through her window. Almost from the get-go you know something is not right and as it becomes increasingly more obvious that Matt is not alright you prepare for that "eeewwwww" moment. Then the camera pulls back and we see that Matt is no longer living and something is soooo wrong with his back. Watching him desperately trying to move towards Anna is sad and creepy all at the same time.

So leave your answers and let me know what you thought of it. We'll be back tomorrow with next week's film.
