Halloween Horror Movies!

-
Hey Guys x

Halloween is tomorrow, and as someone who loves a good horror movie or two (or ten!), I am very excited for it! Mainly to sit down and watch some horror movies.

So I decided to share some of the films that I'm watching around the Halloween period. Hopefully you'll be able to watch some of them!

Just be warned, when I say a film isn't scary, people tell me that I'm crazy because they found it really scary, so you may find some of these more scary than I did, so watch the trailers first!

Annabelle


This film is the prequel to 'The Conjuring'. It is about a couple, about to have a baby, who purchase a doll that the woman has wanted for ages. However, as soon as they purchase the doll, weird things start happening. So weird, that the husband tries to throw the doll away and they move house. But somehow, they can never seem to get rid of Annabelle!
This is a great horror film, especially if you want to be scared on Halloween. I don't really find horror films that scary, but even I know that this film is scary!

The Attic
 
This is a great film that isn't that scary. It's about a family who move into a new house with little idea of what the history is of the family that lived there before. However, as the electricity turns on and off, things are moved to mysterious places and people who go into the attic never come out, are this family living alone. Or is there someone else hidden in the attic?
I don't know if I described it well, but it's a great film. It's not supernatural, so it's not that scary, which is great if you're not that big of a horror fan!

Ouija
 
This is scary depending on how you feel about Ouija (pronounced 'Wigi') boards! It's about a girl called Lane, whose best friend Debbie mysteriously dies after using a Ouija board. When she learns this, Lane gathers a group of friends together, and uses Debbie's Ouija board to find out what happened to her friend. However, when you open the portal to another world, it's not that easy to close it again...
I personally love this film and watch it all the time, just because I like the concept, the actors are amazing and there's a twist in it that gave me chills!

The Visit
 
This is the horror film that I have seen the most recently as it's quite new, but it's so good that it had to be included here! Two children, who have never met their grandparents, go to visit them for the first time. At first, everything seems completely normal... until they realise that there's something wrong with Nana...
This is such an interesting film with a great concept and an amazing twist near the end that may just keep you up at night!

Orphan
 
This one is such a great idea! A couple with two children, tragically miscarry their third, and realise that the only way to have another child would be to adopt. Enter Esther, a girl at an orphanage who they instantly take to. But when strange things start happening, and the family begin to turn against each other, just who did they let into their house?
This is a classic horror film that I really love and I can watch it over and over again!

These are five films that I'm probably going to be watching this Halloween!

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

-

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

-

  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

-

  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
