Evidence 2012 Found Footage Film

Jan. 5th, 2013 11:59 pm
Evidence is one of the concept mashup found footage movies where you get to see multiple thriller concepts. Evidence has three different horror and thriller concepts mashed up and presented to you. It does have some positive reviews from the fans but It didn't made me much exciting.

Plot : It starts with group of campers getting annoyed with things around them late at night. Then the story moves completely into different level.




I don't want to spoil things but you're going to be shocked and annoyed at the same time how the speed changes. At first story moves very slowly and then you think it is typical horror in the woods. Then things starts to make sense and at the end, It takes another tangent.

So there are plenty of things that are going on in the movie. It would be really hard to connect things as they are so poorly thrown at the viewer.

What to Like about Movie -
  • Creature. It is not completely revealed till the end.
  • Dark atmosphere. Most of the movie runs in the night and you miss many details.

What not to like about movie-
  • Too fast. Even for those who like fast paced movies.
  • Mash-up of concepts and thrill will turn off many viewers.

I am not going to recommend this movie for DVD collection. It is not even worth single watch because It's not good as per my taste. However, those who like found footage genre should check it out, who knows you may like it?

V/H/S Movie

Jan. 4th, 2013 03:57 am
VHS film falls into found-footage movie genre. It is mix of horror and thriller story smashup.

Intro: Gang of muggers trying to vandalize one property after another get one gig of taking a VHS tape out of abandoned old house. To their surprise they found old man in coma or sleep for hours. Each person starts to look for the tape. One of them starts to play some tapes from nearby collection. This is where the smashup of VHS stories starts.




There are total five stories, each with unique twist into it. Each story will make you think. At the end, you will find how the entire plot of muggers ends. So that's total six stories for you.

What to Like about Movie -
  • Stories. 3 out of 5 stories are good. I am not going to name them but let you decide.
  • Acting.
  • Atmosphere.

What not to Like about Movie
  • 2 bad stories.
  • Poor night vision footage.

It is definitely in my list of "watch during Halloween" type of movies. I personally think that these stories are worth replay value. I suggest getting DVD of VHS movie from Amazon If you like found footage horror movies.

Hensel & Gretel - Heljelgwa geuretel 2007 (Korean Film)

Jan. 3rd, 2013 09:04 pm
Hensel & Gretel also known as Heljelgwa geuretel is a korean thriller movie. It is not scary or slasher flick. It has a perfect balance of mystery, sadness and happy ending. If you like psychological thriller movies then you're going to love Heljelgwa geuretel.



What to Like about this Movie -
  • Overall arrangement of the Story.
  • Ending of the Movie.
  • Music.
  • Character Development.

What Not to Like about this Movie -
  • Slightly Slow paced. ( Nothing dragged however.  )
  • Confusing at some points. (It could be because of foreign language Issues).

There's a vibe of sadness that flows through this entire movie. If you ever lived your life in loneliness then you're going to feel very emotional on some parts of the movie. Ending doesn't turn out to be happy but left on viewers that Happiness is a choice.

It is one of the best psychological thriller mystery movie from Korea. Atleast that's how I found it to be. I personally found this movie DVD Collectible. I rented it at first and then decided to get a copy. I can't say for everyone but I liked this movie and will surely recommend this to anyone who likes psychological thriller.

You can get the DVD of Hensel & Gretel from Amazon.

Another Kind Movie Review

Jan. 2nd, 2013 08:11 pm
It's not found footage movie. It's not like Blair witch project copy either. Period.

Another Kind starts with a group of hikers looking for some change in their lives. Story develops from their camping journey and slowly things starts to make sense to viewers. For typical slasher and found footage movie fan, this movie is very slow. You'll feel like you are watching some atmospheric horror movie in 90s. If you like such slow paced creepy movies then it is a treat.



It's not like X-files type movie. It's not alien abduction either. So set your expectations wisely.

What to Like about this movie -
  • Atmosphere. Snow, Woods and Darkness.
  • Music.

What not to like -
  • Pace of the movie. A bit dragged in some points.
  • Less details on aliens part.

It's definitely one of those horror flicks with one time play value. I don't think it's worth DVD purchase. You can consider watching it on Netflix or Amazon.
