Insidious is one of those films with less gore and creates environmental horror in it's theme. I have enjoyed this movie and I can tell you that it is one good movie worth enjoying If you like horror. It starts off with character development and slowly gets into the point where things are rushed to end. It may not be ending the way you like it or may not be good story for you but It is worth watching once.

It does feel like you are watching some horror show episode with short story and the directors have managed to pull up some good story there.

What to like about this movie

Slow pace with character development.
Situational horror story.
Nice acting from the characters.

What not to like about this movie.

Short story doesn't cut much expectations.

Check out Insidious on DVD or watch online.

I can't say if it is collection worthy but I can surely say that it is worth watching atleast once if you like horror movie.

None of the gory horror movies made the cut in 2012. So I decided to go with the psychological horror genre.

The movie Sinister was very good and It was worth checking out If you like horror movies. It was entertaining for almost every type of the horror movie viewer. It is not gory but it has excellent psychological story that will keep you hooked to the chair till the end. And you are going to love the ending of this movie.

Buggul deity is known among continents like Europe and Asia (esp India) that takes kids away from the parents.The story of this deity is turned in a such way that it hooks you up to the movie.

What to like about this movie:

Faster pace yet better character development
Good direction
Excellent story twist

What not to like about the movie:

Nothing much.
Non-horror fans may not like the psychological touch.

I personally found this movie interesting and collection worthy. You can grab Sinister DVD. It has everything you expect from the psychological thriller/horror movie.

Listing some of the best zombie films of all time here. You'll find the variety of the zombie movies from back in time to the modern flicks. I am going to update the list If I found some worthy movies to list.

There are plenty of movies to list but I am skipping funny zombie flicks as there are too many of those and doesn't do justice for this list, in my opinion. Feel free to let me know about your favorite zombie flick.

REC

Spanish Zombie Horror movie. It was later adapted by Hollywood under the title "quarantine" and "quarantine : terminal". The reason I like REC is because story starts slowly introducing every character and then suddenly puts you into the middle of zombie outbreak. It doesn't start with scary zombie environment but It does end with some chills, leaving you expecting more. It is under found footage horror category, still best zombie movie you can find out there.

Dead Snow

Starts with typical plot of people coming at snow cabin and then zombie outbreak. The catch here is that these are zombie nazis so expect some fun there. It was rated as one of the best zombie flicks by many reviewers out there. Definitely worth watching.

Osombie

Talibani zombies. Cheesy on most points but does have a good plot and also the direction is cool. The effects and the overall setup of the talibani zombies is done perfectly. If you're fan of zombie flicks then give this flick a shot.

28 Days Later

Not technically zombie movie but it is worth mentioning here. It has some good moments of outbreak and also shows you a much different variation of the zombie flick. I have not much negative about this review but it is definitely good and worth listing here.

Dawn of The Dead

This movie is mix of humor, action, horror and sacrifice. You'll find some good zombiecalypse stuff in this movie. Plot and the direction is very good and in short, it is one of my favorite zombie movie.

Planet Terror

Typical military experiment failure leading to zombie outbreak plot. However, some of the stuff is funny and have some good slasher stuff in it. It's a nice movie overall and worth watching at-least once If you're zombie fan.

Dead Girl

Story of two boys finding a girl imprisoned in the abandoned asylum. It's interesting zombie movie. Something quite different from most of the zombie plots where outbreak and the slashing takes most of the time in the life.

Shaun of The Dead

It has mix of humor and zombie slashing. It is not that scary and does have some odd funny bits here and there. I don't call it cheesy zombie flick but It is funny. Nothing negative to point out though as the movie entertains you very well.

Land of The Dead

Zombie with some drama is what you're going to see in this movie from the start. It's not your typical slash n run type zombie movie. It does have some drama from zombie POV too. Overall It's a good zombie flick worth watching at-least once.

Versus

Japanese zombie horror flick. Expect lots of slasher stuff and acting is somewhat B grade, however the movie plot is good and they did it in much better way compared to most of the failed zombie horror movies. If you like Japanese takes on most of the Hollywood concept then I guess you'll like this movie.

Night Of The Living Dead

There are two versions of this movie. First one being the original and is quite old yet a good zombie flick. A second one on the other hand is remake of the first movie and is worth watching. Arguably the best chilling zombie flick of all time.

I Walked With A Zombie

Old Zombie Flick but worth watching at-least once. I have known some of the fans of this movie even though it is old black and white movie. It does have a plot which is worth for remake in this decade.

Yet another found footage movie but this time they have bigfoot aka sasquatch as theme. Not many good bigfoot found footage movies are out there. Most of the bigfoot movies are either B grade movies or maybe some random documentaries. This movie tackles a different take on the bigfoot genre.

Plot : It starts with bunch of low budget filming crew trying to interview a hilbily who lives nearby a sasquatch nest. Film crew is not organized for their plans of shoot and there are some clashes in between them. Still they manage to hold together and record series of bigfoot sightings and trying to make sense what is going on around them.

At first you feel like you're actually watching a conspiracy theory movies where bigfoots are portrayed as dimensional traveler beings. The some events happen with the crew that changes the things entirely.

I am not going to spoil much of the story now. You can watch on your own and see if you like it.

What about negative reviews?

People who only appreciated blair witch project are going to criticize every other found footage movie in future. So this movie was also criticized as well for not holding much for the thril. It is upto you to decide how much it offered you.

What to like about the movie-

Twisted endings.
Multiple theories within the entire movie.
Atmosphere in woods.

What not to like -

Confusing parts with no development on them.
A bit dragged on film crew conversation part.

I can't say it is collectible worthy movie but I am planning to keep a DVD of Bigfoot: Lost Coast Tapes, just because it has interesting take on bigfoot movie. That said, I think It is definitely worth a watch If you are into found footage movies.

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?
