100 Horror Films Challenge 2016 Update #2

I've got Mayhem this coming weekend which is adding 14 to my total if I use all my Wild Cards so if things keep going well I'll beat last year's pitiful score of 36!

October 6^th:

9.       Deepwater Horizon (2016, Action/Drama/Thriller)

-          I’m cheating again & counting this one without a wild card (I’m so good at this!) because there was some really grim injury detail that freaked me out. Very well-made movie but deeply emotional and intense so not one I’d be able to keep watching.

October 7^th:

10.      In A Dark Place (2006, Horror/Thriller)

-          My Mum & I were both up early this morning and she suggested we had time for a horror movie of her own accord! Apparently it was only in solidarity with my challenge but I think I’m winning her over. It wasn’t a great choice unfortunately, started off well but my attention started to drift halfway through and I just don’t understand the ending. I’ve never liked Henry James’ Turning of the Screw which this is based on so maybe that’s why.

11.       Crazy Eights (2006, Horror)

-          This is one of those films that I kept hearing about & never quite got round to but I found it on Amazon Prime and finally went for it. I was not disappointed, it was disturbing and had great character development; I’m working on a full review for this one.

October 8^th:

12.       The Last Days on Mars (2013, Horror/Sci-Fi/Thriller)

-          This one is different to the kind of horrors I would usually choose but I enjoyed it, very clever and brilliant acting.

October 9^th:

13.       The Reaping (2007, Horror/Thriller)

-          I dimly remember watching this when it first came out but I couldn’t remember it so I gave it another go. It’s interesting and I like how it looks but the ending’s a bit too desperate for a sequel and I’m not sure I’d watch it a lot.

14.      We Are Still Here (2015, Horror)

-          This is another one I’ve been meaning to watch for a while and it really freaked me out! Great gore, phenomenal acting and an intriguing plot.

15.       February (2015, Horror/Thriller)

-          This one was weird but not in a good way! It had some really good moments but it was hard to follow and the ending doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

October 10^th:

16.      Final Destination 5 (2011, Horror)

-          Sometimes you need a familiar favourite. I love this franchise and fondly remember how fun this one was in 3D at the cinema with friends.
