Monster House – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 30 / Film #3

A foreboding house in the neighbour turns out to be a living and breathing entity. Wonderfully creative design for the ever transforming house. It actually looks terrifying, but not to me. I’m a big boy. While it’s only 9 years old the animation already looks outdated. They look like more detailed characters from The Sims. …

Silent Hill – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 13 / Film #4

This movie is way too long and way too convoluted. I’m sure the game of which it’s based is very expansive so it was hard to condense it fluidly. The art direction is great and it looks gorgeous. And there’s a little bit of blood in it. Of all the crazy imagery and events in …
