The Cabin In The Woods (2012) Review

Starring: Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, & Anna Hutchinson

"Five friends go for a break at a remote cabin in the woods, they get more then they bargained for. Together, they must discover the truth behind the cabin in the woods." IMDB.com
This was another one of Sean's picks, it was interesting, but I wouldn't call it a horror film, thriller yes, but not horror. The story was unique and very interesting. Every time the film started to build to suspense up  a comedic part will pop in there and ruin everything. When I see a film that is advertise as horror I'm expecting to go home and be terrified to turn off the lights or be alone, but instead I ended up laughing instead of screaming. The film was great with building suspense but horrible at delivering the final scream. So if your going to see this film and expecting to be scared like any true horror film, don't bother, instead go watch it because it had a interesting and unique story line. 

Silent House (2011) Review

Starring: Elizabeth Olsen, Adam Trese & Eric Sheffer Stevens

"Trapped inside her family's lakeside retreat, a young woman finds she is unable to contact the outside world as events become increasingly ominous in and around the house."

www.imdb.com

Silent House was meant to be a horror film shot in real time. The story line was flawed in some places and the parts that were meant to scare the audience didn't deliver. But the worst part about this film was the constant shaking of the camera and the blurriness every time she moved away from the camera. At first the story line has you believing that there are intruders in the house, and then have you believing it might be paranormal in some way. It leaves you guessing up until the last 10-15 minutes of the film just to find out the girl herself is crazy and is doing everything herself, which ruins the whole shot in real time idea.
