The Second Five Of Ten Horror Movies To Enjoy This Halloween

An awesome holiday! One worth spending doing a movie marathon!

So we did the first five movies over at AwesomeBMovies.com, I hope that you will find something from that era that will work for you this Halloween... I mean there are a lot of great horror movies to have come out between the 1920s - 1960s!

Well now that we have done that run, it is time to show you some great horror films from the 1970s on up that could be great choices for this Halloween as well!

At number 1: Halloween (1978).  

Now this one is a little obvious, but the truth is, is John Carpenter's, 'Halloween' has in a lot of respects been one of the defining movies when it comes to horror movies to enjoy during Halloween, and is one that if you are looking for something to scare the hell out of you this Halloween, will do a great job!  

Number 2: Cannibal Holocaust (1980).

Cannibal Holocaust... This horror film from the 1980s is truly gruesomely fun, and could be said to be one of the more famous Cannibal movies of all time... If you do decide on this one though... Watch it with some one there... You won't regret it! 

Next up at number 3: Tales From The Crypt Presents: Demon Knight (1995).

Now this movie, (which was based on the classic horror anthology TV series/Comics, 'Tales From The Crypt Presents',) does have some fun thrills and chills, but what it looses in over the top chills, they make up in just having an absolutely bad-ass movie! 

And at number 4: 28 Days Later (2002).

This one is an awesome British Zombie movie, that is as much fun now as it was then... And I will say this, I suspect that the way this movie was filmed had some influence on at least how some of the earlier seasons of, 'The Walking Dead were filmed!' 

And finally at number 5 we have: Scream 4 (2011).

With this one, you might be asking yourself why I am doing a sequel movie instead of an original movie... Well the truth is, is the original for this movie would make for a great addition to this list, but I thought that I would mention, 'Scream 4', because let's be honest, this movie series was fantastic, and as long as the studio is smart and lets the movie series die, then it will have gone out with a bang! 

Please note that this list is not from best to worst, these are just some great horror films from the 1970s on up to the 2010s that we thought that you would enjoy! For the first five, check out the list I did over at AwesomeBMovies.com!

The Colony (2013) - Movie Review

Official Score = 1 1/2 Devils

When it comes to movies with a big budget, some powerful talent, some great special effects, and a great premise, you would expect the movie to be great right? Or at least good?

I have to admit that I have not seen to much of this over the last 5 or 6 years, but back in the early part of the new millennium... And I will be honest and say that the fact that Hollywood wants to remake every horror movie ever made has not really helped any...

The reason I mention this is because I was recently disappointed with the movie, The Colony (2013)...

The Colony... A movie that had a lot of promise, but in the end just really didn't make it!

Written by: Jeff Renfroe (Civic Duty), Svet Rouskov (Silent Cargo), Patrick Tarr (American Psycho), Patrick Trottier (Hellions) & Directed by: Jeff Renfroe. Starring: Kevin Zegers (Dawn Of The Dead), Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix), Bill Paxton (Aliens), Charlotte Sullivan (Defendor) & Dru Viergever (Survival Of The Dead).

The world froze over a long time ago. So long ago that I can't remember the warmth of the sun. I heard stories growing up... How the planet grew hotter as our fuel was burned. How we made towers to work the weather. But the truth is... one day... it started to snow. And it never stopped.

- Sam (Kevin Zegers), a quote from: The Colony (2013).

This movie tells the story of how in the modern times, the way the world's governments decide to handle the problems of Global Warming is to create a machine that would control the weather... The problem is, is that the machines have malfunctioned and have made it so that the Earth has started to permanently snow...

About 40 years later, mankind has gone underground in to shelters (called Colonies,) to survive the extreme cold. During this time, one of the Colonies goes silent, and Briggs (Laurence Fishburne) decides to take a team over to investigate why they went dark,

Briggs (Laurence Fishburne), as he is leading a party to check out what happened to the colony that went dark.

What they will find there will shock them down to there very core... But as they are trying to escape the massacre created at the dead colony by a group of ravenous cannibals... They will have to contend with the potential that they might lead these cannibals back to their, 'Colony'!

Listen I will be honest and say that this movie was pretty much an overpriced bad knock off of, 30 Days Of Night (2007), I mean at least in that movie they were, 'Vampires' that went after a group in a small town in Alaska during it's darkest period... The bad guys in this, barely acted like comprehensible Zombies... And they never explained why these Cannibals were jumping from colony to colony and killing everyone...

Ultimately, I just didn't see why this ended up happening... And it was not explained at all... All in all, It just seemed to happen... And frankly it just seemed like senseless violence jumping from one colony to the next (And trust me when I say that I do like violence in horror/sci-fi movies,) ... but since there was not enough character development with the cast in the colony, I kind of really did not care all that much rather the colony lived or died, which made this more of a pointless gorefest...
