Two American tourists are attack by a supposedly crazy man. But when one wakes up in the hospital and finds out the other one is dead he has a different story. He says something like a large wolf killed them even though no one believes him. So afterwards he goes and stays at a nurses home after he recovers meanwhile a doctor from the hospital somewhat believes what he said goes to the place they were attack and tries to get information out of the villagers that saved them. But the man begins to have strange dreams and soon realizes he is changing... into a werewolf.
this movie is another one of my personal favorites and a instant classic. The acting in this was pretty good but what really made me love it was when he first turned into the werewolf how the special effects looked so good. They seemed way ahead of their time. They made it look so real you can almost feel the pain he is going through. so I give this movie 5 out of 5 blood stains.

What none of them realize is when Carrie gets angry her powers come out.
I liked this movie and at the end lots of it made me laugh especially when one person gets killed by being sprayed with a fire hose. The acting in this was a little worse then alright but that just added to the humour and overall awesomeness of the movie. What really made me laugh was John Travolta was playing the bad ass and i find he only feels like the bad ass in some movies like pulp fiction which i by the way love and will one day do a review on that and some of my other favorite movies like it. So i give this movie 4.5 out of 5 blood stains.

Re-Animator-Herbert West Has A Very Good Head On His Shoulders... And Another One In A Dish On His Desk
Herbert West comes from Austria after studying with a well known scientist who has just died. He begins conducting weird experiments in the basement of his roommates place. Eventually he brings his roommate and his roommates girlfriend into his experiments and reveals to them that he is working on bringing back the dead and he is most of the way there but he must start testing on human subjects or else he is stuck at a dead end. Soon Herbert is kick out of the school and his roommate must sneak him into the school to continue their experiments. But that's when things begin to go wrong.
I am disappointed in myself for not doing this movie sooner since it is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time and i personally like H.P Lovecraft's stories. I even have a book of his short stories and the way he writes isn't like most authors. It's more dark and eerier but you get the picture in your mind of what he is trying to describe pretty easily and i feel that his writing talents was transferred into the movie. The start of the movie is more humerus but when they begin re-animating the dead that's when the gore begins to start and the movie double sin its enjoyability. The acting in this was average but they made it like that for some laughs and the special effects were again some of my favorite. So i give this horror genre treasure 5 out of 5 severed heads.

2012-First, the Mayan calendar predicted it...Now, science has confirmed it...but we never imagined it could really happen.
A author stumbles into a secrete government project when he is camping with his kids which makes him worry about what is going on. He starts to understand what is going from a supposedly crazy man in the area about the governments "ships" and 2012. So he goes to get his family and starts a race for survival. But it's not only his survival he must fight for in the end its the survival of the human race.
I found this movie kind of boring. It takes a while to get into the action. The plot was alright but like everyone says about this movie they tried to make up for it with lots of special effects. The acting at times was pretty good but most of the time it was alright. So i give this movie a 3 out of 5 blood stains.

Leviathan-It will leave you gasping for air
Several deep-sea miners find a sunken soviet ship which was supposedly sunk in another ocean. so they send men aboard to find out more information. Two of them come back with a safe containing old liquor a captains log on video several death certificates and a flask. But soon some of them begin to get sick and die. But they don't stay dead. Now the crew begins to change on a genetic level into creatures that hunt down the rest of the crew. Now they must fight for survival while trying to figure out what caused this and why their company lied to them about evacuation.
This movie in my opinion was alright. The acting was average and the special effects weren't anything special. But what really grinded my gears was that the plot was almost a rip of off the thing. Their bodies begin changing into weird creatures with mouths and other weird things sprouting up in different places on their bodies and them not knowing at times who is infected. So i give this rip off 2 out of 5 blood stains.

Diary of the Dead-Where will you be when the end begins?
A group of film students are filming a horror movie in the woods when they hear on the radio and news that the dead are coming back to life. Some don't believe this at first but they are all a little scared so they decide to go home to their families. But on the way the discover that everything they heard is true. Although they are all scared and worried about their families they decide to make a documentary about whats happening so that some people can use it to survive and so others will know what happened. But they must survive if they want their work to have meaning. But the question is can they hold together to survive or will the stress cause them to come to their end?
I found this movie alright. The special effects were alright. But to be honest i expect a lot more from one of the greatest directors of all time. But i found that what really brought this movie down was the quality of the acting. Half the time it was hard to believe they really felt fear. Also the storyline is pretty cheesy. Instead of trying to survive all this 20 year old guy wants to do is make a documentary. So i give this movie 4 out of 5 bloodstains (only because there is a real bad ass Amish farmer in it for a bit).
The Crazies(2010)- Fear Thy Neighbor
When a large military plane carry a deadly bio weapon crashes into a small farming towns drinking supply it begins to turn all the residents into insane murders. but luckily the army comes in time to stop it and save people. Or are they their just to get ride of all evidence and witnesses. Now its up to the sheriff his pregnant wife and two other townsfolk to survive and get to the next town. If they aren't infected themselves.
Sadly i have not seen the original so i can't compare how good this is to that but i will talk about what i liked disliked about this one. I found that some of the ways that the people were killing/getting killed by were to elaborate. In real life people would just go with guns or knives. Also the way that they kill some of the people with doesn't seem like it would be possible for people who are supposedly turned insane. But i did like the storyline it seems realistic. I also enjoyed the acting very much. They are very believable and for once they don't have the ordinary person who when the situation turns desperate becomes the basically greatest fighter ever. That role is for the sheriff who has always been like that since he has experience with upholding the law. so i give this movie 3.5 out of 5 blood stains.
