All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

13 Chimes (2002)

AKA: 13 Curses or Trece Campanadas

Starring: Juan Diego Botto, Luis Tosar, Marta Etura, Elvira Minguez, Jose Luis Ferrer
Director: Xavier Villaverde

Premise:
A young man returns to home town to see his mother who was believed to have died years ago. He starts getting visions of his dead father who convinces him to finish the work he started.

My Take:
The movie does a blurring the line between reality or fiction. Is the ghost of the young man's father in his head or real? It all leads to a believable and satisfying outcome.

Rating: In the middle

Watched: Netflix DVD
