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.

Supernatural: The Animation Series (2011)

Starring: Jared Padalecki, Annakin Slayd

Premise:
Sam and Dean Winchester hunt monsters and demons while searching for their father.

My Take:
The animation series follows along with the season one of the series. It was nice to go back to that place as Sam and Dean are reforming their relationship and the beginning of a great mystery unfolds. It adds a little bit the overall mythos of the series and fans will probably find it very appealing.

Rating: In the middle

Perfect Blue (1997)

Director: Satoshi Kon

Premise:
A popular singer retires from music and goes into acting. She has to do things which jeapordizes her morals in order to make it to the top and is stalked by a man who doesn't like her decisions. Soon she starts to loose a grip on what is real and what is not.

My Take:
I'm usually not a big fan of anime but this one is really knocks it out of the park. It combines a lot of neat elements and multiple stories into the big mystery. A visually stunning piece of work.

Rating: So Good
