The Rating System

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.

Hidden (2015)

Starring: Alexander Skarsgard, Andrea Risenborough
Director: Matt Duffer, Ross Duffer

Premise:
A town is announced to have a deadly outbreak. The government tries to contain it by burning the city to the ground. A family finds a fallout shelter just before the bombs hit. They spend their days trying to survive and staying hidden from "breathers" on the surface.

My Take:
A slick movie that keeps the viewer engaged with great acting and a story that is not a typical survival motif.

Rating: So Good

Watched: Netflix DVD

Helix, Season 1 (2014)

Starring: Billy Campbell, Hiroyuki Sanada, Jordan Hayes, Kyra Zagorsky, Neil Napier, Mark Ghanime, Meegun Fairbrother, Luciana Carro

Premise:
A group of CDC scientist are flown into a base located in the Artic to find a cure for a virus outbreak that is mutating it's carriers. Soon the teams finds out there is much more going on at the facility.

My Take:
I thought the series started out strong but got a bit too convoluted and wacky as it went along. There were some answers needed instead of layers on layers of questions. It made for a lot of what the heck is happening here. So far, it's held my interest enough to keep watching season two next year.

Rating: In the middle

Germ Z (2013)

Starring: Marguerite Sundberg, Michael Flores
Director: J.T. Boone

Premise:
An alien germ comes to Earth and cause people to turn into zombies.

My Take:
Boring. And in the end not very original, except the concept of how the infected happen. There's a lot of talk in the first part and the second part is a lot of running from zombies. I've seen it before and done lots better than this.
