SYNOPSIS: 

Always Watching: A Marble Hornets Story is a remain solitary film with no genuine binds to the web arrangement beside the main say and the enemy. A news team sets out on an excursion to deserted or repossessed lodging for a delicious story, and find a case of tapes in an especially unusual house. Subsequent to watching the tapes, Milo (Chris Marquette), Sara (Alexandra Breckenridge), and Charlie (Jake McDorman) understand that this specific house was relinquished by their proprietors in dread in the wake of being "set apart" with a surrounded X and stalked by a tall man in a suit with no face. Before long, Milo gets himself stamped, and the three go on a run themselves to endeavor and escape The Operator (Doug Jones).

REVIEW: 

Chief James Moran makes his component make a big appearance here in the wake of filling in as an AD on various outstanding blood and gore movies (counting the initial three Paranormal Activity continuations), and the primary oversight made was relinquishing everything that made the arrangement awesome. There gives off an impression of being no information or innovative control given to DeLage and Magner, which was a noteworthy oversight. The subtlety and moderate form is consequently gone on the grounds that the wordy arrangement is out. The lo-fi look and feel is supplanted with a HD gleam that feels invented, and the way that I perceive each of the three lead performing artists effortlessly hauled me out. The most exceedingly bad part is that there's just a little measure of genuine strain and dread included; Moran and group don't know how to appropriately execute a hop unnerve as there were none powerful on me (and I'm nervous). What we're left with is an affection triangle between three not too bad performers, and a less than impressive "discovered film" form of The Ring. Is this what you're searching for? Kid, is it the motion picture for you! 

The consideration of Doug Jones as The Operator puzzled me, as essentially anybody tall and thin could put on a substance veil and a suit and tie and turn into the Slender Man. Jones is a brilliant character/animal performing artist, and he occupies and creates his parts delightfully, yet all that is included in Slender Man is to remain there and be forcing basically by being there. Most exceedingly bad is that The Operator in the film doesn't carry on or show up in a similar manner, and his "thought processes i"n the arrangement just seem, by all accounts, to be ingraining franticness and fear… while the film is a significant distinctive matter. Be that as it may, at that point it clicked for me! There gave off an impression of being no expectation here of being a credible, dreadful film in view of Marble Hornets — it was simply to make a Slender Man flick. Marble Hornets was an unfortunate chore of making some name acknowledgment and getting the clout to contract genuine on-screen characters and get together a bigger spending plan. The closure in outlandish and eye rolling. Not worth another idea. Credit this to a missed open door and proceed onward.

2001

It’s safe to say that we’ve created our share of iconic horror characters here in America. Horror icons like Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Michael Myers (Halloween), or Jason Vorhees (Friday the 13th) are so highly recognizable, that they’re pretty much synonymous with the mere concept of a horror movie. Even so, no country handles horror quite like Japan does. Japanese horror films have a much-deserved reputation for being exceptionally horrifying and thought-provoking at the same time. You won’t find as many homicidal maniacs gracing genre screens in... Read More

The Black Room

2016

When it comes to classic horror tropes – like haunted houses and the dark secrets they hide – there’s definitely more than one way to approach material that is very familiar to the average genre fan by now. More and more modern filmmakers are adopting a cerebral approach and turning their haunted house movies into social commentaries with something larger to say. Others are focused on simply telling a good scary story with plenty of jump scares and special effects. Still more go for an exploitive approach that is almost intentionally trashy. The Black Room could probably... Read More

If you’re a fan of the ever-expanding universe of The Conjuring, then it makes sense that The Curse of La Llorona would definitely be on your radar. It is the sixth addition to the franchise, joining other recent hits like The Nun and Annabelle in fleshing out the world first introduced by the original Conjuring back in 2013.
