Horror Fridays: Cargo (2018)

Dear Visitors, Can we just give all the awards to Martin Freeman? Please? Pretty Please? Also please be advised of SPOILERS. I'll try to keep it at a minimum but here's your SPOILER WARNING! CARGO centers around Andy and his desperate journey to find a safe haven for his daughter, Rosie, in an Australian wilderness that is filled with zombie-like infected people and survivors who distrust EVERYONE. The worst part is that Andy only has 48 hours to find a home for Rosie. That's how long an infected person has before they turn into zombies! The only thing that made this movie bearable was Martin Freeman's performance. I always thought that he was a brilliant actor. He was believable as a father in a crazy circumstance and it was refreshing to see this father figure act like a protector and provider. There is a scene where Andy (Martin Freeman) and his wife Kay (Susan Porter) have an argument about what to do. They're currently living on a houseboat that ...

CONTRACTED Made Me Want to Barf

Written/Directed: Eric England Starring: Najarra Townsend, Caroline Williams, Alice Macdonald Synopsis: After Samantha is raped at a party and wakes up with a hang over, she notices that something is completely off with her body. She's sensitive to sound, she gets sick, and despite her worries, the doctor she sees has no idea what's wrong with her. As time goes on, Samantha slowly decays from the inside out and loses her grasp of her sanity. One thing that I HATED about this movie was that the synopsis that generally describes this movie, starts with "after a one night stand". *Grabs feminist soap box* That is NOT what happened! She was raped! How do I know that? She told the guy she wasn't interested and that she was a lesbian. Then after she is incapacitated, he takes her to his car and rapes her. You can hear her say "NO" throughout the crime. Also what doctor just uses a stethoscope and knows what you have? What about a blood test? When s...

The Pain "Train To Busan"

Dear Visitor, I know that this movie has been out for a while but I really want to talk about this gem. First of all, I want to talk about how much I love Korean cinema. My family and I absolutely love the shows and films that come out of Korea. They have great stories, everything is well written, and the acting is on point! Sometimes I wish that American television had this much drive. So let's move on. A zombie virus infects South Korea leaving a group of survivors on a train to fight off the undead, and their own paranoia, on their train and left to wonder, if there is anywhere safe to go. Their only hope is to make it to Busan. The thing I love most about this movie was were the characters. It was less about the zombies and more about the survivors. You had the father and daughter whose relationship is already struggling. While this father is trying to keep his daughter safe from the monsters and potential threats from the other survivors, she doesn'...
