The Ring

Its long since I last wrote anything on this blog or infact anywhere. And here I return with a movie is totally different genre. However despite being in the horror genre it doesnt scare you throughout with scary faces. The visual effects are too appealing. Infact the whole mood of the film is set because of the excellent use of visuals and sounds. Acting too is superb, even from the child actor. Most of you probably have seen it. If you havent see it. I would not very scary but more of a mystery. There are plenty of questions that I couldnt answer, maybe some of you can help.

If you havent seen the movie skip this part now and come back later

1. Why does the body of the girl(Samara) appear under Shelter mountain inn though she was pushed into the well in Moscoe Island?

2. Why does Mr. Morgan kill himself?

3. Why were the images of those who viewing the video twisted?

4. Why was Samara killed at all? And why was she kept in the barn?

5. Why is this continuing? And what does that video mean?

Now fun questions?

What if someone is not near a TV on the 7th day? :P And they say it will never end. Here is method. After the all the known viewers of the video have copied the tape once and their stipulated 7 days is over, they can simply burn allt he existing tapes. Done, End of story. Enjoy

The Exorcist

The tagline for this movie (Somewhere between science and superstition, there is another world. The world of darkness) moved me and drew me to watch this movie. Contrary to what others may say, this movie is not a horror movie. In my opinion the director even didnt want to make a horror movie. There is no sudden brandishing of scary face that is cliche in many other films. Its a terrifying mysterious drama. A grasping one.

The director challenges faith and our blind devotion to science. This is most beautifully brought forth in the character of a psychiatrist boxer turned priest. We see the devil so often yet never see God. Is there a God??

The acting is superb in this movie. Dont watch this movie expecting nerve wrecking horror and you will enjoy it.,

Overall 7/10

Alien

"In space, no one can hear you scream". So true. Its a horror sci-fi that will remain an evergreen good watch. This movie has one of the best anti-climax ever seen on celluloid. There are two very good twists in this movie which I love.

The direction is just perfect as is the editing. Background score, cinematography etc everything is almost perfect in this movie. However there is too much of drama in this movie surrounding a cute cat. The best part is the atmosphere that it creates. You feel you are part of the Nostromo.

Enjoy it
