Well lovelies, that day has come ... Breaking Dawn Two has been released and I'm off to see it this afternoon! I was planning on seeing it last night ... let me tell you the quick story. I knew that my local cinema was having a Twilight marathon session yesterday and as I wasn't particularly busy and am a bit of a fan, I decided to do it (for a while anyway as I was meeting my lovely friend, Justine, for tea but I thought I'd at least get to see one and a half films). So I got ready, jumped into the car (well, not really a 'jump' ... I was wearing heels and it's hard to jump in a car wearing heels) and headed off. Got to the car park and low and behold, no spaces! Denied! Of course I could have parked somewhere else and walked, God forbid, but I don't really walk anywhere (apart from at the gym on the treadmill) unless I can help it, so drove home - and started watching a fabulous series I haven't seen before, Alcatraz! Anyway, that's another story ...
There was a showing of the new film at 12.05 am this morning and I did comtemplate it on the way home from meeting Justine about 10.00 pm, I thought I'd probably be able to catch Part 1 and then watch Part 2, but when I visualised my lovely comfy bed waiting for me, that put paid to that idea! So today is the day. They have showings literally every half hour, so it shouldn't be too hard to get in. I'll obviously let you know my thoughts when I've seen it. Can't wait! Wooohooooo!
So for today, I've reviewed Paranormal Activity 4 and Silent Hill (I did write one for Sinister then realised that I'd posted one for that a couple of weeks ago ... duh!).
I
was looking forward to all these films.
As you know, I LOVE horror films and each of the trailers for these 3
all looked really good. So let’s start
with Silent Hill: Revelation.
I
was looking forward to this one the most.
The first Silent Hill is one of my absolutely favourite horrors of all
time and I can watch it again and again and again. I think I identify with it because some of
those scenes and creatures are very close to what it’s like living in my head! Lol
This
however, was really disappointing.
Although a lot of the same characters were there and it had the capacity
to be really scary, somehow, it just missed the mark completely. It was really predictable and had none of the
suspense of the first ... actually, now I come to think of it, it was
absolutely the suspense that was missing.
The
story ... the young girl from the first film has found her way back to her
father in ‘the real world’ but they are continually on the run because there
are people who are trying to take her back to Silent Hill. When her father goes missing, she sets out
trying to find him and ends up back ... yep, you guessed it, in Silent
Hill. That’s it really. Not much else to say! Here’s the trailer, but I warn you, the best
bits are in the trailer and if you haven’t seen the first one, I seriously urge
you to ... it’s head and shoulders above this one... which was a Revelation
(see what I did there!?)
Next
Paranormal Activity 4 ... I’m not going to say much about this. If you’ve seen the others, you’ll know what
to expect ie not very much and a few short scares along the way. Very low budget with very few scares. I do think these films are better seen at the
cinema though. I saw the first two at
home and missed the scares because my attention had wandered and you really
need to be watching the screen, without distractions, at all times not to miss
the jumpy bits!
Right
lovelies, that’s me for another day ... a few more reviews tomorrow and we’re
up to date. Until then, be fabulous!
Lots
of love
Jx
