Hatchet
Hatchet is a horror film that is quite similar to Friday the 13th. The killer in this movie, much like Jason Voorhees, is disfigured, dies due to teenagers and kills in a variety of gruesome ways. Other comparisons that can be made to Friday the 13th are the nudity (there are breast shots abound in the start seeing as how it's base in New Orleans during Mardi Gras) and the mainly young cast. The movie stars Joel Moore (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Grandma's Boy) and also features appearances by the great Tony Todd (known mainly for his role as Clive Barker's Candyman, but also a great stage actor) and Richard Riehle (Office Space, Grounded for Life). Overall it's a decent film, worth a rental perhaps. I give it a 6/10.

Zombieland
Zombieland is a story about a nerdy loser of a teen with a list of rules on how to survive in Zombieland. This movie stars Woody Harrelson and Emma Stone, along with some newcomers. If you love zombie deaths and hilarious characters, this movie is definitely for you. The comedy was amazingly well scripted and I loved every minute of it. Before I end up spoiling the movie I'll stop here and rate it 10/10.

Braindead
This is the 3rd movie directed by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame. It uses classic gross-out techniques to horrify and disgust the viewer. though the techniques are outdated enough to no longer frighten, they do gross-out with gusto. It reminds me of the early Return of the Living Dead movies mixed with Gremlins, not really meant to be scary but meant to be gross and funny. Somehow I found it very entertaining and gave it a 7/10.

Amusement
The first movie of the month is called Amusement. You should absolutely not watch the second segment if you hate/fear clowns. There is one part where "The Laugh" is dressed as a clown and would give Pennywise a run for his money. The series of short stories is strung together by the psychotic killer known as "The Laugh". He stalks three women who he met when he was a boy. A psychotic as a child, The Laugh first encountered the three as a boy. honestly this is quite a creepy movie, and I loved every minute of it. An extremely well-made movie that actually didn't make a lot of money at the box office. Despite being a bit cliche for horror films I still thought the insane disposition of The Laugh was very entertaining. 8/10

October Fright Fest
It is once again October which means I will continue my tradition of watching as many horror movies as possible throughout the month. This will also help my motivation to post more because I will give movie ratings at the end of the day. That also means plenty of reading for my loyal followers (as few as there might be). So stay tuned because my first block of reviews will be coming within the next 24 hours
