Soo, I went to see that new movie "The Crazies" on Friday with a friend. I really wish I went and saw "Shutter Island" instead, I heard it was really good. But anyways, I normally do not go to the movies too often, but when it is a scarey movie that I would like to see, I would definitely rather see it in theathers, for the big screen, and sorround sound effect, it makes it scarier!
I have to say though that yet again I am dissapointed in another not that scarey movie. Ok, so since I was in the theater to see it, it did make me jump, but thats only because it was loud and I felt like I was in the movie with them, but this is not my idea of a scarey movie! I really am just sick of production companies overloading us with all of there trailers for all these scarey movies, making them look so good, and make you think... Oh yea this is finally going to be a good, scarey one this time! And over and over I am just dissapointed.
(If you plan on seeing "The Crazies", I don't want to ruin it for you, so just skip the next two paragraphs and go to bottom). I am just really over going to see a scarey movie, and it basically all has the same damn plot! It's always, some sort of disease or something that breaks out and makes people act all loopy, diseased, or a zombie. This movie was yet again just like the rest of them. People in the town were drinking the water from their main source, and only source of water supply, which was obtained from the town's big river. Aparently some government experiment with crazy or biologically messed up people, crashed into this river, and their DNA or whatever got into the water supply, and then in return made all the people in this town become sick, which also made them crazy killers. Of coarse the Sherrif, main character, and his house with his wife, was at the end of town, so they were never affected by the disease, because he just happened to find out what was going on right in the knick of time! And then one by one the town was infected, and eventually the gov't stepped into quarentine those that were affected, (but really ended up killing everyone in fear that there was a chance they were infected, and blowing up the entire town.) So to make a long story short, they escaped from the quarantine the goverment set out, and tried to flea to the next town, with obviously many difficult obsticles along the way to make it almost impossible for them to get anywhere. In the end of coarse, the movie shows them arriving to the next city, their final destiniation, and then the last 30 secs of the movie there is that UH OH cliffhanger that it ends, and you think that they never made it (in this case, it shows the goverment sattelite trigger in on them, and see they are trying to go to the city, so obviously they killed them before they got there.)
SO what I am saying is, WHYYYYY is every scarey movie lately like this? Lets see, there was Dawn of the Dead movies, Resident Evil, 28 Days Later, I Am Legend was like this also. At least I Am Legend had a similar plot like the rest of these, but chose not to try and make it a scarey movie and more of an action movie, which in the end benefitted them becuase it was in my opinion, the best plot compared to the rest of these movies. That brings me to add, so many of these scarey movies dont even seem believeable. Like when they escape out of these situations, youre kind of thinking, "really?" becuase you know if they are taking this disease approach, then they want you to be under the impression that Oh My God, what if this happens in real life? But the plots are always so bad, and they get out of situations that just seem so fake, that from now on I cant take any of these movies seriously anymore.
I want to see a really scarey movie, like something that is going to make me afraid to go outside by myself. I want to get scared the same way I did when I saw "The Ring" or "The Shining" when I was a little kid. Whatever happened to those movies? With all these crazy people working in Hollwood, you would think someone would be creative enough to make a movie thats actually scarey, and not gross. I think that the "Saw" movies are all good, but those are a different genre of horror to me. Those are the suspense, but goary movies. I am not going to go home and have a nightmare of the saw guy comming to attack me. Two other movies that I have seen that have probably been the best scarey ones I have seen in a while would probably have to be "The Orphan", or "Paranormal Activity". These two movies are good in case no one has seen them, but I am still not too amazed, I am waiting for that really scarey one to come out. If anyone has any suggestions for me then let me know!
