Movie Review - Lights Out




Hello guys! 
How are you all doing this week?

 So, I'm a huge fan of cinema and for the past weeks I had time to watch some movies like: Lights Out, The Strangers (for the second or third time), The Shinning (for the second time), Funny Games (the 1997 version), Pokemon: Arceus And The Jewel Of Life, ect etc...
I'm thinking of probably do some movie reviews for my next posts because I really love doing this type of thing.

 So, I hope you like this as much as I do!
Let's get started!

 Quick note:
 I would love to ask my dear friend Alex M. to make a review on a horror movie that she likes! That would be really cool and fun to read.
And please check out her blog as well!

 Some information about the movie:


Plot:

When her little brother, Martin, experiences the same events that once tested her sanity, Rebecca works to unlock the truth behind the terror, which brings her face to face with an entity that has an attachment to their mother, Sophie.

















What to expect:

Ghost movies always have some connections and sometimes it can be hard to think out of the box and be creative.
I think that this movie is quite good. I think it has some Japanese vibe into it and some jump scares are good.

This movie reminds me at some point of The Grudge, tough I think that The Grudge is way stronger and scary. I almost had a heart attack when I saw it for the first time (and that's amazing for a horror movie!).

The thing that I liked the most on Lights Out was that the mother of the main character (Rebecca) knew that the entity was real.
So, that changes a bit the movie, because usually this type of stories at some point there's always someone that doesn't believe that the entity is real.
I think that the characters needed a bit more development. We get to know them, yes, but I guess that (in my opinion), the movie could be filled with more memories of Rebecca's past, or with more things related to her own experience.





















My opinion:

An overall opinion is that I really liked this movie, for real. It has some great jump scares, some great suspense moments and at some point, some of my own fears were being shown in the movie.
I'm afraid of the dark since I was a kid. And I just had to face the fear of it with this movie and I loved it.

Do I recommend this movie?
Yes, I do. 
I think it's not a horrible movie, at all. It could have some things enhanced, but nothing serious. 
So, yes, give it a try and enjoy watching!

Quick fact:

This movie was based on Sandberg's 2013 short film of the same name and features Lotta Losten.

Well guys, I hope you enjoy my review!
I'll see you on my next post!

XO,

Anime Review - Blood C

"I make my own decisions, and see them to the very end. I had to find my resolve, so I could remain true to myself." Hello everyone! Today I bring you another anime that I've seen a few years ago. So, this series has 12 episodes with 23 minutes each and its recommended to mature audience only because it has nudity and violence. So, let's start this! Plot:  Saya is a happy girl during the day that loves to sing and spend some time with her father. She is also a student that has a normal life. During night, she is the rural town protector that owns a holly sword to slay the Ancient Ones that hunt, stalk and try to catch human prays. Artwork : This series has some great detail and the way the characters are represented are also very well made. The death scenes are brutal and very grafic, but in a general way, it is a good graphic anime.  I love the colors, the ambiance and the music involved in it. Music: The O...

Why I've been gone

Image
Hello guys, long time no see! I feel like I've been gone for at least a decade and I apologize. I've been thinking about coming back and do an update of the content and the design of the blog. I don't have much time at the moment due to work and life in general, but I want to do this. I still haven't figured what I want to write about, for the moment. I still love anime and movies, of course, but I don't want to feel trapped in a specific theme. I have evolved as a person and I believe you did too. That's why I feel that I can change a bit my topics and adapt them to my current day-to-day life. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment or send me an email and I'll take them into consideration. I love to talk to you and it really make s me happy every time I receive some feedback from you. You can keep up with me through my social media. All the links are listed at the top of the page! Thank you so much...
