Horror Movies - Review, Compare Best Price & Be Scared


We all love a good horror movie, they frighten us, they unsettle us, they reveal our deepest fears, we often look away at the most goriest of parts, but yet we still sit through it and watch, listening to the sounds, the screams, as the music intensifies as something is about to happen.

There are many different types of horror movies, it is a genre inside a genre, so if you are looking for a fright, you have come to the right place.

Asian Horror

This type of horror is certainly the most psychological and tense, the stories and scenarios created are very intense, and they are quite often beautifully wrote. Horror movies in Asia are a huge thing, mostly focusing on there own folk religion, possession, precognition and shamanism. Great titles include The Ring, Tale of Two Sister and Audition.

Comedy Horror

This type of movie really does give you mixed viewing emotions, in one case you can be laughing, and within a moment later you can be screaming with fear. These movies are probably the most popular available, as they do not really intensify with blood and gore as much as others. A perfect example of Comedy Horror movies are ones such as Shaun of the Dead and The Scary Movie Collection.

Supernatural Horror

These sort of movies are ones in which involve supernatural creatures such as Demons, Zombies, Werewolves and Deformed Humans. These types are the most scariest and often are quite poorly made, however there can be true gems found within, with titles such as Dawn of the Dead, An American Werewolf in London and The Exorcist.

Compare Best Prices & Review

When purchasing a movie online, there are many retailers offering the same product, you are best to compare product prices so you can find the best deal online, the difference in price can often mean you could be buying an extra movie from shopping at one particular retailer. Often the most popular named retailers do not offer the best price.

When you have found a movie that interests you, it is wise to read reviews about it, see what other people thought of the movie, these reviews should not include spoilers to the movie, however they should include a brief description of how it was, and what the reviewer thought about when viewing it.

Horror Movie Review: "The Cave"


Plot: When a group of professional cave explorers go for a deep sea ocean dive to explore a mysterious cave, the cave collapses during the expedition, leaving the team stranded in the underwater cavern, and completely unaware of the bloodthirsty creatures that lurk within it.

Cast:

Cole Hauser

Morris Chestnut

Eddie Cibrian

Daniel Dae Kim

Rick Ravanello

Piper Perabo

Kieran Darcy-Smith

Lena Headey

Marcel Iures

Review:I have to admit going into "The Cave" I didn't expect much. In fact I didn't expect anything to be honest. But I don't know whether it was my low expectations or whatever but I really liked this movie. In "The Cave" a group of men disappear in a Cave system thats collapsed. After the collapse it's suggested that "something" claimed their lives. Fast forward to present day, a group of cavers played by Eddie Cibrian, Morris Chestnut, Cole Hauser, Daniel Day Kim, Piper Perabo, and Rick Ravenello along with two doctors one of which played by the very attractive Lena Headey are sent in to explore this new found cave system. Totally unaware of the something that lies within it. I've heard some people compare "The Cave" to "Pitch Black" which is an extreme put down. "Pitch Black" for the mildly entertaining movie it was was boring as hell compared to "The Cave" which after about 20 minutes or so of the main characters arriving at the cave system and setting up shop, switches gears quickly when one of the group members is attacked in a scene where we get a brief quick glances of one of the cave dwelling monsters. The monsters themselves aren't overddone or shown too much and while some horror fans may hate these *less is more* patterned movies this formula works in "The Cave".

Mainly because these monsters are f*cking scary even when they aren't shown fully because we get glimpses of their long razor like teeth, and the films writers Michael Steinberg and

Tegan West did a fantastic job of picking the right moments when they would show up on screen. The stars of the movie are really the monsters along with Eddie Cibrian, Morris Chestnut, and Cole Hauser and Lena Headey who does her best to steal the show a tad bit with her acting rather than being the comic relief with funny one-liners, which is rare in horror movies nowadays. In fact in this movie there isn't that one comic relief character who says something funny during those suspenseful moments,which more so helped me enjoy this film since it kept with the serious tone of things throughout. After one of their group members is killed and their lead caver played by Cole Hauser is bitten,their course of action now becomes to escape the cave rather than continue the expedition. Problem is Hausers character is infected and slowly changing which creates mistrust amongst his fellow cavers since hes the one who can lead them out. Not to mention the cave monsters which become more and more aggresive in their attacks as the film wears on. The scenes where they attack are very well done and not often predictable which is another thing I liked about the movie.

Piper Perabo and Eddie Cibrians characters are involved in 2 of the most intense of the monster attack scenes and overall two of the most enjoyable parts of the film. So whats the origins of these creatures and what do these creatures look like?One theory is tossed out connecting them to the films tagline "Beneath Hell Lies The Cave" but their real origins are explained early on in the movie after Hausers character is bitten. I won't give away too much about how they look except that they're original enough in design to be separated from your standard horror movie monster. I also liked the fact that we got more and more full looks at them as the movie went on.

In the very early going they're kept hidden in the shadows but are revealed more and more until we finally get to see them fully in the films exciting climax. "The Cave" also keeps you guessing in alot of areas as to who will live and who will die. I guarantee you might be able predict a few of the deaths but not all of them...atleast I couldn't. Theres a few subplots one of which involving Cibrian and Hausers characters which further enhances the overall story and a love story subplot between Cibrian and Lena Headey and Piper Perabo which are all briefly hinted at but never materialize fully for a number of different reasons.

Pros: Nice creature FX,intense and suspenseful scenes galore in this movie,good acting by everyone, and for a movie like this the storyline was pretty meaty.

Cons: Some of the early creature sequences were a bit choppy and during the attacks the scenes cut so fast you can barely see whats happening but being that "The Cave" was rated PG 13, I think some scenes of blood may have been trimmed thus contributing to the moderately choppy looking attack scenes so we'll see when the dvd comes out. The twist ending was a coin flip. I could've done without it but it wasn't that bad... but it wasn't necessarily a great idea either.

Overall: Go check this out, I think you'll be very surprised at how good it is for a PG-13 creature/actioneer.
