#12 : The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003):
 
I know there are about 5 movies of these, but I will strictly do the 2003 version. Why? Because its the only one I like out of the other ones they have made. Well, the original was also good, but not as good as this remake. 

A group of young adults are on their way to a concert in Dallas. They cross through a small, ghost town named Travis County. As they are driving, they see a troubled woman on the road and decide to pick her up. Once in the van, the woman shoots herself with a gun.

 Looking for the local authorities, the group travels through the town, meeting the locals. One by one, they are picked off by a strange man with a demented face.

Realizing that they are in mortal danger, they must escape from the town from a family of cannibals and a chainsaw-wielding madman known as LEATHER FACE!!!
 
OK, I really did not want to see this movie when it first came out because I had heard it was based on a true story. I had done some research on it and discovered it was all a hoax, but it was based on Ed Gein (A famous American killer and body snatcher). Anyways, I thought this remake was done very well, it was very scary and the killings were very brutal ( Not a fan of the killings). 
 
I loved how Leather face's family was all in on his atrocious killings and how they help him capture their victim. To sum it up, I enjoyed this movie and I dare to say, its better than the original!!!

#13 : The Conjuring:

#13 : The Conjuring:
I was supposed to do this movie in slots 3 or 4, but I saw it yesterday, so I decided today...
 

BASED ON A TRUE STORY (SUPPOSELY)

Ok so the movie is set In 1971. A man named Roger Perron and his wife Carolyn move to an old farmhouse in Rhode Island with their daughters Andrea, Nancy, Christine, Cindy and April ( back then, families were huge). The family finds a hidden basement which the entrance is locked with planks. Soon they are haunted by noises and ghosts; your classical ghost movie. In desperate cries to help save her and her family, Carolyn meets the famous paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren.


 They visit the house and Lorraine and Ed feel that the house is possessed by evil entities. Their further investigation shows that a witch had sacrificed her baby to the devil and has possessed other mothers that lived in the real estate to kill their children. Lorraine and Ed bring his friends Drew and Brad to help them to collect evidences to convince the Church that it is necessary an exorcism to save The Perron family from these evil entities!!! 


So, what do I think of this movie???
Well,  I remember seeing this movie when it first came out in theatres and I screamed like a girl the whole time lol. It takes alot to scare me, but this movie, along with the excorcistOntop of that, the acting was outstanding from the Perron family to the Warrens. The only thing that kind of bothers me is the fact that it resembles many aspects of The Amityville horror, which in real life, The Warrens also took that case. If you are a horror fan and you havent seen this movie, what are you waiting for??? Its a MUST!!!

#14 : House Of Wax

#14 : HOUSE OF WAX:
 
 
Ok, so movie number 14 is House of Wax. Basically, A group of friends (Carly Jones, Nick Jones, Paige Edwards, Wade, Dalton Chapman, and Blake) are on their way to an important football game, while along the way, they decide to camp in some woods ( I know, not the best idea lol). The next day Wade's car experiences car troubles with a broken fan belt. Carly and Wade (who are brother and sister) decide to go to the nearest town to get a new fan belt while the rest of the group attempts to go to the game.
 
When an unbelievably slow traffic jam stops Paige, Dalton, Blake, and Nick, they decide to go back to get Wade and Carly. One by one, the entire group is being killed by two deadly and horrible looking brothers, who are the creators of the town's local, “House of Wax”. Now, Carly and Wade must risk their own lives to escape this town full of Wax.



 
 
*Warning, my review contains spoilers*
Ok, I must say that I adore this movie to the max. It has an awesome cast, with the exception of Paris Hilton. The ending is kind of twisted because it is discovered that there are 3 brothers instead of 2 and towards the end, they show the third brother. The movie is gross, because there are is a lot of blood and many gruesome killings, but hey, it is a horror movie. The acting for me was terrific, realistic, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The only downfall of this movie is Paris Hilton, who I dislike, but the good part is that her character is killed =). I score this movie a 9 out of 10 because it is quite an original movie and it is definitely a must watch.

Now, ENJOY THE TRAILER!!!!

#15 : CARRIE:


Carrie White is a  smart, religious girl who is raised by her psychotically religious mother (sorry, but I couldn't word it any better). She attends a local high school and for some reason, many students don't like her. One day, after P.E. she is showering and she unexpectedly has that "thing" that girls have every month. Carrie freaks out because her mother had never spoken to her about this. She is teased and humiliated by the girls and they even shoot video of her.


 

The gym teacher punishes the girls that were involved and one of them, Sue Snell, feels sorry for what she did and asks her boyfriend to take Carrie to the prom instead of her. But another girl that has been banned from the prom, isn't so forgiving and constructs an evil plan with her boyfriend that involves Carrie and a bucket full of pig's blood.
 None of the bullies realize that Carrie has the power of telekinesis, the power to move things with your mind. During the prom as she is named queen, the girl who was banned from the prom, along with her accomplices, drops pigs blood on Carrie. It doesn't take long for Carrie to turn from that sweet, innocent little girl to that rage-filled monster ! 
 
So whats my intake?
I absolutley LOVE LOVE this movie. I can identify sooo much with Carrie because I was also bullied in middle school and high school so I understood her pain. Another thing we have in common Carrie and I, is that apart from being shy, my mother was also a control freak with me while I was growing up. I love movies where I can identify myself with the character, because I know what it feels like to be in their shoes.
    

One thing that I do not like about this movie is the ending! (Spoiler Alert lol) Carrie should not have died. She should have gone with Sue and the movie should have ended there. so with this said, I give this movie two big thumbs UP!  =)
Enjoy the movie preview!
