Movie Review: Sugar Hill

Okay, well when I first heard about this movie, I got an idea into my head that it would be sort of like Silent Hill. Not because it was based off of a kick ass video game or because it looked good, but because I thought that a town called Sugar Hill was more likely than a person called Sugar Hill. Unfortunately I was wrong about that. As a matter of fact, there was very little I was right about when it comes to this movie, and it was nothing like Silent Hill.






Although they both have characters with terrifying hair.











But now as to what I thought of the movie....
It actually wasn't so bad. I mean, the beginning was terrible but, other than that. It wasn't even sort of what I was expecting and parts of it (like the special effects.......) were terrible. But it was different. I mean, there was a little bit of character development, not as much as one would hope for but a lot more than one usually expects. Now, I am a firm believer that if (when) the zombie apocalypse occurs it will be the Max A. Brooks Solanum virus theory, that's actually extremely believable. However, I watch approximately 30 zombie movies a month about viruses, outbreaks, diseases, plagues...... this was a nice, lesser respected voodoo zombie movie. Sort of refreshing once you got past the terrible dialogue from the beginning.
So the plot, girl's fiancee dies, she uses her family's voodoo traditions to exact revenge on his murderers. Pretty cool. I would eve recommend this one........ maybe.

Sugar Hill, no, still not the review yet.

OKAY, maybe I'm just like, hyper or something because thinking about it, it's really not as bad as most of the movies I sit through without making comments, but I found the name of the movie. The ladies last name is Hill, her dead boyfriend allegedly walked up to her the day they met and said "What's your name?" and she said "Diana Hill" and he said, "Well from now on, I'm gonna call you Sugar, miss Sugar Hill." No, no I'm not kidding. I can't believe I have to watch the rest of this, I'm only like 10 minutes in and it's already terrible.
OMG



So, I know I'm supposed to get like a t-shirt and a trophy, but the real question is, will my wonderful sponsors also pay for the therapy I will need by the end of this year? Seriously, it's becoming a concern

Sneak Peek: Sugar Hill

Wow, so I am just finding time to watch it, I'll be back with a full review soon but let me tell you what I've seen so far..... There was an African tribal dance that I think they stole right out of Gory Gory Hallelujah and then it ended and it was like, some sort of show for a bar or a night club or who even knows what the hell it is. And I hope the movie explains it's name, (still has time) because so far the only "sugar" that's been mentioned is the main character's girlfriend. Yeah, that's like his pet name for her, "It's gonna be all right sugar" Seriously? Okay, I just thought I would give you a quick update on that and tell you I'll be back in an hour and a half ( promising movie length, don't you think?) I'll be back......Sugar.

Movie Review: C.H.U.D

I believe that stands for cannibalistic human underground dwellers, but I could be wrong about it. This one was..... well it was terrible, but unlike some of them (meaning unlike Poultrygeist or skeleton key 2) it was an enjoyable kind of bad, sort of like Evil Dead 2.

The beginning, well it was like the epitome of bad movie intros, and it you don't believe me..... please click here. Seriously.

That's all I have for right now, when I get the chance I will be back to you with my Sugar Hill review, I have a bit of other stuff to do first but I'll come back, sign on netflix, watch it, and you will be the first to know how terrible it is.

Review: The Reanimator

Okay, this one was actually pretty amusing. I mean, it was bad, yeah but still, I mean it told a story. Medical research gone too far, I liked it. Was it good, no? Would I recommend it? No. Is it better than Zombies Gone Wild? Yeah, it is. You also have to give it credit for even being made by the same guy who invented Cthulhu. *crickets* What, I can be into other creature features, they don't all have to be zombies. Seriously though, H.P. Lovecraft was a genius..... this was not however his best work.

That's it for the day, check back tomorrow. What I'm going to try and do until I'm caught up is match up, every review of a movie I'm watching with a make up review I wrote down when I didn't have internet. Sound good? Well that's too bad it's how I'm doing it anyway.

Review: Beneath Still Waters

To tell you the truth, I don't even know what to tell you about this one. Is it because I didn't watch it? No, it's because I watched it and failed to see any kind of a story in it. All of the usual things I say about these movies, I tell you a little bit about the plot, the characters, any really funny moments and there was nothing. I was taking note on this movie so I would have something to tell you about it in the review and still I don't know a single persons name. It was really that bad. Please, please don't ever watch this movie. Was it even a zombie movie? No. I think it was some sort of weird cult thing, dark magic maybe but a zombie thing, no. Terrible, absolutely terrible.

Internet

Wow, I haven't been on in forever, I've been so, so busy. My zombies though are far from forgotten. Still I'm only getting them as fast as what they can come in the mail but, I have also been watching as many full length ones as I can get from Youtube AND guess what? Netflix just recently switched around movies that they have for free so my progress is actually about to speed up. My internet is fixed so you can be expecting posts regularly. I also have two reviews for you to day, I have been writing them even though I haven't been posting them, so we, dear readers, have a lot of work to do, a lot of movies to catch up on. So, be sure to read the next blog. (enclosed is a list of new movies I don't have to wait for)
