The House By The Cemetary-1985

“A calm beautiful house by the cemetery is rented by a young happy family. There all the good ends. One by one who is in the house disappear without any sign. The family hears noise from the basement, find nothing, but something terrible is there.

The son become a witness of a cruel death and is shocked, but the mom doesn’t believe him. He gets trapped in the basement and then the real terror begins. In the basements darkest places they will find something no one ever thought existed.”

Lucio Fulci really does his title as the master of horror to his own; this is a movie that gives me shiver down my back in spite of the classical 90th century technology. The special effects are the best I’ve seen from this time.  I recommend this movie for its charm and its similarity to H.P. Lovecraft’s novels.

Swarmed- 2005

”In the little town Dundas, Indiana, Ken Horvath (Michael Shanks) work as a professor in genetics. Right now he is working with a new pesticide against wasps. After an incident two mutated and extremely aggressive and poisoned wasps let out from their container and out to town- and that’s just enough for a new and deadly spices of wasps to establish.

Ken and the zoologist Christina (Carol Alt) is forced to take the fight against the wasps as the towns future depends on them. “

This movie has a concept that would have worked if it had been done in a complete different way. But now it only scares the most phobic person. The wasp sounds like the dinosaurs in Jurassic park and there’s a woman trying to shot a wasp with a shotgun… It’s too much and the movie is a comedy right through. The acting is awful; terrible…I don’t have words for it.

The only good thing about this movie is the old fashion horror movie style that it gets. As if it was recorded in the early 20th. If you have time to kill, need some laugh then go for it, but don’t expect to be scared.
