Movie Review: Scre4m

Ah, the Scream franchise continues, a true classic in the horror genre made even better by the fact that in each flick characters point out horror conventions. Sometimes its hard to tell whether the audience is laughing at or with the Screams but this newest installment brings back everything audiences love about Wes Craven's masterpiece series. When it comes to horror, we don't like to give too much away but we will say that Scre4m brings a hot young cast, classic franchise characters, big twists and turns, and plenty of gore. So ... what's your favorite scary movie?
Best on-screen moment: Gale (Courteney Cox) goes back inside a party to check on her camera and Dewey (David Arquette) is able to watch her attack as it happens.

Movie Review: Paranormal Activity 2

Obviously, this is a sequel. After all, what would a true horror film be without at least one sequel? Part of what is quite terrifying about Paranormal Activity 2 is that it brings its frights gradually. It felt as though for at least the first half hour, just about nothing happened (besides an odd "break in"). In keeping with the classic horror film style, only about two of the characters choose to believe in what's happening until disaster strikes... then the remaining ones jump on board. In the end, the flick had us screaming (mostly because we were terrified for the baby), and it had an excellent tie-in with Paranormal Activity. Let's just hope they don't make a third and instead come up with something fresh.
Best fright: When the daughter gets locked out of the house while babysitting.
