The Babadook

A troubled family encounters a book which harbors an entity.

 For the most part, “The Babadook” is a solid story.

The film features loss, depression, anxiety and even an evil presence.  Overall, this kinda puts me in an evil-ish “Home Alone”.    Not bad for a 1-timer.

The Lord of Tears

An Irish teacher inherits a house from his mother that harbors a secret.

“The Lord of Tears” is the story of a man plagued by the multiple estates his mother leaves him and oh, also by an Owlman.  That’s right. Honestly this was a confusing film. There was however an Epic Mustache Man though.  Throughout the film, scenes would flash to EMM doing various things like: holding marbles, sharpening an axe, and taking baths.  Let that sink in. Also, the 5 minute dancing scene is something to behold.

I didn’t really care for “The Lord of Tears”, but I can’t help but feel that I missed some deeper meaning.  Watch it and wonder as well.

Temple

Three adventure seekers find trouble in the mountains of Japan.

This is one of those movies where multiple warnings are ignored and people are left wondering, “why is this happening?” You’ve probably have already seen this movie under a different title and cast. It is formulaic and not worth the time.

Don’t be Afraid of the Dark

An architect buys a mansion to refurbish, but some things are better left undiscovered.


This is a decent film with good atmosphere and a brood of charming little critters. A good first film for those new to horror and a decent palate cleanser for those who aren’t. Good for a watch.
