Can you put the pieces together?

So I know I usually post scary story reviews on the weekends, but I actually wrote this blog in October, and just forgot to post it. Since I saw this film I still feel I should post this review because better late than never. Sorry that it is kind of out of place, but if you haven't seen Jigsaw yet this can help you decide if you should or not.

The Saw franchise took seven years to complete, with a total count of seven gloriously gruesome movies. Everyone thought when the final movie came out in 2010 that was the end of the Jigsaw killer. But he is back in the new movie Jigsaw that was released October 27, 2017. The movie is a horrific mystery that follows a series of murders bearing all the markings of the Jigsaw killer, law enforcement officials find themselves chasing the ghost of a man who has been dead for over a decade, and they become embroiled in a new game that's only just begun. Is John Kramer back from the dead to remind the world to be grateful for the gift of life? Or is this a trap set by a killer with designs of his own? Directors  Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig capture the horror of all the past Saw films but keep you on the edge of your seat as you try to figure out who is behind these murders. Trust me you will be shocked by the truth behind the murders, I definitely was.
This movie takes a lot to put the pieces together *pun intended* It is a murder mystery that if you figure out who the killer is kudos to you. This movie was so intense I couldn’t close my eyes once; even during the gory parts. For those people who see these movies for the contraptions and blood trust me you will not be disappointed. The parts you see in the trailers that seem intriguing they don’t disappoint in the film. Could you imagine being stuck in grain and having sharp objects fall less than an inch from your face? I can’t. The others traps will make you cringe, and want to close your eyes, but somehow you just can’t. It seriously does take certain types of people to be able to see these movies, and even make them, but the mystery combined with the contraptions makes for an amazing horror film. My mom thinks I’m completely insane for being able to watch a movie like this, but considering the theatre was full when I saw it I’m not alone in that aspect.
So, if you can stomach a movie that shows people being tortured and basically shredded you should see the eighth movie of the Saw franchise. There is more to it than just people fighting for their lives, it has a puzzle that takes skill to put the pieces together.

The Whispers

Today being another Saturday I think it is time for a Scary Story Saturday. The story I plan to review is one that I can relate to in a sense, but I cannot relate to the experience. I hope no other person can because some scary stuff went down. The story’s link will be posted at the bottom of the page but here is the story: This is a story I do not often tell. I promise, sincerely, that this has scarred me for life and although I have looked into psychological explanations for what I heard and natural explanations for what occurred, they remain unsatisfactory. When I was a child, I was scared of the dark. I swore to my mother I heard voices in it. They were not evil, but they were not familiar and so they scared me. It was not uncommon in the middle of the night for me to wake up and hear “whispers” as I would call them when asking my mom. She figured they were just “bumps in the night” and typical kids nightmare material. I tried often to explain to her that it was more t...

"The House that Spirits Built"

Image
This is a movie that I would definitely see again. I was unsure of what to expect going into the theater, but I was pleasantly surprised. On an isolated stretch of land 50 miles outside of San Francisco sits one of the country's most beautiful mansions. Built by Sarah Winchester, heiress to the Winchester fortune, it is a house that knows no end. Constructed in an incessant twenty-four hour a day, seven day a week mania for decades, it stands seven stories tall and contains hundreds of rooms. To the outsider it looks like a monstrous monument to a disturbed woman's madness. But Sarah is not building for herself, for her niece or for the brilliant Doctor Eric Price whom she has summoned to the house. She is building a prison, an asylum for hundreds of vengeful ghosts, and the most terrifying among them have a score to settle with the Winchesters.  From scene one of this film the creepiness is immediately prominent. You follow a little boy that is awoken in the middle o...

This should wake you up

Me being a major fan of the second Amityville film, when I first saw a trailer for this movie I could not wait to see it. Then the release dates were mixed up because the first trailer said it would be released January 2015, then it was pushed until April 2016, then January of 2017 then was finally released in June of 2017. Unfortunately, it had a silent release into Google Play, then had a week-long showing in select theatre in New York. So, I thought seeing this film would never happen, except for maybe streaming it on some website. Then, one day I came across it while looking for a movie to rent in one of those Redbox machines at the store. My dreams of wanting to see the film had come true. I just hoped and prayed it would live up to my expectations. I am glad to say, for me, I enjoyed the film. It revolves around a new family moving into the house of horrors, a single mother with her three children: seventeen-year-old Belle, her twin brother James (who is in a comatose state),...
