THE BABADOOK
Scare-O-meter: 3.5
Our reviewer said: The Babadook makes use of many tropes and plot devices of the horror genre, yet it works in an oddly fascinating way that is also quite scary.
[Synopsis]
From breakthrough writer-director Jennifer Kent comes the creepy psychological horror movie THE BABADOOK that has received an explosion of acclaim following its world premiere at Sundance 2014. The film tells of a single mother, plagued by the violent death of her husband, who battles with her sons night time fear of a shadowy monster. But soon, she discovers a sinister presence is lurking in the house.
With echoes of past and contemporary classics like Rosemarys Baby, The Tenant, The Exorcist, The Omen and Let the Right One In, the film is an immaculately crafted tale starring Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman. The supporting cast includes Daniel Henshall, Hayley McElhinney, Barbara West, and Ben Winspear.
OUIJAScare-O-meter: 3.5
Our reviewer said: As movie buffs we have gathered, eyes of truth, horror genre here this Halloween, we summon you.Welcome to Horrorville this Halloween! Ouija successfully delivers a
series of nonstop jump-in-your-seat scares that stands in the shadows of
Sinister but not anywhere close to Oculus.
[Synopsis]
In Ouija, a group of friends must confront their most terrifying fears when they awaken the dark powers of an ancient spirit board. Stiles White directs the supernatural thriller that is produced by Platinum Dunes partners Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller (The Purge, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th) alongside Blumhouse Productions Jason Blum (Paranormal Activity and Insidious series, The Purge), Bennett Schneir (Battleship) and Hasbro. Juliet Snowden and Stiles White wrote the script for Ouija, and Universal will distribute the film worldwide.
FATAL FRAMEScare-O-meter: 4.5
Our reviewer said: It is time that we say konnichiwa to Asian Horror noir. This might break
a couple of gamers’ hearts but Fatal Frame has got no links to the
actual game or even the novel. Gorgeous imagery, cinematically timeless
and psychologically provocative. Fatal Frame makes up for those lack of jump scares but
renders those chills that build right up to your cheeks.
[Synopsis]
A live-action film adaptation of Fatal Frame (also known as Zero 零 or Project Zero), Tecmo's hit survival horror game that sold 1.3 million has been green-lit. The successful game is popular on all consoles including Playstation, Xbox, Wii and Nintendo 3D. The series plot deal with ghosts, exorcisms and dark rituals. Fatal Frame is one of the most well-received horror games to date. Ayami Nakajō and Aoi Morikawa, two popular models in the Japanese magazine Seventeen, are starring in this film opening throughout Japan this fall.
The original game follows a heroine who uses a Camera Obscura that can photograph spirits. She engages with spirits in a dilapidated Japanese-style house and other settings that gave the title (and its many follow-ups) a particular Japanese ambiance. What sets this game apart from other survival-horror games is that instead of running from the ghosts, you have to face your fears head on by taking pictures of them. The most powerful way to banish a ghost is to take a picture of it right before it tries to kill you, hence the name of the series, Fatal Frame.
