DISTURBING BEHAVIOR

The movie begins as a young teenage boy moves into there new home. NO, It's not there home they have to worry about, but the other teen's in the town. David Nutter made his directorial debut with this fantasy thriller, attempting a switch on The Stepford Wives premise. The Clark family moves from Chicago to Cradle Bay, and Steve Clark ( James Marsden) gets an outline from Gavin Strick ( Nick Stahl) on social-strata separating factions at the local high school, where the Blue Ribbons, a club of robotic perfect students, rule. Gavin claims a conspiracy is afoot, and sure enough, he turns into an ultra-perfect himself. Rachel Wagner ( Katie Holmes) joins Steve in investigating, and they soon suspect school psychiatrist Dr. Caldicott ( Bruce Greenwood), a neuropharmacology specialist. The only good thing about this movie was the plot. MY FAVORITE SCENE: Katie Holmes in the boiler room with another loser actor. Katie, you could have done so much better. Well it's a good movie if your a first timer.

EVIL DEAD 2: Dead By Dawn

When I first saw Evil Dead the original, I was like wow. I was eight, and I probably saw it at my uncles house, because if your like me or him you are probably a horror freak. Evil Dead some really cool effects and to be will be a classic. I don't like the fact that Sam Rami has changed his style of directing but hey times change. The movie begins as two young couple go upstate to a log cabin that Ash (Bruce Campbell) rented. But then when Ash finds the book of the dead. Thing's just get fu*ked up. This high-octane semi-sequel to Sam Raimi's cult hit The Evil Dead has nearly eclipsed its predecessor's reputation thanks to an endless barrage of hyperkinetic camera acrobatics, rapid-fire editing and "splatstick" gore effects ... not to mention a truly goofy performance by Bruce Campbell. Nearly the entire storyline of the previous film has been re-shot and presented in a drastically condensed form within the first few minutes: rock-jawed but clueless "hero" Ash (Campbell) now visits the mountain cabin only with girlfriend Linda (played here by Denise Bixler). Upon arrival at the cabin, Ash discovers the Sumerian Book of the Dead, the ritual dagger and a reel-to-reel tape containing the professor's translations of the book's hieroglyphics. The incantations summon an unseen, growling spirit from within the woods, which bursts into the cabin and takes possession of Linda's soul. Ash is forced to decapitate her with a shovel, after which he buries her in the forest. At first dawn, Ash tries to make his escape, but is promptly set upon by the spirits, given a solid thrashing and nearly possessed himself, saved only by the arrival of sunlight. Cut off from the outside world, Ash is forced to hole up in the cabin and wait for the next demonic onslaught -- which arrives sooner than expected, led by Linda's rotting corpse. After being bitten by Linda's chatty decapitated head, Ash's hand becomes independent of his body and begins pummeling him repeatedly. The story then jumps to a local airport, where the professor's daughter Annie ( Sarah Berry) and her partner Ed Getley ( Richard Domier) have just arrived with the missing pages to the Necronomicon. They employ a cranky pair of local rednecks, Jake ( Dan Hicks) and Bobbie Joe ( Kassie Wesley), as guides to lead them through the dense woods to the cabin ... where, at that very moment, Ash is removing his belligerent hand with a chainsaw, creating yet another ambulatory foe. Driven to the brink of insanity, Ash fires blindly at a noise outside, unaware that the new arrivals are Annie and company. Bobbie Joe is injured by the gunshot, which incurs the wrath of Jake, who knocks Ash senseless and locks him in the fruit cellar. Believing her father was murdered by Ash, Annie plays the rest of the professor's recording to learn the truth, and discovers her possessed mother was buried in the same cellar -- and not exactly resting in peace. This touches off a string of unbelievably gruesome (and hysterically funny) events, including Henrietta's transformation into a stop-motion creature (reminiscent of a Ray Harryhausen creation), Ed's sudden metamorphosis into a toothy, levitating ghoul, and Ash's climactic confrontation with the forest demon itself. The obvious glee with which Raimi and company present this cavalcade of slime-drenched monstrosities and Three Stooges pratfalls makes it impossible to take seriously as a horror film, but Evil Dead 2 is nevertheless essential viewing among connoisseurs of truly demented cinema. The film's sardonic coda opened the way for a slightly less successful sequel, Army of Darkness.

DAWN OF THE DEAD

This movie is my all time favoirte movies that were ever made. As you can tell, im not into all this new sh!t. The only new horror movie I liked was The Haunting, but that was my limited view. I recently have read George A. Romero's, first ending to Dawn of the Dead. Which I liked very much, but I think that maybe just one should have survived. When I first saw this great movie I was 13. This movie to me was the sh!t. No horror movie has ever toped this movie.'am a writor, and write now I'm re-writting this great horror classic. I'm using the same style Romero used for his original script. The ending will be true to Romero's vision. The story begins as A woman is sleeping on a floor, she awaken's to a frightening dream. She then realizes that it was no dream,. Director George A. Romero's epic sequel to his legendary Night of the Living Dead has firmly established itself as the equal of its ground-breaking predecessor. Though shot in 1978 -- ten years after the first films' release -- Dawn's story begins as if the events in Night had happened only a few months before: after shambling armies of the recently-dead take over every major city -- seeking warm human flesh for food -- the U.S. government imposes a state of martial law, sending in special National Guard units to attack and destroy zombie infestation where they find it. Two members of one such unit, Peter ( Ken Foree) and Roger ( Scott Reiniger) have been tasked to overthrow a nest of zombies in a Pittsburgh housing project (one of the film's most explicitly gory scenes). When the job turns ugly and Peter is forced to terminate his own berserk, racist commanding officer, the pair decide to split the outfit with the help of his friend Stephen ( David Emge), a traffic pilot for WGON-TV, and the station's floor manager, Stephen's girlfriend Frances ( Gaylen Ross). Together they steal the station's helicopter and head for less-populated areas, but after some narrow scrapes with flesh-hungry redneck ghouls in the country outside Harrisburg, they opt for a more secure hideout. Eventually they find the perfect solution: a massive, sprawling shopping mall. After the lengthy process of purging the building of zombies is complete, the four secure themselves snugly in the miniature city, consigned to live out their lives in a dull but cushy consumer's paradise... but the arrival of a menacing gang of nomadic bikers proves that this is not to be. With their survival instincts weakened by a mallful of toys and trinkets, the crew are again forced to face grim reality as they face both living and undead foes in a final battle. Romero's excellent, multi-layered story combines high-adventure heroics, three-dimensional characters and explicit gore (by the always masterful Tom Savini, who plays a small role as a leering biker) to excellent effect. The subtext comparing the glassy-eyed behavior patterns of the ghouls to those of American consumers is clear, but not overdone: "It's some kind of instinct," Stephen comments, observing the zombies' attraction to the mall; "This was an important place in their lives." Despite the glimmer of hope offered by the film's closing scene, the outlook for humankind is grim. Perhaps it is Frannie who best expresses Dawn's outlook for humanity: "We're not gonna make it, are we?" Several versions of this film are available on video, including a faster-paced European version edited by overseas distributor Dario Argento and a "Director's Cut" with a great deal of exposition restored (though Romero is quoted as having preferred the unrated cut released initially to U.S. theaters). The shooting script also contains a more downbeat ending, which was never filmed. This movie is a great movie. I liked this movie ten times better than the original "Night of the Living Dead". If your going to go out for a movie, see if your video store carries Dawn of The Dead. It is slow pacing and the zombies don't look as hot as they do in "Night of the Living Dead 90's remake" or in "Return of the Living Dead", but trust me I think you would do the same thing if you were in this sittuation?????
