The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003 Review.

Based on True events, In 1970's Texas. A local police department went to the house of ruthless serial killer ED Gein. What they discovered was much worse when they found bits of hair on the ceilings and fingernails scratched into the walls. They found many victims claiming the house as the sight of a massacre. They captured the infamous killer although thanks to him the world has three iconic characters; Norman Bates, Buffalo Bill and Thomas Hewitt aka Leatherface.

This story focuses on the killer Leatherface and his infamous family of cannibals. In 1973, A group of twenty somethings are travelling across Texas to get to Mexico until everything goes wrong when they pick up a hitchiker who eventually blows her brains out with a handgun. Their trip gets worse however when they go searching for the sheriff but instead run into Leatherface and his Chainsaw eventually leading to them becoming family food.

The film features many gory scenes but also contains a few shocks in which you would probably jump. The film has also got a great cast with Jessica Biel (Blade Trinity) and Mike Vogel (Cloverfield) and many many more. All in all A great film and a great remake. Definitley worth a watch.***

Paranormal Activity 2 Review

Back in 2009, Paramount Pictures made a low budget film called Paranormal Activity which told the story of a young couple who find out they have a poltergeist in their new home. It was shown for a limited run in america where people had to vote on whether or not it was shown in cinemas everywhere for a longer run. leading to the eventual release of it in cinemas all over the world and also leading to the annual halloween horror film taking the crown from the Saw franchise.

Paranormal Activity 2 is more a prequel than sequel however in the last 5 minutes of the film it shows you what happened after the events of the first film. It tells the story of Katie's sister Christine and her family who move into a new house and in the morning they find their house trashed. Thinking it is a thief they get security cameras installed but find out something much worse.

I found it pretty interesting the way the camera switched between birds eye view with the security cameras and first person with the camcorder and it was great the way the poltergeist attacked during the day instead of only at night although this one provides less shocks and cliffhangers. Also great to see fresh new faces instead of just two people.

All in all good sequel but in my personal opinion they should finish it with paranormal activity 3 this year as it will never be able to achieve as many sequels as Saw and be successful. ***
