THE SHALLOWS REVIEW

A mere 200 yards from shore, surfer Nancy is attacked by a great white shark, with her short journey to safety becoming the ultimate contest of wills. Starring: Blake Lively, Oscar Jaenada, and Brett Cullen Directed by: Jaume Collet-Serra Written by: Anthony Jaswinski   For those who have a fear of the ocean, there’s nothing like a good shark movie. Enter “The Shallows,” where Nancy (Blake Lively), who is a surfer just looking to catch a few waves while on vacation, finds herself in the hunting ground of a great white shark. Poor Nancy ends up interrupting this giant shark, as it’s feasting on a whale carcass. Apparently the shark isn’t too happy about the interruption, and decides it wants to have Nancy as an appetizer. She quickly finds herself separated from her surf board, injured, and left on a rock that’s just above the water at low tide.   While most shark movies take place miles away from shore, this one takes place right off shore. This is a w...

6 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

August 14, 2009 will always be a special day for me. It was when I went from being a just horror fan watching horror movies to a participant in the world of horror. It was when I created  HorrO’s Gory Reviews , and formally introduced myself to the horror world as HorrO. Go figure my first review wasn’t even a horror movie, but a sci-fi one (District 9). Hey, I was a rookie, plus I got to see the movie before its official release. I’ve gone from being a rookie to creating HorrO’s House of Horror, and couldn’t be happier about it. Now if you will bear with me for a little self-promotion, and some “thank-you’s.” I want to celebrate  HorrO’s Gory Reviews ’ 6-year anniversary by thanking all those who have taken the time to read at least one review. It means something to know someone has read your work. I certainly want to thank those who have been with me from the beginning because without you there might not have been even a second or third year annivers...

TERMINATOR GENISYS REVIEW

John Connor sends Kyle Reese back in time to protect Sarah Connor, but when he arrives in 1984, nothing is as he expected it to be. Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke  Directed by: Alan Taylor Written by: Laeta Kalogridis, and Patrick Lussier   The franchise with one of the craziest story lines is the Matrix. However, the Terminator franchise might be catching up to that. For the Terminator franchise, they seem to continually want to go back to the where the technology for the robots is created. Yes, it's a good idea within the plots of the movies, but from a movie watching experience it seems to be getting old already. At this point, lets just move on from after Judgment Day.    A lot of the plot in "Terminator Genisys" centers around time travel, and the repercussions that has. First a terminator goes back in time, and then Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) follows. When he goes back it seriously seems like the audien...

INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 3 REVIEW

A prequel set before the haunting of the Lambert family that reveals how gifted psychic Elise Rainier reluctantly agrees to use her ability to contact the dead in order to help a teenage girl who has been targeted by a dangerous supernatural entity. Starring: Dermot Mulroney, Stefanie Scott, Angus Sampson, and Lin Shaye Written and directed by: Leigh Whannell   "Insidious" introduced audiences to something very creepy, and extremely weird. "Insidious: Chapter 2" followed that up almost reaching that same level of creepiness, but really not explaining much more about 'the Further.' Enter "Insidious: Chapter 3," the prequel that supposedly will fill in some of those blanks. Yes, they went the prequel route to offer audiences something more, but did they really?   Lets start with what many fans, including myself, want to know more about...'the Further.' Obviously there's some venturing into 'the Further,' ...
