HorrO's Gory Reviews

When her little brother, Martin, experiences the same events that once tested her sanity, Rebecca works to unlock the truth behind the terror, which brings her face to face with an entity that has an attachment to their mother, Sophie. Starring: Teresa Palmer, Gabriel Bateman, and Maria Bello Directed by: David F. Sandberg Written by: Eric Heisserer, and David F. Sandberg   For those who might not know, “Lights Out” was originally a short film . The short film went viral on the internet, the right people saw it (James Wan), and then production began on the feature film version. Being a promoter of horror, it’s awesome to see so much success for a short film. Being a horror movie reviewer, the question is if the feature film can be as successful.   To start, the short film basically introduces audiences to the entity, and how it behaves when the lights go on and off. The feature film expands on this, and gives the entity and the people it haunts a story...

Years after sparing the man who killed his son, former police sergeant Barnes has become head of security for Senator Charlie Roan, a Presidential candidate targeted for death on Purge night due to her vow to eliminate the Purge. Starring: Frank Grillo, Elizabeth Mitchell, and Mykelti Williamson Directed and written by: James DeMonaco   “The Purge” ends up being just another home invasion type horror movie missing out on all of the chaos that’s happening in the streets. “ The Purge: Anarchy ” takes a hold of what the Purge really means, and lets the audience in on the chaos and violence in the streets. It almost seems like the two movies would have worked better in reverse order. With two movies down, where would “The Purge: Election Year” take this story?   Well early on it almost seems like the movie is going to follow the original. Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell) has taken a hard stance against the annual Purge, and her opponents are looking t...

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...

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...

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...
