Grave Encounters 2 Film Trailer Review

It's been a while since a horror film scared me through and through. After Paranormal Activity, I started looking for films under the similar genre, the found footage style of filming. In the quest to look for new horror title that would actually scare the hell out me (being a horror fan and all), I happen to stumble upon 2011's Grave Encounters. Saw the trailer and was intrigued. I watched it earlier this year and found it actually entertaining. Really reminded me of the Blairwitch Project and a reality show that I've seen earlier in 2011 Ghost Hunters International. The found footage style of horror have become horror film's latest trend as observed in the success of the Paranormal Activity film franchise. So it is only natural for Grave Encounters to have a shot at a sequel right?

This time it is the audience of the fake reality television's turn to explore the haunted halls of the old psychiatric hospital that preyed on the crew on the first film. Being skeptics and fans of the first film, a group of film student embark on this quest biting off more than they could chew. Well, basing from this trailer, the hospital is really haunted. Well, DUH?!? If it isn't, then what a disappointing sequel would this film be. But good that they delivered. Well hopefully there are more scarier stuff than what is seen on this trailer. If I remembered correctly, the first film's trailer featured this particular scary moment in the film which took me when watching the actual film. Well, hopefully I'm wrong but the nurse seen in this trailer is just like that. Well, I thank this trailer for saving me a jump scare. Hopefully they will also deliver on their promise of double the everything. Please Grave Encounters 2, don't be the lame sequel that I dread when t comes to horror film sequels. If you like the found footage genre, horror, the first Grave Encounters, then this is a must. If you haven't checked the first one, try doing so to check what you're missing. I personally would be looking forward to see this sequel.

Sinister Film Trailer Review

Horror film fans may argue to whether Paranormal Activity and Insidious are effective and good horror films, but for the rest of the world that loved the two recent horror film titles would probably expect a lot from Sinister. Sinister is a horror film from the same producers that made Paranormal Activity and Insidious, so how does the trailer fairs up with its predecessors?

Sinister's premise is not really authentic, a family moved into a house with a gruesome history which will later haunt their family as well. The only redeeming qualities of horror films under these kinds of caliber and cliche are the scares. A good mix of jump and psychological scares is always a plus in my book and so far, Sinister has some of them. Hope the film would offer something new or has some weird twist, but even if without them I would still see this film being a big fan of horror film and as for someone who liked the Paranormal Activity and Insidious.

How about you guys? What can you say about this haunted house/ demonic possession film from the producers of Insidious and Paranormal Activity? Did you like the two films that the makers of Sinister recently produced? Share your thoughts on the comments section below:

Apartment 143 (Emergo) Film Trailer Review

We have seen the rise of the found footage or mockumentary genre in films. It usually works with horror titles wth a few exception like Chronicle. Paranormal Activity, REC, and Blairwitch Project are probably the best example of which. This time it is the 2011 Spanish horror film Emergo's turn to take the centerstage with its international re-release with a new title Apartment 143 (Emergo).

I personally find this trailer to be interesting. In an industry where there is no REAL authentic idea, I welcome any deviation from what we previously liked on previous mockumentary or found-footage format horror titles. I am curious as to how the hauntings in this film shall progress with no real high expectations that it will end in an epic moment. If you are into Paranormal Activity, Blairwitch Project, Ghost Hunters International, or mockumentaries, then this is worth checking out.

House at the End of the Street Film Trailer Review

The House at the End of the Street trailer has an interesting movie trailer. It kind of reminiscent of Dead Island's trailer that plays backwards but it is really not. On that note, this trailer deserves some recognition.

A film about how curiosity killed the cat. What's the mystery behind that house at the end of the street? What are these explainable events that are vaguely shown in this trailer. H.A.T.E.S. film has some really intriguing things going on on its trailer. Hopefully it transcends to the actual product. The big question in my mind now to whether the film is really a horror (the supernatural kind) film or a psychological thriller?

Playback Film Trailer Review

Home videos are fun to watch and share with your friends and family, but there are some videos that aren't meant to be shared... all you'll die in seven days... oh wait, wrong film. Well this is another Hollywood horror movie that tries to use the "cursed" video concept.



The question is... Is Playback's trailer any good? It feels awfully familiar. It is probably because that it falls under that "serial killer's twisted soul back to kill again" type of horror with some found-footage(genre) elements. I give this trailer a "Meh!" or a mediocre rating as I didn't feel a thing (either curiousity nor excitement) about the film in general.
