Poltergeist

A while on a girls night out, we went to see  Poltergeist in the cinema (only getting round to writing about it now). I love a good horror movie and I was really hoping this would be a breath of fresh air from all the really bad non-scary films that have been made in the past few years.

The film began quite good, a few strange things started to happen. Things moved on their own, the little girl was talking to "an imaginary friend", there was a few strange noises and they even added in some creepy clowns. Then one night the parents go out and things get a bit more intense. I must admit I did jump in places but I would like to add that we were watching this in 3D.
They tried to make it out that there was some sort of portal in the house, this is where the film started to go downhill for me. I don't really want to go into too much detail here. If you have read any of my previous film or book reviews you will know that I don't like to spoil anything for anyone. But anyway, there is a portal. A ghost hunter comes in to try and investigate and to me everything from this point on becomes a little OTT/far fetched. Frankly some parts are just plain silly and this is what I hate about these kinds of "horror" movies. It takes the scary element out completely.
I was actually quite disappointed in this film because it started so well. It was as if it was created by two different people, one who was creating a masterpiece and a joker who comes in and messes it up halfway through. Although some people get scared easier than others so anyone who gets easily freaked out could probably appreciate this film a lot more than I did.

I don't think I could recommend this film to anyone but I don't like to put anyone off who is wanting to see it. If you want to experience it for yourself please do as your opinion could be very different form mine.

Clown

Finally I got round to watching the film clown last night. My sister and I love our horror films, so since we were having a girly night in we decided to cross another one off the list.

I seen the trailer for the film when it was first released and my initial thoughts were "that looks like a film that could give me nightmares!"
It starts off straight into the story which I like. I hate the kind of horror films that have people going about their daily lives for the first hour of the film and it takes forever to get to the good 'scary' bits.

I did like the story line and I had high hopes for the film. Personally I didn't find it as scary as I thought, most horrors don't frighten me anyway and I don't have a huge phobia of clowns, but still I wasn't disappointed. There were a few moments where I found myself on the edge of my seat saying to myself "Oh no!" Hes going to do this and hes going to do that.

We (my sister and me) both agreed that we would watch it again. I would recommend this film to everyone unless you have a serious fear of clowns or are under the age of like 15 because you will not sleep!
