The Others - Must-see

Today I went by Jenny’s house today to hang out and we decided to watch a movie. We wanted to see The Others for some time now so this was our chance.

I have say, I was expecting to see a ghost movie that will make it difficult to close my eyes at night without a final glimpse towards the window. Well, once again I was proven wrong. I don’t mean to say the movie is bad, far from it, but it wasn’t what I expected it to be. It has a couple of twists and turns that will make you smile in a creepy way.

What can I say? I liked it, quite a lot actually; especially because it gives a new perspective, making it unique in its own way. We all saw scary ghost movies and know them inside out, this one is different, it is in a league all of its own. I don’t really want to tell you why I say that because it might ruin the movie for you; although I doubt it.

The way Nicole Kidman plays it’s beyond words; she really is one of my favorite actresses. Along with Fionnula Flanagan (which also is a great actress) and a well written script makes this movie a modern day classic; but don’t take my word for it, see the 7.8 rating on imdb and the Golden Globe nominee, or just see it yourself and make your own ideas about it.

Paranormal Activity - creepy movie

I’ve seen Paranormal Activity the other day. Yes, I know it’s been a while since it hit cinemas all over; I just didn’t find the time to go see it.

I have to say that I didn’t find it very scary while I was watching it; maybe it was because the people I was with kept on talking throughout the whole movie. But it is a good movie, I recommend you see it in the cinema or at home with quiet friends. It starts quite slow, but gradually becomes scary keeping you pined to your sit.

I liked it because it has a Blair Witch Project kind of view and quite a nice story. I’m not really a horror fanatic, but this one was ok.

The best thing about it is that it didn’t scare me very much when I saw it, but more the next day. Today we were hearing noises, same as in the movie, and getting a bit scared with a smile on our face. I heard some say that they couldn’t sleep for weeks without looking at the door scared; I just didn’t see it that way. It’s nice for a relaxing evening.
