Cube was made in 1997, is a psychological science fiction horror movie, which basically is about trapping people in a giant cube, divided into several smaller cubes, filled with traps trigged by movements and other classical sci-fi details. The people enclosed in the smaller cubes, struggle with increasing paranoia, stress and fear.

Considering it's kind of an old movie, it's suprisingly wellmade and the directing was good, as well as the casting. It's directed by Vincenzo Natali. The two sequels are directed by others, but I find his directing better than the other's. Also, the cube walls were surprisingly wellmade, and the story quite believable.

Director: Vincenzo Natali

Distribution: Trimark Pictures

Release date: 9th September 1997

This is the greatest movie of all time. Especially since Shane and his beautiful girl, Lisa are both in it. They're the most cute couple ever.
Shane directed and and starred in the movie himself, and it's a fucking masterpiece. It's about Tori, who comes back to her hometown for Thanksgiving, and Scott, who's stuck in the past. There's also a sideplot, where Joel is trying to woo Scott's sister Janie by using knowledge he had collected from social media.

The movie is kind of fucked up, but it's the good kind of fucked up. Shane is a genious, and the actors are amazing and fit their parts perfectly. The directing is amazing, and the manuscript is great. I love the characters and they are highly relatable. The clip over the picture is the full movie, and I'd love for you to watch it if you haven't yet.

Director: Shane Dawson

Production: Point Park University

Curse of Chucky, which was made in 2013, is an American horrormovie starring Brad Dourif as Chucky and Fiona Dourif as Nica Pierce. The movie has scared several people shitless, including some of the people I know. I still find Chucky as whitty and relatable as usual.

A mysterious package arrives at Sarah and Nica's doorstep, and it turns out to be a big redheaded doll. Nice doesn't give it too much tought, thinking it was sent as a joke or a plain mistake. Later that night, Sarah dies from a stab wound. Soon the whole family arrive for the funeral, and also for wanting to help Nica. And when the storm kicks in, they're all alone, not knowing that there's a vicious killer in the same house.

Director: Don Mancini
Distribution: Universal Studios Home Entertainment

Release Date: August 2nd

Bride of Chucky” takes place in 1998, as the doll of a legendary murderer Charles “Chucky” Lee, comes back to his former girlfriend, Tiffany. Through a satanic ritual, Tiffany brings the doll to life with Chucky’s spirit possessing it, dragging his soul back from the dead. Chucky then kills Tiffany’s current boyfriend, and they celebrate a happy reunion.  But pretty soon Tiffany is turned into a little doll as well, and they realize they need human bodies to become human again. They also need an amulet, which was buried with Chucky in Hackensack, New Jersey.
Meanwhile, Jade and Jesse, a couple of young teenagers, are planning on running away together. These teens turn out to play a significant part in the story of Chucky and his girlfriend.

The movie, directed by Ronny Yu, is a classic horror film, along with the other movies about Chucky. It’s written by Don Mancini, who also contributed to the looks of the dolls for both Tiffany and Chucky. The music is made by Graeme Revell, composer, and Peter Pau was in charge of the cinematography.

The camera work is extra-ordinary; my personal favorites are the two final scenes, which I’ll not spoil. The angles, even if they are true horror classics, are well made and there’s nothing bad to say about them. They fit the purpose of making a real horror classic. The special effects are, considering it was made in 1998, skilful and equally well shot. I consider the sceneries to be close to perfection as humanly possible, but an actual critic would find many flaws with everything in the scenery, and the whole movie for that matter.

The plot is close to flawless, even if there are some things that I’d personally change, but they are nothing but details that don’t really affect the story. I also love the way Tiffany makes her dolls body change into something completely else (from an adorable little bride, into an alternative woman in a dirty white dress). I, of course since I always do, fell more or less in love with Chucky’s character, when he first appeared on the screen. His murderous ways, his insane laughter and his hysterical eyes stand in a nice contrast to the way he treats Tiffany, and how much he actually cares about her. I think their whole relationship is remarkable. In my opinion, he’s a perfect villain, even though he’s incredibly short, and actually looks like a children’s toy.

The movie is meant to be a horror, and even though I wasn’t the least bit afraid when watching it, I was horrified a couple of nights after watching it. I kept having nightmares of Chucky standing beside my bed when I woke up. But then again, I’m quite sensitive when it comes to horror. I find the movie remarkable, even after watching it quite a few times. Both Chucky and Tiffany will stay with me for quite some time, and I even got the ideas to two of my own fictional characters through them. These characters are an inspiration to me, and they will always be one of the many reasons that I love this movie.

The Purge poster.jpg

In the 2022 America violence and crime is almost non-existant. People live in peace and happiness under the watch of "New Founding Fathers of America". Or so people like to think. In fact, America in 2022 is corrupted and twisted, organizing the Purge once a year to reduce anger and crime among the state's citizens. For a 12-hour period all crime, including murder, is completely legal.

The idea of the movie was amazing. They could have made a masterpiece from it, and decided to go with a family drama. I was disappointed. I would have changed the script completely, turned the whole movie around and made something the idea deserved.

Director: James DeMonaco

Distribution: Universal Pictures

Released: June 7th 2013

Quote: "We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be killed and forgotten. But hundred years later, an idea can still change the world"

The film is about an opressed Britain, in which the government holds their people by the throath, they do not lead, they pull. And there's a man with a mysterious mask, who calls himself V, who wants the rueling of the country to become the duty of Britains people, not politicians. He suddenly dicedes to involve a young woman named Evey in his plans, something that will change both him, her and Britain for ever.

This film has been used by protesters to make stronger argument, and the mask that V carries has been used to promote libertarian and anarchistic beliefs. It's a strong film, involving a lot of blood, and there's a recommended age for watchers for a reason. Still, despite being so rough and even blunt at many moments, we learn lots of things from this film. I higly recommend that you watch it, if you already haven't. Also, I recommend that you remember the 5th of November.

Title: V For Vendetta
