Highly recommended for horror fans!

March 18th... There is a reason to live till then...

Yes, you must survive and not let anything happen to you to impact your eyes so that you can watch these 8 films (to die for), hahaahah! I am not joking. The After Dark Horrorfest 2007 movies are released on that day in USA. You can preorder now from amazon at (below) USD$19.90 each. If you recalled the ADH 2006, it was fantastic to have 8 damn good independent movies (ok, maybe except PENNY DREADFUL which might be the only one that will import here...). But I hold high hopes for the 2007 ones and to be truthful, I did catch some shots from the so call TS version of 2 of them, but I am not interested to ruined my inprint for this. anyway, here are the 8 shows for 2007!

GrindHouse Review

Finally caught BOTH these movies. I must say I enjoy Planet Terror a lot more. Both are still good in my opinion. There were a lot of flaming on Quentin Taratino's Death Proof. I had to watch it for myself. I guess many people did not know what this movie is trying to do. Its got a little of everything in it and it was purposely produced without CGI in plain camera good-old-days style. This is the theme that was carried out through the 2 parts in Death Proof.

Death Proof talks about a maniac car killer with a buff up "death-proof" vehicle. Well, it is. As a spoiler. He was not killed in the car. It consist of 2 segment and its almost like 2 movies already. Part 1 to introduce the character and what he do (not why though) and part 2 is where he met his match and finally pay the ultimate price. There are lots of conversation and that was what most people did not like. But I quite enjoyed it though. It may be silly bimbo talk, but I guess its satire in a different form. It enjoyable to me at least.

Planet Terror, on the other hand was handled like another zombie movie, except its much much better. There is moments of action, love, horror, violence and even a little part and bits about brotherhood. I love the tag "Two Against the World". I guess that sound nice. I don't want to say too much about Planet Terror, because I think you should just catch it yourself. If you like zombie movie, you will not be disappointed.

怪 Ayakashi

Finally got a chance to catch the 11 episodes of Ayakashi which was produced in 2006. This is another excellent anime especially if you are into culture Japanese horror. The series is mostly based on the Edo period with 3 stories : Yotsuya Kaidan, Tenshu Monogatari and Bakeneko.

I have seen and heard of the first story many times, but I did not know that it was a cursed play... Scary. Of the other 2, I like Tenshu Monogatari more because of the character design as well as the touching stories of how a goddess would give up her immortality for the love of a human.

The 2 theme songs are fantastic. I like the end song Haru no Katami (Memento of Spring) by Chitose Hajime better which is pretty touching if you understand the lyrics. The starting song, Heat Island gives me a whole new definition of Japanese rap which I used to think was nothing...

Please do not confuse this with another H Game of the same name, which I say is pretty cool as well :

Scary Night Shopping

This is the new promotion logos about a few owls shopping late at night... However, I do not know if its intentional, these owl can also look as horrifying skeletons with big eyes and huge teeths... I have circled out the 2 huge eyes and the big mouth with white teeths. See this :

Scary?
