3 Horror Genre Movies I Will Never Understand!

I'm not a stupid woman despite some of the things that I might say or the way I might come across sometimes.  However, there are some movies I will just never understand no matter how hard I try to wrap my head around it and I am pretty good with abstract matters as far as "getting them" and I am actually pretty deep despite my sometimes oblivious and silly outward appearance.

1.  Session 9 (2001) - Tensions rise within an asbestos cleaning crew as they work in an abandoned mental hospital with a horrific past that seems to be coming back.

Not only was it long and boring, but don't get it.  I really just wanted to see it, because it was filmed in the abandoned mental hospital in the area I grew up in and a town I once lived in my late 20's, Danvers, Massachusetts.  I lived there for about 5 years and have been fascinated with the building and grounds since I was a child and my grandmother told me what type of hospital it was, exactly.

I was excited to see Warren from Empire Records as an adult.  Warren isn't stealing CDs anymore.  Nobody cares about them.  Anyway, the movie is available on Netflix for members and on Comcast XFinity Go if you have it.  Click here to watch it on Xfinity Go.  Its only available on DVD at Netflix, unfortunately, but click here if you have Netflix to send for the DVD rental.

2.  Lost Highway (1997) - Set in a city with a very "L.A." feel, a jazz musician, tortured by the idea that his wife is cheating all of a sudden becomes accused of killing here.  Another story in this movie happens simultaneously; a mechanic is drawn into a web of lies by a seductress who isn't being faithful to her boyfriend, who is involved in organized crime. These two stories are tied together, because the two women in this movie, appear to be one in the same.  The men are connected by a strange set of circumstances that comes to pass and makes them unsure of who they even are.

Ok, now David Lynch confuses me and sometimes I get it, but Holy Mother of God!?????  I do not get it.  I will say, though, this movie has a seriously killer soundtrack and a really great cast!  David Lynch is good at making everything feel like film noir, making people have no idea who they even are, and having things happen at the same time in different dimensions, but it makes for a hell of a film and its creepy as hell!  Oh, bless the 90's.  It was a weird time!

This scene in particular bugs me out! Check it out in the player below!

Again, this one is only available on Netflix on DVD, but click here if you are a member and want to rent the DVD.  Its actually really hard to find to rent and it seems the only place you can rent the DVD without purchasing it is Netflix.

3.  Lovely Molly (2011) - Newlywed Molly, a recovering drug addict with family secrets, moves into her deceased parents' former home in the county, where painful memories soon begin to haunt her and her demons begin to surface, consequently. 

Weird, now, is the father demon-possessed and the infestation sort of spreads or is everyone in Molly's family out of their freakin' minds.  Is her husband really being naughty or is this all in her imagination, who knows.  Its anyone's guess.

If you have Comcast XFinity Go, you can watch Lovely Molly by clicking here.  Its also available to members of Vudu, Netflix, and Google Play.  You can also watch it on Amazon Instant Video.  Click the respective links aforementioned to be brought to the pages to rent the flick if you want to watch it!

Unexpected Horror Plot Twists

I am going to discuss a few movies without giving away the endings if you haven't seen them that have strange, confusing, and clever plot twists. I'll link the ones that are available free online and show you where to watch the ones that aren't without paying a mint! They are in no necessary order from best to worst, this is just a list.

1.   Gothika (2003) - a film which stars Halle Berry and Robert Downey Jr. Halle portrays a psychiatrist who gets in a car accident nobody bears witness to and she winds up waking up in the very asylum in which she practices. She has to figure out what the hell happened, why she got there, and who committed the horrifying crime for which she is accused.

Gothika is available on Netflix.

Gothika is also available on Amazon & Amazon Prime, Vudu, and iTunes.

Its also available below if you don't have an Amazon Prime Subscription.

If you sign up with the link I just posted, you get 30 days free and you can cancel at any time during or at the end of the 30 days if you choose not to keep your subscription.

2.  The Uninvited (2009) - Emily Browning stars in this thriller, which is the American version of the 2003 South Korean film, A Tale of Two Sisters, in which she returns home from a psychiatric hospital visit which resulted following the death of her mother.  When she arrives home, Anna is shocked to discover that her father has recently gotten engaged to Rachel (Elizabeth Banks), her mother's former nurse. 

Anna's suspicions about Rachel are quickly realized to be true when her deceased mother contacts her from the beyond the grave to warn the girl and her sister to try and convince their father that Rachel is not who he thinks she is. 

You can watch The Univited on YouTube, MGo, Vudu, Amazon, Best Buy's Cinema Now, and iTunes.

Its Korean version, A Tale of Two Sisters is available on Netflix.

3.  Lost Highway (1997) - This one was really weird.  I still don't think I get it all these years later.  Fred Madison (Bill Pullman), a musician, receives a message from an unknown man on his front door intercom saying, "Dick Laurent is dead." When he looks out his window nobody is there, but he hears the faint sound of police sirens.

The next day, there is a random package on his front doorstep with a video tape of inside his house.  After their evening lovins seesion, Fred sees Renee's face as that of a pale old man. Another weird tape shows up showing inside their house and frames of he and his wife in bed sleeping. They call the cops, but two detectives Al and Ed say that there's nothing they can do about it, but agree to keep an eye out.

That evening, Fred and Renee go out to a party held by Andy where Fred meets a creepy old guy played by Robert Blake clas in all black.  Oddly, his face looks like the one he saw on his wife's head after a lovins session the other night.

He actually tells Fred that he is at his house right now. Fred phones his house and the voice of the creepy guy answers his phone while he's standing right in front of him.  Fred walks away and asks Andy who the guy is and and he says he's a friend of Dick Laurent.

The next day, another random tape arrives and Fred watches it alone. I can't say what happens next, but its a really weird flick and you have no idea what's going on until the end.  I still haven't figured it out, but it was entertaining and has a killer soundtrack, which includes music from NIN, Marilyn Manson, and David Bowie.

You can watch it on Netflix, Amazon, Amazon Prime, Blockbuster, and Daily Motion. 

4.  The Attic (2008) - After her family moves into a new house, Emma starts to see visions of her dead twin sister. For her, the attic of her Victorian house may deliver the answer to her questions, but when she starts going up there, she starts getting all crazy.

You can watch it free below!

The Garden

Sam (Adam Taylor Gordon) is a young boy with big problems: He has bad dreams, he cuts himself, and he's just been released from a mental hospital. But when he and his recovering alcoholic father (Brian Wimmer) are forced to stay on a ranch owned by the mysterious Ben Zachary (Lance Henriksen of ALIENS), Sam's nightmares become all too real. On this placid land, the dead walk, evil is alive, and a terrifying prophecy may unleash the final apocalypse. As the suffering of the innocent takes root, will the taste of temptation lead Sam to the most shocking act of all? 

Darn, I thought that said Lars Frederiksen.  I was all excited.  I have a picture of Lars.  I snapped it as he was walking off stage drinking a bottle of water.  Lars...oh how I love thee...in a nonsexual way, though...I'd hit that on principle, though. 

Troll 2

 Troll's pretty good, and Troll 2 isn't bad either.  Just think Leprechaun, but a little more twisted, and not as obsessed with gold.  The Leprechaun didn't really mess with kids either, so I guess the Troll is just mean!  But hey, who said trolls were nice???

This handsome fellow is Robert Blake.  He plays the mystery man in Lost Highway.  He was accused of killing his estranged wife back in 2001.  He was tried and acquitted, but lost in the wrongful death suit in 2005.  So, we can say he looks like a murderer, but he isn't one in the eyes of the law.

He is a wrongful death tortfeasor!!!!

T O R T F E A S O R

TORTFEASOR -   A PERSON WHO COMMITS A "CIVIL WRONG", NOT NECESSARILY AN ILLEGAL ACT...

YOU EFFING TORTFEASOR!!!

Tortfeasor is a wicked good word, but a MALFEASOR IS WAY BETTER!  MALFEASORS COMMIT WRONGFUL ACTS, BUT THEIR WRONGFUL ACTS ARE, IN FACT, ILLEGAL.

YOU EFFING MALFEASOR!!!!

I always wanted to use both words in a sentence, and do every time I get a chance.  I know, I'm insane!  However, I am not a TORTFEASOR OR A MALFEASOR!

That's all I really got, guys.  I saw Lost Highway on Hulu, but there were only clips.  I am bummed.  I still don't get that movie, but I did enjoy watching the shiz out of it for like months once.  I like when that handsome creature of  a guy at the costume party with the vampire costume on tells Bill Pullman he's at his house right now and to call him.  Bill calls him and he answer's Bill's phone and they are not at Bill's house, classic!

 Bill Pullman is an underrated actor.  How many movies has Bill starred in, and he gets no play.  Who talks about what a super actor Bill is.  Why does Bill always look confused?  This is probably why!  Bill, we salute you!  I would not hit that on principal, even, though.
