Halloween 2019 Challenge

My first time watching The Ring crosses another one of the highest profile horror movies I haven't seen off the list. And I really enjoyed this film!

I thought the color grading and the cinematography really looked amazing. Gore Verbinski did a great job directing the film. I just loved the dread-inspiring look to the film, as well as it being set in the Pacific Northwest. More movies should be set here in the PNW! Naomi Watts…

Just got back from the movie theater and this was intense. Wow. Don't Breathe is a film that easily lives up to the positive buzz and the hype, it is a masterclass in suspense and atmosphere.

Fede Alvarez's effectively tense and horrifying direction adds to the terrifying performance of Stephen Lang as the blind man who fights back against a trio of young adults who break into his home in search of some cash to make a better life for…
