Dante’s Inferno Game (PS3)
Posted by admin in Movies, TV and games
Let’s step away from movies for a minute, and talk about an excellent horror game. I bought this on PS3 last week, and all I can say from the moment I put the game in, was “WOW”. I got hooked on this fantastic horror game and couldn’t put the remote down. This game was extremely well made and the graphics were excellent, from the demons, to the backgrounds. The game was full of demons, monsters and other crazy evil spirits.
It’s about an Italian Mercenary named Dante that tries to get the soul of his loved one, Beatrice. She was pulled into hell by an evil force and Dante must go through the 9 circles of hell to get her back. Dante uses a cross for his holy powers and a scythe for his violent unholy powers. You get to chose to absolve and forgive the sins or punish them, allowing you to you build up Dante’s unholy or holy meter to unlock different upgrades to his weapons, moves and spells.
The backgrounds in this game are simply amazing. Each circle of hell becomes more interesting and giving you the chance to fight against more evil demons along the way. But the graphics are extremely well done and made this game worth the money.
The background soundtrack is also good and sets an eerie mood to the game.
Dante doesn’t talk much, when he does; it’s usually to the spirit guiding him or certain demons. However it sometimes sounds like he says the same thing each time. “Who has passed this circle?” etc.etc. If you play the game, you will start to see it as well. However, that’s not to bash the game, because the rest is well worth it.
If you are a horror fan, I highly, strongly recommend that you get this game. Play on easy difficulty if you need to, guaranteed you will enjoy this game!
Paranormal Activity Review
Posted by admin in Movie Reviews, Movies, TV and games
Rating 6.5/10
Paranormal Activity stars Katie Featherson as Katie and Micah Sloat as Micah, as a couple that had just moved into a suburban home. Katie believes there is something that had always haunted her and follows her. Therefore, Micah gets a video camera to tape themselves and their home to try and catch this paranormal activity on tape. On the first couple of nights, you see that the paranormal object/ghost/demon has followed her into their new home. They then bring in a psychic, in which he believes it’s a demon and not a ghost. He recommends them not to try and communicate with it or the haunting may get worse. Eventually the demon gets aggravated with whatever it wants, making the paranormal occurrences to get worse. The movie does have some memorable scenes, and does build up to a suspenseful ending.
Now, I purchased this on Blu Ray, and it came with an alternate ending version. I watched the original one first and then the second version. However, I do believe the original ending was the better one. Either way, it did have a suspenseful ending.
Well after viewing the film. Crypt of Gore doesn’t think it meets up to the hype that others made it up to be when it first came out. Sure it does have its moments, but I am also sure there are other terrifying and suspenseful movies out there. However, the movie wasn’t bad, don’t get me wrong. The acting was excellent as well. The movie starts to get better when it builds up during the middle of the film all the way to the end. This is when the paranormal activity occurs more. However, nothing too over the top. I think the reason was to make it to be as if it had actually happened and basically trying to make it more believable.
In conclusion, I didn’t think it build up to the hype as everyone has been talking about when the movie first came out. Nonetheless, it was still a good horror movie, and did have a couple of good memorable scenes. So… Crypt of Gore, still recommends this movie to the horror fans out there.
End of the Line (2007) Review
Posted by admin in Movie Reviews
Movie Rating 5.5/10
Gore Rating 2.5/5
Okay, just finished viewing End of the Line. Interesting film but just an acceptable horror movie, nothing special. Now, I also bought this movie at Blockbuster for 6 bucks. It was worth the six bucks. But I wouldn’t go all out for this movie. If you can get it for cheap, then check it out. But I will say it’s not for all the horror fans out there.
End of the Line does grab your attention at the beginning. The first 5 minutes of viewing the film, I had figured, this should turn out to be a good horror film. But after that, it started to be just an okay movie. The plot wasn’t bad, but the cult gang to me was just getting somewhat annoying at times. It can get confusing at first between the demons and the cult as well, but at the end, you start to understand better. The acting was satisfactory, nothing special.
Basically the movie is a subway train that gets stuck at the end of the night in the tunnel. There is a small bunch of people on there and some subway employees that try to escape, then there are the supernatural forces and religious cult members that start to go after them. It’s basically Armageddon, and the cult members are killing off people as they believe it will save them.
The film stars Ilona Elkin, Nicolas Wright, Tim Rozen, Nina Fillis and some others. Again, Crypt of Gore recommends that you pick it up for cheap or rent it first. There are a couple of good gory scenes as well as a creepy ending that will stick with you.
Laid To Rest Review
Posted by admin in Movie Reviews, Movies, TV and games
Rating 7.5/10
Gore rating 4/5
Laid to Rest is one great horror movie that’s full of excellent gory kill scenes. I picked the movie up at Blockbuster for $6.99 previously viewed. I had my doubts going into this film since I hadn’t heard much of it before. However, once I viewed it, I was amazed at some of the scenes! Laid to rest has an okay story line, but Crypt of Gore, enjoys it because of the gore.
Laid to Rest stars Bobbi Sue Luther, Kevin Gage, Lena Headey, Sean Whalen, and Nick Principe. The film is basically about a girl who wakes up in a casket and can’t remember much due to a head injury. She escapes the maniac who wears a Chrome Skull mask, and goes by the name Chrome Skull. As she tries to find a safe place and get help, the more people she comes in contact with, eventually dies off by Chrome Skull. The Girl attempts to run away after escaping the coffin and then gets picked up by Tucker, in which he brings her to his home to help her out. Chrome Skull still finds her. They then go to a neighbour’s house to find a phone, as Tucker’s phone service had been cut off. The neighbour, Steven, played by Sean Whalen answers the door, where they find out he doesn’t have a phone service either, but he does have a computer, where they try to find out more about the maniac, Chrome Skull. After that, they drive to the police station to find the sheriff. The story continues on, as they try to get away from Chrome Skull, but he keeps catching up to them. That’s pretty much it for the story line and I don’t want to giveaway some good moments in the movie, it’s a pretty basic and bland plot for a horror film. Where there’s a maniac going after a girl. But we still think it’s a good slasher flick that is worth checking out.
Laid To Rest has some memorable gory moments in the film. The acting wasn’t bad, but the story line does lack somewhat. However, like what was stated, it does make up for it in the gory kill scenes. No giveaways but I am sure you will never look at spare tire filler the same way after that one scene!
In Conclusion, Crypt of Gore highly recommends horror fans to buy this movie. Don’t settle for renting it, just go ahead and pick it up, you won’t regret it!
Pet Sematary
Posted by admin in Movie Reviews
Dr. Louis Creed moves into a new home with his wife and two children, the house seems to be a dream house, except from the dangerous trucks roaring past and the spooky cemetery behind the house. When the family cat is unfortunately run down and killed by one of the speeding trucks a neighbour Jud approaches Creed and tells him the secret of the cemetery. He is told that if he buries the cat there, it will rise again! Creed does this as not to upset his young daughter and sure as fate the cat rises from the dead.
An unfortunate accident happens and Creeds son is killed, the heartache is too much for Creed to take and he buries his son in the cemetery even though he was told of the dangers of doing it. Creed’s son rises from the dead and everything seems fine that is until his son starts to kill people. Now Creed must stop his son before he kills again.
Pet Sematary is another movie adapted from the great horror novelist Stephen King’s book of the same name. Stephen King actually wrote the screenplay for this movie and to be honest you can tell, King has a way with words that just seem to flow. As for the director (Mary Lambert), Lambert has made a good book into a great and eerie movie. Lambert has great skills in cinematography that are noticeable better than most horror movie directors, instead of relying on the story to be scary Lambert used great camera shots and amazing direction to create a terrific movie. I personally saw this movie when I was around 13 and I didn’t sleep for a few days later! I have seen it lately also and its really amazing how the movie stands up against the movies of today and how it surpasses some of them in terms of the actual story.
From me I would give this movie a good thumbs up!
The Haunting in Connecticut
Posted by admin in Movie Reviews
The Haunting in Connecticut is based on a true story, which has been adapted for “Hollywood”. The movie starts with a young teenager Matt Campbell, being treated for cancer and having to travel miles to and from the hospital where he is getting and experimental treatment, his mother sees how much pain that he is going through on a trip home and decides to rent a place nearer the hospital, the rest of the family move into the house as well. Matt chooses his bedroom to be in the basement and from the first night he sees strange things such as shadows and hears strange noises. He manages to gain access to a previously locked room in the basement which shows the family that the house used to be a funeral home. As the movie progresses, stranger things happen and it all adds up to an explosive ending.
Peter Cornwell is a relatively unknown director but if his first major large budget horror movie is anything to go by then he will be successful. Cornwell created a truly scary film which scares not just the normal cinema-goer but a segment of those true horror fans. The film just seems to stand out and the story doesn’t add up, we always think that something is away to jump out, which is the sign of a good horror. Not only is this a horror, but it shows a family going through the torment cancer, there are some real lump in throat moments when we see Matt’s parents worried for his life when they are told he will die soon. The special effects are great, from Ectoplasm to corpses. Cornwell has really made a classic movie in the same class as Amityville Horror, in many ways the movies are similar but in my honest opinion I would prefer to watch The Haunting in Connecticut
This is truly a great horror and I would recommend this to any horror fan that is in the mood of a haunting or any paranormal fan that like a good haunted house film.
