4/5...aint bad?

A follow up from my previous post. 4 actors which include Caitlin Horton, Ryan Meyers, Corey Cohen and myself have so far agreed to come back to the movie and make it happen. At the current time, we are unsure if Thando Bhebe is going to return. The movie may have some characters cut as well as scene cuts but I don't really care...I am just happy that this long awaited movie is back in action.

Stay Tuned....more information to come your way. \

Who would have thought? But can it be done this time?

To think, the anticipated movie that myself, Ryan, Corey and Thando couldn't wait to make was supposed to be filmed a year ago. Now, Jojo Meys...a very skillful special effects co-ordinator has offered her help to make the movie. She loved the original plot and script of the movie in which we named Slasher.

Now, after a series of texts between myself and the cast, Slasher may be back in production and to be filmed this summer...making it a postpone of a full year.

But after all the previous drama's of filming just a few short scenes at the start of the year, can it be done this time? Don't raise your hopes just yet...but Slasher may not have died and been buried last summer and could very well be in production this summer. I will keep you updated.

P.S "Just a thanks to Jojo Meys for offering up her time to maybe help us complete the movie in which we all worked so hard on. Thanks"

Scary Movie 5! Paranormal Activity 5! Wrong Turn 5! Scream 5?!?

5! 5! 5! 5! and 5? It seems that massive franchises are all heading to their fifth instalments. But are they needed...necessary or just dragging out the storyline too much? Are they becoming overused so much that they are becoming cliché's. It depends on the franchise in my opinion. Some franchises like Saw and Chucky (which is currently filming a sixth instalment) make the fifth movie quite well...and it's different to the originals...it's fresh and new. It feels like a new movie just with a similar storyline.

Scary Movie 5, obviously this franchise has no limits on how many it can make...why? Because there is a complete new storyline (spoofs of horrors/thrillers) in every movie. But can this movie coming out seven years after Scary Movie 4 and thirteen years after the original Scary Movie really work without Anna Farris and Regina Hall...central characters of previous films. This is the first film in the franchise that doesn't have the characters Cindy Campbell (Anna) and Brenda Meeks (Regina). Can it work? Now, it stars Lindsay Lohan, Ashley Tisdale and Charlie Sheen which did star in the 3rd film. The major spoof of Scary Movie 5 is Paranormal Activity and Black Swan. Will this fifth franchise work without the fan favourites?

Paranormal Activity 4 was just released a few months ago and already the fifth instalment has a release date. Most critics believe that one was enough so why a fifth? It's because they keep raking in all the money. the fifth franchise plot is kept under wraps and it is not known whether past actors/actresses will return to the franchise.

Wrong Turn 5...a bunch of college students getting stalked by a killer....killers I should say...now that is a massive cliché...but what I didn't tell you...that the killers are cannibals. This makes a cliché not a cliché. But with the fifth film...are they just over using it. With only 4 stars out of 10 on imdb....was this the last and final one? Probably not....because everyone keeps believing this one will be better....so they pay to watch it.

Now on a bright note...a movie franchise which I have been begging to continue is currently being buzzed around on twitter by mastermind of horror and director of the other four films, Wes Craven....that's right... i'm  talking about Scream 5. Sidney's story may not be over...and ghostface's killing rage isn't either. With all the trio, Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette all showing interest and with Wes Craven posting tweets about Scream 5, is Scream 5 finally going to happen? Millions of fans want this film to happen. Scream is one of those franchises that can't feel clichéd...why? Because unlike other franchises, every new movie doesn't feel like a sequel but a new movie...yes the storyline is continued but it's that rare feeling that doesn't happen often. Scream 5 and even Scream 6 (we were originally promised a new trilogy starting from Scream 4) hopefully does happen...it would be a great thing too see happen. But do fans want to risk it? If Scream 5 were to happen, one of the main trio (Neve, Courtney and David) are certain to die according to Wes. We could be saying goodbye to the fan favourites Sidney, Gale and Dewey in which survived the other four films. 

#5 in the movie industry all coming at once. What's your opinion? Do you think they are overusing them or that they a needed to finish the story line?

Paranormal Activity 4

 The anticipation of yet another Paranormal Activity didn't let down. In my oppinion....the best of the franchise. It had it's usual chills, pop-outs and screamers but we actually learnt about the where-abouts of Katie (All paranormal activities) and Hunter (parts of 2 & 4).


 Paranormal Activity 4 doesn't focus on the family as it did with the other 3 movies, but was led with a complete new cast as "The Neighbours." Yes....this sounds like a major cliche with horrors but it was completley original judging by the franchise it was used in.

The story takes place in 2011, five years after Katie killed her boyfriend Micah, sister Kristi, her husband Daniel and took their baby, Hunter.
This time round, the story focuses on Alex (Kathryn Newton), a blonde teenanger who with a little help from her boyfriend Ben (Matt Shively)...records all night to see any parnaormal events happenening. She notes that all these things started happening when the neighbours moved in. Ben suggests that he can set up laptops around the house to record everything. Over the next couple of days, strange occurrences happen around the house, such as Robbie waking up in the middle of the night and talking to the TV, Robbie and Wyatt running around the house in the early hours of the morning chasing a silhouette of a small child figure. Robbie draws a strange symbol on Wyatt's back, which Alex later finds to be part of an old cult which first appeared in Paranormal Activity 3. Some more of the unexplanable ones are Alex levitating while sleeping and the car driving itself out of the garrage with Alex stuck inside.

The final minutes of Paranormal Activity freak people out but I won't spoil too much but be warned...all the parnaormal events throughout the movie lead up into a massive event at the end of the movie....like the other 3...ending it with a viscious....murder and cliffhanger leading off into a possible fifth installement.


My personal rating out of 10 would be an 8 but if they classify it as a horror the score will drastically change...and not for the better. It's more of a thriller with a few scary moments.

Close friend Thando saw the movie the other day along with myself and Ryan, another close friend and was completely petrified. She couldn't walk into the darkness alone. She was scared big time and feared while even watching. By the near end...she was on the floor watching it through the cracks between the seats. She was horrified.

A great movie and the best of the franchise. Consider watching it...if you dare...BE WARNED!!!!!
