Plot:
"Better than Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later" (beyondhollywood.com), The Zombie Diaries has been hailed as "the most realistic zombie film ever made" (twitchfilm.net). Set in England during a world-wide viral infection, this documentary-style frightfest records the rise of the undead from the videocams of several survivor groups. As each struggles against the flesh-eating hordes, an even more horrifying fate lurks among them.

My Thoughts:
This is the first time I ever seen this movie. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It is one of those "Found Footage" sub-genre movies. I know that these zombie movies has to start out a little slow with the zombie action. But I do wish this one had a little more towards the beginning of the movie. Other then that... not bad at all. It was a bit weird how they did it... moving from group to group.. and how much time past from the one to the other. But not so bad where it takes away from the movie. I think it is definitely worth checking out.

My Thoughts:
This is the first chance I got to check out this series. I went into this one expecting a teen drama... figuring it would be similar to the twilight movies and such. Which I was basically right.... but at least thankfully the vampires don't sparkle in the sunlight. I know I am only 5 episodes in... but so far while it isn't really a bad series I also ain't very impressed yet either. It is a little too much teen drama for my taste. Though the storyline is bringing me in a bit now. I do like the storyline of brother against brother. And I also like the idea of the rings keeping them safe in the sunlight. A much better solution then on Twilight in my opinion. I also like the addition of the witch storyline. At this point I would say I am interested in continuing the series... but really not sure just how much I will get into this one.

My Thoughts:
When I found this DVD for sale (got it for only $1.59) I thought I remembered seeing this movie years ago on cable and enjoying it. But then I looked up reviews for it online and read many very bad reviews for it. So I figured it wasn't the movie I remembered it to be. But I figured for the price I would go ahead and give it a go anyway... despite the bad reviews. After watching it I find that it is indeed the movie I was originally thinking. And I did still enjoy it. Not quite as much as I remembered... but enough that I am glad I now have it in my collection. I really enjoy the main storyline of the vampires now outnumbering the humans... basically taking over the world. On the bad side it is a l a pretty low budget film. So there is no recognizable names... and the whole thing is a bit on the amateurish side. The acting is questionable at times. And some of the dialog could use a little help at times as well. But over-all I found it to be a good...entertaining vampire movie.

Now... do I recommend this movie to others. I really don't know what to say on that. There is many movies that I enjoy every minute of... but I seem to be the only one who does. So the question remains... is this movie actually worth the time to put into it... and there is a lot of unfair reviews for it. Or is this one of the several that is just a bad movie that fits in with my tastes and I am one of the few that finds it to be good? So I guess I would say take this review with a grain of salt. If you get the chance to watch it free (or very cheap) consider giving it a chance. But don't go into it expecting much.

My Thoughts:
This movie is one that is part of a horror collection. 4 movies on 1 disc that I recently got for this marathon. Unfortunately this movie didn't impress me at all. Hopefully I will like at least one of the other three movies on this disc to make it worth the purchase. At least this DVD only cost me 99¢ for the entire four movies. So I can't complain too much either way I guess. But I just found the movie to be boring. The story failed to keep me the least bit interested. And I am not sure if they were trying to make a low budget werewolf movie or a low budget martial arts movie. As one of the young guys in this movie was a martial arts expert... living in a small town... and seems like him and his sister was the only Asian people in the town. Sister looked maybe half Asian and they lived with a god parent... not saying what happened to their parents. They really didn't show too clear of a shot of the werewolf (a couple decent shots towards end of movie). The effects weren't too bad for a low budget horror. But either way... Not recommended.. Don't waste your time with this one.

Extras:
Scene Access

My Thoughts:
This movie is another one that was on with that terrible Night Shadow. I went into it expecting the worst after that last movie. But only 10 minutes in I had already felt this movie was 3 times better than that last one. This one also has the added bonus that there is a couple familiar faces in it. First there is Charlie O'Connell (Jerry O'Connell's brother) who was in the fourth season of Sliders with his brother. Then there is Victoria Pratt who was one of the stars of the low budget Sci-Fi series Cleopatra 2525. I have to say... this is the first time I ever seen an opening title card done like it is in this movie... The Title Card says...

Deadly Water
A.K.A.: Kraken: Tentacles of the Deep

It is the first time I ever seen a title and an alternate title on the same title card in the opening of a movie. While the movie could have been better... I enjoyed this one. It definitely made the purchase of the DVD worth it. Thankfully... after that first movies I did have my concerns. Kraken is a Giant Squid... and he is shown clearly in many shots through-out the movie. There is some decent killings and a story that was able to keep my attention through-out. I would say it is worth checking out. But it isn't something I would put much money to seeing. If you can find it cheap cool. If you can catch it on cable for free... even better.

My Thoughts:
This is another movie I heard nothing but bad things about. So I went into it with very low expectations. After watching it I found I enjoyed it. It is definitely the worst of the George A. Romero zombie movies... but I feel it is still a good zombie movie. When I review a movie I try not to compare it to any other movie. Just review it as a stand alone movie. Though I admit that is easier said then done sometimes. There is definitely some things here I liked and some things I didn't. But when it comes down to it... I liked more about it then I disliked. So Over-all I am glad I added it to my collection. And even happier that I was able to do so for only 99¢.

My Thoughts:
I was searching the net for best Halloween TV Episodes... and this episode came up on several lists.... even though Halloween isn't mentioned at all in the episode. But it did originally air Oct. 27th of '72... and the subject matter fits. So I decided to go ahead and watch it. It is a fun episode. I enjoyed watching they play all the jokes trying to scare each other. Even though this was never a favorite show of mine growing up... this was always one of my favorite episodes.

My Thoughts:
I have all the episodes of this syndicated Superboy series on old recordings... which I am now in the process of converting to DVD. Unfortunately that means bad quality... but at least I can watch them again until such time they decide to release the rest of the series. This second season episode...while not mentioning Halloween... originally aired October 28th of '89... and the subject matter certainly fits. I enjoyed watching this episode again after so many years. It mixes two of my favorite genres as it has both superhero and vampires. There is also a few more episodes from this series that will fit in this marathon. I just haven't gotten them converted to DVD yet so I can watch them again.

Felt like watching some early episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer next. I haven't watched any episodes in quite a while. So was good to watch some today. Seemed a little weird as the cast looked so young. My favorite episodes on this disc has to be the 2-part pilot. Least favorite being Teacher's Pet. But all was good. I probably won't continue and watch all the episodes... but I am sure I will at least watch the Halloween episodes before the month is over.

Plot:
From the man who introduced us to Jack Nicholson, Francis Ford Coppola, Jonathan Demme and Martin Scorsese...
Shout! Factory is proud to present new collector's editions of Roger Corman's most loved productions.

Joe Dante's cult classic PIRANHA is back in a new collector's edition with new special features!

While Searching for missing teenagers, novice skip tracer Maggie McKeown (Heather Menzies) and local town boozer Paul Grogan (Bradford Dillman) stumble upon a top-secret Army laboratory conducting genetic research on piranha fish for the purpose of developing biological warfare.

Just when you thought it was safe to go in the river...

My Thoughts:
I have watched a lot of horrors from the late '70s and the '80s.... but somehow I have never seen this one until today. Which is a surprise to me... but at least I got to enjoy it today. And I really did enjoy this one. Probably one of the best ones I watched so far during this marathon. The movie has plenty of blood... as well as plenty shots of people trying to escape... showing lots of shots of eaten away flesh on their bodies. Watching this movie you can't help but to think of the movie Jaws which was released 3 years earlier. So I thought it was cool that the very first time we see Heather Menzies' character she is playing an old Jaws video game. Barbara Steele's role in the movie was rather short. So that seemed to be a bit of a waste. But other then that... I loved every minute of this one! After watching this one... I feel like I could start it right back up and watch it again... that says a lot to me. So I think I can Highly Recommend this one!

My Thoughts:
This DVD has a collection of 7 Halloween episodes of Roseanne. The Halloween episodes has always been my favorite episodes of this series. So much so that I wouldn't even beginning to know how to pick a favorite episode on this disc. I can however say that the final episode on this disc is my least favorite. I personally think they really dropped the ball on that episode. Despite that last episode I really enjoyed re-watching this disc.

I hope you don't mind me posting some that I watch...Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and while I don't watch near as much or as much pure horror, I do enjoy Halloween shows. Let me know if you mind and I'll delete the post!

I've watched so far:

Scared Shrekless
Halloween is Shrek's favorite holiday - but instead of the usual tricks or treats, Shrek ups the ante and challenges the gang to spend the night telling scary stories. The last one to be scared Shrekless wins.
4/5
Haven't watched this one before, but it was originally aired on TV about a year or so ago. I enjoyed seeing where they adapted the stories to the Shrek world and especially liked the last story based on the Exorcist, I believe, with Pinocchio. Just a fun Halloween tale.

Monsters vs Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space
Susan, B.O.B., The Missing Link, and Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D., are back as special operatives dispatched to investigate a mysterious alien presence on Halloween. As the night unravels the innocent-looking pumpkins are revealed for what they really are - mutant aliens! Luckily the monsters are there to smash the mutants' wicked scheme to take over Earth.
3.5/5
I've never watched the movie, but since this came with Scared Shrekless, I decided to give it a shot. I enjoyed the story and the characters and would watch again.

Halloweentown
Join Marnie (Kimberly J. Brown) and her grandmother Aggie (Debbie Reynolds) as they stir up a cauldron full of comedy and adventure in two Disney Channel Classics – Halloweentown and Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge.

On her 13th birthday, Marnie learns she's a witch, discovers a secret portal and is transported to Halloweentown – a magical place where ghosts and ghouls, witches and werewolves live apart from the human world. But she soon finds herself battling wicked warlocks, evil curses and endless surprises.
3.5/5
I've watched this many times over the years and have always enjoyed it in all its Disney cheesy goodness. As a Disney movie, no big scares but with Debbie Reynolds playing Aggie, the grandmother, it's a fun one to watch around this time of year. I made my mom watch with me tonight and even she enjoyed it.

Halloweentown: Kalabar's Revenge
3.5/5
I actually enjoy this one just as much as the first, though mom slept through most of this one. As a sequel, it does follow the first one quite closely. Basically, the son of the defeated warlock of the first movie, targets the Cromwell witches to get revenge on them for defeating his dad. My favorite parts are the ones where Marnie is in Halloweentown and are trying to break the Grey spell. One of my favorite actors, Peter Wingfield, (probably most known as Methos from Highlander) makes a guest appearance here as well.

My Thoughts:
What with season 2 starting this Sunday night I decided to watch all the episodes of Season 1 today. This is a very good zombie series. It holds up well for multiple viewings. Sure there is some episodes better then others... but I really enjoyed re-watching this entire series. Watching this set today made it so I can't wait for the season 2 premier. For a show that airs on basic cable... this series does not shy away from the blood, guts & violence... to the point of surprising me a bit on how far they went. Not a complaint mind you... but a pleasant surprise. If you haven't had the opportunity to see this Zombie Series... it is one that I highly recommend!
