Incessant Expressions

Today is our last day of movies for Horrorfest and we’re only seeing two movies: Nightmare Man and Tooth & Nails.

We saw Mulberry Street and Lake Dead. The latter was just a boring incest/slasher flick that I’ve seen before and it was MUCH better the last time I saw it, and it was called Blood Ranch (yes a different movie). Lake Dead was a nice attempt but frankly was very predictable and boring. Mulberry Street was the night favorite for both of us. It was a virus outbreak/infection movie with a psycho twist. The story wasn’t very thcik but given that the movie takes place over 2 days, there’s not a lot of time for plot development and deep character interaction. It was a more sci-fi movie than a real horror movie but it was much better than the other two we saw.

Mulberry Street did everything right for me from the homemade/hi-8 look down to the bad camera angles and a good twist on the outbreak genre. A number of people in the theatre said they didn’t like the movie and wanted a refund but these are the same people that walked in 45 minutes after the movie started and missed the entire set up. These same people walked right out and walked into IMAX Transformers and walked right out because they’re looking for movies they don’t want to pay for.

I’m looking forward to the last two movies and this year we’ll have seen 7 of the 8, with Unearthed being the only one we haven’t seen. That’s better than last year when we only saw 4 of the original 8 movies.

Can’t wait till we go to the theatre in an hour or so.
