Let Me Die Quietly (2011) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, let me say that I am not really one for low budget independent films, as they tend to disappoint heavily in both story content and acting ability, but being familiar with Charles Casillo's books I threw caution to the wind and decided to give Let Me Die Quietly a shot. I was completely blown away! The film is a well-crafted, phenomenally acted little thriller that builds slowly with each little plot twist and turn until the final shocking moments. Even in big budget Hollywood films, you would be hard-pressed nowadays to find a film with a shred of an original plot device, but Casillo manages to take a genre that has been done to death and injects a ton of originality into this thriller. Kudos to Casillo for a stellar script and storyline that held my interest throughout, as well as for his spectacular, haunting performance as Mario. Dana Perry is also outstanding as Gabrielle. There were several plot twists that I did not see coming at all - I won't give them away here - but for a debut independent film I was extremely impressed by the acting, the writing and the overall production values of everyone involved. I am so glad I took a chance and bought a copy and didn't go the usual route and do the rental thing!

The Entity (1983) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a huge fan of 70's horror movies, and am always searching for some new treasure. This movie is even more frightening than normal when you consider that it is based on a true story. It shook me quite a bit when I first saw it. Be warned that some scenes are very sexual in nature and disturbing. It's not gratutious sex like most bad "horror" flicks today. The movie depicts a woman who moves into a new house with her two children and after some time begins to be attacked by an unseen entity. She is left raped and bruised and thinking she's going out of her mind. The rape scenes are very tastefully done, but are hard to watch when you think that this supposedly really happened. It is not a movie for children. As an adult, I had to sleep with the lights on after the movie and really had a hard time being alone for a few days. This is not a blood-letting fest, it's not a teen sex/slasher film, and it's not a dark assylum like setting. It's a film that is at the top of my list of all time favorite truely scary, "can't go the bathroom alone" kind of movies.
By the way, if you liked this movie then you should try to get your hands on a made for TV movie called "Don't be afraid of the Dark". It scared me to death as a child, so much so that I remembered the name all these 20 some years. When I finally saw it again as an adult, it was still pretty creepy and worth the search.
