MOVIE REVIEW

“If you’re expecting a special effects demo reel in the form of a film, you will probably be disappointed (though there is a sufficient amount of gore, and some great effects along with it - faces being pulled off, eyes falling out, etc). This ain’t a “splatter” zombie film. It’s merely a good one.” Read more …

Jessica Alba Imitates Famous Horror Movie Scenes For Latina Magazine (07 HQ Pics)

Horror films are movies that strive to elicit fear, horror and terror responses from viewers. In the plots of such films themes of the supernatural colliding with our world are very common.

Otherwise the theme can be completely “supernatural” without any trace whatsoever of reality.

Horror movies usually include a central villain. Early horror are largely based on classic literature of the gothic/ horror genre, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Phantom of the Opera and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Later horror films, in contrast, often drew inspiration from the insecurities of life after World War II, giving rise to the three distinct, but related, sub-genres: the horror-of-personality Psycho film, the horror-of-armageddon Invasion of the Bodysnatchers film, and the horror-of-the-demonic Hellraiser film.

The last sub-genre may be seen as a modernized transition from the earliest horror films, expanding on their emphasis on supernatural agents that bring horror to the world. Read more …

Shocking New! SETI Astronomer: We Will Discover Extraterrestrials By 2025

“Senior Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) astronomer Seth Shostak last night boldly claimed that mankind would certainly detect intelligent alien life by 2025, assuming the right technology is in place to probe 500 light years into space where there are doubtless thousands of ET radio stations transmitting into the ether.

Speaking at an event in San Francisco, Shostak declared: ‘We’ll find ET within two dozen years.’”
The Register

There are thousands of true believers who claim to have already made contact with alien beings, these ” UFO abductees” tales are fascinating but they don’t offer a shred of evidence. If abductees would only steal an ashtray, a towel or a pen from a flying saucer I might take them more seriously. Read more …
