(HORROR) Would you Rather - 2012 ****

'Would you Rather' is a film that seems to have slipped under the radar when it comes to up and coming horror movies.
It is definitely worth a watch though.
It's one of those films that makes you hurt all over, a nightmare of epic proportions.
Iris accepts an invitation to a strange dinner party, on the provision that she takes part in a game of "would you rather". If she wins the game she will be given the money that is desperately needed to help her sick brother.
Once she realises the sort of game she and the other contestants are playing she wants out fast, but there is only one way she is allowed to leave, with a bullet in her head.
Films like these in my opinion are usually the strongest contenders for horror, they prey on any normal human beings worst fears and choices and present them to us on a massive screen where we cannot escape.
Watch this.

(HORROR) Silent Night, Deadly Night - 1984 *** 1/2

Oh yes, it was cheesy, it was camp, but I was scared!
After witnessing his parents brutal slaying by a maniac in a Santa costume, a young boy named Billy is sent to an orphanage. Here, he grows to intensely dislike the Mother Superior, and relishes the chance to get out once he turns 18 and earn some money.
By chance, he gets a job in a local toy factory and does very well, even developing feelings for one of the girls who works there. However it all changes when, at the last minute, his boss asks him to step in and cover the shop's Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, which brings back all the horror Billy experienced years ago. He flips, and begins a massacre of his own.
I liked it, I couldn't stop watching it, and I'd like to see the sequel.
