<b>"The Black Gloves" (2017)</b> (aka "The Owlman 2" for streaming release) is the newest film by the team at Hex Media which includes director Lawrie Brewster and writer Sarah Daly. This is the second film to feature their creepy, scary Owlman who was also prominent in "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2367066/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_1" target="_blank">Lord of Tears</a>" (aka "The Owlman"). The filmmakers have created a whole mythology around the Owlman with its roots in the folklore and old religions of the Scottish highlands. This movie takes place and is styled after the film noir movies of that period and is even filmed in black and white, which adds to the atmosphere of the film. The film is a wonderful mash up of genres: film noir, psychological thriller, gothic and atmospheric horror.</div>

The film stars <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4105541?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm">Jamie Scott Gordon</a> as Finn Galloway, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1296762?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm">Macarena Gómez</a> as Lorena Velasco, and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2387853/?ref_=tt_cl_t3" target="_blank">Alexandra Nicole Hulme</a> as Elisa Grey.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finn Galloway is psychologist recovering from the recent loss of a young patient of his who had been haunted by an owlman creature she sketched. To help with his grief, he begins an investigation to discover the truth behind this mythical creature. The investigation leads him to an imposing mansion at the isolated Baldurrock Estate in the Scottish highlands where a once famous ballerina, Elisa Grey is living in seclusion and silence with her very intense ballerina teacher, Lorena Velasco. </div>

<div>
Finn Galloway tries to convince the women that he can help bring Elisa out of her long, silent, fugue-like state by conducting counseling sessions with her. Elisa is a fragile and lost soul after a fall from fame and other horrors she has experienced at the house. Her ever watchful and very intense ballet teacher, Lorena, is a task master that demands nothing but the best from the fragile ballerina with hopes Elena will return to stage to perform her legendary performance as the Black Swan. Lorena herself is a former ballet star who faced an injury that prevented her from pursuing her destiny so she keeps pushing Elena so she can vicariously live through any future glories of her student. The codependency of the two women is extreme with Lorena the strict mother figure and Elena the helpless child. Can Dr. Galloway figure out the puzzle of Baldurrock, the Owlman, Moloch the ancient god, the controlling and overbearing teacher and the ethereal but wounded figure who is Elisa?</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Macarena Gómez who plays the wonderfully over the top and sinister teacher is a Spanish actress whose looks, gestures and speech all fit beautifully into the film noir experience the filmmakers have created. The beautiful and talented, Alexandra Nicole Hulme does a superb job playing the broken ballerina, Elisa, who does what she can to reach out to the visiting psychologist for help from the horror she is trapped in. Jamie Scott Gordon is commanding as Dr. Galloway who is working through his grief and wants to help the young woman but has his own controlling nature and tragic life experiences to deal with.</div>

Director Lawrie Brewster, writer Sarah Daly and their team of filmmakers provide us with a film you can really enjoy. The filmmakers excel at the cinematography. The rocking motion of the camera during the dream and/or reality sequences adds to the intense turmoil and tension on the screen very effectively. The filmmakers painstakingly created a film like that from the 1940s, very effectively using black and white film while mastering the use of shadows, reflections, sinister silhouettes and candlelight that makes this film so memorable. The Victorian looking Owlman with its long fingers and tall figure, is a very sinister creature you wouldn't want to run across in the woods or lurking around the corner of the hall. Whenever we see the Owlman onscreen it is a startlingly creepy experience.</div>

<div>
Will the lengths that Elisa goes through trying to survive her experiences at Baldurrock with the Owlman, Lorena and Dr. Galloway, give her the strength to find herself and to live for another day?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I really enjoyed this horror noir film and highly recommend you immerse yourself into the dark, moody, contemplative and psychologically complex experience that is "The Black Gloves".</div>

<o:p><br /></o:p>So starts his
journey unraveling the puzzle that is the sanitarium and its powerful
residents. There’s the facility’s Director Volmer (Isaacs) who doesn’t want
anything to set back the treatment of his patients. There’s a young woman,
Hannah (Goth), who says she’s a special case and is under the guardianship of
Volmer. There’s patient Victoria Watkins (Imrie) who likes to solve puzzles
and is digging deeper than she should into the dark history of the
institution. There's the "vitamins" everyone takes from blue bottles. And last but definitely not least is the Sanitarium itself, a
gothic castle framed by the mountains of the alps – full of majestic beauty
and wellness of its famed healing waters on the outside but masking a dark
reality of its many treatment rooms and wings and even darker creatures in
the aquifers.<br /><o:p> </o:p></div>

<br />
Widowed mom Amelia (Essie Davis) is trying to keep up with the demands of life - working and being a single mom to a very precocious son, Samuel (Noah Wiseman). Her husband died taking her to the hospital when her son was born seven years earlier. She is still working through the grief of losing him. Samuel is quite a handful, getting kicked out of school, causing problems with his cousin and making life very difficult for his mom. <br />

<br />
One night Samuel picks out the nightly storybook to read together before bed. It is titled "The Babadook" and is a scary popup book about a shadowy creature that is trying to get in and terrorize the family in the book. As Amelia reads it, she quickly sees it escalate into violence between the mother and the son and immediately hides then tries to destroy the book.<br />
However, being a special book, it is returned to them and the Babadook monster, first only seen by Samuel, continues to intrude deeper into their lives. Soon Amelia, and the viewer, doesn't know what is reality or what is within the characters' minds. <br />

<br />
<br />
"The Babadook" is a very effective psychological thriller and horror story. It creates a menacing and oppressive atmosphere as the mother and son become isolated from the world around them as they try to deal with this monster that may or may not be only in their minds. The cinematography, music, eerie sound effects and great acting by Essie Davis contribute to an enjoyable horror film that will send chills down your spine. <br />

<br />
After a divorce, Sarah (Shue) moves her daughter Elissa (Lawrence) to a small town where the only house they can afford is next door to a house where years earlier the mother and father were killed by their daughter, Carrie Ann. Local lore has it that Carrie Anne got away and is living the the woods nearby. Carrie Ann's brother, Ryan, was away at boarding school during the murders and he has moved back into the home much to the dismay of the neighbors. <br />
<br />

<br />
Of course Elissa meets Ryan and they hit it off even though Sarah would rather she stay away from him. Little does anyone know, Ryan has a secret - he has sheltered his crazy sister in a hidden room in the house all these years and she is always trying to escape! Will Elissa get too close to Ryan and his secrets for her own good?<br />
<br />
Jennnifer Lawrence ("Hunger Games") plays an unhappy teen well and Max Thieriot ("Bate's Motel", "Nancy Drew") is great as the mysterious neighbor. This was a pretty good horror thriller that keeps you guessing and has some unexpected twists and turns.<br />

Kenneth Magee (Arnaz), an American writer places a $20,000 bet that he can write a novel in one night. In order to concentrate and get in the mood, he goes to an old mansion without electricity to write the novel. It is supposed to be deserted but soon after his arrival in the dusty old house, other people start arriving. Who are the assorted characters that keep coming out of the stormy night? And who else has been hidden away in the house for the last 40 years? <br />

<br />
A somewhat fun comedy / horror story that brings out all the classic horror tropes: candlelit walks through a dark, scary house, thunder and lightning, secret passageways and creepy characters. Classic horror stars Price, Lee and Cushing join in the fun and even though not a spectacular movie, it may just be worth it to you to see these horror greats all together in one film.<br />

A diverse group of folks are vacationing in Northern California and are taking helicopters up into the mountains for a week long guided hike. Unfortunately the group picks the day that the Earth's ozone layer has become so depleted that the sun's radiation is particularly strong above 5000 feet and the radiation causes all the animals to go crazy and start attacking the humans. <br />

Animals start killing off our hikers one by one and the group becomes fractured because of two camps of people, one led by the hikers, Paul Jenson (Leslie Neilsen in an off type role where he plays a bad guy) and the other led by the guide and local Native American (Ansara). Of course, not staying together is the worse thing they can do but who can make smart choices when all the animals are attacking and it seems like the end of the world?<br />

"Day of the Animals" is a fun, nature strikes back horror movie from the '70s. The characters are over the top, the animals are attacking the horrific fun has just begun!<br />

"Five Dolls for an August Moon" is like Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" on acid. It takes place in the swinging '60s and all the characters are good looking and dressed glamorously. The music is over the top fun and the extreme sudden close ups of the characters add to the overall visual feast which is this movie. You'll want to watch the fantastic opening cocktail party scene over and over just for the fun of it!<br />

Needing to make some extra money, Edith was considering a friend's nephew as a tenant but that has unexpectedly fallen through. Out of the blue, a handsome young stranger, Billy Jarvis (Clay) shows up at their doorstep saying he has been referred by the friend and offers to do work around the house in lieu of room and board. Edith falls for the young man's charms and she almost convinces herself, as well as her busy body church friends, that Billy is her great nephew.<br />

Billy moves in and soon is fixing up the old house and gardens and even winning over the reluctant Maura who didn't want him there in the first place. As things get better and better at home, Billy starts getting bouts of depression and heads off on his motorcycle in the middle of the night with murderous results. Apparently, the Night Digger is a serial killer that has been killing young women in the area and getting rid of the bodies. How will this turn of events affect the Prince mother and daughter?<br />

"The Night Digger" is an excellent psychological love story filled with eerie Gothic atmosphere. Patricia Neal is superb as the long suffering daughter of an overwhelming mother, who just wants to break out and live her own life before it's too late. The action is rather slow but the decaying mansion and estate as well as the talented cast of characters and the situations they encounter, make this gem of a film very enjoyable to watch.</div>

Scientist Adam Brake (Thomas) and his son Matthew (Demin) are moving to the sleepy English village of Milbury for three months to do some research on the magnetic forces surrounding the local stone formations that circle the village. They soon meet Margaret (Strong) and her daughter Sandra (Levy) who also have recently moved to town and start telling them about the weirdness going on in the village.</div>

Milbury is full of happy people. They say "Happy Day" to each other instead of good afternoon and everything is always well. They also like to go to the stone circle, hold hands and chant every once in a while in the middle of the night. What are they all up to? Well, our group of adults and children work together and try to solve the mystery before it's too late because, you see, all the newcomers eventually turn into a "Happy Dayer". Not only that, but Matthew and his father are somewhat receptive to the psychic energies and visions coming off the stones.</div>

It turns out the house has a terrible secret in its past. Emma, who has always been able to see glimpses of the past, believes she is now getting visions of murder in the past at the house. She starts to hear a child calling for her from upstairs and it's not Thomas! Thomas has an imaginary new friend named Tobias and carries an old doll around that Tobias gave him. Emma tries to share these visions and her fears about the house with Henri but he is too caught up in his own financial troubles to be of any support. <br />

This turned out to be a great thriller. Filled with spooky atmosphere that an old English Mansion with overgrown estate can provide. An eerie tree that keeps haunting Emma in her dreams also seems to be a part of the secret. Lots of scary moments, suspense and an interesting story keeps you guessing until the end.</div>

"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000069HZO/?tag=ahauonthescr-20">Cat People</a>" (1982) starring <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000176/?ref_=tt_ov_st">Nastassja Kinski</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000532/?ref_=tt_ov_st">Malcolm McDowell</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001334/?ref_=tt_ov_st">John Heard</a> is a remake of the 1942 classic of the same name.<br />
<br />
Irena Gallier (Kinski) is invited to New Orleans by her long lost brother Paul Gallier (McDowell). Shortly after arriving at his home, he disappears because he has turned into a black leopard, been on a killing spree and been captured by Oliver Yates (Heard), the curator at the local zoo. Irena doesn't know any of this and she doesn't know what her family legacy is. She happens upon her brother at the zoo and Oliver becomes obsessed with her and offers her a job there. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-re4Pt_zflpE/UdoJNYR8LsI/AAAAAAAApkw/jdyGbTfTFbE/s1600/cat+people3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-re4Pt_zflpE/UdoJNYR8LsI/AAAAAAAApkw/jdyGbTfTFbE/s400/cat+people3.jpg" height="283" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Little by little, it starts to become clear to Irena, that she will turn into a cat if she has sex with anyone. The only way to turn back to human form is to kill. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SkI2p2vRwSQ/UdoJNaI-PRI/AAAAAAAApks/m1cJupjBrJc/s1600/cat+people+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SkI2p2vRwSQ/UdoJNaI-PRI/AAAAAAAApks/m1cJupjBrJc/s400/cat+people+2.jpg" height="283" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
This remake is very well done. Kinski is wonderful as the naive Irena being emotionally overpowered by her domineering brother. There's even a scary swimming pool scene - a homage to the classic scene from the original! This remake is bloodier than its original but only in a couple scenes and definitely more erotic. There's also hypnotic music by David Bowie. Overall a very good remake of a classic horror movie.<br />

It is the year 1885 and Jonathan Harker (Van Eyssen) arrives at Count Dracula's (Lee) castle in order to work as the Count's librarian. After being bitten by one of Dracula's vampire women, he disappears. Dr. Van Helsing (Cushing) arrives to the castle later in order to find the missing Harker. He is given Harker's journal from some fearful townsfolk and soon finds himself involved with all the horrible goings on at the castle.<br />

Christopher Lee does a superb job playing the titular role of Dracula. Hammer Films excelled at these Dracula films and you will find it all here: creepy castle, terrified townspeople, sexy vampire women, scary atmosphere and the dapper but dangerous Dracula. </div>

Chase Prescott (Shatner) is a rich man who owns many companies and a beautiful mansion on a remote, private island. He invites a cast of characters from his businesses, friends and family to the island retreat because he thinks one of them is trying to kill him for his fortune. He has also invited an old friend, Henrietta O'Dwyer Collins (but everyone calls her Henrie O.) (Eden), who is a renowned journalist so she can investigate these suspects and let him know who the would be killer is.<br />

Barbara Eden does a good job as Henrie O (although her Texas accent is less than convincing) - asking all the guests the uncomfortable questions everyone would rather not talk about. Not only do we have a possible murder on the island - there is also an approaching storm to add to the suspensful atmosphere and drama! "Dead Man's Island" is a fun murder mystery with an all star cast of characters.<br />

This is a very enjoyable werewolf movie from the 70s. Everything about it screams the 70s, including the clothing, decor and the fantastically funky music! The cheesy "Werewolf Break" which comes after all the clues have been given and allows the audience to choose which person they think is the werewolf. "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007VY558/?tag=ahauonthescr-20" target="_blank">The Beast Must Die</a>" is a must see for fans of old horror movies!</div>

Jones</a>, also the movie's writer and producer), the local doctor and priest to determine what is happening to all the children.<br />

<br />
While this is occurring, the film also shifts to the local witch's coven which worships Satan and is gathering the children for its sinister plans. Who in the small town is the leader of the coven? You soon find out and you get a good look at the elderly denizens of Hillsboro who will do the unspeakable to stay alive and young. <br />

"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000694WG/?tag=ahauonthescr-20" target="_blank">The Brotherhood of Satan</a>" is a surprisingly good horror flick. It is visually well filmed and the idea of a town being cut off from the rest of the world creates a sinister sort of claustrophobia. There are some extremely creepy scenes in this movie, especially the birthday party scene where the children are catered to by unseen figures in black robes. I highly recommend that you find and watch this film!<br />

The Lambert family: dad Josh (Wilson), mom Renai (Byrne) and sons Dalton (Simpkins) and Foster (Astor) are haunted by the spirit world. We learn from Josh's mom, Lorraine (Hershey) that Josh has been haunted since he was a child by certain spirits that would show up in photos with him. Josh was hypnotized by ghost investigator Elise Rainier (Shaye) when he was a child so he would forget about those experiences. Unfortunately, Josh's son Dalton has similar abilities of astral projection which allows his spiritual body to go to "The Further" which is a place in the spirit world where tormented souls never move on.<br />

The Insidious movies are not gory like James Wan's "Saw" movies. They are scary chillers that return to the style of old fashioned horror movies by building tension, providing eerie atmosphere and jump out of your seat scares.

Patty Goodwin (Brittany) and her adopted sister Sarah (Lenz) are off to college together as freshmen and they hope to join their mother's former sorority, Alpha Nu Sigma. Jennifer Lawrence (Fairchild) is the beautiful and mean leader of the sorority and while Patty has the good looks and demeanor that fits right in with the other snobs at Alpha Nu Sigma, poor Sarah does not.<br />

<br />
Sarah finds her group of misfit friends at the Phi Epsilon Delta (PED) sorority which has a long rivalry against Alpha Nu Sigma. PED is run by house mother Mrs. Erica Hunter (Winters) who teaches the occult and instantly knows Sarah is the future of their house. Mrs. Hunter recognizes that Sarah has the power to move things and cause things to happen when she is angry. Can she focus that power on the vindictive and cruel sisters of Alpha Nu Sigma?<br />

<br />
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ESZZOOK/?tag=ahauonthescr-20" target="_blank">The Initiation of Sarah</a>" is a fun made for TV movie with Shelley Winters doing an excellent job as the eccentric and mysterious Mrs. Hunter. Kay Lenz plays the underdog Sarah quite well and we see her struggle to fit in and find some happiness which comes so easily for her sister. All in all, a fun horror chiller to watch on a lazy Saturday afternoon.<br />

There were 13 episodes that aired in the U.K. and later in the U.S. These stories are 50 minutes each and have production values of mini movies. They carry on the Hammer horror traditions of creating an eerie atmosphere, spine tingling situations, sense of dread and a touch of gore. </div>

I never saw this series until I found the DVD set which includes all episodes including the 13th episode "Mark of Satan" which didn't air in the U.S. because it was deemed too disturbing for American audiences. Each episode creates a sense of atmospheric horror that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat and make you yearn for the days when they made movies and programs like this. I thoroghly enjoyed discovering this great horror series!</div>

This is a fun horror movie and a perfect example of the early horror slasher film that doesn't have to show every gruesome detail of the deaths to make it scary. The characters, especially the beautiful Jess (Hussey), hilariously outrageous Barb (Kidder) and campy fun house mother, Mrs. Mac (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0907201/?ref_=tt_cl_t5">Marian Waldman</a>) make this a film that you can watch over and over. It is filled with a sense of dread and suspense that will keep you guessing right up to the end. </div>

<br />
The film is based on Henry James' story "The Aspern Papers". American publisher Lewis Venable wants to publish a famous poet's love letters to his love Juliana Borderau. Juliana is now 105 years old and living in a big old mansion along the canals of Venice. The family doesn't want to part with the letters but Lewis is on a quest to get them and tricks the Borderaus into leasing a room to him (under an assumed name) so he can write a book. The Borderaus household is now mostly run by the niece Tina Borderau who takes care of her ailing aunt and doesn't want guests. The Borderaus are struggling financially though and need the money to keep the house.<br />

<br />
The house is dark and brooding. Lewis meets the aged aunt (an unrecognizable Agnes Moorehead) who even sells him family artifacts but won't let him see the letters. Late at night, Lewis hears piano playing in the other side of the house. He follows it and finds the usually cold and severe looking niece Tina, in a flowing dress and set of rooms that used to belong to the aunt when she was young. It turns out unbeknownst to Tina, she is re-living her aunt's earlier life and romance with Aspern.<br />

Will Lewis follow through with getting the letters no matter what or will he be won over by the inhabitants of this house that is haunted by the past and can't seem to move forward?

<span style="font-size: large;">"Crooked House"</span> (2008) is a British made for TV miniseries that was shown in three episodes. It is a trio of ghost stories centered around the same cursed house called Geap Manor, starring <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0408846/?ref_=tt_ov_st">Lee Ingleby</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0309693/?ref_=tt_ov_st">Mark Gatiss</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1494925/?ref_=tt_ov_st">Derren Brown</a>.<br />
<br />
The first story is called "The Wainscoting" about an 18th century greedy rich man who makes a fortune on the backs of the local working folk and has purchased, renovated and moved into Geap Manor, the local "haunted house". He soon gets more than he bargained for when the house's walls start to haunt him.<br />

<br />
"Something Old" is the second story that takes place in Geap Manor in the 1920s. A lavish costume party is taking place and the owner's grandson announces his engagement to a local woman. The grandmother is not pleased because there is some secret from her past that is haunting the halls of the house and will soon affect her grandson.<br />

<br />
<br />
"The Knocker" is the final story which takes place in the present with Ben, the main character who found Geap Manor's door knocker in his suburban home that sits on the site of the old Manor. In addition to finding out more about Geap Manor, he discovers a doorway into the past where he sees what created the evil that continues to surround the house and the land it sits upon. <br />
<br />
You can find these all together as one movie and it is a fantastic series of haunted house and ghost stories to keep you more than sufficiently scared!Michael McConvillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18356365314756967948noreply@blogger.com0
