2/31 OktoberHorrorFest - Movie Review - Bag Boy Lover Boy (2014) & Cellphone (2023)

BAG BOY LOVER BOY

So the first is low budget horror movie about a normal person who sells hot dog until the day some artist appears and says he wants him in this next art project. Being this horror, or somekind of it, the art itself looks like it's going to be somekind of kinky porn stuff but alas it was not (because he is putting a bag on top of her head). This guy which I have to tell is a bit of mentally challenged person wants to be artist as well now and things go downhill after all he can't really discern the difference between "art" and just being a murderer. It was bad movie, not worthy of 1h30 that it took. But being a low budget I guess I can accept it... This probably cost what? 10 dollars and a sandwich? Oh, there are some boobs but nothing really too graphic or interesting.. imdb

CELLPHONE

Since this was disapointed I went to Cellphone a 2024  horror novel set in a isolated house in the middle of nowhere. It started very interesting with a guy, going around his house, at night, with his cellphone and camera on and looking at things. We don't know what he sees but after looking at his wife  in her bed he find out him hang. Afterwards we start accompanying another inhabitant to the house and right from the bat you know something is going on. We then learn the reason she is there and funny thing is that the man who portrays her husband is her actual husband (well it wasn't but they are now). Did they meet in the movie? That's the most important thing... Getting back to the movie it sucked. IT was slow burning, boring conversations and the "evil" ghost kind of thing was overdone and pretty unconvincing. Most interesting part of the movie besides the real love between characters was Justin Malik Jackson performance. 

Okay I've search. This movie was filmed in 2021 which makes sense with the lack of characters (there several character but never meet , well almost) 

Whitney is now engaged to fellow co-star Jared Noble. They met in Chillicothe, Ohio while shooting the film 'Cellphone'.

No nudity. imdb

1/31 OktoberHorrorFest - Movie Review - Succubus

There were two movies called Succubus in 2024. One of them is Russian and from what I've heard it's better than the US counterpart. imdb

The Tale is set on a island where a bunch of couples get together to overcome somekind of adversity on their relation. Trust , lack of sexual appeal etc. Each one is given several tasks where they must perform or else... In the beginning you don't know what "else" is since is just some kind of jump scares but as the story progress you get the feeling of what it means to be there and what is at stake. After a while you see those guardians and their weird cult. To be honest, just from the get go with those masks you know that something was wrong but whatever.  There are some really interesting things like the monster and the twin thing. To be fair, this is nothing you haven't seen before on other movies out there.

There is a lot of  sexual tension, but unfortunately only two sex scenes although when they exist they are very good , well because Angelina Pahomova has great boobs and even for that only is sufficient to watch the movie. She gets naked thrice in the movie whereas one of them is pretty good. 

Some odd things is the lack of dialogue I don't know if they create this movie for English audiences , probably, but every character as English name like Stacy or Nick which I found odd. I've try to first hear in Russian and then English and couldn't tell which is better...  The Dubs are awful. The plot in the end is a bit convoluted, not going to spoil but I thought that everything ended quite easily...

Analysis of First Semester 2024

 As you know I've changed my goals that instead of being books read (Which I initially set to 104 (2 per week or so) I changed to 100 pages per day. 

So, how am I faring you ask..  Well I've read (concluded) 58 novels with total page count of 14993 pages that gives roughly 83 pages per day. So I am bit off on the page count.

I've read 6 Fantasy, 6 Thriller, 18 Sci-Fi & 27 Horror novels which makes sense since it's my favourite genre.

My Top 5 (without Re-Reading)

  1. Swan Song - Robert McCammon *97*
  2. Ship of Fools - Paul Richard Von Russo *93*
  3. Tender is the Flesh - Agustina Bazterrica *93*
  4. The Hunt for Red October - Tom Clancy *92*
  5. Skyward - Brandon Sanderson *92*
Top Disappointing Books
  1. The Resting Places - Anthology *23*
  2. Gilead's Curse - Dan Abnett & Nik Vincent *25*
  3. The Deep - Nick Cutter *32*
  4. The Night House - Jo Nesbo *33*
  5. Malorie - Josh Malerman *33*
In terms of Black Library Stuff I've read 11 books plus one ReRead which is pretty good. My Goal is to read 20 or so this year to dwindle my BL Books.

Series I finished  (not all in the same year)
 - The Beast Arises - Black Library (12 novels)
- Slob - Aron Beauregard (2 novels)
- Ambassador Chronicles (2 novels)
- Bird Box (2 Novels)
- Gilead - Black Library (2 Novels)
- Space 1999 - Audiobook (3 novels)
- Genevieve - Black Library (4 Novels)
