“Alice”
Alice’s father’s new remote keeps changing things about Alex’s life. It changes her nastily, too. And then she’s a rabbit. DJ liked the effects. I did not. Although neither of us liked the story. It was nasty for nasty’s sake.
“The Radio”
Jerry buys a radio that speaks to him and tells him to do awful things. The acting was okay, but the story was stupid and the end sucked.
“Call Girl”
In this story, a call girl enjoys killing the people who kill her, but it turns out that one guy is a monster all his own. Sadly, there was no gratuitous boob shot, but we liked the story nonetheless. The twist was good. The rules were followed. And I was genuinely creeped out by the ending.
“The Professor’s Wife”
2 students believe that their professor’s wife isn’t real. So, what do they do? They cut her up into all of these pieces looking for the switch. But it turns out she is real and the story is just gross and stupid.
“Haunted Dog”
An ignorant doctor gives a homeless man a hot dog which he immediately chokes on. Instead of helping him, he lets him choke to death. So, the hot dog man comes back and haunts him. It’s really dumb. Really.
The whole movie was one of the stupidest movies we’ve ever sat through. We’ve turned off better, I swear it. We do not recommend it at all. It only gets points because of “Call Girl”.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I met George Romero. He was the kindest and sweetest man. He talked to me for longer than he should have with the line getting longer. He also held my hand. And when he noticed the ladybug I have tattooed on my wrist, he said he liked it and asked me it's name. Till then, it had not had a name. Now, I call him George.
2. I love stickers. All stickers. I just adore them. I even ask for stickers for Christmas! As a matter of fact, the birthday that just past, every member of my immediate family gave me sticker packs as gifts. Affordable and extremely appreciated.
3. I have never put much stock in astrology or horoscopes, but I LOVE the magic of the MBTI. Omg. I am an INFP and it actually sounds just like me. Introverted mostly. Creative always. Heart before head and not the most logical. Totally me! For better or worse.
4. It's no surprise I count horror so high up on the list of things that make me, me. However, it's so within my soul that I was part of the Horror Club in college. Interesting bunch. And even took a Horror Lit class as an elective. I got an A.
5. Coffee always makes me happy. Always. I'm particularly fond of caramel macchiatos. But I'll drink black coffee if it's the only thing available.
6. I hate shock for the sake of shock and endings that depress me. I always mention the movies Within (2016) and the Eli Roth produced, written and starred in, Aftershock (2012), as proof of this distate I have. I abhor the idea that just because I like horror, some people think I'd actually praise a movie that lets you think the "Final Girl" just made it through the night, only to slap her in the face with a tsunami.
7. We are big time animal people. I mean, if I could, I'd have an elephant, a bear, a zebra, a penguin, an otter and a meerkat, living with me. Seriously though. We have 2 dogs right now and 2 cats. Both cats we picked up when they each came to our front door hungry. And both dogs we got from 2 different sets of neighbors. Both who, unfortunately, don't know how to care for pets long-term. But they're happy and healthy now!!
8. Revisiting my love of horror, one of the above cats, my cat, is a little black guy named Church. Because Pet Sematary. His middle name is even Pascow. To give credit where credit's due, the name was DJ's idea. But he loves horror too!
9. I'm big into art. Along with movie posters and an Anne Frank quote, I have some actual paintings on my wall. I really think Dali paints beautifully when he wants to. And if I don't get to see Michaelangelo's Pieta in person some day, I will be very disappointed.
10. Lastly, I find Emily Dickinson's poetry intriguing. I took an elective course about her as well. But do you know I injected horror even there? I was given a poem to dissect and I picked one on death, of course. Then, I researched old "Death Photos" and even printed out copies for everyone in the class. They were so interested in looking at them that it stopped them from all looking at me, and I was able to deal quite well with my stage fright. Haha
