Fantasy film review; Vampire Academy

Vampire Academy the 2014 film based on the six set series by Richelle Mead tell the story of Rose Hathaway (Zoey Deutch) a dhampir (half vampire half human) and moroi (mortal vampire) her best friend who she protects Lissa Dragomire (Lucy Fry). This first film in the series follows the girls returning to vampire academy as they try to deal with the secrets , strigoi (evil traditional vampires) and school drama.

*SPOILER ALERT* (if you haven't seen this film sorry)


I'm obsessed with this film .... found it on netflix's and watched it way to much to the point were I can now quote the film. Zoey Deutch has also become a new celebrity crush for me (you will understand when you watch it)

Normally I find teen films to be predictable and boring. But this film had me glued. The relationships between the characters seems natural and the hole story line and plot just seem believable. Even at the end when they have the climax of the film there is still more that leaves you wanting the next film to be released (fingers crossed)

The main plot in this film is Lissa and Rose learning what happened while they were gone for a year. This has them facing moroi that want power and wish them dead (these are just the ones in the academy) and constantly being on alert for strigoi that want to change them and just cause havoc. Lets not forget school bullies, jealous girlfriends and ass-hole teachers while they are just doing normal teenage things like finding love and trying not to be killed.

Would definitely recommend people watch this (seriously)

Horror film review; The Purge Anarchy

The purge anarchy is the second instalment of the purge films directed by James De Monaco . This one looks at how normal everyday civilians survive during the purge. This instalment follows three different people who all join during the night to survive the disorder and mayhem of the purge. This 2014 films stars Frank Grillo, Carmen Ejogo and Zach Gilford

*SPOILER ALERT* (if you haven't seen the film sorry) 

I find this is the one rare occasion were the sequel is a lot better then the first instalment. In this one I felt more of a connection to the characters. There were even moments were I was upset for the characters so I'm not too sure if I can class this film as a horror film or not.  

This one does make you as an audience ask questions about the class system (but im not going into depth about that ... its a bit boring to be honest)

However this is definitely a film to watch with the family but not those under 15 (sorry) there's no unexpected nudity so no awkwardness but the language isn't the best. I would recommend this to anyone that loves a good action horror film.

Horror Film Review; American Mary

American Mary directed by Soska sisters stars Katharine Isabelle as the title role of Mary Mason. This 2012 Canadian horror film focuses on body modification as Mary Mason seeks revenge whilst being dragged down into preforming graphic body modification on her clients.

*SPOILER ALERT* (if you haven't watched the film sorry)

Right okay this film is definitely one of the most graphic films going but I personally loved it. The story of Mary Mason is definitely one of the most upsetting as it can and most likely has happened to regular people (although im sure not everyone would go into body modification) In the beginning of the film we see that Mary is just a regular medical student trying to do her best, she's top of her class but struggling to financially support herself. Of course things get worse for her as she is raped by one of her teachers this causes her to seek revenge on him by practising body modification. she is an amazing surgeon and soon has a reputation that proceeds her. But things get worse as a client how becomes a literal barbie parts and all is killed by her husband who then kills Mary. The twists in this film keeps it interesting as it can be difficult to get into.

I recommended that my parents watched this film as I completely loved this film as it is completely different to any other horror film that I have watched. Unfortunately my parents didn't like this film they thought it was too dark and twisted. So if you do watch this film make sure it is the type of film you would enjoy otherwise you may be freaked out by what you see.
