When you become a Netflix member for so long, such as myself, one must shake it up a bit. Bump up that random movie that you’ve been waitflixing for so long at the bare-bottom of your queue. Since I have three at a time, I decided I wanted to see I Am Legend, but that left me with 2 spots.
What ever shall I choose?
I know I’ll be on here swearing about this later in the week, but I decided upon two random films that may or may not cause me a bit of grief.
The first of the two is the Elisha Cuthbert horror moviefilm “Captivity”.
I like Elisha, generally speaking. Kim Bauer is the fault of the 24 writers, so I definitely don’t hold that against her (my Kim-theory is that if you deleted Kim’s Season 2 scenes from the canon, Kim would be an interesting and dynamic character adding to the long, painful tale of her father…but we’ll save that for next year).
Why am I even renting this? The reviews were ALL bad. People BASHING this movie. But Elisha is cute. And she was OK in House of Wax. And she was good in other mediocre second-rate movies. As I keep typing, I already begin to regret this choice but for some reason I couldn’t bring myself to delete this from my list of movies I don’t really need to see, but am drawn to!
The next movie might turn out OK! I have a liiittle faith in the original House on Haunted Hill.
Honestly, I loved the remake! I thought it was scary as hell, and wicked creative (except for that bad ending, but eh). Vincent Price seems to be someone I need to test out, and its rather embarrassing that it’s taken me this long to jump into this. I saw a clip on Scene It once with this skeleton chasing this woman…and it looked so 50’s-bad that I cannot delay anymore. Must. see.
Which one of these random C-movie, bad horror films will I regret more? Will it be the torture-porn murdering of Kim Bauer, or the psuedo-skeleton nightmare of a not-so-Haunted 50s house?
That’s all folks! TUNE IN NEXT TIME to find out orrr never read this blog again because you don’t fucking give a shit! Either way, I’ll be back to complain and hate on myself for enduring such crap flicks on my own free will!
*Edit post-viewing* – Captivity, not as terrible as I thought, but with a wicked lame ending; House on Haunted Hill, not corny enough to freakishly obsess over in a cult-y way.
