Beyond Redemption

I watched two more movies on V-Day, so I had to come in here and dish on them. But also, here’s a bit of lulz that I just found out courtesy of kau. Twilight (you know, the vampire phenom that has creatures of the night walking the streets during the day while simultaneously sparkling?) has a manga! Have a peek! Twilight Manga Scans

To the creators: Bleach wants their identity back.

Now, onto the movies!

Sleepaway Camp (The original)

The acting in this movie is so awful that it’s painful. It was hard to sit through it. Really hard. However, both Danga and my ex said it was worth watch watching with the latter saying that the ending will make the pain worth it. He was right!

This is a typically bad slasher flick that takes place in a camp, but how it begins is you see a family out having some fun at the lake (a dad and his son and daughter). But there are some kids water-skiing, too, and the next thing you know, the brats are not watching where they’re going and they end up killing the father and one of the kids. Fast forward to today. It’s revealed that the daughter has survived and now lives with a cousin and his mother who is a twisted version of Mary Poppins and she’s about to send them to camp.

What follows is a fairly bad movie with a few interesting murders/maims and a surprise ending that I figured out about 10 minutes before it was revealed (still an okay watch, though). However, I have to hammer it home that this is some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen in my LIFE. Just really shitty stuff.

Out of a possible 5 Yashas, I give Sleepaway camp 2.5. The ending makes it worth the ache of actually watching it.

Triangle

Okay, so, this is one of the most nonsensical “horror” movies I’ve ever seen. The premise is that we see a guy with his first mate on a cute little boat called the Triangle and we watch as his friends arrive. They’re going boating today (awwww!) and 2 of his friends, a couple, even brings a girl for him. But he’s not interested in her. He invited a waitress (the chick from 30 Days of Night) that he likes who has a developmentally delayed son (son does not join them). We also see that boat guy’s friends aren’t too keen on her -they think she’s weird.

Fast forward. They’re sailing along and everyone’s having fun and it’s pretty established that the blind date isn’t happening, much to the chagrin of his married female friend, but no one complains. Next thing you know, all of the wind stops. Boat guy and first mate are like, “Eh?” because no wind means fucked sailing. Then, they see it. A huge storm is coming their way, and boy, does it! The ship is nearly taken out and the blind date girl is toast when the boat capsizes.

The survivors make it onto the hull where they wait in despair, but luck is on their side! A massive cruise ship sees them and they start hailing them, screaming for help. No one comes to the railing on the ship to see what’s up >.> or do they, but these people are stranded. They don’t give a fuck! They go ahead and board and that’s when we find out that the ship is deserted. That’s also when the fuckery begins.

How can I sum it up without giving away details for those that may want to see it? Erm… picture the movie Ground Hog Day, but even worse, with killings involved. By the time you reach the end, guess what happens? Yes, all over again! In fact, at one point, you’re given evidence that this scenario may have played out as many as fifty times.

Me? I wish it hadn’t happened even once. >.>

Out of a possible 5 Yashas, I give Triangle 1.5, and that’s only because first mate was kinda hot.

Coming soon…
