Lights Out - Best Horror movie 2016 (WARNING SPOILERS)

Tonight, I went to the cinema to see a horror film which I had heard about and whose script interested me a lot: Lights Out.
Basically, this film was a short movie, which had made a buzz on youtube and was even awarded by a prize. Moreover, the actress of the short movie, Lotta Losten, appears early in the film, in a minor role, but where she is the first person to see the evil entity. Great tribute to the short film, it's well thought out. :)

The story is very simple and the film is not very long, about 81 minutes, but on the other hand, the horrific atmosphere is waiting for you. In the scenario, a family is targeted by an evil entity that is sensitive to light and can appear only in the dark. But in the film, we learn that before becoming a demon, this woman was human and was called Diana, and had been in a psychiatric hospital. Diana was not like the others, because she was suffering from a very rare disease that made her have a skin so sensitive she could not stand the light and constantly had to move in the shadows. In addition, Diana had a very reserved character, some even said that she was in fact evil and manipulative. At hospital, she met Sophie, a young girl who later, became the mother of the family who became the target of the entity. Diana had an aggressive behavior, and for the cure, doctors have tried on her an experimental practice, based on bright lights, but the experience has gone wrong and Diana died, burned alive.

After Kayako Saeki in The Grudge and Sadako Yamamura in Ring, a new horrific female character joined the ranks of the scariest: Diana. Although the film is short, moments of fear and suspense are feeling well and the jumpscares are well worked. When I was in the cinema, I saw several people jump of fear at some times of the film, as for me, I loved it. As a worshiper of horror films, I expected a lot of Lights Out, and I was not disappointed, emerged from the room with a smile and a great desire to get it at its DVD release. If you like fear and we're not afraid of the dark, go see this movie, I highly recommend it for all the fans. For a movie that was based on a short film, it was well worked and I congratulate the team for this film. For the note, I put it 9/10.

Good night, and especially ..... Leave the lights on, or she will come to get you... ;) 

But if you don't believe me, it's okay, but let's see the trailer, if you dare....

Villain of the Month - Edition N°9

With my correspondence courses, there are times where I could not publish much, but this time, I have time, so I present the villain of the Month: This month, we meet a monster that is become a truly global phenomenon, starting on internet, but now in the world of video games and movies also: the Slender Man.

Slender Man is a paranormal creature, described as a devil or an evil ghost, faceless, tall, thin, dressed in a black suit, which kidnaps people, especially children, to kill them. Initially appeared on a series of photos on the internet, Slender Man has seen his popularity grow over the years, and even became the first true Internet phenomenon, making himself known worldwide. Slender Man has become so popular that today he is one of the best known creepypastas in the world, he has been mentioned in thousands of fan stories, in hundreds of small horror films, and he even was entitled to its own series of horror games: Slender. The purpose of these games is very simple: find the eight pages before Slender Man reaches to catch you. However, the last game, Slender: the Arrival, has a richer and pushed scenario, plunging deeper into the Slender Man myth. Yes, a myth is created around the legendary monster, making him even more complex and real to us. It is even said that its origins date back to the Middle Ages. A song was even created for Slender Man, by Zip Zipper. A slow and dark melody, with children's laughter and macabre singing, which defines very well the monster.

Physically, Slender Man is like a man, but very tall (almost 10 feet high). He has a bald and pale head, faceless, which prevents guessing its expressions. His arms and legs are very thin and disproportionate, like the fingers of his hands clawed, which looks almost like branches. He wears a black suit with a black tie sometimes, sometimes red, it depends. Yes, Slender Man is a monster, but a monster who knows how to dress himself. Slender Man has many powers. First, he can teleport himself, which makes him even more dangerous, and it becomes impossible to escape. He seems bind to the trees, because he is often in forests, at night and of course, you will meet the monster and become its target. Once he took someone as target, Slender Man leaves him no respite, making the life of the person like hell, to the point to make him crazy and break the morally before killing him, or turn him into a proxy, a creature resembling a ghoul and serving Slender Man. Because yes, the Slender Man also has servants, mostly humans being transformed.

He can also make appear tentacles of his back, to move faster, or also to catch his victims. Slender Man appears to influence the electrical systems, because when he's present, the lights start to flicker, and the cameras fail or sizzle. Slender Man has no pity for his victims, regardless the age. In general, he does not kill its victims immediately, preferring scare them first, see them panic and run, see them attempt to flee while it's impossible, thus showing that Slender Man is a sadistic monster who likes to play with his prey before devouring it.

For being a global phenomenon, one of the most famous monsters in the world of the paranormal and an icon of fear, Slender Man deserves his place in the list of the greatest villains.

See you next month, humans \m/
