Underrated horror films come in all shapes and sizes, you can get a gem or you can get a flop, a snooze fest to an edge of your seat thrill ride, the Sacrament was… Neither, well it was kind of a horror I mean the horror of what happens in the film yeah, if your looking for jumpscares then this really isn’t the film for you. The film says it’s based on true story and it is, they have borrowed events form the Jonestown massacre, if you don’t know what that was then I will tell you, back in the 70s there was a group called The People’s Temple Agricultrual Project, seems like a nice name for a group, well anyway they had a group in Jonestown near Guyana, now this became notorious because it caused the deaths of 913 people in the commune (cause of deaths were cyanide poisoning) so anyway I have digressed lets get back on subject umm oh yeah the sacrament.

The story follows a real life company called Vice (they do documentaries about all sorts of stuff in the world) here’s a link to the their YouTube channel https://m.youtube.com/user/vice so they are interviewing a guy called Patrick who works for Vice, Patrick’s sister is a recovering drug addict living in a place called Eden Parish, run by a man only known as Father, Patric along with two cameramen working for vice head over to Eden Parish, after a close call with some guards at the entrance of the commune Patrick’s sister turns up and apologises for the mixup, they enter and see what the commune are doing, father has saved all of the community of Eden Parish, they meet a nurse who tells the crew that they are fully stocked with medical supplies because the members funded them by selling all of their possessions. 

Patrick goes of with the sister, and the other two cameramen are shown to their cabins, there they meet a mute girl and her mother (who acts very shady towards them) after interviewing some of the members, they finally have a meeting with Father himself, after an awkward interview, father tells them to party, while the party is going on, the mute girl hands a note requesting the cameramen to help, turns out a small group of people want to leave, and accuse father of of brainwashing and abusing the commune, they try to help. 

They find Patrick having a threesome, Patrick’s sister comes out drunk and tells them that they need his money, becoming suspicious they become angry and distrustful of father and try to sleep through the night, the next morning they see the people want to get out of there, and father disapproves, one of the cameramen go to the helicopter to try and delay the pilot, it doesn’t work, and the pilot is shot, back at the camp a fit is breaking out the cameraman tries to break it up but Patrick’s sister denounces him and takes him hostage. 

Father gathers the commune and persuades them to drink cyanide laced Kool Aid if they refuse they are shot dead, the cameraman who went to the helicopter pilot comes back to find everyone dead apart form the armed guards, Patrick is with his sister as she injects him she cradles him in her arms until he dies, the cameramen are with father who takes some drugs and then shoots himself dead, the cameramen then make it out by the skin of their teeth. 

And that was the sacrament, now this ticked all the boxes for me, found footage yes, suspenseful yes good story line oh yes, this film was great I mean really great, it never had any flaws at all, the only flaw I would say was its run time it’s about 80-90 minutes, but apart from that it was a good film I would give this film a 9/10 only for the run time and that’s it.

You can the information on the true story here if you are interested, http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonestown this is the event that the film is based on until next time catch you later.

Okay I have just seen on Twitter something sad, as you know in the news Zayne from one direction has quit he left this week, leaving directioners sad, disappointed, angry and upset, but what worries me is how people are taking it, now I’m not directing this at all directioners I’m just saying my opinion on this, people are slitting their wrists, now I know what your thinking “Jack why are you making a big deal out of it” I’m not I’m just voicing my opinion on this. Now people are slitting their wrists and posting it to Twitter using the hashtag #cutforzayne now I find pretty damn cruel because people do this as a suicide attempt to kill themselves, mostly because they are depressed, but I digress, please stop cutting yourselves and I speak to directioners when I say this, stop, stop harming yourselves, self harming is a big issue in this world we live in, and your doing this because some dude left a boyband, really!! He’s gonna persue a solo career he’s not quitting the music industry for good, so please stop harming yourselves because on dude has left something that you adore, it’s his desicion, and slitting your wrists is not gonna make him come back, and posting them to Twitter is not gonna help either. 

I hope people will understand how serious this is and please let’s make a stop to self harming, I hate seeing people who slit their wrists, I had mates who done it and they would come in to school and show me the scars, and I  just used to think why? Why would you do that to yourself, if you are somebody who does this please speak to someone, please, there’s loads of people you can talk to in this world and they can help you, don’t result to self harming, thank you for reading this and I hope people can learn from this, once again thank you. 

This is such an underrated film I mean not many people know about this film and I hadn’t until I stumbled across it on google, so I sat down and watched it.

Now I am a huge fan of found footage movies, I mean paranormal activity still scares the shit of me, I mean the whole found footage genre I love, now I have never heard of this film at all as I said in the intro it’s very underrated, so what’s this story about, well it’s about big brother 6 people agree to stay in a mansion for six months and at the end one of them receives a massive pay load of 1 million dollars but if one of them leaves then everyone loses, sounds simple ah but the six months are coming to an end and they start getting really weird packages with one of them containing some bricks and another with a loaded gun with 5 bullets in it.

So what happens you say, well all this commotion and one of the housemates starts wondering if it’s a stalker from her childhood (she starts seeing objects and messages on the window that remind her) well as all this is going on a strange man called Travis turns up completely out of the blue, and guess who Travis is played by (a very young Bradley Cooper) yep didn’t see that coming either, so Travis turns up and says that he does not recognise the housemates (they are all on a website on the Internet supposedly) which starts worrying the housemates.

 Well as the film goes on Travis starts talking to the cameras around the house and steals some underware from one of the girls rooms, the next morning Travis leaves and the woman whose underware has been stolen finds it in one of the guys rooms, she accuses him of stealing, which he declines she starts disbelieving him, as an apology he carves her a cat but she mocks it and he overhears everything, the next morning the guy has hung himself and has died (I did warn you there would be spoilers) as the film goes on everyone is paranoid until one night one of the guys finds out that they are not on the Internet, but instead on a blocked website that people would play up to fifty thousand dollars to view, as he tries to hack in to it cameras turn on in the room (it’s a room where cameras are not allowed) so the housemates start panicking, that night two of them talk about what they would do when they get out, suddenly this guy gives the woman a massage halfway through he says that he chose to come on here for the fear after that he looks into the camera and says “shall I kill her now” after that he strangles her with a plastic bag.

So turns out this guy is working for the company that is running the website so he kills the hacker and tries to kill the woman who had her underware stolen, as he tries to kill her a cop arrives and then bam he shoots the woman, later in a bar the cop and the guy working for the company are having a drink, and their keeping the girl the cop shot in a locked freezer, as the guy working for the company goes to take a look and the cop shoots him, and that’s it, it just ends there. 

Now I loved this film it was really tense but that ending was so horrendously God awfully bad, I mean it left so many plot holes in it and that ruined the whole film for me, I mean we don’t learn who this company is we hardly know this company we don’t know what they do I mean it was god awful, but the parts where they film in the house were fantastic, I mean they were filmed great and you felt the tension everytime the camera panned round, it was definatly a tense film, just the ending could of been a little bit better, but apart from that I thought it was a good film I would give it a 6/10 main,y because of the ending but the other parts were great, let me know if you have seen this movie did you think it was disappointing or did you enjoy it let me know I would love to hear your opinion on this, and until next time catch you later. 

Godzilla, what an epic movie, ignore the 90s version (we all know that was god awfully bad) now I wanted to go cinema to see this, but sadly it wasn’t up there so I had to wait for the DVD to come out, so I picked it up and sat down with the family (well not my mum it’s not her type of film) anyway we sat down and watched it. 

So what’s the story about, well as you can see it’s about Godzilla but it’s also about the people that tries to stop him people like the army and scientists. Now I loved this film I thought it was really good, cgi was impressive as was the acting, but did it have its flaws no, and I will tell you why minus the long running time (118 minutes) it definatly has pace and quick one too, I mean it’s very pacey and there’s action in almost every scene, but that doesn’t mean there’s no talking, now let’s talk about the cast, now there’s not an all star cast but is does have its fair share of actors so whose in it you say, well I shall tell you’ve got Bryan Cranston who plays Joe Brody Aaron-Taylor Johnson who plays Ford Brody and Elizabeth Olsen who plays Ellie Brody, there’s a lot more actors and actresses in here but too name them all will take forever. 

Now let’s take a look at the action/CGI, now the CGi was fantastic I mean Godzilla looked and sounded great as did Muto (a winged creature who is Godzilla’s nemesis) the action was superb and I mean brilliant I was on the edge of my sofa watching this, (the final battle with Godzilla and Muto was epic)  the character delevopment was great, we really learn a lot from these characters and their past. 

And that was Godzilla, and what a film it was I mean I really enjoyed this film I was on the edge of my seat for the whole thing, the action was amazing as was the storyline. So let me know what you thought of Godzilla did you like it, or didn’t you? did you like the 90s version or not? Until next time catch you later.
