haunted movies based on true story *spoiler alert!*

I am not a big fan of horror movies, but I did watched them a lot during my study years as most of my housemates suggested that we watched horror movies together because it would be less scarier. I would say I've watched plenty of crap movies that didn't even make sense but I guess the director could get away with it since most supernatural occurrences didn't make sense to most of us. As for me, I prefer those horror movies that are based on true story. Below are some of the haunted movies reportedly based on true story.

1. The Conjuring


Based on the case files of the Warrens. Ed and Lorraine Warrens are two paranormal researchers who were called by the Perrons to investigate the paranormal activities that have been going on in their new home. Little the Perrons known, the entity that have been haunting the house are actually going after them.

2. The Exorcism of Emily Rose


Based on the exorcism of Anneliese Michel from Germany. A priest performed an exorcism on the girl whom he claimed was being possessed by demons that resulted to self-abuse. When she died, her parents together with the priest were found guilty of manslaughter.

3. The Amityville Horror


The Lutzs moved into a house which had been the scene of mass murder where a man brutally murdered his family. Ronald DeFoe or Butch came home one day and murdered his family with a rifle. His father, was known to be violent towards the family especially to Butch. Soon, Butch decided to fight back and the hated that has been building up was release on November 1974 when he mercilessly murder his own family. As soon as the Lutzs move into the house, they experience disturbances and when they couldn't take it any longer, they invited paranormal researchers, Ed and Lorraine Warren to investigate the house. The Warrens concluded that the house was indeed haunted.

4. The Entity


Doris Bither claimed that she was abused by demons and after many attacks, she turn to paranormal researchers Kerry Gaynor and Barry Taff. The researchers witnessed the disturbances but never witnessed the attack on Doris thus unable to prove her claims.

5. The Haunting in Connecticut


The Snedekers moved into a house in a small town in Southington, Connecticut with the purpose of being close to the hospital where their oldest son was being treated for cancer. The house turn out to be a funeral home. They experience strange phenomena with Carmen and her niece being brutally raped repeatedly, an investigation by the paranormal researchers revealed that one former undertaker was involved in necrophilia - the sexual attraction to corpses.

Day 2: Your fave movie

My all time fave movie would be...


I love the soundtrack, the actors, the story line, the movie effect...I think Kate Winslet is one of the most gorgeous people in hollywood and Leonardo Dicaprio is talented. I used to buy all things titanic when I was in school. Of course mummy thought the movie is not appropriate for my age at the time. Almost every girl in my school adore Leo at that time.

Maybe I'll watch Titanic again this weekend. Yeah....I think I should.

movies during raya holiday





watched THE UGLY TRUTH yesterday..the movie not so bad.if its not for Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler..i wouldnt watch it.seriously comedy is not really my genre.im more into action,fantasy and scifi and no horror please..its just stupid and gross.anyway,i think the movie seriously not suitable for the underage as they use a lot of swear words and explicit sexual words,too much of em makes me bored.i rate it 2.5/5..





today i watched PERFECT GETAWAY.it was kinda shiok..especially it got Milla Jovovich in it.i realized lately if i wanna watch movie..ive to see who's acting in it.different back then,i would watched the trailer first and if the story line is good,and i would definitely go watch it.currently,it depends on who's acting in it.anyway i always loved milla jovovich especially in resident evil.i always prefer fiction than fact.the movie is full of twist,unexpected event..the ending was satisfying..the movie is OK especially because milla jovovich in it..um,did i already mention that?hee~rate it 3.5/5
go watch it.

The Unbelievable


Watched The Unbelievable with my cousin last 2 days..can i say eerie much?it's disgusting,revolting,scary,weirdness..
this documentary is Hong Kong TV program about supernatural and paranormal events and they film the occurrences mostly in Thailand.it's like watching ENTITI (Indonesia) or SEEKERS (Malaysia).there are exorcism, playing ouija board (talking to dead people), then there this scene where the crew visit this creepy guy and the guy shows them "little ghost" and while they filming him,he started chewing off live fish and chicken to feed the "little ghost" blood..revolting!my cousin was determined to watch this movie since there arent many worth watching.since he treated me to McD for berbuka..so,i obliged by watching The Unbelievable with him.there were not more than 10 people in the cinema at that time..i cant really focus..my advice,it's not for the faint-hearted.watch it if you dare!

MOVIE: The Coffin



my cousin came by today and ask me out,we went to see THE COFFIN because she wanted to see karen mok and i wanted to see super handsome ananda everingham.this genre is NOT our fave but we thought it would be nice to watch horror movie once in a while.
whenever there were horror moments,i would close my eyes with tissues i got from the counter when we bought popcorn and she would focusing on digging for the best looking popcorn and popped them into her mouth.we would laugh when we look at each others face,we were hopeless.



Directed by: ekachai uekrongtham
Casts: karen mok (hongkong singer),ananda everingham (shutter),napakpapha kakprasitte (long khong)

Based on Thailand ritual of lying in the coffins to ward off bad karma,two people decided to go through the custom.chris(ananda) does it for his girlfriend who is dying because of cancer,sue(karen) was diagnosed with cancer a week before her wedding.after the ritual,chris and sue experience miracles but later they encounter terrifying incidents.

i was freaking pissed off with the late comers,WOULD IT KILL Y'ALL TO ARRIVE EARLY???your fat head were blocking my view,nice one...thanks!
not forgetting people who i think,cant read and dont have sense to silent their handphone (even though there was a commercial before the movie starts reminding viewers to be CONSIDERATE and silent their handphone),there was this horror moment and an inconsiderate fella handphone was ringing the chipmunk version of funky town,it totally killed the mood!.once,was forgiven,but the handphone kept ringing and i think that fella doesnt know how to use the handphone and he/she thought it would be cool to have a handphone because everybody has one even though he/she doesnt know how to use it..
