Halloween Screen Venomous Fun

HELL FEST

HORROR

PLOT:    A mask killer is roaming a scary amusement park.

                Slasher movies are usually a crazed person or someone the playful, oversexed young people know.  If you like these movies you will enjoy this.  It has Tony Todd (Candyman) but he is not in there very much.  There are jump scares and bloody kills but if you love these kinds of films you have seen it all before but at least it is funny and there is a twisted ending. 

VENOM

ACTION/ADVENTURE

  

PLOT:    A retelling of the origin of Venom.

                Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is a popular reporter and he has a loving girlfriend Anne(Michelle Williams) but when he tries to expose Carlton Drake(Riz Ahmed), a rich, ruthless millionaire(is there any other kind?) he gets fired and loses his girlfriend.  The good thing is he gets exposed to a symbiote from space that needs a host and it bonds with Eddie.  OMG, this is one wild ride!  Thank goodness it is funny and Hardy is hilarious ad Eddie as he tries to deal what is inside of him.  This IS NOT the origin of Venom.  You have to read the comic or Goggle it to find out the real story.  It made a lot of money but if you’re the fan of the comic you will be outraged and if you are not you will enjoy it.

THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS

FANTASY 

PLOT:    A young boy whose parents died stays with his uncle and finds out he is a warlock.

                Lewis (Owen Varcco) lost his parents and now lives with his uncle Jonathan (Jack Black) and he finds out he is a magician.  Jonathan’s friend is Florence (Cate Blachet).  The two fight like a married couple but they do like each other.  She is a witch but doesn’t like to use her powers.  All three must come together to stop an evil wizard Isaac Izard (Kyle MacLaclan) and his wife Selena (Renee Elise Goldsberry) to turn back time until humans don’t exist.  Oh man is this good and the shocking part it is directed by Eli Roth (Death Wish 2017, Green Inferno and Hostel).  He also has a cameo in this movie.  It is delightful and the special effects are great.  If you like Harry Potter, you will like this.  It is worth seening.
