IT KNOWS WHAT SCARES YOU STRIKES AGAIN!

Today’s Halloween movie recommendation is very different from the others I’ve mentioned. At first it doesn’t even seem to even be related to the horror genre. Oh, but it is! And KILL LIST, a British film released in the States in 2012, is one you should know very little about before seeing. The trailer is very judicious in what it shows you (something Hollywood marketers might learn from), and I’m also going to reveal nothing but the movie’s introduction. DO NOT DO A GOOGLE SEARCH OF THE MOVIE BEFORE YOU SEE IT! Spoilers are everywhere on the ‘net. Be warned. You want to see this movie blissfully unaware.

Two British contract killers take on a new job, a list of victims that includes four people: the priest, the librarian, the politician and the hunchback. And that’s all I can tell you of the plot. As for the movie itself, expect a funny, violent, shocking, increasingly tense and suspenseful, scary experience. You’ll be doing a lot of thinking or talking during the end credits.

IT KNOWS WHAT SCARES YOU.

From now through Halloween, I’ll post a daily movie recommendation that’ll help get you in the mood, perhaps even inspire you before all the little goblins and gremlins arrive on your doorstep.

The night before labor is to be induced by her doctor, a woman goes home to rest. A stranger knocks at the door. She wants something inside. Something inside the house. Something inside the expecting mother.
 

INSIDE, a French movie released in the States in 2007, is the last movie that really scared the shit out of me. Everyone I’ve recommended it to has agreed. Don’t let the subtitles frighten you away … the film will take care of that. There isn’t much dialogue anyway, and you don’t need subtitles to translate screams. And there are a lot of screams. Mind the volume on your television … my neighbors looked at me very strangely for a couple days after I watched it.
