Day 93 (?) under Quarantine. Entertainment options here are growing truly desperate... for humans and animals alike! What “programs” have you been watching lately? Hopefully nothing as dull as this! 😂 (Though admittedly, the plot twist in episode 38 where I lost my left sock was brilliant! And who could’ve predicted the pants SHRINKING in “Washers on the Wall” during season 5??? I’ve heard rumors that Rob Starch dyes in the books, but Walder Frayed has been color bleeding on all my undershirts.) 🤢 Anywho, stay safe, guys, and toss a coin to your washer. 👍 #illseemyselfout #whatareyouwatching #quarantinelife #boredinthehouse #randomencounters https://www.instagram.com/p/CBmVlCKJvlI/?igshid=6d1qt5otomf6

My Silent Film Ranking

My partner is a bit of a movie buff, and its taken a little bit to rub off on me but in watching movies then and now, I have stumbled onto a fair amount of silent films. Really most people have heard of silent films, (get the pun?), but until you experience it for yourself its hard to understand how neat they really are...here is my ranking of some I have come across...

1.  The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920)

This was the first Silent movie I ever watched. The first one has a special place in ones heart. Besides that, the story and visuals are amazing. Even without the twist in the end, story is so original. Like I would walk through a recreation of this for money. 

2.  Phantom of the Opera (1925)

This is second on my ranking. I have loved Phantom of the Opera, but if you had told me it was better as a silent film...I would of told you you were crazy. Well, if your crazy...I’m looney. I love it better than the modern film, although I love the music in the new one. 

3.  Nosferatu (1922)

The original vampire. Dracula draws its inspiration from this, but until you watch the original it is hard to appreciate the things we know but don’t know the source of. The visuals are amazing and who would of thought it was an OG love story? 

4. Haxan (1922)

A horror mocu-mentary amazing film. Really, its a good length for a silent film. Its in swedish, so not only is there no one speaking you are reading subtitles. Some of the imagery they use is amazing and the mix of book pages and film re-enactment is amazing. Its crazy to me what people used to believe from a modern mind set, can you imagine watching this is 1922? Must Watch! 

5. The Immigrant (1917)

It is hard to do a silent film list and not do a charlie chaplin bit. He is silent film, and I could totally see why. He is an amazing actor, he has so much more work to do with his face and actions. It is a nice little short bit, and makes me want to watch so much more of his work. 

6. Frankenstein (1910)

This is the shortest one, I would of loved to see it longer but technology at the time was much less advanced than it is today...so if I think its tough today to get x amount of footage, time jump back and tell me how much harder it is. Lovely little bit and I love how the colors in an otherwise black and white film build up mood. 

I look forward to watching so many more silent films, just wonder how many more I can get my hands on? I have also heard House of Usher from the 60′s is supposed to be one of the classics. All these are found on Shudder or Classic Movie Vault via Roku. What titles have you seen that you think should be on this list?

The Hills Have Eyes...Then & Now!

I love seeing a movie transition over the years, and The Hills Have Eyes popped up on my Shudder account. So I started with the very beginning, a very good place to start. The name has recognition but it is one of those I mistook it as horror that had no class and never even tried it? So I am excited to experience this now! 

The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

The opening scene leaves me with so many questions. Probably one of the better apocalyptic scenes I have seen in a while. Who doesn’t love a road trip gone wrong? Quickly the family finds themselves lost in the hills, which are supposed to have eyes. But where do the eyes come from? Simple story, great filming for the time it was done, but the simple story was one of the scarier ones I had seen in a while. 

The Hills Have Eyes Part II (1984)

I love how this one picked up where the other one left off regardless of time gap, and even built a time gap into the characters. Probably one of the best sequels I have seen in a while. Less scary than the first one, but its a great continuation. I really liked both of these more than I feel like words will properly say. 

The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

I seem to recall the aspect of the remake (from the original) that is the hyperfocus of the introduction but it is interesting a younger more recent (cause oriented) generation would make something more silent in the original, louder in the remake. It is very close to the original, with some differences which makes it its own. Much faster paced than the one from the 70′s, and (in my opinion) as scary as 1984 film. 

The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007)

I do like that in story, and in real life, the sequel is placed a year later. I will say that I watched the trailer and review videos,and did not watch this. I had a hard time finding it and really when I did I would of had to make an account and pay $5? It does seem to pick up where the other one left off, taking some of the cues the remake took. Like really focusing on military aspect. Military people doing practice runs in the dessert go to pick up scientists doing more tests in the dessert. They come into contact with the hills peoples. It looks really gruesome. 

Whether you watch the original or the remake, if you like Horror, you need to watch this. This is horror, its simple story of a road trip gone wrong in a land forgotten by history’s misdeeds. Yet, is there any movie like it before it? I bet there are movies like it after. I prefer the old school version, even with the sequel. I love the idea for the OG that you see what happened to the family in the first film and see someone dare to come back to old stomping grounds. Really though, both are fantastic films. Scared me (all films) more than I have been in a while.
