Never Talk To Strangers!


If there's one thing you can learn from this movie, its never talk to strangers! Yes, your mother was right...strangers can kill you, or at least these ones can. Based on a true story, The Strangers is about a young couple who plan on spending a romantic evening at their country home, but end up in a situation that neither of them had expected.

I'll have to admit the movie tended to move along a little slow for my liking, but other than that this movie kept my biting my nails waiting for what would happen next. I, like everyone else in the theater, wanted so badly for the couple to survive (Of course whether or not they survive is for you to find out on your own.)

The Haunting In Connecticut


Even though I am a huge fan of scary movies, this movie topped them all. Not only was it scary, but it had a great story line, and you can't help but drop a few tears. What makes The Haunting In Connecticut that much scarier is the fact that it is based on true events.

The Campbells have a son who has a terminal illness, and the only hospital that can treat him is in Connecticut, hours away from their home. Seeing their son in a great amount of pain, the family decides to buy a house 
in Connecticut. They find a house that seems too good to be true, and they later find out that it is.

Although it started out somewhat slow, as the plot thickened, so did the suspense. You were left guessing what would happen next the whole time, and each character had a story to tell. This movie is great to watch with your significant other, because this is a movie even guys have to admit is scary and touching. Whether they will admit it out loud to you is a different story, but trust me...they will  be scared.
