Sorry for no blog last weekend due the fact that I was busy with Boston Red Sox basebal and the fact that I'm feeling happy of Red Sox winning the World Series again, in my lifetime. With that said, here are the remaining two movies of Horrorfest 2007.

Horrorfest 2007
Dark Corners
Dark Corners is about a young troubled woman (Thora Birch) who wakes up as a totally different person. Soon, her typical conscious world and unconscious world will collide as she begins to be haunted by visions that are so horrifying. She then begins to wonder, if these visions are just fragments of her imagination or something that put her in danger. The film is directed by first time writer/director Ray Gower and Toby Stephen co-star in the film. Dark Corners is very intelligent and creepy film that has the feel of a David Lynch film. I thought Ray Gower did a really good job with this film. I thought the screenplay was very good, as the characters were interesting and a story that kept my attention leading up to it shocking ending. Gower also did a nice job with the direction of the film, as the set pieces were creepy along with the action making the film frightening. I thought Thora Birch's performances were very good, as she plays both of her characters very well. She pulls it off very well in the film, as it must have hard work to portray two characters that are very different from each other. Dark Corners is a frightening European horror film, which never eases up on its dark tone and creepiness. 4Stars. Not Rated. 95 Mins.
The Cradle
The Cradle is about a married man named Frank (Lukas Hass) who's wife and son become mysteriously ill when they move into an isolated town. He begins to find out that a vengeful sprit maybe the cause of the illness. Soon he is pushed to the point where he hat to find a way out of this madness, in order to save his family. With the exception of a few scenes, The Cradle was an un-suspenseful and slow moving film. The film felt like a film that was made for television. Most of the problems with this film were the fact that there were too many scenes with no dialogue or any sort of action, which made the film boring. Also, the characters in the film were uninteresting and lifeless at times. If you are looking for an entertaining supernatural film, then The Cradle is not it. 1 Star. Not Rated. 107 Mins.
That it for this short edition of The Anthony T Movie Blog. I should be back weekend, as I have a couple of movie that I've been meaning to get to and I'll let you my favorite film of Horrorfest 2007, in my DVD Pick of the Week. Until then, Have a happy and safe Halloween.
