My Review

After watching this movie have to say this is very disturbing movie with some actors who I know in this one so why is this Disturbing movie of 70’s let’s start.

This took place in 1970’s and is called Devil’s rain the movie starts off with creepy intro and you see John Travolta you wonder what he doing in this from what I heard this was his first movie and boy did he put the makeup and look creepy so will talk about that in a bit in intro is creepy with good scary painting will say that good artwork to open it also you hear voices of people crying where it coming from not sure but I see many horror movies and to open with credits like this show you what ahead from what I been told many trap souls trap in devil rain.

Then we open up the movie where mark is looking for his father and well he shows up with no eyes or dark eyes then he said give him the book then he melting in rain and just turn into goo well least they don’t have to mop him up later now I know why they call it devil’s rain.

After mark mom gets Kidnapped she probably next to become one of them is my guess mark aka Willam shatner goes after Corbis who wants the book so we meet him later and you wonder why he in too the book well it has of power of Satan once they get in church this when more starts to get disturbing he then see his mom and yep she one of them mark try’s to run but he was outnumber after that the guy from green aces show up guess he a doctor or fake doctor we find out 28 mins tom skerritt who plays Tom goes looking for his brother.

Then we go back where there getting ready for mark to become one my guess this will lead them to the book Tom show up later looking for them and guess who shows up John Travolta attacks him I know that face with creepy mask on him then his girlfriend look into his eyes and see the truth on where corbis will be back he said took 3-5 mins but after that girl says better go and you hear them creepy voices again this why movie is disturbing too but what to comes it gets far more disturbing as well.

Then later we see corbis turn into a goat look like Ernest sure look creepy in that mask also a icon mask was born the one Willam shatner wear was later use for Halloween movies that Michael wear well least something came out of this so who it better even though Willam did look creepy in have to say Micheal wear it better.

Well last 15 mins we see mark break the devil’s rain which trapped so he does the right thing and free the souls or something then it starts too and everybody starts to meltdown even John starts to melt his first movie and he is melting it was 5 mins-7 mins meltdown must of been huge ending they were going with  after that just before it ended that was one heck of odd twist there at it it was said by a poster best movie ending ever to me it was ok but not best ending.

Well did I like this film it was disturbing one that for sure for story and it was creepy with masks with no eyes see John Travolta and Willam wear creepy masks was something also see them melt at end was disturbing do I think they drag the melting Scene too long at the end yeah it can remind of me gremlins movie with that it was scary some but them creepy voices was something as well acting was chessy so is this a horror movie I would watch again probably not unless I want to go back and watch John and Willam melt again just kidding but I will say this if you watch be careful it is very creepy movie of the 70’s that is for sure I am sure the Cast and crew mop it up after they were done with this movie.

I give the Devil’s rain (1975) a rating of 6/10 for creepy movie.

Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1965) Movie Review

 Starring………….. Peter Cushing , Neil Mcallum and. Ursula Howells

Director………. Freddie Francis

Synopsis

Five Passengers aboard a British train receive readings from a fortune teller, which predict the gruesome directions their lives will take.

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

Another week and movie Review for Horror movies so let see if I like or not this one from 1965.

This one is about five passengers on a tree who receives readings from a Fortune teller who seems creepy a little that there makes me think he something else then just a fortune teller and with cards put a deadly cure on all five of them or maybe he can see what there futures hold.

This is what interesting about plot your not knowing first guy story was going to house with a dark secret about the house and then in basement a waits a werewolf later then we find out who lady indeed is very creepy after that back to the train that what guy Predicted later on will happen but will it have to wait and see.

Now on to 2nd guy somehow plants are attack they even kill a dog which is odd sort of like attack of plants who later on trap them in house in a Odd way killer but as it was getting good back to the train so is stories of faction not sure.

3nd guy story will say gets creepy some I will say each predict does get more scary think this one has something to do with Voodoo curse or magic he may of curse for stealing words from a Ancient god or something he does take the warns and later it comes back to backfired or does it well that one was not too scary creepy as well back to the train they go.

I have a feeling all this predict will make Sense at the end hope so or else it will be a letdown is what I thinking anyway it is 4 guy turn so what his future he has something to do with paintings 🖼 my guess it is cure one guy lost his hand ouch in a car wreak and later hand attacks Peter sort of hand from Addams family

remind me of lol look out hand coming for you he does burn it but it keep coming back so he throw in river inside a box but again just as it getting good cut back to train.

Down to last one 5th and final one turn where I think he just brought a house for him and his wife or they just got married when he cuts himself her look like a vampire look see it before many times would be more scary if she turns into a bat I think so because when bat flys though window she by the window saying she cut her hand so that there give me a hint she is a vampire.but in the end of that story there was a twist that was a little creepy back to the train .

So was all this a game well guy hand 🤚 out cards just Disappeared and they land my guess in hell or somewhere they were dead what a odd ending for this movie.

Have to say not bad stories lead up to that odd ending I know it would end in a twist or a Strange ending which I have no clue how it will go at all my guess this was train ride to there deaths will say story was confusing some but will say good acting from Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as Dr. Terror in this one but I do wish for a better ending and what was next guess it ended up where they won’t have to go though stories and this was only way from it not happen not but odd writing will say this film is indeed worth checking out it was scary some but not a lot Is all I have left to say.

I give Dr. Terror’s House of horror (1965) a rating of 6.5/10 for good.

The Man in the Iron mask (1939) Movie Review

 Starring………….. Louis Hayward, Joan Bennett and Warren William

Directed by…………. James Whale

Synopsis

Four swashbuckling heroes plot to rescue the rightful King of France, imprisoned by his evil twin brother, Restore him to the throne.

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

A few years ago or longer I did a movie with same title as this one so run into this one on Tubi where I watched most of movies this one was release in 1939 so figure I check it out and see if it is good then 1998 one.

This one is same story but a lot more into story this time we see what happens when 2 twins sons are born to the king the king best friend or so thought it would be a danger to have 2 kings when they grow up for some reason they only go with 1 king and hide the other one is later on Prison by his brother so it is one evil twin and the other one is good so that what makes plot very interesting how this will go.

Years later the mean king is rule his land for evil rather then good tax poor people being a mean one that for it is something they raise him to be like that but later on they meet and king want him to be him for the day more like filling in for him So the good king gets to see what his brother has done and try iron out problems but try to not to let the evil king know what going on if so you know the evil king will do something.

Pretty much he using his brother to fill in for first half but later on he puts good brother in mask of iron because he wants more power to himself can of odd he used him just to later on

Prisoner him it was a sad moment and I was hope later on it will backfired on him.

Later on the hero’s do get the good king out of the mask and then he tells his brother how he feels now so he put him in iron mask now evil king gets to feel what it like to be put in a iron mask for a while he trying to tell everybody he the king but no one believes him but later on they do and he gets now they save best for last evil twin vs good brother well they did that little but it ended in a crash for evil brother in a wagon and a pretty good ending as well that where I would go for ended.

Overrate a lot better then 1998 version that was good movie but this one had more to story along with great ending would of like to see brother vs brother at the end but they didn’t go that way and just ended evil brother in a crash but that didn’t bug me this guy was evil all he cared about was power this good king will help out good this movie also has good acting as well if you like good acting this was indeed for you and this one is indeed worth checking out if you see the 1998 version as well.

I give the man in iron mask (1939) a rating of 8/10 for great

Little Annie Rooney (1925) Movie Review

 Starring………… Mary Pickford, Gordon Griffith and William Haines

Directed by William Beaudine

Synopsis

Mary Pickford wrote and stars in this lively tale of a tomboy and her big brother avenging the shooting of there 👮‍♂️ father.

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

Time for another Mary Pickford old movie review this time called little Annie Rooney from. 1925.

Film starts off in a funny way with her fighting with the kids in a fun food fight look like it was funny but all that food to waste ouch but this interesting her last film I see she was calm and stuff this one she throwing food I think it is and having a good time great start hope all her movies are this she is funny and great Actress as well as for films this did go one for another 15 mins after that she and kid started fighting unit a guy broke them 2 up from fighting I thought this was her brother but no just a guy passing though and thought it was silly see kid fighting a girl nice of him to care but it was not her brother was a nice 15 mins start funny.

Later on we meet her brother and dad there then later on police showing up and everybody who was in that fight got in trouble some interesting so I guess to make it up they must pay a price so to make money can of look like they are team up to do a play for town not a bad idea did not well but that was good comedy there.

Later on she got a nice cake going for her pa Birthday later on we see something sad happen to him as he gets shot very tough to watch policeman give her the news she was ready too it was indeed tough to watch now did get a nice brother and sister moment at the end of the Scene sure is something this movie started off fun but after father died turn into a another story very fast good writing there.

Now we have the brother trying to find the killer of his pa killer he later on blame on Joe for killing his pa so last 15-20 was trying to figure out killer is they do it was not Joe but his brother shot him because he did not know so interesting stuff going on at the end for the story she thinks she going to die by giving blood 🩸 to Joe guess this is her first time so she ask questions can of funny and little bit odd in my view anyway everything went well as movie ends with a good ending as well.

Have to say this another good Mary Pickford movie that I like it was good comedy movie at the start With the food fight there that went on for good 15 mins but it was indeed funny there but later on did change after papa was killed was very sad so story change very fast after that was interesting as well so not too bad there the ended was indeed great again Acting was good I wonder how old Mary was in this young I think if not she play role for good so indeed worth checking out this great film with the great Mary Pickford so was happy to review another one of her film hats off to her and cast for this good film.

I give Little Annie Rooney (1925) a rating of 7/10 for great

Director……….. Nathan Juran

Synopsis

The terrible and treacherous Pendragon plans to gain the throne of Cornwall by Getting the king to abdicate and merry his lovely daughter. A giant under his control abducts the princess,

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

Think this my first movie on the tale of Jack the Giant or maybe not did see a few other versions of the movie this one could be one of first of many tales most of time the first versions are the best so let’s see if I think that or no.

Well have too say good intro of movie and it’s the princess Birthday and she was giving a house with a Creature small who can dance cool but later on that will come to backfired on them as story gets interesting as bad guy used to his power to control the monster by a powerful Sorcerer evil one the Creature look good for clay motion good effects as well for a old movie well lucky Jack was around to help her as he took out the Creature for now because they would not take him out quick maybe they want to force on Pendragon more he is indeed powerful one and some how wants princess bad see that one before later on his somehow using effects monsters effects look like they look good and creepy.

Later on after getting her we see his plan unfold change her princess is now a queen that look a lot different under a spell she look like a evil queen good Costume but she was a lot pretty the other way and not this look but will say interesting for story because now you wonder how they build Jack up though the rest of movie and wonder how they change the princess back and face this powerful evil guy also I wonder how she reaction when they meet again to see if she remembers him. Once he does.

Have to say this is indeed good writing and storytelling as well the movie was great for acting as well just a fun Adventure movie and magic as well like the way it use for this one Costumes look great as well and that last 15 mins was fun too the guy in bottle was funny as lots of close calls though but in the end everything had a happy ending would of I love to see king reaction at the end yes but no need too it ended very good I would probably indeed watch this one again very great movie for 1961.

I give Jack the giant killer (1961) a rating of 8/10 for great

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

This week review will be review of 17 min film yes short film in history What’s to do Think this Shirley temple film debut too not sure will have to see anyway here what I think of this short 1933 film.

Starts off with class for high school President this indeed very old film but look ok for film picture here in 2022 this film is Rogers just win the President but dad got a job and wants to move to Seattle so his victory might be cut short unless he can somehow try to get his father to stay.

For a 17:49 mins  this was not bad funny as well the way he try to get out from leaving was funny don’t blame him he has everything here so he fake being sick in a funny way as well and it worked out and that how it ended.

Very short but funny comedy movie I must say Shirley temple look cute and funny in this think she was cute and funny this lead her to be a star in many movies was this first film she was in not sure but if it was a very cool film debut she was indeed cute and funny in this one is indeed worth checking out just like the film this will be short film review do I wish it was little bit longer yes but this was 1933 and most was short films but I was happy to review another Shirley temple film.

I give What’s to Do? A rating of 7/10 for funny short film
