Incident In A Ghostland

A mother of two who inherits a house is confronted with murderous intruders on the first night in their new home and fights for her daughters’ lives. Sixteen years later when the daughters reunite at the house, things get really strange. (IMDB)

I was afraid to watch another psychological drama masqueraded as an horror movie. While there is definitely a psychological dimension to Incident in a Ghostland, it manages to stay on track instead of flooding our screens with slow scenes of crying faces on background of violin music.

The violence in this movie is sordid and it isn’t until the end that we can fully mesure what horror befell the two girls. This movie isn’t for everyone and should come with a warning for the recovering victims of abuse.

It was a good watch and while it was darker than I had expected, Pascal Laugier (the director of Martyrs) managed to avoid unnecessary drama and deliver a cold and uncomfortable horror film.

Also, I was very surprised to see Mylène Farmer playing a role in an horror movie. She was convincing and I only wish that we could see her more often.

Trivia : Actress Taylor Hickson suffered a gruesome facial injury when she crashed through a glass door while filming, resulting in 70 stitches. She later sued the film’s production company for the accident. (IMDB)

There’s Someone Inside Your House

The graduating class at Osborne High is being targeted by a masked assailant, intent on exposing the darkest secret of each victim, and only a group of misfit outsiders can stop the killings. (IMDB)

The movie is pretty decent, with a vibe of 90s films like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. There are a few great kill scenes, featuring well-executed gore and blood splatter. While it gets predictable, it’s still a fun watch for slasher fans.

The plot was nothing new but it had some fun twists, the killer wearing a 3D printed mask of their victim was a great idea. I just don’t get why they picked up that title as many of the killings happen outside people’s houses…

I’d suggest checking it out at least once. While it won’t become a classic, it’ll probably entertain your evening, just like many Netflix original horror flicks.

The War Within – 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition

Yep, we have 2 of these babies

A few days ago, it felt like Christmas… We’ve received our 20th anniversary collector’s edition of The War Within and, oh boy, we haven’t been disappointed!

The Collector’s edition in itself is the same as any other expansion, a beautiful big box with a few goodies inside, including the art book of The War Within. However, the 20th anniversary statue is absolutely gorgeous (and huge). The whole thing was very well wrapped and protected, you can see the details in the gallery below.

We’ve just been playing the entire week-end and we continue to enjoy the expansion very much. We’ve unlocked the world quests and we’ve both completed the Pathfinder achievement to unlock Steady Flight in Khaz Algar. All the zones are fantastic to explore, even if we both have a little preference for Hallowfall which is one of the most gorgeous place in the entire World of Warcraft.
