Ornate-- Horror Short Movie Review

PLOT SUMMARY: A man finds a picture frame that let's him see in another dimension. Except there's a faceless woman in this dimension.

A piece of the past can be so captivating. It can catapult you in a time that holds dear to your heart or fills you with the warmth of its memory.

Things can get quite disturbing if that memory isn't yours and the things you see ambush you. These things happen only in horror movies, of course...

ORNATE Plot with Spoilers

A man is sifting old photographs when he finds an ornate frame with a picture of a woman in a wedding dress. She is also faceless.

The man puts it aside but soon enough the woman tears through the thin barricade that is the photograph.

The man finds the empty frame on the staircase and picks it up only to find something odd when he looks through it.

The world beyond is in black and white. There are staircases where there shouldn't be, there are things that aren't there in his world. Worse, something is moving things around in the other dimension that does look like his house.

In the next instant, he sees the faceless woman charge at him he puts the mirror down but she isn't there.

And then just like that she is.

She wants him at all costs and so it isn't long before the man has the frame slapped to his face and he is sucked into the black and white world.

In the end we see a picture of him in the frame. And now he is the faceless man.

The movie is short, yet frightening in its storytelling. The effects are pretty good too.

Definitely worth a watch for all horror fans.

Scare Scale: 4/5

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer. Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Delirium (2018)— My take on the movie with spoilers!

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying. What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
