Horror Movie with a Brilliant Twist...

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2014)

I'm not really a fan of horror movies, because mostly they only scare me the first time I watch it, and watching it another time just proves to be ineffective simply because the scare factor is gone. However, this movie proves to be one of the rare exceptions. I've watched it 3 times already and still haven't gotten over it, probably never will. Usually I find horror movies like a bad nightmare, once I go through with it, it's just like I woke up with no recollection of what happened. But this movie really sticks, and I wouldn't mind watching it over and over again. The scare factor has already long gone after watching for a few times, but this movie is a blend of many things, which make it so memorable and entertaining to watch again. I think the concept and idea behind this movie is really different. It dares to break away from typical horror movies, comes in from other angles and projects interesting perspectives. There were times I thought whether I was watching a horror movie or not. Some scenes were simply brilliant and hilarious, where the fear and suspense could just instantly change into something funny to lighten the mood and ease all the tension. I particularly enjoyed watching the final parts of the movie, where all the monsters and unspeakable creatures were released and all hell breaks loose. I really rooted for the monsters this time, as there were so many of them showcasing their individuality and creative ways of killing. I really applaud the film crew for their creativity in assembling so many impressive monstrosities under one roof, making it a free for all killing spree that was truly entertaining and satisfying to watch. All I can say is this movie is a truly refreshing experience, as there are so many layers to it and different ways to interpret it. The ending kind of leaves everything open for debate, whether it's worth it to sacrifice a few lives to ensure all of humanity's existence, or all of humanity is too corrupted and deserves to be wiped out to start anew. I really think this horror movie is unlike any other, and all horror movie enthusiasts should definitely watch it at least once. It made me ponder on things, hope it does the same for you too.
