He tries to find a replacement for her, but winds up killing the women. He tries to dispose of the bodies with

place some of them start seeing visions of a young girl & her doll. Once she keeps appearing strange things

awhile. Check this one out!!!

This is an old Lucio Fulci horror flick. The movie is about a deranged man who lives in the basement of a

ripped throats & even kills someone with a fireplace poker. He needs to restore his cells, this is why he does
the killings. He has maggots for blood, which is cool, huh? The film has some slow parts to it, but is still a
decent Lucio Fulci film. Fans of his other films will like this as well!!!

HOUSE OF WAX (PG-13) Warner Bros. (2005)

This is a remake of the 1953 Vincent Price film of the same name. A group of friends head out on a road trip
to see a football game. They find a place in the woods to camp out over night, when they are harassed by
some rednecks. They have car trouble & the rednecks take them to a small town close by. This is where the
House Of Wax is found. The town is very quiet & strange. They soon find out the people are all wax, but real
human bodies underneath. Two crazed brothers have captured everyone & turned them into wax figures. The
film was a lot better than I was expecting. It was slow at first, but then kicks in. There is some cool gory
scenes & the special effects are done very well. You even get to watch Paris Hilton die in a very brutal & cool
way. This is one worth watching a few times!!!

KING KONG (PG-13) UNIVERSAL PICTURES (2005)
Starring: Naomi Watts, Jack Black, Adrien Brody, Colin Hanks, Andy Serkis & more.
As soon as I found out that Peter Jackson was doing a remake of
KING KONG I couldn't wait to check it
out. The movie starts off in New York City in 1933. Naomi Watts is trying to become an actress & Jack
Black is a struggling film director. They meet up & he takes his crew to a remote place called Skull Island.
Once they are on the island they run into some natives who worship
KING KONG a gigantic sized gorilla.
Also on this island are dinosaurs & huge strange bugs. After they go on a crazy adventure to save Watts from
the gorilla, they capture him & bring him back to New York. Once he is put on display in a theatre he breaks
loose & wreaks havoc all across the city. Peter Jackson pretty much stuff to the original 1933 version of this
film & did an amazing job. There was plenty of action, comedy, special effects & more all through out. This
one is highly recommended to everyone to go see. It has something for everyone!!!
