Alrighty. So last week I decided that I don't need cable anymore. I've been tossing around the idea for awhile now. I have the movies-by-mail subscription that allows me to also watch loads of films online. With a combination of that and fear.net's free movies as well as basically being able to watch most network shows online what do I really need cable for? So tonight they come and take my dvr cable box away.
Anyways, the reason for telling you all this (if anyone really reads this blog) is that last night I had time to watch one more "on-demand" movie. Of course it had to be a horror flick. So there I was with the a hard choice to make. Do I go with an HD version of a favorite film or pick one that I haven't seen before that might be a stinker. Being the risk taker/man-with-no-fear that I am I chose a film at random.
The movie I watched was Breaking Dawn. The film is about a young medical student studying to be a psychiatrist. She is assigned a mental patient who she is supposed to "get through to" in 6 weeks time. However, the opposite happens and the patient shares his dellusional behavior with her. The tag line for the movie is quite fitting actually "A mind is a terrible thing to lose." Kinda clever huh!
This movie has some pretty intense scary scenes. There is one where the protagonist wakes up with a little old asian lady staring down at her speaking some foreign language. Freaky! I do have to say though that I had the M. Night type ending figured out after the first 15 minutes of the movie though.
Overall, I'd say as a horror film this one isn't half bad. That is unless it is the last horror film you get to see on cable.
