Salem's Lot



Salem's Lot - in which a large house in New England is creepy, and it freaks out this blonde guy so much, he makes a big deal about it to everyone. Omg, so, this whole, tiny town is creepy, and this one house is having a vampire delivered to it in the second hour of the movie, so, there's that to look forward to. Oh, good. I guess the first hour consists of scenes where people get acquainted cheating on their spouses. The protaganist, blonde author guy, keeps whining about how the house at the top of the hill is creepy. We know. That's where the vampire is being delivered. Also, there is a high school student who is also an amateur magician, but he is also trying to kill the vampire, once he gets there. There is a girl who is always following the author around, but she doesn't do much. Lives with her parents. Follows kids around, walks into evil houses without weapons.
    So, cool ass looking vampire shows up and starts to eat the whole town, turning adults and children into vampires along the way, so the exsanguination is exponential.  But the blonde author wants to stop him. So, he breaks into the house to slay vampire in his sleep, but the awesome kid has already beaten him to it, and is fighting the old guy antiques dealer ghoul when Blondie gets there. They defeat the bad guy, but have to go on the run, in South America, which they showed us at the beginning, but it was sooooo long ago, and we didn't have any idea what we were looking at because it didn't connect to anything in the first two and a half hours of the film. Mini-series. Whatever. The lady who got turned into a vampire has tracked them down, but Blondie slays her, too. I assume they stay off the grid, hunting vampires and using glowing holy water to do it. So. Boring.

Death Wish

Death Wish (1974) - in which the justice system fails a man who lost his family, and he goes off the rails in finding personal justice. I mean vengeance. Charles Bronson plays Paul Kersey, a husband and father and architect, who has a nice NYC life. One day, near the beginning of the movie, Paul's wife is murdered and his daughter is raped into a catatonic state, from which she will not likely recover. Sexist. Anyways, Paul is destroyed, so his boss sends him out to New Mexico, or another lawless state, for a 3 month long project. Paul does some recovering while he is out there, and is befriended by his big money client, with a big hat and big guns. Upon arriving back in NYC, Paul is disheartened to find his daughter in terrible condition, and his son-in-law coping poorly. There have also been no arrests in his wife's murder, as the police are very busy with a crime spree related to gang violence. Paul is a really sympathetic guy, and his pain is visible, and very real. So,...

Raw

Raw - in which France has the grossest veterinary school imaginable, and vegetarianism is the thinking woman's solution to the broken Greek system. Some skinny girl goes to the same veterinary school her older sister is currently attending, and her bitch sister doesn't even help her move in to the dorm she is sharing with a guy. Albeit a gay guy, but I'm assuming not all of the men in this coed dorm are gay. The first night the hazing begins, the freshmen are herded out of their rooms by threat of violence, and all of their mattresses are thrown onto the front lawn. It takes a surreal turn into gross-cinema discomfort at the rave they are all taken to and our tiny protagonist runs into her mean sister and is peer pressured into taking some club drugs. Things are just starting to get weird. Some kind of creepy things are happening, but it mostly just reminds me of the lonely horror of my college experience, except I wasn't peer pressured into eating a rabbit kidney, ...
