Halloween Horror Film Fest #21 The Shining (1980) This is the only Horror film I've watched this year that I had already seen, and in fact I've seen it a few dozen times. However, I had never shown it to my Dad. So we watched it together, I think he enjoyed it, but its hard to tell. He definitely commented on how incredible Nicholson is in this film. I have an inexhaustible amount to say about the film personally, so I'll revisit the topic in a proper Nostalgia Factor post on the website. I will say this here, the Apollo Moon landing conspiracy theory is fucking horseshit, and that documentary "Room 237" would have been far more interesting if it hadn't wasted so much time barking up that tree. Also Im about 125 pages from finishing the Stephen King novel, and I'm happy to report that I love it nearly as much as the Kubrick film.. . Nearly. #HHFF #HHFF15

Halloween Horror Film Fest #20 The Voices (2014) If ever I've seen a movie that couldn't find its own voice, it would be The Voices, which has a very difficult time maintaining a cohesive train of thought. It's moderately understandable what they were going for, but it really just doesn't seem to come together, and its resolution is highly unsatisfactory even if bizarre. So instead I'll judge The Voices for its moments, which are many and weird; one in particular involving a deer smashing through a windshield to be laugh out loud hilarious. An interesting visual style, but I'm left feeling conflicted. Pretty fucking weird though; I'll give it that. #HHFF #HHFF15
