Jigsaw and Amanda's Favourite TV - Dexter.

Well, there are so many TV shows on at the moment that it is hard to decide what to watch. We watch a lot of TV and some of the shows are crap and others are very good. I like a good story and good characters. The first show that we like is Dexter. It is based on a series of books by Jeff Lindsay and it began in 2006. There have been seven seasons so far and the final season begins soon.

The main character is Dexter Morgan played by Michael C Hall who is a bloodstain pattern analyst who works for Miami Metro Police. He is very good at his job and very clever. He was adopted by a cop called Harry Morgan(James Remar) who found him at the scene of his mother's murder and took him in. He still talks to Harry who appears as an advisor throughout the series even though he is dead.His sister is Debra Morgan played by Jennifer Carpenter and she is a cop too. She is foul mouthed and is a tomboy. She dresses like a guy most of the time and can be tough when she wants to be. The only gripe I would have about her is that Carpenter is way too skinny but that's just my opinion. Dexter works with another analyst Vince Masuka played by C.S.Lee. He is a pervert and is always talking about sex but is harmless. Angel Batista is played by David Zayas and he is a detective at Miami Metro. He is a good cop and he is good friends with Dexter and Debra. He is divorced and he misses the company of women and confesses to be lonely.Lieutenant LaGuerta is played by Lauren Velez is a no nonsense woman who will do anything to further her career. She does not like Debra and wants to keep her down. She likes Dexter.

The first season, Dexter is working away at his job but we find out that he is a serial killer who disposes of those evil people who the police cannot get. He takes them and secures them to a table with plastic wrap and then stabs them through the chest with a knife. He disposes of them in the sea. He
has a boat and that comes in handy for his dumping of bodies.He chops the victims up and throws their bodies in the water thus getting rid of the evidence. Of course, the bodies are found and the cops have an investigation on their hands. Dexter has a girlfriend called Rita(Julie Benz) and she has two children, Cody and Astor who Dexter gets on well with. He is with her in the beginning as a front. He needs to appear normal to the outside world. He has little feelings for her but after a while, he begins to like her and they marry. She is totally oblivious to his serial killing and she never discovers it. She wonders where he goes off to at night when he is hunting victims, but she is never suspicious of him killing.

The series always has one bad guy who Dexter is trying to get. In season 1, it is The Ice Truck Killer who turns out to be Dexter's brother and whom he kills. The cops find his bodies in the second season and they begin the search for the Bay Harbour Butcher, not knowing that Dexter is him! Dexter has a nemesis at the police station called James Doakes(Erik King) and he suspects that Dexter is not as innocent as he seems. He follows him around and eventually discovers the truth. Dexter has to get rid of him so he makes Doakes look like he is the Bay Harbour Butcher and he gets killed in an explosion so nobody learns about Dexter's secret. Season Three,Dexter finds a friend Miguel Prado(Jimmy Smits) who is an assistant DA and who shares Dexter's dark impulses. He wants to kill bad guys too. Dexter and Miguel become close friends until he crosses him and Dexter murders him. He also gets married to Rita in this season.

Season Four starred John Lithgow as serial killer Trinity. He was really good in the part as the creepy Arthur Mitchell. He has a family who he terrorises and he meets Dexter and they become pals until he realises that Dexter is out to get him. He kills Rita as revenge and Dexter murders Arthur. Arthur was a very clever man and it was hard for Dexter to get him. He was an even match for him and it was a very good season with the cat and mouse games they played with each other. Lithgow played the part very well. Rita had a baby with Dexter called Harrison and now Dexter has to be a single father to him and Rita's other two children.They eventually leave to live with their grandparents. Season Five finds Dexter rescuing a woman called Lumen(Julia Stiles) from a group of rapists. He finds her when he murders a man and she is his captive. She thinks that he is out to hurt her, but he doesn't kill her. He takes her away from there and she tells him what happened to her. She was a victim of rape by a group of men who like to film their antics. Then they give the women to a creepy sanitation worker who kills them. Dexter kills him and then he and Lumen get the other guys in the group one by one. The hardest one to get is a guy called Jordan Chase(Jonny Lee Miller) who is the head of the rape ring. Dexter and Lumen become very close and he is sorry when she leaves after killing all of the men who hurt her.

Season Six was very good and it revolved around killers called the Doomsday Killers. They are two guys who kill to bring about the Apocalypse. They are Travis Marshall(Colin Hanks) and Professor Gellar (Edward James Olmos) and they work together creating scenes from the Bible.Dexter finds Travis and he tries to get him to turn against Gellar as he thinks that Gellar is the brains of the outfit. He doesn't realise that Travis has killed Gellar and has been seeing him in hallucinations and he believes that he is still alive. He kills Travis but is caught by Debra who cannot believe what she is seeing..Season Seven sees Debra struggling with the news that her brother is a serial killer. She helps him cover up the murder of Travis Marshall but LaGuerta is suspicious and starts investigations. She is also trying to bring up the Doakes case to prove his innocence. Dexter meets a woman called Hannah McKay(Yvonne Strahovski) who has a dodgy past and they become lovers. She tries to poison Debra though and that is the end of their relationship as Dexter gets her put in prison. She escapes though and he whereabouts are unknown.Laguerta discovers the truth about Dexter and wants Debra to kill him but Debra shoots her instead. That brings us to the 8th season which will be starting the end of June. It should be a great finale I hope.

The series is very good and Hall is great as the main character. I like Dexter and his double life is interesting. He is a clever guy who takes care of the baddies who the cops can't touch. I like his sense of justice and he has had some close shaves where he got into trouble. I think that he will have to be found out sometime and I am not sure if they will end the series with him going to prison but I think that it would be better if he continues on his path. There were some really good actors in this. I liked Jimmy Smits, John Lithgow and Colin Hanks not to mention Jonny Lee Miller as the creepy Jordan Chase. It is a great TV series and I recommend it to anyone. I am just waiting for the next season! I hope you liked my quick synopsis of the show. Obviously, I don't have time to go into every storyline so this is just a fraction of what happens! Watch the series if you haven't seen it and you will enjoy it...

Hatchet for the Honeymoon Movie Review 289

Hatchet for the Honeymoon is a 1970 Italian horror movie directed by Mario Bava and starring Stephen Forsyth.
 

John Harrington(Forsyth) is a wedding dress designer and he lives with his wife Mildred. He hates her and their marriage was one of convenience. They fight all the time and she won't give him a divorce. He employs young women in his business to model his clothes and some of them have disappeared. All of the women who have gone missing were going to be married. There is some mystery in his past and he needs to murder the brides to be in order to find out the answers. The local inspector is very suspicious of John as all of the missing women worked for him.

John kills another of his models when she says that she is leaving to get married. When Mildred annoys him once too often, he kills her too! Then he buries her in his greenhouse but she comes back! She tells him that she is going to be with him forever and never leave him alone. He takes her dead body and puts it in the incinerator and burns it. He puts her ashes in a bag and throws it into the river. He thinks that that will put an end to her, but he is wrong. Meanwhile, one of his employees, Helen likes him and she and John become very friendly. He kisses her and they get close. He tells her to go away as he is afraid that he will hurt her. He doesn't realise that she has been planted by the inspector and he gets caught when he is going to kill her. He is taken away to an insane asylum and who is waiting for him only Mildred and she tells him that he is the only one who can see her and that she will be with him forever!!!

An interesting horror/thriller and it is not very gory. I liked the story and it was a good offering from the man who brought us A Bay of Blood...I would recommend it as a horror fan and there is some interesting 70's fashion on display!!I will give it a 6/10.

Final Exam Movie Review 288

Final Exam is a 1981 horror movie directed by Jimmy Huston and starring Cecile Bagdadi and Joel S.Rice.

At a college, kids are being murdered by some unknown person. It is the week of final exams and there are plenty of pranks being played around the college. The killer drives around in a van and he has his eyes on some of the college kids for his victims. They all begin to die in horrible ways as the killer stalks the campus. The Sheriff has his hands full with pranks and then the killer too. He thinks that the kids are all playing tricks and calling in the cops for fun. He decides that he has had enough and won't come to the college when they call him about real killings.

The kids are dropping like flies and the killer has his sights set on all of them. One of the college students, Courtney(Bagdadi) comes face to face with the killer. He chases her all over the campus and she has to try and get away from him. He almost kills her, but she gets to him first and kills him. The movie ends with Courtney coming out of the college and sobbing over her dead pals. This movie was okay. I found it a by the numbers slasher, but it is not rubbish by any means. It is entertaining and worth a watch if you like 80's slasher movies like I do. I will give it a 5/10.

Red Canyon Movie Review 287

  
Red Canyon is a 2008 horror movie directed by Giovanni Rodriguez and starring Norman Reedus(The Walking Dead),Justin Hartley(Smallville) and Christine Lakin(Step By Step).

The movie begins in Cainville, USA and a brother and sister go into a cave. The sister, Gina(Lakin) is attacked by a man while her brother, Devon(Tim Draxl) has to watch. Years later, Gina and Devon are back with their friends to sell their mother's house after her death. There are many bad memories for Gina and she is taking a long time to get over her attack.Devon is her protector and his girlfriend, Terra(Katie Maguire) thinks that he should let Gina get over it herself. The other two friends are Tom(Hartley) who is a pretty boy and Samir(Ankur Bhatt). They reach the house and then go out to the local bar where they encounter some familiar faces. Mac(Reedus) is a nasty piece of work who cannot be trusted and Harley(Noah Fleiss) who likes Gina.

The story is basically that Mac is a psycho and he tries to kill them and his dad Walter wants to buy the house from them. Anyway, they get attacked by Mac and he goes mad killing them. The ending is very complicated and all of the skeletons come out of the closet. Mac and his pal were running a drugs lab in the cave when Gina, Harley and Devon turned up. They were messing around when Mac and his pal decided to rape Gina and attack Devon. But Devon isn't squeaky clean and he turns out to be a pervert too in the end when he rapes his sister. Weird stuff. Not a great movie. I liked Norman Reedus, but that was it. Nothing special about this low budget horror/thriller. Give it a go but be warned that the ending is a bit of a downer... I will give this a 4/10.

Don't Let Him In Movie Review 286

Don't Let Him In is a 2011 British horror movie directed by Kelly Smith and starring Sophie Linfield,Sam Hazeldine and Gordon Alexander.

She escapes, but he follows her, cornering her at a farmyard. She fights with him and they end up impaled on a spike together....

An okay movie with some interesting bits. It isn't what I would call scary really and some of the characters aren't great, but it was entertaining for a while. Nothing special, but if you like British horror then give it a try. I am rating it a 4/10.

Bloody Birthday Movie Review 285

Bloody Birthday is a 1981 horror movie directed by Ed Hunt and starring Susan Strasberg and Julie Brown.

Three babies are born during an eclipse in 1970 at the start of the movie.Cut to ten years later and a couple are canoodling in the graveyard when they are murdered by unknown assailants and buried.
Sheriff Brody goes to the local school to talk to young kids about the murders.A skipping rope was found at the crime scene and he wants to know if any of them own it. Nobody does. Joyce(Lori Lethin) is a teaching assistant and she asks her little brother Timmy(K.C. Martel) is he saw anything suspicious. He tells her that he didn't. Three of the kids in Timmy's class are a bit dodgy. They are Debbie,Curtis and
Steven who were all born on the same day during an eclipse. What nobody knows is that they are a kiddie killing crew and they take their aggression out on anyone who annoys them.

Timmy discovers their secret and they try and kill him. He tries to warn others but the idea is so far fetched that people don't believe it. Timmy tells Joyce and she eventually believes him. They are now the targets of the psycho trio and they have to try and escape from them. Debbie and her two goons come for them and they have to fight them off. They manage to call the cops and Curtis and Steven are taken away. Debbie, however, is not. She and her mother go into witness protection and they have changed their names etc. They are on the road to their new life and are stopped at a gas station.Debbie has just murdered someone and heads off with her mother proving that she is just an evil ten year old and the killing will continue!!This was an entertaining take on the normal slasher movie and I found it funny with the kids running around killing people. It seemed a bit silly, but good fun and it was different from the usual horror movie so I would recommend it. It is worth a watch and I did have fun  so I will give it a 5/10.

Waxwork Movie Review 284

Waxwork is a 1988 horror/comedy movie directed by Anthony Hickox and starring Zach Galligan and Deborah Foreman.

The movie begins with a new waxwork museum opening in town. Some of the local college kids are invited in by the mysterious owner, David Lincoln(David Warner). They decide to go. Basically the movie is about the displays in the museum. They are all horror scenarios such as The Mummy and Phantom of the Opera. Local people are disappearing around town and Mark(Galligan) and Sarah(Foreman) discover that their friends have been sucked into the displays and are caught in the scenario then turned into waxwork figures. They go to a man called Sir Wilfred(Patrick Macnee) who was a friend of Mark's grandad and he tells them that Mark's grandad collected belongings of evil people and that Lincoln stole them and is using them to bring the baddies to life.

Mark and Sarah have to go back to the waxwork museum and burn it down.The owner sees them and pushes Mark into a zombie display and he is pursued by the undead. Sara enters a display of the Marquis De Sade and she finds that she doesn't want to leave. Mark realises that if he says he doesn't believe that the waxworks are real, they have no power over him. He gets out of the display and goes to rescue Sarah. The Marquis is not happy and tells Mark that he will get revenge. Sarah and Mark have to confront the owner and the displays which are coming to life. They end up killing all of them and they head off thinking that that is the end of it, but they don't see a hand from one of the displays escaping and running off..

An entertaining and harmless horror movie from the 80's, this was fun to watch. I enjoyed all of the different displays and I liked the idea of people getting sucked into them. I would recommend this to anyone, it is worth a watch. I will give it a 5/10.

Dead Snow Movie Review 283

Dead Snow is a 2009 horror movie from Norway.It is directed by Tommy Wirkola.

The movie begins with a girl called Sara being chased through the mountains by something which eventually catches up with her and kills her. Cut to her pals coming up to a cabin for Easter vacation.
It is out in the middle of nowhere. They expect to meet Sara at the cabin, but she is nowhere to be seen.
They decide to wait for her to catch up with them, thinking that she is just delayed. That night, a strange hiker calls to their door. He is weird and he tells them a story about the area they are in. In World War Two, the Germans used the local town as a base. They were led by an evil guy called Herzog and they abused and mistreated the locals.Near the end of the war, the Germans took every bit of silver and gold from the locals until the townspeople rose up and killed a lot of them. Herzog and a few of his elite soldiers escaped into the mountains and were never found. It was assumed that they froze to death.He tells them that there is evil in the mountains. They think that he is nuts. He heads on his way and sets up his tent. He gets a visit from a nasty zombie and is killed.

Meanwhile, Sara's boyfriend, Vegard(Lasse Valdal) decides to go and look for her. He finds the hiker dead and realises that something is really wrong. He sees footprints in the snow and heads back to tell the others. One of the others, Erlend, finds a box full of gold in the cabin. It must have belonged to the Germans. One of them takes a coin from the box and puts in his pocket. Vegard falls through a hole in the snow and ends up in a cave. The rest of them in the cabin come face to face with German World War Two zombies! They try and fight while Vegard looks around the cave and finds Nazi stuff and Sara's severed head. The others fight the zombies while two of the girls escape and try and make a run for the car. One of them gets caught and the other, Hanna, fights off the zombies. Two guys are left, Martin and 
Roy and they come face to face with Herzog and his minions. They fight and fight but Roy is killed and
so is Hanna. Martin is the only one left and he realises that the zombies want their gold. He gets it for them and gives it to Herzog and he gets away. Unfortunately for him, he had a gold coin in his pocket and Herzog shows up at the car and gets him..

A very entertaining movie. I liked it and it was comedic in parts. I liked the fact that the zombies were Nazis which made them even more detestable. A well made horror movie and one I would recommend. I will give this a 7/10.

The Devil's Carnival Movie Review 282

The Devil's Carnival is a 2012 horror movie short directed by Darren Lynn Bousman who is famous for his contributions to the Saw movie franchise. It stars Sean Patrick Flanery(The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles),Briana Evigan(Mother's Day),Jessica Lowndes(90210) and Paul Sorvino(Goodfellas).

This film is a horror/musical which is unusual. It begins with the Devil reading through Aesop's Fables and telling three stories of three people who have landed in Hell after dying. They find that they  have tickets to The Devil's Carnival. There are lots of carnival performers who want to be in the 'show' but only a few are picked. The ticket collector meets them and explains the rules. They split up and the first one who participates is Ms. Merrywood(Evigan) who is a jewel thief. She gets carried away and she ends up playing a game with the carnies. She has to toss a coin to win a huge diamond, but she can't win and all of her jewellery is taken from her and then her clothes. She ends up being whipped in front of an audience and this is her fate.

The next story is Tamara(Lowndes) who is too trusting. She meets a charming man who leads her on and gets her to participate in his knife throwing games. She thinks that he is very handsome and charming so she does so. He straps her to a wheel and she trusts him as he throws knives at her, but she shouldn't because he throws one into her chest, killing her. Her fate has been sealed. Lastly, John(Flanery) is looking for his son. John committed suicide. He wanders around and finds his son sitting with the Devil.
They talk and John realises he is damned until he tells the Devil that he wished that his son was never born. The Devil releases him and sends him up to Heaven where he meets God(Sorvino). The Devil then tells his carnies that they are preparing for a battle with Heaven..He wants to get rid of it once and for all..
There is a post-credits scene where Tamara meets the Devil and he seduces her and she trusts him which  means she is repeating her stupid sin once again.

This wasn't my type of movie. I liked the premise, but horror/musicals aren't for me. I didn't like it really and I wouldn't watch it again. I didn't enjoy it much so for that reason I am giving it a 2/10.

The Walking Dead, Season 3 Finale!

 Episode 16 begins with The Governor giving his own brand of punishment to Milton after he allowed Andrea to leave and warn the others. He wants him to kill Andrea and he hands him a knife to do it. Milton won't and he tries to kill The Governor instead but fails. The Governor stabs him in the stomach and he leaves him to die and turn into a walker with Andrea in the room handcuffed to a chair. Cut to the prison and Rick and the others are going to leave the prison. Daryl and Carol talk about the sacrifice Merle made for them. In Woodbury, The Governor gets his men together and gives them a talk about the enemy.Tyreese and Sasha stay behind to guard the women and children.

The Governor and his men attack the prison but Rick has a trap set for them and they get spooked and The Governor's men abandon the attack. Milton tells Andrea to get out of the workshop before he turns. He had dropped a pliers earlier on before he was stabbed and left it for her to escape. The Governor turns on his troops and kills most of them in anger at their disloyalty. He misses one -Karen and she survives. The Governor heads off with the rest of his men.Rick and the others are going to Woodbury to get The Governor and his pals. They come across Karen who tells them what happened with The Governor and how he killed most of his men. They take her with them to Woodbury and Rick meets Tyreese and Sasha.

Andrea is stuck in the workshop with Milton who turns. We see her trying to escape and then we hear screams and the sounds of a struggle. Rick talks to Tyreese and tells him what happens and they let them in. They go inside to find Andrea and a dead Milton. Andrea has been bitten and she needs one of them to kill her. She tells them that she only wanted to keep everyone alive and that she is glad that they are all okay. Michonne stays with her and the others leave as she says goodbye. Rick gives her a gun and they hear it going off  inside the workshop. The last few minutes of the episode, we see Rick and the others bringing back the vulnerable people from Woodbury. They are going to join their group. Rick realises that the ghost of Lori has finally disappeared. 

A good episode, but the ending was somewhat lacking in excitement. I was also wondering about the trap that The Governor walked into. It seems as if it was too obvious and I don't believe that he would be so stupid as to walk into it. The Governor retreated WAY too easily and his men didn't attack the prison properly at all. It was a bit disappointing as The Governor is a great character and I thought that there would be a proper face off....Maybe they are saving it for the next season! All in all, a very good season and I am looking forward to the next one!

The Evil Inside Movie Review 281

The Evil Inside a.k.a. Dead Inside is a 2011 horror movie directed by Pearry Reginald Teo and starring
Hannah Ward, Matthew Mercer and Rayne Bidder.

The movie begins with Sarah(Ward) who has some psychological problems. She takes pills and she spends a lot of time staring into space. She is having some friends around for a party. She wanders around the house looking miserable with no lights on and stares a family pictures. Her friends arrive and the party begins but she is not in the partying mood. She tells them that they are all going to die and she can foresee their deaths. She sees what will happen to each of them. Her pals are not happy with this and they are going to leave when she tells them that she was just joking around. When one of her friends does die, then it becomes real and they wonder who will be next.

They begin to drop like flies and it is apparent that someone is killing them. Is it Sarah? It builds up to an obvious ending, in my opinion. Sarah is mentally ill after killing a friend who made fun of her. Her parents come to see her and she goes crazy, telling them that she killed people and they are all dead etc. She is in an institution and she is just mad, They are all figments of her imagination and the whole thing was in her mind. This film was awful. The acting was bad, the dialogue was bad, there were no scares and it was just so poor. Avoid this one at all costs. It really is rubbish. It gets a 1/10.

American Horror Story, Season 2 Finale!

This episode begins with psycho Johnny breaking into the ruin of Briarcliff and listening to his mother's book on tape. He thinks that his dad, Dr. Thredson was murdered by his mother who never wanted him and that she kept him from being with his dad. He is revealed as Bloody Face who was killing people in the abandoned asylum. We cut back to 1971 and Lana and her crew are in Briarcliff to do an expose about the appalling conditions inside. They get footage and she looks for Sr. Jude's files. She finds out that that she was released into the care of Kit Walker. She goes to visit Kit and he tells her that Jude did stay with him for six months and she eventually met the Angel of Death and was taken away.

Back to present day and Lana is being interviewed about her life and career. The subject of Briarcliff comes up and she expresses regret over not getting Jude out sooner. She tells them that she lied in her book about her baby. She said that he had died when in fact, he was adopted and she saw him once. She tells them that Kit had cancer and disappeared. He was taken by aliens. The Monsignor killed himself over the horrible treatments in Briarcliff. Johnny is lurking in the background and listening to all of this. He approaches her after the interview is over and she is alone. He pulls a gun on her and tells her how much he hates her. She tells him that she was sorry etc about what happened and gets him to put down the gun. She then shoots him dead. End of season. 

I liked this season of American Horror Story. It is good the way that the same cast are back but with different characters. It was interesting and I liked some of the stories. I am looking forward to the next season which is called Coven so I am guessing there are witches in there somewhere!!

The Walking Dead, Season 3, Episode 14 and 15

Episode 14 begins with The Governor who is preparing some items in his workshop. Milton talks to Andrea and tells her that there is no hope of a truce between Rick and The Governor. He and Andrea look at him in his workshop and he is setting up a torture chamber. Andrea is disturbed by this. She is beginning to see him as he really is. Andrea is going to shoot him but Milton stops her telling her that if he dies, others will take over who are no better and that will not make things better. He advises her to make a run for it and warn Rick and company at the prison. Andrea goes to head over the wall. Tyreese and Sasha are guarding the perimeter and they try and stop her. She tells them that The Governor is not what he seems and that they should realise it. She leaves and they tell The Governor who makes them think that Andrea is crazy. He decides to go after Andrea and kill her.

Andrea is followed by The Governor and he tracks her to a warehouse and tries to kill her. She lures him into a trap and leaves him to face loads of walkers. Thinking that he is dead, she reaches the prison and she is just going to shout to Rick when she is caught by The Governor who somehow survived the walker onslaught. Cut back to Woodbury and The Governor talks to Milton and Tyreese about Andrea and tells them that he didn't find her and that he hopes that she is still alive. She is in his workshop bound and gagged and waiting for whatever The Governor has planned for her....

Episode 15 begins with Rick deciding to hand over Michonne. He tells Hershel who is not happy and Daryl who agrees to support him. He then tells Merle who doesn't think that Rick will do it. Rick does change his mind and doesn't tell Merle who goes ahead on his own. He knocks out Michonne and takes her off. Daryl realises this and he follows them. Merle and Michonne talk about it and he tells her that he 
is an outsider and so is she, He sets off a car alarm by mistake and draws a loads of walkers on them. He sets Michonne free and they fight them. He then tells her to go back. He has something to do alone. He heads off and tries to kill The Governor, but gets caught.

Daryl meets Michonne and she tells him what happened. He goes to look for Merle. Glenn and Maggie get engaged. Rick tells everyone that all decisions are to be decided as a group. He tells them about Michonne and Merle taking her. Michonne arrives back.Daryl looks for Merle and finds him- as a walker. He has been killed by The Governor and has turned. He has to kill him and he does so then cries...
Two good episodes. It is a pity that Merle was killed off, I liked his character and preferred him to most of the other characters in the show....
