CUT TO:
EXT. DAY- RAINING
INT. A LONE POOL HALL
Cassie walks to the pool hall, wearing her gray hoodie over her head, dazed with emotion. She comes inside and sits close to the window.
From afar, WADE(17), Katrina's adoptive brother, a tall, lanky boy with curly black hair with strange but defined features, is sitting at a round table smoking with his stoner friends. He notices Cassie sitting alone by the window. He gives off a mean look, feeling confused of why she's there. He walks up to her. Then Wade agressively slams his hand on the table and looks at Cassie, dead in the face.

WADE(threateningly)

What are you doing here?

CASSIE(takes off her hoodie)

Just sitting here. Why?

WADE

Nobody asked you to come here.

Cassie looks at the table where Wade's stoner friends are snickering.
　

CASSIE(defiant)

I can sit anywhere I damn please

WADE

Well, this is my territory. And I rather you leave

CASSIE

This is bogus. Is this about your sister, Wade? Because you're acting really idiotic right now.

WADE

You take my word for it. I have my own reasons of not liking you.

CASSIE

You didn't even really know me.

WADE

Would I need to know your life story?

Cassie grabs Wade's hand.

CASSIE(Threatingly)

Wade....get out of my face

Cassie pushes him away and goes towards the door.

WADE(taunting)

Don't come back here!

CASSIE

Screw you!

Cassie flips her hoodie on and walks deep into the smoky street.
　
INT. DANIELLE'S HOUSE-LIVING ROOM
Danielle is sitting in the dining room, reading a dictionary while her boyfriend, JEFF(18), a handsome, athletic boy with an edge to him, is watching t.v.

DANIELLE(annoyed)

Jeff, would you pay attention

JEFF

Oh....Sorry

DANIELLE

I know you feel nervous about the exams but we really gotta get on point with things

JEFF(coming on to her)

Why are getting all serious?

DANIELLE

It's just that I've been studying a lot this week

JEFF(sauve)

Maybe you should take a break

Jeff kisses Danielle hard, going into a deep, passionate make-out session.

DANIELLE(giggles)

Jeff, stop

The phone rings suddenly. Danielle hastily jumps up and grabs it on the table.

DANIELLE

Hello?

CUT TO:
CASSIE'S HOUSE-BEDROOM
Cassie is laying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, her mind racing with thoughts.

CASSIE(softly)

Hey Dani

CUT BACK TO:
DANIELLE'S HOUSE- LIVING ROOM

DANIELLE

Hey Cass, what's up?

CUT TO:

CASSIE'S HOUSE-BEDROOM
Cassie turns over to the bed, letting her emotions sink out.

CASSIE

Everything's okay. I hope I'm not interrupting something.

CUT BACK TO:
DANIELLE'S HOUSE-LIVING ROOM

DANIELLE(sorting out papers)

Oh no, I'm just really busy with studying...Jeff saw what happened at the pool hall.

　

CUT TO:
CASSIE'S HOUSE-BEDROOM

CASSIE

Hey, it's not a big deal. Katrina goes out all her way just to prove she hates me.

　

CUT BACK TO:

DANIELLE

She's just upset that's all. All of this will pass through.

CASSIE(other end)

Well.....I just wanted to hear your voice

DANIELLE

I know you did. I'm always here for you, Cassie. I'll keep in touch.

CUT TO:
CASSIE'S HOUSE- BEDROOM

CASSIE

Yeah okay. Talk to you later.

Cassie hangs up the phone and buries her head under the pillow.
CUT BACK TO:
DANIELLE'S HOUSE-LIVING ROOM
Danielle hangs up the phone, heavily thinking in thought.

JEFF

Is she okay?

DANIELLE

She's just going through a lot, lately. It'll be best if I'll tell you, later.

Jeff softly strokes Danielle's back.

JEFF(comforting)

She's going to be fine

DANIELLE

(sighs) I just don't want this thing to blow out of proportion.

CUT TO:
EXT. RAINING
INT. ABANDONED HOUSE
Wade and one of his stoner friend, JACOB, a stocky boy with long, messy hair, are walking around in a deserted neighborhood, apart from the rest of the town. It is known as a hangout spot for the kids where there are at least six broken-down houses down the road and through the woods, there is a closed-down warehouse. The two boy go towards the 2nd house of the three on the other side. Jacob stuffs a bong in his jacket and looks around as he enter the house.

JACOB

You sure there's no one on the lookout?

WADE

Come on man, this place is rigged. People barely go by this road.

The two boys enter inside, feeling the dusty atmosphere. Wade comfortably plops on the couch and lights up his bong.

WADE

The right kind of place to light my bong

JACOB(holds his nose)

Ugh, this place smells like shit.

WADE

That's the smell of comfort, my friend. (hands Jacob the bong) Wanna hit this?

The camera pans slowly to the left and outside of the house. Down the street, a black hooded figure is walking slowly in the rain. The figure stops and has it's eye on the second on the left row.
　
ABANDONED HOUSE-LIVING ROOM
Wade and Jacob is sitting on the couch, dazed with satisfaction from the armoa they smoked.

JACOB

Dude, where did you get this herb? I'm like blazin'.

WADE(zoned out, eyeing the bong)

The magic ingredients to this is kept secret, my man. (gets up from the couch, stumbles a bit)

I'm gonna go take a piss.

Wade goes off to the bathroom while Jacob sits back, blowing the smoke of his lungs.
Then a dark, looming shadow illuminates in front of Jacob, coming into full attention. Before he can react, the figure brutally slits his throat and rips it out with it's bare hands.
CUT TO:
ABANDONED HOUSE-BATHROOM
Wade checks himself out in the mirror, trying to see the red in his eyes. He turns on the sink and splashes water on his face, wiping the strong effect from the drug. The light blub suddenly flickers. Wade taps on it two times to keep the light steady. He focuses on the mirror and out comes behind....
The hooded figure with a baseball bat
CLOSE UP THE MYSTERIOUS FIGURE'S LIPS

HOODED FIGURE(soft female voice)

Hello, Joe.

Wade turns around and in a flash, the hooded figure whacks his jaw with the metal baseball bat. Wade goes down hard, spitting out blood pieces of his teeth. He looks up, helplessly, his eyes watering with pain. The hooded figure towers over him and pulls off it's hoodie. It is revealed to be....CASSIE! She makes an evil grin.

WADE(slurring)

Please......

CASSIE(condescending)

You're so....weak. You can't even hold your own without your patheic buddies around. Now that was one strike. (kneels down) Let's see if you can take more.

Cassie stands up, aiming her baseball above Wade. His eyes widen with fear.

WADE(muffled)

NOOOO!

Cassie repeatedly strikes him, blood splattered from wall to wall. She drops the baseball bat on the floor and walks off.

CASSIE(non-chantly)

Well, that job's done

Cassie slowly comes out of the house and into the pouring rain, washing the blood off her. She closes her eyes in extacsy. She takes off her jacket and bathes off what's left of the blood.

Movie Review: Freddy Vs. Jason

When I first watched this movie, I....I hated it. I hated it with a passion. I felt like it could've been much better than it was. So a couple of years went by and it suddenly became entertaining. For those of you out there, you have to look at this movie with an open mind. Being a Jason and Freddy fan, I could've expect something more but this is the best they can come up with: A typical teen slasher movie. Unfortunately, I read the earlier scripts and man, were they crappy. I wouldn't blame them for making their final decision, I mean it took years for the producers to make a good Freddy vs. Jason film, however, they still should've gotten better writers, more better developed characters, and more emotional depths on both of the antagonists.
So here's the story: Freddy sets out this plan to put back the fears of the elm street kids since the townspeople have long gone forgotten about him. So he resurrects Jason to be his dragon. Meanwhile, Lori and her friends are having a get together when suddenly one of her friends is murdered. Now, she's beginning to gain fear of freddy coming back which provides him to rise again, only to have Jason in the way, who is a non-stop killing machine. While freddy fights Jason to win the crown of best slasher villian, Lori, her long, lost boyfriend, Will and the rest of the remaining teens try to stop them before Springfield becomes a ghost town.
Monica Kenna did a great perfomance. At first, I thought she was a bit melodramatic, since she worked in a few teen dramas. But overall, she's a good actress. Jason Ritter also did a good job(not to mention pretty handsome), But I can tell he hasn't done a horror movie before just by looking at him. Kelly Rowland was actually good in her first acting debut, but her character was kind of annoying at times. Katherine Isabelle did a great job developing a rather bland, cliche character. chris marquette was adorable as the lovable, picked on nerd. Brandon Flecther gave a rather breif yet intense performance and not too bad on the looks deparment etheir.
The directing is very stylish, having the lighting tone of the two villains branch out their personalities. Jason is blue and melancholy, freddy is red and full of rage. Also blue meaning water and red meaning fire, which are their greatest weaknesses.
The story was good but could've had more plot to go along with the movie to make it much better than it was. Like what if the two main characters were releated to Freddy and Jason or what if the said town was actually a ghost town? The story could've been much more interesting and insightful. Nothing against this movie though, couple of years down the road they'll probably make a  live-action version of the comic book sequel but I doubt it since those pesky remakes are in the way. But just in case, hopefullly they'll make it just so the story could mesh well better. However, pretty entertaing slasher flick.
My last Word: Oh just watch it for the hell of it.

Movie Review: Texas Chainsaw Massacre(2003)

Now I for one can't stand horror movie remakes. Some are ok while some are just awfully bad and contrived. So what started this whole movie remake trend? Whose stupid idea multiply this to a pulp? Well, it all started in 1998. Gus Van Sant decided to remake the 1960 classic Pshyco. It was marketed as this big slasher bloodfest because you know stuff like that was getting popular. When it theaters to an unexpected audience, moviegoers were not pleased and the movie did terribly because it was a shot-for-shot remake which was unnecessary. So there was no more re-doings for a while until in 2003 when New Line Cinema released the much anticipated The Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot. It's a very grim psychological take on the  1974 shockfest. In my opinion, was a smart choice. To be honest, the original just seem like any other slasher film to me. It could be the scariest movie in the world but can it be for today's audiences? I don't think so. Because we've been there, done that. And the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is looked as a typical slasher movie whereas the remake dwells more deeper into the cannibalistic family, marketing as pschyloical horror.
So here's the story: It's 1973, a group of young adults are on their way to a lynard skynard concert. They soon pick up a traumatized, shaken young woman from the off the roadway. She begs and warns them to turn around, when they refuse, the girl in immediate distress, shoots herself, leaving the group in shock and panic. Soon right after, they receive help from the sheriff, who's aggressive, demeaning behavior disturbs them. To make matters worse, while going to a family house, two of the group members are chased by a crazed maniac with a chainsaw. Erin is the only who breaks free from the attack while one of her friends is wounded and captured. It is only up to her to save her friends from the bloodied clutches of the crazed maniac known as leatherface and his cannibalistic Klan.
Jessica Biel blew me away, putting so much depth into her character, making her one of the most memorable final girls in horror films. Just like Eliza Dushku, her middle name shall be badass. She is truly the star of this movie. Jonathan Tucker was so adorable as the funny, dorky guy. It's a shame seeing him killed in such a brutal way. Erica Leershen is good in one of her breakout roles. Mike Vogel sure does have a body on him. All wet and sweaty. And that hair! those golden blond locks swishing. Oh yeah, his acting. Well, this was one of Mike Vogel's first feature films after his male modeling gig and I was pretty distracted by his good looks. But otherwise, he was good in this. Eric Balfour was actually good in his brief scenes too, before getting whacked, not to mention a total hottie.
The directing is very creative, making the lightings dark and moody which matched the tone of the film. The scenes were suspenseful, believe me or not. Intense and hair-raising to default. What was really smart, they kept the plot in the 70's, putting realism into the mix.
Just to let you know, this is Inspired by a true not based. It was just a marketing ploy to hype up the audience. Overall, this was one of the best horror remakes of the decade. But to add insult to injury, this movie was the reason why we have so many shitty remakes, so there is always an agree to disagree.
My Last Word: A total must see!

Movie Review: Wrong Turn

Woah boy! This was definitely the movie to kick start the old school slasher genre. People were pretty smart about the marketing. You know in some movie trailer where they give out the shit right away, well in this one they don't exactly reveal the killers, it's only left to what you're guessing. Which is pretty cool, and that's what makes the movie scarier than it is.
So here's the story: A med school graduate is on his way to an interview, traveling way up to the smoky mountains of West Virginia. All of sudden, he crashes his car, colliding with a group of campers. Trapped in the middle of the wilderness, they try to find their way out only to come across some hungry hillbilly cannibals.
Eliza 'Badass' Dushku. That, is her new name. Boy, did she turn on the action as our honorary final girl. She was a tour de force. Desmond Harrington, gorgeous or what. Those intense blue eyes is his best acting features. *sigh* Jeremy Sisto. That curly hair. That handsome face. And he's such a sweet guy in this movie, so sad to see he didn't quite make it. And then there's his girlfriend with the annoying squeaky voice. Ugh. Good thing she got an axe right through her mouth. Oh but her actress was good by the way. Lindy Booth and Kevin Zegers we hardly knew ye.
Now let's get to the suspense scenes. Boy howdy, were they scary. But the one scene that was really hair-raizing was the escape scene, which is truly the most suspenseful ever. And the group watching their friend get eaten. Total frightfest there.
The story worked well like any slasher story. A group of friends get trapped in the woods but having two story arcs in the mix is second best.
Wow. Just wow. It's certainly a horror movie to watch. Great chase scenes, lots of gore, not so much character development but who cares, that's what old school slashers are made for.
My last word: A slasher funfest

Movie Review: Jeeper Creepers 2

To my knowledge this movie didn't deserve a sequel. But I'm not saying this is terrible. It's actually good and captures the suspense of the first film. But having a movie with this many characters and actually have the real main characters show up at the end is.....a problem. the pacing can be a bit slow sometimes and being trapped in a bus can be a vaulable time waster.
So here's the story: while going on a bus trip, a high school basketball team and it's cheerleaders get trapped in the middle of nowhere while the unforseen creature hungers for blood. Meanwhile a grieving father plans his revenge on the creature who killed his son. The kids must fight for survival just when the farmer take charge on his supernatural rival.
There was just so many characters I just can't catch up with who. I don't even know who the main characters are. There's two arcs in one story and it's hard to seperate the two. But otherwise, the acting is good.
Having two arcs in one story can be a bit of problem, however, it blended in well with the pacing and suspense scenes in tow.
As you know in sequels, they pretty much hyped up the action and body count. Which is kind of fun and at the edge of your seat.
So there you have it, a fun scary sequel that's pretty watchable.
My last word: An immense thrill ride.
