'Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave' (Movie Review)

The Return of the Living Dead movies have always been some of my favorites. The overall silly-ness and blood and guts really makes this sequel one of my favorites. 
A college boy discovered two mysterious canisters hidden away in his uncle’s basement. Curious to know what was inside, he had his friends run some tests on the barrel in the lab, only to find out that the canister contained a deadly chemical. Thinking it was just a new type of hallucinogenic drug, they mass produce the chemicals into pill capsules and start selling them to their fellow classmates. As the days progressed, and more and more kids start dying, they finally figure out what the chemical really is; the answer to re-animating the dead, or turn humans into brain hungry zombies.
The first of the Return of the Living Dead series was released in 1985, and is still a better film than this. I did enjoy “Rave to the Grave”, but it just doesn’t hold up to the original three. 
That being said, I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars.

'Prowl' Movie Review (2010)

Prowl is a 2010 American horror film about a young girl who dreams of escaping her small-town life and encourages a group of her friends to accompany her. On their way to the big city, however, their van breaks down and they’ve decided to hitch a ride in the back of a semi-truck. Everything has been fine for a while, until the driver refused to stop. That’s when the group of friends discovers cartons and cartons filled with blood. As the truck takes them to a dark, abandoned warehouse, their panic turns into terror when they start being hunted by blood-thirsty creatures.
The story itself was a good one. However, the camera qualities were a bit poor along with some of the acting, which made the movie itself seem like a college student-film project. The creatures (I’m assuming were vampires) did look remarkably scary, so the make-up job they did for the film was a plus. I give this movie 3 out of 5 stars.
