Day 11:Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is in black and white?

This is Dr jekyll and mr Hyde from 1920 it has no sound other than its music and no color yet it is still a great film Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is about a scientist who want to discover a way to separate his good from bad in a way similar to the hulk even though the hulks based on this and Frankenstein. Dr Jekyll is a very generous man who runs a home for the poor he has a colleague who disagrees with his studies also 1920S VERSION OF A STRIP CLUB I love an early scene which is basically a strip club in the 20s I've never been in one but girls dancing for men's pleasure and giving what appears to be a lap dance what might be seen as sexist to some is just funny anyways this movie switches from dark to light using camera filters which is a really smart and creative way to establish light,dark,day,and night and I admire this film for that. It also has stills incase you might get confused during important parts but in nice poetic ways,the movie doesn't force these and explains the plot well also.I haven't finished the book yet so I can't contrast like I did with bride of Frankenstein but the story is somewhat basic so I'm gonna assume its a good adaptation.Also for a film you have to read it keeps the watcher interested it could've easily done the opposite especially since I've seen more films with effects that our great and sound and color.This film reminds me of Frankenstein because of the people's calling it sacrilegious I get it's how people probably would react back then but IT'S VALID RESEARCH I mean seriously think of all the good there expiriments could do I get Frankenstein since he dug up graves but why Hyde it makes me glad how times have changed I mean imagine a film like ghostbusters back then "were gonna hunt ghosts" "WITCHCRAFT!" 
 This is why I hate the scenes where they say it's wrong of him to do this.The acting in this is phenomenal because Jekyll and Hyde are played by the same guy but he makes them seem totally different.I also like how the movie intruiges you by saying things like"will the drug be able to bring him back" the music fits perfectly to this movie 
and actually makes me kinda glad it doesn't have talking more movies should focus on music like this one. He also thinks ahead and says Hyde has full access to his home to his servant so that was smart I don't like how obviously suspicious he makes it and how one sentence later he asks for a mirror in his lab but it's a minor issue especially since he does his deeds very secretly.(the hunch mr Hyde has is a nice feature) This movie also makes me think about evil I mean a man who runs a free clinic for the poor becomes a murdering rapist these contrast really add to the movie since in some way this is what his mind made and is a form of freedom being Hyde.I can't help but think the strip club scenes are hilarious I get it's a different timed movie but I still find them funny especially the woman's reactions to Hyde (don't worry there's no graphic scenes)and how she coincidentally has a ring that used to hold poison.Also there's a scene with a juggler out of nowhere....not even jokin just shows up and leaves.There are good side plots that link to the main story and he also has more ways to stay in control as Jekyll like if he goes missing as himself for too long Hyde gets all his things. He neglects thing as he works and this also reminds me of Frankenstein and even more since the creator loses control and costs lives because of it.On some scenes I wish it had sound but that would ruin the movies atmosphere. The supporting actresses are great especially the love interest. The dr trying to hold back the beast inside him just makes the beast madder which causes great drama. I really think some people could relate to this no I don't mean people turning into murderous monsters that's just silly I mean neglecting people you love over obsession I mean I can't but I'm sure someone could.The horror of this film comes from human nature and lust for power.For 1920 it's effects are great it does well for it's lack of sound,it's abilities to induce fear,it's abilities to make one man have two vastly different identities,The death scenes are great the first kill is a poor dirty little kid not really but he tried to.the peoples reactions are oddly funny to me they open there mouths really wide in shock and pop there eyes out he then pays the man off with a check he signed Henry jekyl and they notice it and some drama ensues The Dr finally comes back feeling much remorse for all hyde has done. He is asked what he had to do with Hyde and transforms and kills a guy with (starts a beat up) AEROBICS A A AEROBICS and beating him to death and a chase ensues afterwards the police are called which raises a question WHY DO THEY ALL HAVE ON TOPHATS I mean everybody in this film wears a top hat WHY I guess it's just the fashion of the time.Hyde in a panic runs off and also burns some papers.And the police question the drs servant as he changes back from Hyde with just a roll of his eyes when he comes back I mean what was he thinking "ughh I think I left my murder cane behind" when he's back he cleans himself up and talks to the cops. He sees his wife to be crying since he was gone killing her dad.She asks him to help her stop Hyde and he agrees.He has a really awesome looking transformation in his sleep after and the wife to be talks about her worries and asks about Hyde. Then it reaveals he's out of his transformation drug so he's out of control and sends everyone in the house for chemicals.when his freind knocks on the door he freaks out and prays I also like how they show the maids  banter about it cause it gives insight and doesn't SUCK like it does in some movies.In the last 5 minutes he battles with himself in his lab yelling for his wife to go but she doesn't and goes in the lab where in an awesomely creepy scene she sees Hyde battling with himself I had to watch the two scenes after that twice cause they were so interesting SPOILERS She is so shocked she has a heart attack and right after the dr dies fighting himself as a sacrifice for his love she gets up and just sits next to him this is one of my favorite movies of all time everyone should watch this it deserves a sequel that's all for today but come back tommorow.

Day 10:Frankenstein and the monster from hell is swell

Alright so another really good well pretty good film Frankenstein meets the monster from hell isnt what you would expect this isnt about a creature called frankenstein its about Dr Frankenstein and his nefarious deeds ok but let me give a little back story in the 50s-70s a company called hammer made Dracula and Frankenstein films with recycled actors in each like universal used too so some of the Frankenstein films even if they werent related they had the same cast so lets get into this film. Its about a man who studies Frankensteins work is arrested for witchcraft where he meets Dr. Victor who looks exactly like Frankenstein oh but he so obviously isnt VICTOR Frankenstein hes Dr Victor but he soon reveals himself and IT IS FRANKENSTEIN to give credit this movie knew it was obvious though so it didnt be stupid about it. Anyways they work on something they did in all the previous films swapping brains with a proffesor and an EXTREMELY HAIRY man who is also incredibly strong.The characters in the movie are strong enough to keep this movie pretty good.I also like how the dr is blackmailing the proffesor so he can do whatever he wants.This movie repeats the last film but in a unique way because of the characters reactions and motives dr frankenstein is an amazing villain he uses wrongfully incarcerated peoples parts in his creations and he even gets  a man to kill himself his mute assistant plays a part near the end and is great the assistant has a great moral conflict and his creature goes on a rampage too also the reason why she is mute is also great and makes perfect sense  I say watch it 8 out of 10. P.S sorry everything comes from netflix but I dont have access to my dvds at my old home.

Day 9:Bride of Frankenstein is Sublime

Ahhh this movie is wonderful WE BELONG DEAD best line ever ok so the movie begins with Mary Shelley going over with her freinds what happened last film.Also universal sure does reuse actors alot the woman from invisible man that overacted is in this.The film takes alot from the book like the part where the blind man teaches him to talk thats directly from the book.The villain isnt the murderous creature its the man who wants to create a wife for the creature to calm it.Its odd how they made it work like that but it does. When Dr.Patronus finds out how to make intelligent life but cant make it large enough he asks Frankenstein for help so he agrees to do it. This movie is great in almost everyway I cant even think of anything wrong with this the beginning is very unique in how it catches you up on what happened in the last film.And after that your immediatly entertained because it starts up on a burning buildind with the creature and frankenstein inside.I also really like how Dr. Paleontologist is such an un villainous guy but Dr. Platypus really turns into a beleivable villain and you sympathise with the monster no matter what happens cause he hardly ever catches a break and when he does he totally gets screwed especially at the end when he gets his wife but shes horrified of him and kills them all except for his creator who realised what they were doing was wrong Boris Karloff really makes this movie definitley watch it.

Day 8:Killer Klowns from outerspace wins the Kooky space race

Ahhh we got another good one and its PG-13 so go us this movie is about a guy his girlfreind and his girlfreinds cop ex boyfreind fighting killer alien Klowns and yes if the movie spells it like that so will I theres also another cop who thinks its a big prank on him . My one complaint about this movie is also a good thing that probably shouldnt bug me the people that die you dont want to die. I love how this movie never tries to take itself seriously unlike other goofy horror concepts(looks at Hellraiser 8) The music is also really good it has a really good theme song and its style is used in some scenes.Theres one scene where a Klown is riding a bike chasing a guy in a car where the music is just really catchy not many movies have music as good as this one. There spaceship is really nice its a giant circus tent and it has a neat little door system.The Klowns main goal is hilarious they put people in cotton candy cocoons to drink there blood there means of finding people balloon animal bloodhounds there means of killing people are also one of the best parts my favorite is the acid pies.There are also two brothers that are also hilarious and dont ever catch a break until the end they also kinda save the day with there ice cream truck near the end.I also think the fact they kept everybody good alive is a note alot more horror movies should take note of. Also how else would you kill a Klown....by shooting there nose and where do they hide...the Karnival...how do they kidnap the girl...a balloon. This movie is a definite watch so see ya next time.

Day 7:The Invisible man is very grand

Ahhh something good after all the crap Ive been watching also my sister dressed up as the invisible man  today so it works. This movie is really good its so interesting to watch I actually watched it a couple weeks ago but its one of those movies thats got good rewatch value  but I also love old horror films like Bela Lugosi in Dracula so grab some paint cause youll need it to see the invisible man. Ok so the film starts out with the Invisible man (Dr Jack Griffin) walking in the snow and he walks into an inn where everyone gets quiet when he walks in he asks for a room and immediatly after hes gone they start talking about him and why they think hes wearing goths on his face and goggles.Then later he asks for food from the woman and she brings him some he asks for privacy after that but she didnt bring the mustard so she comes in and hes eating but he appears to have no chin.It cuts to two scientists and one of there daughter who is dating Griffin they try finding clues for where he couldve gone.Im not going to go into detail anymore than that because it would spoil this movie and its so good so if you want to now what happens watch it.
