Ok, so, next im going to review the 6 Saw movies, I've wanted to see them again, this time in a row, because to be honest, I'm kinda confused, and i want to fully understand what is going on there before i see the final movie.
And after that... maybe the Alien quadrology, seeing those are my favorite movies.

Next movies...
The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Story: 8/10
It's not everytime we see a investigation/horror story, and it's a genre we have to be carefull, it's not just killing people after killing people, there's clues to be found and analized. But The Silence of the Lambs did that very well. It tells the story of Clarice Starling and her investigation in order to find the killer known has Buffalo Bill. She has the help of another serial killer, and former psychiatrist, Hannibal Lecter.
Characters: 9/10
Hannibal is by far the most interesting character in the movie, and also one of the most interesting i've seen in cinema. Just the way he talks, the way he sees the other people and analazies them, it's incredible. The other characters are also really interesting, like Buffalo Bill and what made him do what he did, and Starling and her past. But it the end it all comes down to Hannibal and that's the reason people see this movie.
Gore: 6/10
If you're looking for blood this movie is not for you, since it's more of a mystery film. The closest thing to gore you'll see is the photos, and later a real dead body, of Bill's victims.
Special Effects: 8/10
There's not much use of special effects in this movie, and it doesn't need to. There's only two things I used to rate this, the first was the dead bodys, they were really well made, you could see they're flesh and it didn't look fake at all. The second one was when Hannibal eats the cop's face, it looked really fake, but since it's only one scene i'll not count that much.
Horror: 7/10
This movie lacks in horror, there's no suddent killers appearing and killing everybody, no ghosts to curse us or anything like that, it also lacks in phsicological fear, although it had some (ence being in horror movies category).
Overall: 7.6/10
The reason this score is so low is because as an horror movie it lacks somethings, and if you're looking for a good scare this wouldn't be the movie i'd recomend. But if you like intresting characters and story, not caring about the genre, then i'd recomend this movie to you, it's not a bad movie, it's actually one of the best.

The Evil Dead (1981)

Ok, so i heard a lot about this movie, and today I decided to see it
This is my first review, so bear with me as I try to get better at it.
Story: 7/10
Before i saw this movie i thought it was a zombies movie, but soon found out that it was something completely different. Evil Dead talks about a book with a spell that awakens a terrible demon that tries to possess the 5 member of a group that is on vacations in an old cabin. It's not really a new or innovative premise, but it's done in a good way. The story may be full of cliches, but at the same time, it's something really fresh.
Characters: 8/10
There are 5 characters: Ash, Scotty, Linda, Cheryl and Sharron. None of them is really special, but everyone is different and we can understand well their way of acting towards each situation. They take time explaining every character personalities and even the demons seem to act differently from each other, like Linda's always laughing and Sharron seems to be the leader.
Gore: 9/10
This movie as blood all over the place, to the point were the house literally bleeds. Broken bones everywhere, heads falling apart, this movie as it all. The final scene its disgusting and it gives a 9 out of 10 on this category.
Special Effects: 7/10
We can really expect much from a movie that old. The dolls are easy to spot and the bodies falling apart also look fake. But they did what they could, at that time they didn't really had CGI or (good) 3D. But the final scene elevates what would be a 6 to a 7 seven out of 10.
Horror: 8/10
This movie does make you jump a couple of times and the story and demons can be scary. Although they sometimes (a lot of times) use cheap tricks to scare you, they work and so I'll give it a 8 out of 10.
Overall: 8/10
It was an enjoyable movie. Again, at the beginning you may think you've heard this story before, but the fact is that it is a good movie, and what it does, it does well.
