Last weekend I had the house to myself again, since Thursday. I've been talking to my third sister about new movies to watch and she recommended me a few British ghost/horror movies, which I have been interested to watch anyway. So the first night I watched Awakening. I think it was really good. Not too scary but the story line is really good. One of those twists that I love, and to be frank, kind of guessed quite early on. But it's still good.
On the Friday, I watched Woman in Black, starring Daniel Radcliffe. It's really weird to see little Potter all grown up... with a son, too! It's hard not to see him as Harry Potter, the poor guy, especially since the way he talks is exactly the same as Potter. All in all, I think the story is really stupid and by the end a tad wtf-ish, but it has a good amount of scare/terror-factor, one of those movies where something will absolutely happen at night and you just want to hide yourself under the blanket when the night scenes start. I didn't, but that principle still stands.
On the Saturday, I watched Paranormal Activity 3. The story started out really good. Haunted children are more often good. And it was, at first, until later on when the wife/mother just becomes incredibly stubborn and annoying, and the final ending to be a bit wtf. But the scare factor is really good. Even if it's only showing the bedroom with a door it's terrorizing enough because you never know what might or might not happen. The effect won't work the second play through though, so it's a first-time-only effect, but still great.
Out of the three obviously I like Awakening best, because none of the movies really scared me (yes, I did jump a few times in WIB, but that was more sound effect =P) and Awakening has the best storyline by a mile.
But that's not even the point of this post. My own little horror weekend started after Awakening, or before, I can't really remember. But it was the Thursday, after everyone else had gone away. I went outside, and saw this black THING staring at me from the kitchen. (OK, I don't know if it was staring at me or not... but it sure felt like it).
I scrambled backwards... saw this pile of newspapers on the table and I grabbed a few, and started throwing them at it. I hit it a few times but it managed to stay alive, and after the third throw, it slipped below the kitchen area, where there is a small place for it to hide. Sobs. Eventually I found an insect spray near the bathroom, so I sprayed away. Then after a bit it came out of hiding, kinda almost dying. I sprayed at it some more (I should have just hit it and get it over with, but I couldn't bring myself to come within 1 meter radius. It kept moving... though a tad slower, and it went back inside the kitchen space. F***! Well I sprayed away at the space and ran back to my room, and then I started to put newspapers at the bottom of my door.
I didn't spend a lot of time outside my room for the whole weekend. It wasn't that different from any other weekend anyway, but I couldn't cook. It was a miracle that I managed to do laundry, mostly because I thought my bro really needs his work clothes. I put newspapers in a few places just so I can arm myself when I need to. I've not seen it again since Thursday night. It's probably dead, but you never know. It's a shame I didn't manage to cook anything =( Ordered pizza which lasted me exactly 2 days LOL. Well, the pizzas were good, so that's fine.
Sigh... to think how all the horror shows gets dwarfed by that tiny black thing.
