FILM -- Bereavement
This movie was released August 30th, 2011 and directed by Stevan Mena. The movie first starts off in 1989 with a six year old boy named Martin Bristoll who is kidnapped right from his backyard in Minersville, Pennsylvania. The man who steals lil' Martin is a psychotic hermit named Graham Sutter. He keeps Martin imprisoned on his farm, forcing Martin to witness and even participate in some of his random terror acts. Each of his victim’s scream and beg for mercy but no one can hear anything since they are in middle of the country, nothing around for miiiiiiles.
Five years go by and Martin’s disappearance from his backyard remains a mystery UNTIL!...Allison Miller, a 17-year-old girl who comes to live with her Uncle, Aunt & young cousin. Like a nosey a-hole, she explores her new surroundings...like making out with some random boy with a nice car, walking home from school which is like...miles away, and even going jogging with her breasts all out. Then, being nosey once again, Allison discovers things aren't right at the farmhouse miles down the road, and because of that, her curiosity may kill her along with anyone else who knows. Not even that loves her--just KNOWS her.
Also...I don't get why they kept on showing the girl Allison's hard nipples. Like, I don't get it. I thought I was watching a horror. It just kinda comes off desperate that the director would keep on showing that. Any girl with big breasts, more importantly any girl with common sense, would NOT leave her house without a better bra for support since she's going running--SPORTS BRA!
I don't get what the hype was about. There was great gore & all but overall, it felt very SyFyish. And that's technically not a bad thing! I guess the only good thing was the atmosphere...it was beautiful and the air looked fresh.
Point is, I wouldn't recommend this movie. If it comes on TV and you're cooking dinner or something then sure, you can watch it, I suppose while you cook. I wouldn't recommend you spending any money on this film--even if it's a dollar, rent something else.

Drew Smith -- A singing sensation!
I was lucky enough to come across one of my favorite artist, Drew Smith. He's an awesome singer/song writer, whose mind-blowing songs were included in the soundtrack of The Stepfather (2009) and The Roommate (2011).
I asked Drew for a quick interview and he was cool enough to do it! So, yay! For those of you who do not know who he is, first, shame on on you--second, it's never too late to start enjoying his music!
DS: My name is Drew Smith and I write songs out of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. A twitter here, a twitter there, and next thing I know Zena from the RealQueenOfHorror.com has sent me an interview!
1.) I discovered you through your mind-blowing song Melee from The Stepfather soundtrack. To you, what does that song mean or represent?
DS: I guess it is a song about letting go, and existing in the moment. I think everyone has moments where they feel like everything around them is just floating around in the air.
2.) How important is music to you?
DS: It seems to have turned into an extreme Love/Hate relationship.
3.) QUICK! It's movie night--what are your TOP 5 favorite movies?
DS: Off the top of my head and in no particular order:
- Old boy by Chan-wook park
It is not even out yet, but I am predicting “The Grandmasters” by Wong Kar Wai. Why? Three reasons one Wong Kar Wai, two Ip Man (Bruce Lee’s teacher) and three Ziyi Zhang.
- The Matrix
Any movie that is now a religion works for me. Last week I caught myself saying “I really like Morpheus’ new movie.”
Since this is a "horror” site I will dedicate my last two to the genre-at-hand.
- The Shining by Stanley Krick.
Because of the Shining Twins and Scatman Crothers.
And for a nostalgic pick:
- The People Under The Stairs by Wes Craven.
I haven’t seen this movie since I was teenager, but I do remember that Ving Rhames was in it, and that it scared the animal crackers out of me.
4.) When did you discover that you could sing, and what did you do to pursue it?
DS: I got into guitar as a teen and tried singing shortly thereafter. And by singing I mean post-pubescent screeching. Fortunately my mother found a great singing teacher who helped me through my atonalism. I thought at the time she was being quite generous, but in retrospect she was probably tired of suffering through my horrid renditions from The Smashing Pumpkin’s catalogue.
5.) Unfortunately--I can't sing, though you can't tell me anything when I'm in the car. But would you ever do a collaboration with someone? And if so, with whom & why?
DS: PJ Harvey. She has always stayed current without sacrificing her art.
6.) Love Teeth is such an awesome song but is very sad to me! :( If you could put the song in a movie scene, what kind of scene would it be in?
DS: Never intended it to be sad. So..maybe if we placed it in Toy Story 8 or something it would sway your mind!
7.) And last, what can we look forward to seeing or hearing from you next? When can we look for the new album?
DS: My new album "The Secret Languages” will be out in a months time and I am currently working on a new video for my next single.

I thank Mr. Drew Smith for this interview. I hope that everyone checks out his music because he truly is a very talented man. Below, I put three of my favorites. Enjoy!

FILM -- Rec 2
This is the highly anticipated sequel to, in my opinion, one of the scariest films in history, REC! REC 2 was released July 9th, 2010 and was directed by the same awesome directors of the first one Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza.
The movie picks up 15 minutes from where we left off from the first one, taking us back into the crazed, quarantined apartment building where a terrifying virus has run rampant. The virus turned the occupants and every other infected person into mindlessly violent beasts. Not quite zombies! The armed SWAT team and a mysterious government official are sent in to attempt to assess the situation. When they are inside, they find that the nightmare is a lot bigger than they all imagined. It's filled with medical science mayhem; a demonic nightmare of biblical proportions that's RIDICULOUSLY terrifying. The bananas part of the movie, no matter what happens--the virus MUST be contained, before it escapes to demolish the unsuspecting world outside.
Although this is still a zombie movie, I really liked how the film had awesome elements that I won't mention BECAUSE of spoilers! But just know it's an entertaining and horrifying film! The actors and actresses all did an incredible job and this is the type of film American horror filmmakers should aspire to make. Great directing, awesome acting, spectacular story, delicious gore, SCARY elements--that are actually scary, suspense through out the film and the atmosphere was top notch creepy, which all equals the key ingredients of an AMAZING horror film.
In general, I loved this movie & thought it rocked BUT it is also an awesome movie to watch on any day in my opinion. But if you especially want to get yourself in a horrifying mood, I'd recommend checking it out for Halloween & all. If you're too scared to watch it, don't worry--I understand!
