Some movies I’m (hopefully) going to see

The Countess: A movie about the legendary Hungarian countess Elizabeth Báthory who is said to have killed and tortured hundreds of virgins. She was known for her “lustrous black hair and pale skin”; she was also of royal blood. “By many accounts, she was also a petty and vain narcissist. She changed her clothing five or six times a day and spent hours admiring her legendary beauty in mirrors. She used all manner of oils and unguents to preserve and whiten her skin. No one denied her whatever she wanted and she demanded continuous praise. No one knows what she might have become had she not teamed up with her husband, but there is no doubt that she was fertile ground for his sadistic encouragement.”
She seems to have been married to a really cutie pie too “He also showed Elizabeth the art of freezing a girl to death during the winter by pouring water over her naked body until it hardened and she was unable to move. Sometimes he sent black magic spells from another land where he was at war for his wife to try out at home—a token of his love.”
Looks like the movie is slight different, a cleaner version, a “love story”…
(Got the info here, more to read if anyone is interested)


(Don't like that they have used the soundtrack from The Village in the trailer, get a new track for F sake.)

I Sell The Dead: It reminds me of RL Stevensons “The Body Snatcher” and the whole Burke and Hare Murders. Looks like fun and I have never heard a word about this movie, which based on the trailer is a little odd to me, a big bowl of popcorn and some good friends and this would be a great night I bet.

“If I’ve learned anything over the years, it’s that you never, ever, trust a corpse.”



Zombieland: Probably not a good movie but it looks entertaining and Wood Harrelson is always fun. I prefer zombies in comedies, they aren’t very scary when they are horror and they are always cliché so…
