Screamfest discovered the box office hit PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. Are you next?
Why: The Thing is always going to remain one of the greatest Alien movies ever because the storyline is both plausible and unimaginable. The Prequel to this Claustrophobic and Paranoiac tale of a shapeshifting alien that overpowered a Norwegian Research team by assimilating them is likely to be both highly anticipated and mostly watched - wrong. But I loved the storyline, I loved how it ended to merge with the beginning of the former movie, I loved the special effects, I also loved the actors I thought they did a very good job overall. This Prequel will make you feel that it was necessary to The Thing franchise as it explains the Alaskan Malamute being chased after and shot at by a rifleman from a Norwegian helicopter.
Actors: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Ulrich Thomsen, Eric Christian Olsen
WTF Scene: Where Elsa played by Sarah Polley and Dren played by the gorgeous Delphine Chaneac are in the woods, Dren tackles Elsa to the ground, Elsa screams trying to understand Dren's motives for attacking her, and He-she tells her that it wants to be inside her, at that point I am not just taken aback, I cannot believe that she seduces and does the dirty with Clive played by Adrian Brody supposedly her father figure and now Male-Dren wants Elsa (her mother figure), can you say, incestuous menagerie to the max? Shockingly her tail was not only a sharp tool used to kill innocent animal and people alike but also a make-shift penis forced on Elsa as Male-Dren rapes Elsa for over three minutes with her multi-purpose tail.
Actor: Adrian Brody, Delphine Chaneac, Sarah Polley
Director: Vicenzo Natali
Famous Quote: "If you could understand Crazy, it wouldn't be CRAZY"
Bottom Line: In Splice there were a lot of WTF moments but this rape scene was unlike any other as I was both violently traumatized and brain-raped by that part.
