Day 4: Cam2Cam (2014) 1h 31m
If this film had balls I would fucking punt them sooooo hard just because I wouldn't want it to spawn any offspring. Having that image firmly planted in your mind, know that this wasn't the worst film I've ever seen. I just disliked it so much that I want to cause permanent bodily damage to it in order to preserve hope for our future.
Here's the rundown: An American girl, in Bangkok, thinks she's having webcam hanky panky with another female friend. She realizes that something is up and then the person on the other end comes to her place, kills her, and cuts off her head. Enter her sister coming to basically find her sister's head and what happened to her. There's a series of bullshit and fake murder that leads her to find out that a group of people in the same apartment building as her sister. They were doing some webcam hack/scam type deal and one of them took it too far and became a serial killer. This guy gets killed half way through the damn movie by jumping in front of a truck. The rest is just the lame unraveling of what happened, who was involved, and a bunch of severed lady heads underwater. It's not worth explaining the actually workings of this plot or film.
The director of this film has some terrible back credits. It's mostly sequels of sequels of horror movies past their prime. In fact, the only thing he did I give a shit about was being a producer on Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Back to this bogus shit stain though, there is an over abundance of forced lesbianism in this film and it feels injected into the story. It has the sense of "we're an independent film and this is artsy" pretentiousness to it. Also, the chat language in this was absolute bullshit. Nobdy typs lke this 4 n ntre cnvrsatn. It's old people trying to be hip on what the kids do, even though these people are in their 20's and probably type like normal adults.
I felt like I was being dragged through this entire film. The only smart line of dialogue was the one guy telling the sister "you traveled across the fucking planet for a head," which is true. She's an idiot and your closure is bullshit. Although, she got a box at the end of the film that I'm pretty sure was her sister's fish gnawed skull. Fuck it.
I give Cam2Cam zero. It doesn't even warrant me finding some image and making a rating scale for it. It just gets a fucking zero.

Day 26: House of Good and Evil (2013) 1h 48m
There's an old Alka-Seltzer commercial where a guy said "I can't believe I ate the whole thing." I can't believe I watched this whole movie, and no fizzy tablet water will make this feeling go away.
House of Good and Evil revolves around Maggie and Chris, a dysfunctional couple that lost their baby when Chris pushed Maggie. Chris is a fucking scum bag in this film, don't let him fool you. After the loss of their child they move to a duplex in the deep country. Why this house was turned into a duplex, I have no clue because that would mean that two families want to live in the middle of fuck all. Also, Duplex of Good and Evil doesn't sound as scary as House of Good and Evil.
There's a second bedroom with a black door that is locked up and Maggie keeps hearing the a phone coming from the room despite there not being any phone lines. There are also other weird noises and things she keeps experiencing but Chris doesn't believe her. She eventually breaks into the other side of the duplex to meet her elderly reclusive female neighbor. After realizing the neighbor reminds her of herself, she fleas. This parallel between the neighbors and Maggie and her husband exist a lot, including the violent and abusive male.
This all culminates in the neighbor woman telling Maggie a story about how she finally stood up to her husband and after a self "baptism" in a creek, Maggie returns full of self-worth and a "fuck you" attitude. She calls Chris on his shit and threaten hims with an axe. The neighbor guy comes out, says terrible misogynistic things, and kills Chris. Maggie kills that guy and then kills the old woman. The property manager comes after and finds Maggie in bed with her dead husband. It turns out that Maggie apparently poisoned her husband the night they first moved in and everything after that was all a hallucination. All of Maggie's interactions with the neighbors were fake as well because two perfectly well adjusted individuals drive up while the police are taping things off and say they're the neighbors and have been in Florida.
I can't say I didn't see this coming. All in all, this is a plot that has been done before and done at a much better pace in much shorter films. House of Good and Evil would have been better titled as "Turd Duplex" so I knew what I was getting into.
