4 Awards for Outstanding 2012 Horror Movies

Now along with the approaching of Halloween 2012 comes people's increasing interest towards horror movies, especially horror movies of 2012. Just as love movie and superhero movie, 2012 horror movie contributes a lot to the prosperity of film industry in 2012. Moreover, with the development of science and technology, some 2012 horror movies are not only realistic in visuality but also reliable in plot. Of course, one will find some 2012 horror movies exciting and excellent while others boring and awful.

Since not all 2012 horror movies are available in the market, we can't tell which one is best and which one is worst. However, we can still pick up those outstanding 2012 horror movies and even award them for their uniqueness. Therefore, this post tries to present 4 outstanding 2012 horror movies with 4 awards. Since the DVD versions of those 2012 horror movies are released, one can enjoy the DVD files with Kindle Fire HD.

1. Award for Most Disappointing 2012 Horror Movie: Prometheus

As one of the most expected 2012 summer movies, the performance of Prometheus was quite disappointing. Though it has gained over 400 million dollars worldwide, it is far less influential than other movies like The Avengers and The Hunger Games. As the prequel of Alien series, Prometheus mainly focuses on a scientific team's exploitation to find the origin of life and their battle with those monsters in the planet. Though Prometheus is not an awful 2012 horror movie, it is actually one which can fail to impress audiences too much with both its plot and its main characters.

Comment: When one has watched Prometheus, he will feel that it is a horror movie that shall not bear some much anticipation.

2. Award for Funniest 2012 Horror Movie: Hotel Transylvania

When audiences can see vampire, mummy, Frankenstein and lycan in one horror movie, it must be a scaring one. However, this is not the case here. Actually, Hotel Transylvania gathers those monsters together to present audiences an extraordinary comedy. The movie is about how a young man accidentally gets to a hotel used by Dracula as a resort for monsters and falls in love with the vampire's daughter. Of course, as such a funny horror movie, Hotel Transylvania wins both the reputation and the box office.

Comment: Hotel Transylvania is a movie full of all gothic elements a horror movie can get but do all the things a horror movie won't do.

3. Award for Most Surprising 2012 Horror Movie: The Possession

While everyone was focusing on expected 2012 fall movies like Resident Evil: Retribution and Bachelorette, they surprisingly found a low-budget film named The Possession had stolen all the thunders. The Possession not only ranked first in box office for two successive weeks but also turned to be second most profitable movies in September, only inferior to Hotel Transylvania. Moreover, it is a 2012 horror movie released in August. The Possession is about how a girl is infected and controlled by evil spirits in an old box.

Comment: Though no one expected The Possession could be a hot word in September, the mysterious box actually attracted people's attention and proved its endless magic.

4. Award for Most Creative 2012 Horror Movie: The Raven

As one of the most well-known novelists in the world, Allan Poe is famous for his horror novels. In The Raven, the novelist turns out to be the main character. In the movie, a murderer commits his crime according to Allan Poe's work. When Allan Poe tries to trace the inner world of the murder, his life is threatened. It is a bold attempt to direct an Allen Poe-oriented horror movie and it is even creative to associate the plot with Allan Poe's novels. Movies like Abraham Lincoln: The Vampire Hunter also focus on the different lives of celebrities but they are not that creative.

Comment: In an Allan Poe style movie, Allan Poe acts as the main character to deal with Allan Poe style murders. That's really fantastic!

The Avengers vs The Hunger Games - A General Review in 4 Aspects

As the most successful 2012 summer movies, both The Avengers and The Hunger Games brought audiences one surprise after another. As a consequence, the debate over the topic of The Avengers vs The Hunger Games had never ceased. Superhero movie fans argued that The Avengers did much better in box office performance than The Hunger Games while novel lovers fought back by listing the fact that the DVD sale of The Hunger Games went beyond the reach of The Avengers. The debate over the winner of The Avengers vs The Hunger Games is one without ends.

Only when one has watched them all, can they make their own judgments. Since I hadn't watched them in the cinema, I have to wait for the DVD versions. Finally, both the DVD version of The Avengers and The Hunger Games are available now. I have watched the DVD versions of them both in recent days (Since I want to watch the DVDs with iPad 2, I choose to convert the DVDs for iPad 2). Therefore, I want to give a general review on both movies and express my opinions on the winner of The Avengers vs The Hunger Games. Therefore, this post will review those two movies in five aspects.

1. The Avengers vs The Hunger Games: Plot

The Avengers vs The Hunger Game in plot

If I would like to conclude the plot of The Avengers like this: Loki has attacked an army base to rob a magic box for invasion and then Nick Fury collected five superheroes to fight against the invasion. The plot follows typical Hollywood blockbuster mode. I knew it before I had watched it. However, I was expecting the cooperation and fighting scenes of those superheroes. However, I didn't get much in the movie. The movie just focused on too much on those trivial like the arguing of superheroes.

Before watching The Hunger Games, I thought it would be a bloody and violent movie. Of course, it wasn't but that surprised me a lot. The Hunger Games is about how a girl named Katniss suffered in a killing match. Who will want to see a movie about fighting match but without too many fighting scene. Before I have seen The Hunger Games, I didn't believe anyone would do that. However, I must say The Hunger Games really attracted me with its plot. Fasten me to the belt from the first minute to the last. Therefore, the plots of those two movies are all surprising, one in a disappointing way and the other in a joying way.

2. The Avengers vs The Hunger Games: Background Music

To be honest, the background music of The Avengers didn't impress me too much. I don't know why. Maybe I wasn't focused enough or maybe the plot was more attractive. I have impressed by the music of famous movies like Avatar and Titanic but not by The Avengers. Contrary to that, The Hunger Games did much better in this field.

I was impressed by at least three parts of background music of the movie. The exciting music when Katniss first appeared before audiences, the amusing music of interviewing program and the sad songs in the ending of the movie. To be honest, I love the ending song most because it can easily stir the sad emotion in your heart. At least with the background music of The Hunger Games, I feel like I can feel what those characters feel.

3. The Avengers vs The Hunger Games: Expectation

I know sequels of The Avengers and The Hunger Games are being directed. If I have a ticket to see one of them, I will love to see The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The movie just arouses your curiosity towards plots of the sequels. When I have finished watching The Hunger Games, I even have a desire to read the original novels and tried to search as much information about its sequels as possible. I know what will happen in Catching Fire and Mockingiay, but I still want to see the movies. Though I know nothing about the sequel of The Avengers, I do know it will be a story of how superheroes manage to rescue the Earth after going through difficulties.

4. The Avengers vs The Hunger Games: Heroes

The Avengers vs The Hunger Game in character

Before watching The Hunger Games, I knew little about it. However, after viewing it, I could tell something about the main characters. What about the characters in The Avengers? I still had no idea on how to introduce Black Widow and Hawkeye even though I had seen them in Iron Man 2 and Thor respectively. For those who hadn't seen those movies to know about heroes in The Avengers, they might even have difficulty telling something about Iron Man and Thor. Moreover, the Hulk I saw in the movie seemed to be quite different from what I had known in The Incredible Hulk in personality.

Usually summer movies can help box office recipients reach to the peak of the year. Summer movies can usually draw people's attention because many of them are blockbusters.

Last year, Kung Fu Panda 2 cooperated with Transformers: Dark of the Moon to rule the summer movie market. Consequently, the box office recipients of 2011 summer movies created a new record. Even with the participating of The Avengers and Men in Black III, the box office performance of summer movies in May this year can't compete with that of 2011.

However, the 2012 summer movie market still gets its chance to make a new box office record in the next two months. Except The Avengers and Men in Black III, many most expected 2012 movies will be released in June or July. Therefore, this post will take you to have a view at 4 most anticipated summer movies in 2012.

1. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted

Animated movies like Despicable Me and Megamind are always favored by audience both for their 3D effects and for the humorous and relaxing feelings they can provide. The predecessors of Madagascar 3 both performed well in box office recipients which laid a good foundation for this movie. This summer movie will be released on June 8.

After travelling to Madagascar and Africa in the first two movies, Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman will take audience to Europe in Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted. In the European, the four friends present an amazing journey. Of course, audience also misses the penguin and Julien, without whom the movie will be quite boring.

2. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

As the greatest president ever, Abraham Lincoln does not only need to fight against slavery, but also those vampires in the movie. The movie is made based on the novel by Seth Grahame-Smith which is written as a biography of Abraham Lincoln. This summer movie will be released on June 22th.

Besides the secret life of the 16th president, people are also attracted by the cast consists of Benjamin Walker, Rufus Sewell and Dominic Cooper. The movie makes Lincoln a vampire hunter because he was a big Gothic horror fan who could also recite The Raven from memory in history.

3. The Amazing Spider-Man

The Amazing Spider-Man

As Tobey Maguire refuses to save the world as Spider-Man, audience will welcome a new Spider-Man acted by Andrew Garfield, also known as Eduardo Saverin in The Social Network. In The Amazing Spider-Man, Tony Parker will try to figure out the truth behind his parents' death. As he goes deeper, a huge conspiracy shows up. This summer movie will be released on July 3rd.

So basically, people are focusing more attention on the new Spider-Man who is now standing in the shadow of Tobey Maguire. After years' departure, the latest Spider-Man movie will present you new actors and new plot. Will the Spider-Man as amazing as the film name? We hope so.

4. The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises

As the last member of Batman series, The Dark Knight Rises will end the long-year evolution of Batman movies. Due to the great success of The Dark Knight in 2008, people are expecting the ending of the dark knight. In the movie, Batman will accept the job as a wanted vigilante. Therefore, he needs to face two powerful foes, Bane and Catwoman. This summer movie will be released on July 20.

Since Catwoman has been the biggest enemy of Batman in the comics for years, people are expecting the fighting between Batman and Catwomen in the movie. Also if The Dark Knight Rises can be the most successful one of Batman series, it can surpass The Avengers and even Avatar in box office performance.

Those are four most expected summer movies in 2012. Nowadays, only trails are available on YouTube. If you want to know more about them, you can download those trails from YouTube with Moyea Free Flv Downloader.
