Ugh, finally.

42. House of Voices: House of Voices is probably one of the best movies I saw in all of 2010 and it made me develop a huge girl crush on Lou Doillon. I’m not sure if director Pascal Laugier was trying to one up himself when he went ahead and made Martyrs four years later, but for me, I think Saint Ange is a million times more enjoyable. The film is set in the late 50s and is about a girl, Anna, who goes to help out at an orphanage, but said girl is secretly pregnant. Eventually Anna starts hearing voices and the footsteps of children, but another woman she works with doesn’t hear anything and thinks Anna might very well be crazy. Anna meets one of the orphans, Judith, who has not found a home because she actually is crazy. Judith is the only person who I guess… believes? Anna? And in turn helps her find out what the deal behind the ghost voices is.



43. To Let (Para Entrar A Vivar): As I believe I’ve mentioned before, the Films to Keep You Awake series is just the Spanish version of the Horrorfest films and yes, it’s just as bad. However, Para Entrar a Vivar is definitely the best out of all of them. A couple is looking for a new apartment to rent and gets trapped in a place with their crazy bitch of a real estate agent. Come to find out, they weren’t the first people she’d done this to. I can’t remember why exactly she kept them in there, but of course there was a reason. There isn’t much to say about it since it’s just another mass produced horror film, but it just happens to have better qualities than other.



44. Christmas Tale (Cuentos De Navidad): This is probably my second to least favorite out of the Films to Keep you Awake series. It’s just stupid and not scary. A group of little kids with an overactive imagination find a woman who’s dressed like Santa and stuck in a hole…. Yeah, what? She has a ton of money, too since she just robbed a bank. Right, okay. She asks the boys to help her and some of them run to find help, while others at first attempt to help her out and then change their mind and decide they should just leave her there as long as they can until she gives them her money. Oh, did I mention two of the boys really like zombie movies and try to turn her into a zombie? It didn’t work, but she’d been in the hole for so damn long that when she gets out, she looks like shit and attacks them and they think it worked. Most of the movie is just a bunch of whogivesafuck and has too much downtime with little to no dialogue or just too damn much random talking.



45. Spectre (Regreso A Moira): When I say that The Christmas Tale is my second to least favorite, it’s because this is my absolute least favorite. It is riddled with random sex scenes, but still manages to be one of the most boring movies on the planet. I was able to get a few good screen caps out of the film, but pretty much anything with excessive blood spillage is good for a still. The whole movie is some old guy thinking about when he was a young boy and had a creepy obsession with an older woman that lived way outside of town and everyone thought she was a whore and a witch, but he was in love with her regardless, so he’d go visit her and they’d have a strange and probably illegal relationship. Then I guess said old guy starts seeing the woman random places, but obviously it can’t be her since he’s really fucking old so she’d be dead as fuck by then… or maybe it IS her… OOOOOHhhohohOOOOooo00oO00oohh!!



46. Blame (La Culpa) : I’m seriously almost as bored writing about these fucking movies as I was when I was watching them. Luckily, this makes 6 out of 6 Films to Keep Me Awake. In this case it was more like 6 Films to Keep Me Asleep. This movie is about lesbian lovers. One of them has a gynecology office right in her own dining room and the other gets knocked up by a real life man. You can only imagine where this is headed… I could just be making shit up, but I’m pretty sure I remember something about an aborted fetus running around the kitchen and attacking a bitch. Just putting that out there. If this movie is #46 on my list for 2010, then I probably watched it around this time last year, so I can’t remember, but if that’s the case, I think it might single handedly make the film worth watching.



61. Cadillac Records: I don’t give a shit about the real life Cadillac Records and I only watched this because Gabe wanted to *eye roll* All I remember is Adrien Brody and interracial relationships.



Please excuse my random ass Google image stills of the movies. All my screen caps for these movies are on my desktop and I'm not gonna bother.
