It’s Alive
If you read this site every so often, you might notice that there haven't been any updates recently. The reason for that is my wife had a baby the second week of June and I haven't gotten a chance to take a shit without falling asleep, let alone watch and review any movies. Thankfully, I was able to peel myself away for a hour and a half and watch Larry Cohen's 1974 film "It's Alive", which is about what else? A baby that kills people. Sounds like a great movie for a new parent to watch, right?. Let's examine it a little further, shall we?
The Perfect Weapon
It doesn't get much simpler than this: A boy can't be controlled by his father, so he enrolls him a class to learn the ways of a martial art - to teach him discipline. The boy becomes a master of the art, but still hasn't quite grasped the concept of the discipline part. After beating up some kid in the schoolyard, he gets banished from his home, and years later returns to reconnect with his old master. When the master gets murdered, the boy has finally become a man - and a master himself, and avenges his friend. He has become THE PERFECT WEAPON! 
(that title just begs to be capitalized.)
Silent Scream aka The Retreat
Living in Michigan all my life I'm extremely familiar with cold winters, tons of snow, and forests that go for what seems like hundreds of miles. It is just something you have to get used to while living here, and for the most part it can be very beautiful. I'm also a big fan of camping whether it be in a tent, trailer, or a cabin in what Michiganders call "Up North", which basically means anywhere further North than you live. (clever huh?!?) The ironic part about "Up North" is you do it to get away, be by yourself, or hang with some close friends and drink. The more secluded the better. Unfortunately seclusion can also be your worst enemy, especially when a killer finds your cabin and starts offing you and your friends!
