Season 5 was not as good as Season 4 or the previous three seasons. It seemed that TrueBlood lost its way in this season. I wanted to see more of Sookie with Eric Northman. Period.

My main reason for purchasing this book was because of the upcoming American Horror Story season. A character played by Lady Gaga is going to be introduced and this is her. This book taught me a lot about the actual history of this person Elizabeth Bathory. While some of it was hard to read I enjoyed it very much and got everything I expected out of it.

[REC] 4: Apocalypse is the fourth film in a horror franchise that began in 2007 with the found footage film [REC].  There were two previous sequels that weren't very good, but this one hits the horror bulls eye. In this film, the gimmick of found footage is abandoned and the story is told through traditional narrative. Reporter Angela Vidal (Manuela Velasco), two firefighters, and a survivor from [REC] 3 are on a quarantine ship in the Atlantic. Doctors are trying to find a cure for the virus that turns human beings into cannibalistic zombies while keeping the infected away from the general population.

The film uses a staple of fright cinema: the horror of claustrophobia. By setting the movie aboard ship, the characters are constrained by their immediate environment which heightens tension as the infected stalk and prey upon the healthy. There is nowhere to run, no hope of rescue, no possibility of escape. Sudden zombie attacks provide gruesome images of torn flesh, profuse blood, and extreme gore, though the attacks themselves aren't that plentiful.

Director Jaime Balaguero maintains a brisk pace as a fight for survival escalates. The final third of the film relies on the device of a race against time to further heighten tension, but it tends to take the movie more into action flick territory than true horror resolution. The R-rated movie is definitely not for the squeamish.

The only bonus extra on the DVD release is a making-of features.

Not my favorite in the series. The American Horror Story is an interesting series and I enjoy it. However, this edition is my least favorite in the series. It's most likely a matter of personal taste. I am not intrigued by clowns, circuses and "freak shows." If you are, you'll probably like it.

One thing I like tremendously about this series is the camera work. This is very evident in the opening sequence of this episode. A man is cutting his hair in a mirror. It is done in extreme close-up. We find ourselves trying to work out time and place. Is it present day? Is it in the zombie apocalyptic time? Is it a flashback? Is it Rick Grimes? Is he having a shower at the doctor's house? ... The shots of the soap, of the cut hair, of the razor, all are too close to tell when or where this haircut is or even who the man is.

Finally, the camera pans back a bit and we are able to see that the man is Shane Walsh. His hair has just been all shaved off. It is somehow a very disturbing scene. We watch as Shane looks at himself in a mirror. We are left not knowing anything about when this has taken place.

The opening credits begin to roll.

Already the tension for the episode has built up!

The opening scene in the high school in which Shane and the hunter have to escape from the zombies is very good. Shane escapes but it doesn't look good for the hunter and we are left not knowing his fate.

Back at the farmhouse, I am enjoying this episode until Lori gives a speech about why maybe Carl is better off dead. Shane isn't back yet with the supplies and the doctor has not yet operated. But it doesn't seem in Lori's character to give such a speech. To me, it seems more like "filler episode" type stuff that writers stick in to fill in more time and it doesn't seem realistic, either. What mother wouldn't want their son to survive an operation like this? But she does explain that their friend who is dead now doesn't have to go through any of this ordeal anymore.

Now we are back at the school where Shane and the hunter have gone to pick up supplies so that the doctor can operate on Carl. Shane is about at the end of his rope. It looks like he is about to be overrun by zombies when the hunter shows up to save him. Nice work. Will they get back in time with the medical supplies?

Carl wakes up and his parents are thrilled until he starts going into seizures. He doesn't have a lot of time before the doctor needs to operate to remove the five remaining bullet fragments, and the doctor needs more transfusion blood. Rick undergoes a third transfusion at great personal risk (death) to himself.

Shane has injured himself. He and the hunter are still running from the zombies. Shane is having a hard time because of his leg. He keeps falling. He tells the hunter to go on ahead and leave him. The hunter refuses.

Back at the farmhouse, they have waited too long. They have decided to go ahead and operate without any of the necessary equipment needed to save Carl. The operation will probably fail. But there is no time left. Carl will die if they wait any longer. As they begin, they hear a truck. It is Shane. He has returned with the equipment. But the hunter is not with him. Shane is clearly upset and beside himself: we are under the impression that the hunter has saved Shane's life and gave up his own life for Shane's and Carl's.

But then we return to the shower scene, the one from the beginning of the episode. And we see what really happened at the school yard, what really happened when Shane and the hunter were running from the zombies. Shane shoots the hunters leg, shattering his kneecap, and fed the hunter, live, to the zombies. He murdered the hunter in cold blood. It was chilling. It was a reminder that we cannot trust Shane. He is not a friend to Rick. He covets Rick's wife and child, and he is a psychotic killer. The guy is deranged. Sure, we could say it was all for some supplies, but this is beyond that. Shane is certifiably nuts, at least that is what I think.

The last moments are Shane looking in the mirror at himself like a completely deranged psycho. Chilling.

Great episode with a surprise twist ending.

As we all know, Resident Evil 4 was actually used for an introduction of the Las Plagus virus, because at the end, Ada steels the simple and gives it to Wesker. Now in this game, Wesker has used the Las Plagus virus for his own stupid reasons.

Now, let's talk about 5. Instead of 4, I found my partner was very useful than Ashley in 4, who wouldn't do anything. So you may ask, Greg, why 4 out of 5? Resident Evil 4 was a darker game. It was more creepy. It actually have better moments than 5. I have to agree with most fans, I think they went overboard with the ending in this one. Anywho, Resident Evil 4 actually made me jump a few times than 5, and 5 seems to be less gory than 4, believe it or not (but I don't think that doesn't matter). The story line for 5 wasn't that impressive like 4. And 4 does have its moments that I loved than 5.

I give the 4th season 4 stars, even though it was dominated by Brooke and Billy, two characters I heartily dislike. Kim was still around stirring up stuff, and Sydney. I look forward to getting Season Five on DVD. It was one of my favorites - lots of good Kim episodes, and Sam arrives near the end of this season. Anyone know when Season Five will be available?

I had seen the made for TV movie of this family's situation. This story includes interviews with the Smurl families, their neighbors, and Ed and Lorraine Warren who tried to help the family. It also recounts the three exorcisms done in an attempt to rid the household of the demonic attacks. It is a disturbing and frightening true story.

I'm glad I purchased the video, but unfortunately some of the Hollywood story lines I was hoping to see weren't in the 4th season, so I guess the story line continued at the beginning of Season 5.  If you want all the Hollywood episodes, you will need to purchase Seasons 4 and 5.

This was an amazing season!  American Horror Story: Coven is a brilliant addition to the series.  I had a blast watching the characters and was mesmerized by Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates! Delicious to power watch!

I have always enjoyed this series and could not wait for the last one Season 4.
I was at first a little concerned that Kate Jackson seemed only to pop in and out of a lot of these stories rather than being in the story start to finish then I found out during the filming of this season she had to deal with breast cancer and surgery. It was a hard battle so I guess that is why there is no Season 5.

So knowing all the facts this was a great season and I recommend it to anyone who likes old corny tv shows as much as I do......

I watched season 4 and it was so dark I did not want to watch Season 5. But Season 5 was not dark at all. The only episode I had a problem with was the first episode on season 5. I did not agree with the heaven and hell scene. I thought they went too far with that scene and that was some of the ideas still left over from Season 4 that just got caught on season 5. I think someone came up with the ideas for season 4 and pushed it on the writers. They have to stay employed so they had to go with them but season 5 I could tell that they went back to the original ideas of what made Xena truly a great dvd to watch. Whatever and whoever came up with the ideas for season 4 went extremely too far. It's okay to have imagination and come up with characters and creatures people have never seen before but season 4 seemed too demonic. Like someone was trying to teach the audience the traditions and rituals rather than it being a season and telling a story of heroic deeds and tales. I hated 4 but season 5 really redeemed itself. I would give 5 stars but I hated the first episode and really thought it took away from the epic and heroic story of Xena.

An excellent story of the Winchester Brothers.  I really enjoyed this one, it would have made a great episode.  The 'monster of the week' is bringing peoples nightmares to life.  We get Nazi Zombies, 'raptors, serial killers, homicidal cars, and more.  The brothers handle it with their normal style and humor.

I'd highly recommend this one to any fan of the series.

I love this show!  Originally I wasn't going to watch it because I thought it was going to be a horror show.  Was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't gory at all.  I look forward to the next episode every week.

The story lack depth. There are some great actresses on the show, however, the writers wrote a very weak script. AHS: Coven is horrible.

The series continues with soft core zombie rape porn. The beginning is the same as in #2 plus they add scenes from #2 with no coherent explanation as if one was needed. In this episode the rapist men invade the woman's compound. The film leaves itself open for a part 4.

Plenty of rape, sex, nudity, and some girl/girl action.  About an hour long.
