The mazes are back again at Six Flags Fright Fest 2019. This year more props and monsters are ready for entertaining you. Most people enjoyed the haunted houses, and the anticipation of special events that come with the witching season. Six Flags makes this time one of the best frightening experience. You go through these mazes which are basically just walls consisting of painted cardboards and took slightly longer than 3 minutes or more to get through. The scariest zones have real monsters and witches who were running around scraping some sort of metal on the ground so it shot sparks everywhere. The fog on the rides and many monsters scaring and creeping was the best. The scare zones are Vault 666, Unlocked, Sewer of Souls, Willoughby’s, Resurrected, Red’s Revenge, Condemned, Forever Damned, Aftermath 2: Chaos Rising.
Definitely, you have to do all the mazes. Personally, I really enjoyed this event and got on a few rides all in one night. In general all mazes have excellent production value. They really spend a lot on constructing (and staffing!) the mazes make worth a visit.

From director Gisberg Bermudez, based on a South American folk tale “The Whistler”(El silbon, origenes) is a phantasmagorical figure that wanders at night famed for terrorizing the drunk, the unfaithful and children, whom he’s known to feast upon. In Gisberg’s retelling of this popular legend; in a race against the clock, a father struggles to find the origins of The Whistler’s curse to stop the gradual possession of his daughter by the supernatural entity..
For 88 minutes, there are no needless lines, no needless scenes. Since it has all the iconography of noir down with very little of the existential angst. The essence of its characters has many twists and turns, plot threads, and scenes, and they interweave impeccably.

The best film ever in “Apocalypse Now Final Cut”
This film makes you spend more time with Francis Ford Coppola’s stunning vision of “The Heart of Darkness” in all of us, Apocalypse Now, remains a classic and compelling Vietnam War epic. Martin Sheen stars as Army Captain Willard, a troubled man sent on a dangerous and mesmerizing odyssey into Cambodia to assassinate a renegade American colonel named Kurtz (Marlon Brando), who has succumbed to the horrors of war and barricaded himself in a remote outpost. Apocalypse Now Final Cut is Coppola’s most realized version of the film. The first two acts explore post traumatic stress syndrome and the challenges that come with it. During Francis Ford Coppola’s masterful 1979 Vietnam War epic was previously expanded in 2001 into Apocalypse Now Redux by adding back 49 minutes of excised footage. It is a film with overwhelming sensory experience, full of deep colors and nuanced sound amplifying the film’s hypnotic effects. Definitely it is a classic film with good quality of sound, scenes and plot.

From director André Øvredal, “Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark”, begins in 1968 in a remote place in America. Change is blowing in the wind…but seemingly far removed from the unrest in the cities is the small town of Mill Valley where for generations, the shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large. It is in their mansion on the edge of town that Sarah, a young girl with horrible secrets, turned her tortured life into a series of scary stories, written in a book that has transcended time—stories that have a way of becoming all too real for a group of teenagers who discover Sarah’s terrifying home.
Full of ugly creatures, emotions and some scary stories, make feel the spectator the best horror media, skeletons with torn and tangled flesh who roam the earth; a ghost who takes revenge on her murderer and plagued of creepy nightmares. Fear transcends all age barriers and this film shows that part of the characters. Definitely, the best option for fear!

For 107 minutes, the film “The Art of Racing in the Rain” is based on the best-selling novel by Garth Stein, is a heartfelt tale narrated by a witty and philosophical dog named Enzo (voiced by Kevin Costner). Through his bond with his owner, Denny Swift (Milo Ventimiglia), an aspiring Formula One race car driver, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition and understands that the techniques needed on the racetrack can also be used to successfully navigate the journey of life. The film follows Denny and the loves of his life – his wife, Eve (Amanda Seyfried), their young daughter Zoe (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), and ultimately, his true best friend, Enzo.
It is a film full of emotions and characters have to face through life’s most difficult challenges. Death is a symbol of a kind life prolonged. Definitely, the story involves normal people in trouble emotionally and the dog was believable as a dog, a best friend, and an observer. Dogs are the best spiritual guides and soul protectors.
