Chyeahhh, it's that time once again to bring you some awesomeness from Dead End Horror. Our theme is still infact, classic horror, but I'll be doing a little review of MOH episode 5: Chocolate. Chocolate came out in 2005 and was directed by Mick Garris, it was based on his short story.
The story starts with Jamie and he appears to be being questioned about the things that led up to him having blood all over his face and shirt. He is asked to again repeat the story of what exactly happened to him and it all started when....
Jamie, a lonely recent divorcee, is working with his best friend Wally at a food laboratory developing various artificial flavors. He gets invited to see his bosses band at a bar because his boss thinks Jamie needs to get out and socialize. On the way home that night out of nowhere Jamie loses his sight and shortly after it returns. He returns home and starts having strange visions. The next day at the supermarket he meets Elaine. They istantly hit it off and they both reveal that they are on strict diets. She goes back to Jamie's house and they decide to indulge in a junk food fest.
She ends up spending the night && they boink (Duh!). Soon after they're finished he starts getting sharp pains in his stomach, he takes pills and goes to sleep. The following morning Jamie sees visions of a man and woman having sex and he begins to feel the sensations the woman is feeling. Elaine is freaking out and just then his ex wife and son walk in to see him writhing and moaning on the bed. Everyone leaves and while he is shaving he sees a vision of a woman writing I Love You on a piece of paper. He tells the people that are questioning him that as soon as he saw the woman write that he knew exactly what love was. Soon after he starts eating chocolate, trying to make more visions come to him.
While he is at the table he has a vision of a naked woman getting into a bathtub and masturbating with the shower head, only he feels everything she feels and he experiences her orgasm. He tries to tell Wally about his visions but Wally is skeptical. He tells Jamie to see a doctor but Jamie says he doesn't want the visions to stop. He then sees a vision of a man kissing another woman. The guy is talking to woman that Jamie is connected to and tells her that he brought the girl for them to share. The woman carresses the girls face before slapping her. The guy gets up and chokes her, and thats where Jamie's vision ended. While asleep later that night, Jamie sees an image of the same man and woman having sex when suddenly she pulls out a knife and stabs the man (She almost guts the poor bastard!). After that, the visions abruptly ended.
While at work he got a vision of a womans liscense plate and looked it up online. He finds that the plate belongs to someone from Vancouver, Canada and leaves to find the woman it belongs to. He reaches the apartment where the man was killed and sees the womans paintings and finds out that her name is Catherine, but she is nowhere to be found. He eventually finds her in another complex and offers her chocolates, but she freaks out and slams the door. Eventually Jamie tracks her down and she agrees to talk to him and hear his reasons for finding her. He confides in her that he sees visions of her and that he can feel what she feels and can see what she sees. She doesn't believe him and tells him to leave her alone, but Jamie is persistent.
He tells Catherine that he only wants to help her and admits that he is in love with her and he would do anything to keep her safe. She invites Jamie back to her apartment where she confesses that she too has been having visions and seeing faces and feeling different things. She offers him a drink and they start to make out when all of the sudden she pulls a gun on him and.....
Awww!! Come on now! Did you think I'd spoil it for you? Although I have in pretty much every other review I've done...hmmm. Well I fooled ye! If you really wanna know what happened, how about you give Chocolate a watch?? Now, onto what I thought. It was ok for being only 60 mins. There wasn't a whole lot of blood except for when the one dude almost got gutted, that was kinda gross. There were a few sex scenes with a bit of boob and butt (2 of the 3 B's my friends!) and umm....a murder scene or two...don't wanna give too much away now do we? I think overall I'd give it a 2 out 5. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't really that great either. I often found my mind wandering to other things, so the movie didn't hold my interest very well..or maybe it was me...who knows??? So there you have it, my thoughts on Chocolate. Why don't you go on ahead and give it peak huh? And while you're at it don't forget to check on Zombie Zanes review of Monster Shrews. And of course faithful readers, please do check back next week for new stuff, here at Dead End Horror.
