Horror

GRADE: 4 out of 5 The most fun I’ve had watching horror films in a long time and all thanks to Ti West’s creative storytelling. By the way, in my opinion, The Yankee Pedlar Inn is the scariest hotel since Overlook hotel. It feels nice to take a break from all those gazillion found footage [...]

GRADE: 3 out of 5 THE WOMAN IN BLACK is a mildly entertaining horror film that rides heavily on the popularity of Daniel Radcliff. It’s going to make a lot of money at the box office, not because it’s attended by genuine horror fans but because it’s attended by Harry Potter fans. But that doesn’t [...]

GRADE: 5 out of 5 Wow! If you’d like to see an effective yet distressing movie about the rise of a sociopath, then WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN is your movie. With towering performances by Tilda Swinton and Ezra Miller, the film walks on the thin line between horror and drama, for some reason [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 THE DIVIDE is dirty, disturbing, uncomfortable, and I like it! Post-apocalyptic thrillers are usually a messy business and that’s what this Xavier Gens-directed film delivers. It’s sheer madness, a terrifying look at society going down the drain and at humanity when it’s lost its senses, of what could happen when [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 FRIGHT NIGHT Blu-ray is as devilishly fun as the film itself. You’ll have a blast watching the bonus features, which are not too time consuming and they’re formatted in a way that’s catchy, entertaining, and straight to the point. There’s a few decent reboots or remakes out there and FRIGHT [...]

GRADE: 2 out of 5 PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3 is even more boring than the previous film. Somebody please remind me to bring a pillow to PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4, should Paramount choose to make the installment, because I’m sure as hell going to take a nap through it again…

GRADE: 3 out of 5 ‘O, so that’s how it got started. Ok, good to know. Next!’ That pretty much describes how I feel about THE THING prequel. For almost 30 years, some wondered what happened to that Norwegian camp that Kurt Russell visited in the John Carpenter-directed version. Why was that one dude seated [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 I didn’t get to watch this movie back when it was in theaters so I’m thankful for Oscilloscope for sending me the blu-ray copy of what I think is one of the most insanely twisted and marvelous take on Santa Clause. All the reviews out there that have compared this [...]

GRADE: 2 out of 5 THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2 was even nastier and ten times more gross than its predecessor and I couldn’t stop laughing. Tom Six’s maniacally gruesome sequel leaves nothing to the imagination and it borders between disgusting and outrageous. To think that there may possibly be a follow-up installment, one can’t imagine [...]

GRADE: 1 out of 5 It would’ve been more fun if this film had been rated R instead of PG-13. Such a shame that they hold back. But SHARK NIGHT has more scare than DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK will ever hope itself to have. That said, it’s not enough to pass as guilty [...]
