If it is graphic violence and gore you want then this will be the equivalent to a Wet Dream for you. I've yet to see Craven's original, so I can't really compare this remake to it. Although, from what … more
I didn't like Hostel. The premise is frightening. The idea of being drugged, kidnapped, tortured, and killed by people who are paying to do it, is a great concept for a film. It's just too bad that the … more
There have been a ton of horror remakes in the last few years. From "The Fog" to "House of Wax" to "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," it appears that Hollywood has run dry on original ideas. One of the latest … more
Pros: Actors did a fine job on the film. Cons: The Plot-line The Bottom Line: Dark Water in the end fails to deliver on its promise of terror; what it … more
I had seen this movie a couple of times and it's just great. The plot is pretty straightforward, even though it relies mostly on cliché themes to move the story along. So as a rule, most films such as … more
A million different water references popped up when I first thought of writing this review. From the standard "all wet" cliche to "drizzly drips," I thought of them all. "Dark Water" is, like a thousand … more
The Grudge was an okay movie, one of those ones that just barely holds your interest enough to make you want to finish it. It's also one of those movies that is hard to describe the plot without giving … more
I remember jumping out of my skin at the though of seeing this movie right before it came out because the trailer seems awesome. Well, I think that's all that was to it. I can honestly say that even after … more
Saw, starring Leigh Whannell, Danny Glover, and Cary Elwes is an intense roller coaster with twists and turns and hairpin curves. Adam (Leigh Whannell) and Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) wake up, each … more
"Hostel" is quite a step up from "Cabin Fever" for writer/director Eli Roth. He seems to take his characters and their development quite a bit more serious than in his previous effort. I actually felt … more

I love direct to DVD horror movies. I don't go in expecting much, and I can just enjoy the film for what it is. However, when a movie goes to the theater, I expect something more, something that makes … more
I've always been a huge fan of the Final Destination series, mainly because it got me to look at the world in a whole new light. Granted, a slightly paranoid light, but a new light all the same. Any film … more
I was hoping for a good grade B movie but this flick takes itself much too seriously for that. Most of the film is just plain boring, stupid and unrealistic police investigative procedural, until about … more
Although Hitchcock considered this film one of his lesser efforts, DIAL M FOR MURDER (based on the hit Broadway play by Frederick Knott) contains enough thrills and twists to keep fans happy, and Hitchcock's … more
Full Moon has done it again. They've turned out a formula movie that's worth watching, at least to B horror movie fans. The plot is simple- guy robs bakery killing the father and son owner, but lets the … more
What makes saw scarier and a better film than what's being released today is that it threatens more than your body; it threatens your mind too. What seems to scare people more than fake scary movies or … more
I've really enjoyed the recent tendency of horror films to bring traditional stories out of old mansions and creepy cemeteries into our everyday existence -- into the apartments and houses of a modern … more
I couldn't review Shaun of the dead the first time I saw it because it was a little different than what you usually see in zombie movies. When you think about it why wouldn't zombies be funny, they're … more
Dark water was a movie a lot of people expected to be really good but the truth is it isn't. It's almost like false advertisement because the movie wasn't scary at all and it was very boring and way to … more
Walter Salles has proven himself a formidable director with his successes in 'Central Station', Behind the Sun', and The Motorcycle Diaries': he is an artist unafraid to approach unfamiliar terrain in … more
