* out of **** Few years are truly big years for horror cinema, and 2010 was no exception. There was mediocrity such as "Piranha 3D" and "The Last Exorcism", both which released … more
There are rules for a trilogy that one must abide by. 1.) The First act sets up the rules, 2.) The second act bends the rules, 3.) Well let us just say in the third act all bets … more
Scream 2 is probably one of the best horror sequels, and movie sequels in general to ever be made. However, I find that it's missing something that I can't quite put my finger on. The original … more
