From the director of Snakes On A Plane comes Sharks In A Lake. Some hillbillies have filled a saltwater lake with hundreds of sharks affixed with cameras to record the inevitable attacks. Well, Jaws it isn’t. However, it’s also not Jaws: The Revenge. It’s somewhere in the middle. Put logic on the back burner, and …

I didn’t know exactly what I was getting to when I starting to watch this. That’s not true, I knew exactly what to expect and I got it in spades. The growth and reproduction rate of the spiders is a miracle of science. This is a marvel of CGI and blue screen effects. My brain …

An American seminary student who is questioning his faith is sent to Italy to learn of exorcism from a priest experienced in the subject. The standard is set pretty high for movies about exorcisms, but this one is far better than other wannabes. It helps that it has a story we haven’t seen before. Hopkins …

I had heard decent things, but I didn’t see what all the fuss was about. Just your run of the mill, ghost story, haunted past, possession type flick. Script seems to go all over the place and at times it’s hard to figure out what it’s trying to tell you. Performances fall flat and so …
Lovely Molly – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 5 / Film #2 Read More »
An above average ghost story set just after WWI in England. Some decent jump scares and I wasn’t fully able to predict the ending, but I had an inkling. Strong performances, beautifully photographed and a continually unsettling atmosphere. Not too shabby.
Based on the fake trailer with the same name which played before Grindhouse for the Canadian theatrical run. Over the top violence, creative death sequences (love the nooses with the crossbows), and thoroughly coated with cheese. Rutger Hauer is perfectly cast. Terrific fun.
Absolutely gorgeous looking, Oscar winning animated film. Definitive proof animation does not have to be in 3D to be rich in texture and to pop off the screen. Smart script, perhaps more geared towards adults, but still enough to keep kids’ attention. One of my favourite animated films.
Pulsating neo-noir film. The movie is just an endless stream of interesting vignettes punched up with random occurrences of ultra-violence. Gosling’s strong performance is matched by a talented supporting ensemble cast with Albert Brooks and Oscar Issac being standouts. Riveting entertainment.
This low-budget, super-natural horror flick really packs a punch. A bit of a slow-burner, but once this thing gets going the tension really holds and the script keeps you guessing. With jump scares throughout, this small film satisfies.
Do you like blood with your movies? Do you enjoy creative death scenes? Do you like to laugh at inappropriate times and things? Then this is the horror film for you because it was definitely for me. This flick is filled with over the top gore and extremely dark humour. Not for everyone, but fun …
