The name is much better than the movie. The idea is cool and the killer is interesting enough, but it’s kinda boring. Most horror films are built on gore and/or suspense. If it only has one, you depend on the other hopefully picking up the slack. However, this doesn’t have suspense and the method of death …
“I liked the part when the truck splits into pieces.” <
“I like when the Queen of France says mais oui.”
This is a stylistic, horror mindf*ck about a grave-keeper who’s forced into a hellish dimension from the writer of Pontypool and featuring its star, Stephen McHattie.

An ambitious young actress must navigate thru some bizarre auditions to land her big break and the cost of fame may be more than she can handle.

“I like when Private’s butt was on fire while skydiving.”
This movie is f’d up. It really is, but I loved. Ignore the story line, the gore, the makeup effects – this movie belongs to Michael Parks. He’s absolutely bat shit crazy, but he makes you care for him and his plight. It’s so much more than just Human Centipede with a walrus. This movie, …

A supernatural thriller about a professor trying to use science to cure a patient of possession. Attempted jump scares and not thoroughly explained science hinders this movie from being anything special. It looks pretty, but that’s about it.
