This is a Koren film about two sisters who are twins & are very close. They live with their father & step mother in an old house by the lake. The step mother is always abusing the daughters & treating them horribly. The father pays no attention to it & the girls must fend for themselves.

| EVIL REMAINS (R) SCREEN MEDIA ENTERTAINMENT (2004) Starring: Jeff Galpin, Estelle Warren, Ashley Scott, Clayne Crawford, Jeff Bryan Davis & more. This film is about a group of college kids who go to an old abandoned house that has a creepy story attached to it. The story is about anyone who lives there winds up going insane & slaughtering their family. The last guy ended up killing his parents & supposedly his spirit still resided in the house. The one student is doing his thesis on this story & wants to document the whole experience. Of course the kids wind up messing with the house & the house possess them back & starts making them kill each other. The film was a little slow & the acting was kind of cheesy too. It's worth one viewing, but that's about it. Check it out if you want. |
| FEAR OF CLOWNS (R) LIONS GATE FILMS (2004) Starring: Jacky Reres, Mark Lassise, Rick Ganz, John Patrick Barry, Judith Furlow & more The main female character is an artist who has a fear of clowns & she paints nothing but clowns. All her clown paintings are dark & evil looking. When a rich man offers her a lot of money to paint a portrait of his father as a clown, some psycho starts attacking & killing people she knows dressed as a clown from her paintings. The story was OK, but it was done kind of lame. It wasn't that scary & the acting was pretty bad. This could be done better, but it was still a decent viewing despite all the bad stuff. There are definitely worst films out there & I'll check out anything with evil clowns in it! http://kangaskafilms.com/FOC |
| HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: ALL GUTS, NO GLORY (R) LIONS GATE FILMS (2005) Starring: Emmanuelle Vaugier, Ed Quinn, Sticky Fingaz, Nadine Velaquez, Victoria Pratt & more. This sequel is a little different than the first film. A crazy college professor is trying experiments in the school basement. He is trying to bring the dead back to life. When the experiment goes wrong & the dead come back & attack the living. Soon they spread across the whole school campus & start attacking & eating everyone. A special task unit is sent in to wipe out all the infected. Half the crew gets infected themselves & must be destroyed as well. There was a better story this time around, with better effects & better acting. The film ermined me of a mix between 28 DAYS LATER & RESIDENT EVIL. Way better than the first!!! www.scifi.com/HOUSEDEAD2 |
| I'LL ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (R) SONY PICTURES (2006) Starring: Brooke Nevin, David Paetkau, Torrey Devitto, Ben Easter, Seth Packard & more. This is the 3rd installment in this movie series. This one has a new twist two it & a whole new cast. A bunch of kids decide to play a prank at the town fair, when something goes wrong. They decide to dress up like the Fisherman from the first films & a friend of theirs gets killed. They try to hide it & never talk about it again, when someone starts leaving them notes about that night. They start getting attacked by someone dressed like the Fisherman themselves. They keep getting picked off 1 by 1. The story was a little slow at times, but it was still a good view. This one can kind of stand on it's own, where you don't need to see the others! |
| LADY DEATH (NR) ADV FILMS (2004) Starring: Christine M Auton, Mike Klenhenz, Andy McAvin, Rob Mungle, Mike Malrae & more. This is an animated film based on the comic book of the same name. A young lady is killed & then finds out that her father is the devil himself. He has killed her mother & has taken her boyfriend prisoner. She goes down to hell & tries to find some people to join her army to over throw the devil & take charge of hell herself. The animation was really good & had a japanimation feel & look to it. The voice acting was a bit stale at times, but over all it was decent. I liked this film a lot & it makes me want to buy the comic book now. If your a fan of animation then this is one to check out!!! www.LADYDEATHthemovie.com |

| SAW III (R) LIONS GATE FILMS (2006) Starring: Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Angus Macfadyen, Bahar Soomekh, Dina Meyer & more. Here it is folks. Let the blood flow again. Jigsaw kidnaps a nurse this time to help keep him alive, while his protege has put another victim in a new situation & must find his way to escape. This new victim must go through a series of test with people who had some hand in his sons death. One was a witness to the accident, one is the judge of the trial & one is the driver of the car who ran his son down. There is once again a huge twist at the end of this film that pulls everything together & really screws with your head. This film actually made me unsettled a few times, which I was really surprised, because no film has done that to me before. They really pulled out everything for this film & did a great job. I loved every minute of it. If you dig the other two films then this one you will really love. It was left for a new film, which I really hope there is!!! www.SAW3.com / www.officialSAW.com |
| SEVERED (R) FOREST OF THE DEAD PRODUCTIONS (2005) Starring: Leanne Adachi, JR Bourne, Sage Brocklebank, Paul Campbell, Julian Christopher & more. On a small island of woods there are some scientist that are doing experiments on the trees. There are some logging companies there trying to cut the trees down, plus activist trying to stop both of them from doing anything to the trees. Something from the experiments gets in one of the loggers mouths, makes him violently ill & eventually turns him into a zombie. He attacks the other people on the island & shortly everyone becomes a zombie themselves. A few of the people have survived & do what ever they can to make it out alive. This is a low budget film, but it was done quite well even though some of the acting & dialogue were a bit cheesy. Zombie fans could find something they would like about this one! |
| STAY ALIVE (R) BUENA VISTA PICTURES (2006) Starring: Jon Foster, Samaire Armstrong, Frankie Muniz, Jimmi Simpson, Sophia Bush & more. If you die in the game, you die in real life. This movie is about a bunch of video game lovers who have online video game parties. When a friend of theirs who develops video games dies tragically, they get a demo of his new game he is working on. The game is based on the legend of Elizabeth Bathory, who used to kill young women 7 bath in their blood to keep her youth. You must speak an incantation aloud to enter the game. Once you do it invokes the spirit of Elizabeth. You must stay alive, for if you die in the game you will die the same way in real life. The friends keep getting picked off & the few alive must complete their mission or die also. The movie looked a lot scarier than it actually was, but it is a good film, could of had a bit more gore though! It's almost the same concept as the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET films! www.canuSTAYALIVE.com |
| TAMARA (R) LIONS GATE FILMS (2005) Starring: Tamara Riley, Katie Stuart, Chad Faust, Bryan Clark, Melissa Elias & more. A bunch of jocks in a high school continuously pick on the geeky out cast girl. What they don't know is that she is into witchcraft & is pulling her own prank on them. They pull a major prank on her & they get in struggle with her & she falls & smashes her head on a table. Thinking she's dead they bury her out in the middle of the woods. She returns to class the next day, but is a hot sexy temptress & starts making everyone pay attention to her. She gets her revenge on the people in ways that would embarrass them, just the way they did to her. This was a pretty decent film, done by the guy who did FINAL DESTINATION. It's listed as a horror, but is more like a suspense thriller. Worth giving a few viewings to. Check it out! www.TAMARAmovie.com |
