| 13 SECONDS (R) RAVENCROFT CINEMA (2003) Starring: April Cole, Daniel Rain, Kevin Kuras, Robert Yensch, Sarah Corbin & more. This is a low budget horror film that is really, really bad. It's about a rock group who hold up in this old house to practice & record their new release. Once they get in the house weird things start happening & all their friends start getting killed off. This story was really poorly written & the acting was even worst. The special effects were also done very poorly too. I understand how low budget films are done & I love these types of films, but this was really bad. Stay away from this flick, unless you want to be tortured for about 2 hours! www.rainstorm-pictures.com/13SECONDS.htm |
| 2001 MANIACS (R) LIONS GATE FILMS (2005) Starring: Robert Englund, Lin Shaye, Marla Malcom, Gina Marie Heekin, Christa Campbell & more. The only reason I watched this film was because of Robert Englund. A bunch of young college students decide to head down to Ft. Lauderdale for spring break. They stumble upon a small backwoods southern town. The locals of the town are celebrating & having a town party. The guest of honor are these students. What they don't realize is that they are what is on the menu for diner. The town locals are all cannibals & are hungry for the fresh blood. The story was a little cheesy & was a mix of horror & comedy. There were a lot of nice looking women to get you through the story & some of the death scenes were pretty cool. This is worth at least one viewing! www.myspace.com/2001MANIACS |
| AMERICAN PSYCHO (R) UNIVERSAL PICTURES (1999) Christian Bale plays a top lawyer in a major law firm in New York during the mid 80's. He & his fellow lawyers are in constant competition with each other over every little thing. What they don't know about him is that at night he is a serial killer. He lures people to his apartment & swooshes them with his collection of 80's CD's & his luxury apartment. He goes insane & just starts flipping & slashing & murdering people. Then he has a huge major breakdown & confesses about the whole thing to his doctor. The film is a little off & twisted, but it's pretty decent at the same time with some off color humor as well. Check it if you haven't yet! http://homevideo.universalstudios.com/AMERICANPSYCHO |
| AMERICAN PSYCHO 2 (R) LIONS GATE FILMS (2002) Starring: Mila Kunis, William Shatner, Geraint Wyn Davies, Robin Dunne, Lindy Booth & more. This film has nothing really to do with the first film. They just wanted to rely on the name of the first film to sell this one. Mila Kunis is the only survivor of the original killer in the first one & she supposedly killed him & got away with it when she was very young. She is now grown & in college & is set on getting into the FBI. She will kill anyone who gets in her way. The film is a bit slow & boring at times & is a bit cheesy as well. The death scenes are nothing major & don't really show much. This film should have never been linked to the first film. Check it if you want, but not really worth viewing. |
| BEOWULF & GRENDEL (R) ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT (2005) Starring: Gerard Butler, Inguar Eggert Sigurdsson, Stellan Skarsgard, Sarah Polley, Eddie Marson & more. This was a film that is based on the mythical beast that was haunting & killing people in a small village in the viking & knights days. The beast is actually just a man who was raised in the wild by himself after he saw his father murder in front of him. The village is run by the king who killed his father. They send for the great warrior knight Beowulf to come slay this beast & rid the town of it's fear. They battle the beast over & over again & realize the king is the one to blame for everything. It was a little slow, but still a decent flick & a different take on this cool story! www.BEOWULF-movie.com |
| CHAOS (R) DOMINION ENTERTAINMENT (2005) Starring: Kevin Cage, Sage Stallone, Kelly K.C. Quann, Stephen Wozniak, Chantal Degraot & more. This is a low budget film that really reminded me of the Wes Craven film LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. I found out it was originally supposed to be a remake of the film, but they felt it could stand by itself. There are two girls who want to go to a rave in the woods with some friends. When they find a guy that can hook them up with some drugs they follow him in the woods & they get taken captive by 3 of his friends. They torture, rape & beat the hell out of them. They then kill the two girls along with the girls families. The film is quite bloody & very violent & almost real looking too. It's not as good as the original, but it pretty damn close! If you can handle it, this is worth viewing!!! www.onlyamovie.com |
| FEAST (R) DIMENSION FILMS (2005) Starring: Duane Whitaker, Diane Goldner, Josh Tuckerman, Henry Rollins, Jason Mewes & more. This was a very cool low budget horror film that adds a little off color humor too. I really dug this flick a lot. It's about a bunch of locals hanging out at a bar when a stranger comes through the door covered in blood & carrying a shot gun. He tells them that some alien creatures are after him & tells them to do what he says because he's gonna save all their asses. Just as he says this one rips him through the window & eats his head, drops the body & splatters everyone with blood! There is a lot more cool gory parts in this film. The creatures are a little cheesy, but everything else is very cool. This is a must for everyone who loves films like this. Let the feast begin. www.FEAST-movie.com |
| HARD CANDY (R) TRACTION MEDIA (2005) Starring: Jeff Kohlver, Ellen Page, Sandra Oh, Odessa Rae, Gilbert John & more. A very intelligent young 14 year old girl has been chatting with a 32 year old photographer online for a little while & finally decides they should meet. They meet at a little diner & start talking & getting to know each other even more. She then goes home with him & they start drinking & talking a little risqué to each other. She puts something in his drink & he passes out. Once he wakes up he finds himself bound & gaged in a chair. From here she proceeds to do many torturous things to him because he is pedophile. The movie had some cool twists to it & was done really well. You didn't really know who to feel for & that's the way the film was meant to be taken. This is another must for anyone who likes films that go off the normal path!!! |
| MONSTER HOUSE (PG) SONY PICTURES (2006) Starring: Mitchel Musso, Same Lerner, Spencer Locke, Steve Buschemi, Maggie Gyllenhaal & more. This is an animated film about a young kid who lives across the street from an old man. He is always watching the mans house because he swears it's alive & eating people. The old man is always yelling & telling people to stay away from his house. The kids buddy helps him find out if this is true. When they almost get eating they wind up saving a young girl from the same fate. They then get pulled in the house & realize the house is alive & mean & nasty. They need to find a way to destroy the home before it eats everyone in town. The story was done really well & the animation was amazingly good. This is very cool for kids & adults alike. www.MONSTERHOUSE-movie.com |
| SLITHER (R) UNIVERSAL STUDIOS (2006) Starring: Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, Gregg Harry, Michael Rooker, Tania Saulnier & more. A bunch of alien creatures invade earth & burrow themselves inside humans & then turn them into zombies. This is a horror comedy film. The small town gets over run by zombie when a small group a people ban together to kill their zombie friends & the alien creatures as well. Most of the creatures are like giant maggots & they slither everywhere, but there are some other creatures too. The film was actually done really well & had a good amount of gore, blood, sci-fi, comedy & great special effects. This is another great low budget horror film that everyone should give a viewing to. Lots of fun!!! |
