HORROR MOVIE REVIEWS
(June 2006)
SILENT HILL (R) COLUMBIA / TRI STAR (2006)
Starring: Radha Mitchell, Sean Bean, Jodelle Ferland, Laurie Holden, Deborah Kara Unger & more.
When a young girl suffers from sleep walking spells & night terrors, her mother decides to take her to
SILENT HILL hospital for special treatment. Once they head that direction they entire a time lapse portal
to an abandoned town. The daughter runs off & the mother must try to find her. In her search to find the
missing daughter, the mother encounters some strange town folks as well as some strange burnt up zombie
like creatures. She must do battle against these things in order to save her child. The film is based on the
popular video game. I thought it was a decent film, but just didn't turn out as I was thinking it would.

SLEEPAWAY CAMP 3: TEENAGE WASTELAND (R) ANCHOR BAY (1989)
Starring: Pamela Springsteen, Tracy Griffith, Michael J Pollard, Mark Oliver, Sandra Dorsey & more.
This is the third installment in this film series & probably the worst of all three. The camp where Angela
slayed all those people is now reopened with new owners & a new name. They try to bring rich kids & poor
kids together to unite the youths. Well Angela is disguised as one of the campers, she previously killed so
she can return & continue what she started. This one has some cool death scenes, but most of the dialogue &
story along with acting is very cheesy & poor. This is a cool viewing for fans of the series, but if your
expecting a great horror flick, then stay clear of this one!!!

SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE 3 (R) NEW HORIZONS (1990)
Starring: Brandi Burkett, Hope Marie Carlton, Keely Christian, Maria Claire, Maria Furd & more.
In this third addition of this series a bunch of girls decide to have one last slumber party in the one girls
house before she moves. As in the other two, all the girls come over, get drunk order pizzas, dance, some get
naked & then all get murdered. The plot is the same in all the films, with slight twists here & there. This one
followed along that same path, except the girls were better looking, there was a bit more nudity, some better
killings & a slightly better story line. There were some cool death scenes, but this was still a cheesy 80's
slasher film. All be fans of this genre will dig this film, it's the best of the trilogy!!!
SUICIDE CLUB (R) TLA RELEASING (2002)
Starring: Ryo Ishibashi, Akaji Maro, Masatoshi Nagase, Saya Hagiwara, Hideo Sako & more.
This is a cool Japanese film about 50 girls who commit suicide all at the same time by jumping off a platform
in front of a moving train. When cops start investigating the bizarre suicide, more & more teens start killing
them- selves as well. A bunch of teen at a school joke about it & then all jump from the schools roof. Others
do similar things in killing themselves,all while the cops try to uncover the mystery of this SUICIDE CLUB
they have all been chosen to join. There were some pretty graphic parts in this film & some really detailed &
gory special effects. There was even a little humor tossed in at times. This was a really cool film & highly
recommended for fans of mystery & horror films, with some weird twists!!!
THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER (R) DIMENSION FILMS (2005)
Starring: Edward Furlong, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Tara Reid, David Boreanaz, Danny Trejo & more.
This is the fourth CROW movie, which was only in the theaters for one week. The film was better than I
thought, but still a little lame. I didn't think there were good choices for the roles. Furlong, was pretty bad as
the crow, Tara Reid is a bad actress & Boreanaz was too over the top & over acting as the cheesy bad guy.
The story is the same, some bad guys kill the guys girlfriend & then him. He comes back to life to avenge
their deaths & make everybody pay. I don't know if it's cause I just loved the original so much & thought
Brandon Lee was perfect for that role or what, but each new CROW movie just seems really bad & doesn't
do the first one any justice at all! Not the worst movie out there, but definitely not a great one either!!!!
WHEN A STRANGER CALLS (PG-13) SCREEN GEMS (2006)
Starring: Camilla Betle, Tommy Flanagan, Katie Cassidy, Tessa Thompson, Brian Geraghty & more.
This is a remake of the 1979 horror film of the same name. In this film a young teenage girl goes to baby sit
for a wealthy doctor & his wife in a huge fancy house. The house has all these really cool features in it that
are not in a normal home. The girl keeps getting prank phone calls from some stranger who keeps saying
things to her to let her know he is watching her. She starts getting freaked out & calls the police. They say
they will monitor the phone calls & eventually find out the calls are coming from in the house. She must try
to escape & save the children & herself. This wasn't really a scary film, but more of a suspense thriller. It
was done pretty well, but was a little draggy in the beginning. This is still worth checking out though!!!
