I know this was based on a comic. You can totally tell this was an adaptation. Decent enough movie. Sadly, while it's an interesting story, and the cast is.... adequate.. something was lost in translation in the screenwriting. I'm not entirely sure what ( Read more... )

I knew this would be bad going in. I expected that. BUT, I must say, this is not the worst movie I'd ever seen. Far from it. I'm a fan of Wes Craven, and I saw what he was trying to do with this. He was sort of trying to do what he did with Scream, which was bring a younger/fresher audience to his body of work. Gain new fans. He seems to have ( Read more... )

I needed to cleanse my palette after the past couple of days, so when I saw this on Netflix streaming, I was pleasantly delighted. A Vincent Price film I hadn't seen! Plus Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre to boot? Win ( Read more... )

This was *so* not anywhere on my list. Last night Netflix was being screwy, so I happened to see what was on TV. Not that there's much promising on basic cable at 2am, but beggars can't be choosy, right ( Read more... )

Peter Weller reminds me of a young James Woods. He plays a great role in this suspenseful thriller. I'll warn you now, if you're a fan of rats? You may not wanna watch this.

I started watching this when I was out of town, but after about a half hour, I was bored to tears and practically put asleep. When I arrived home, I was determined to finish the film ( Read more... )

No I'd never seen it. I'd known about it, but never seen it.

Simply put, I laughed my ass off. I know back in the day, this was supposed to be some serious teen slasher. The genius of this movie is how it unintentionally has become the very parody of what it was attempting to do, without being facetious about it. Every cliche in the book was used ( Read more... )

It's pretty well known I'm not a fan of zombies (even though I got roped into going to Zombicon this weekend) :P. However, I do try to keep an open mind regardless of my prejudice ( Read more... )

I miss the days when I would switch on HBO late night when I couldn't sleep. I've found some of my favorite horror movies that way. This movie was very reminiscent of those ( Read more... )
