Hans Horn sequel to Chris Kentis’s sleeper hit, Open Water, is a film which battles with itself, positing diametrically-opposed scenarios and sentiments while doing so in an equally perplexing technical manner. What remains is a cinematic dilution which leaves its...

Well first I'd like to go on the record as saying that "Open Water" is nothing like Jaws. In Jaws we have one big ass shark that's just a killing machine. In "Open Water" it's no just the sharks that are the killers it's the ocean, and everything in it. So if your...

For fear of committing horror sacrilege, Chris Kentis’s Open Water is more terrorizing than Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. This isn’t to say that the former is the better film for it lacks the aesthetic quality of Spielberg’s early masterpiece, but on a psychological level,...

Open House is the Directorial debut of Andrew Paquin, the older brother of actress Anna Paquin, who has a small role in the film. I usually get hesitant about the direct-to-DVD horror films that Lion Gates put out, mainly because the majority are usually not that...

Producers outnumber cast members in the opening titles of this lamer than lame remake of the 2003 Takashi Miike RINGU-variation - itself based on a novel and sequelised in its native Japan. You expect a movie like this to be peopled with wasted veterans (like Ray...

In the closing chapter of The Omen Trilogy, director Graham Baker brings the figure of Damien back into politics as his ascent to the Throne of Evil draws nearer. However, the film serves as a disappointing conclusion to a potentially thrilling premise atop numerous...

Alright, I know what your all saying. Horror Bob, you actually liked this flick! The answer is yes. I don't give a hoot what the other horror critics said. I actually liked the story. Now I know this film was a remake of a great classic horror film from the 70's, but...

In an attempt to represent what John Moore did in his remake of Richard Donner’s horror masterpiece, The Omen, I offer the following:Just like Moore, I have literally copied my work based on Donner’s film, added nothing, while highlighting all of the arbitrary...

In 1976, Director Richard Donner (Lethal Weapon, Superman, The Goonies) brought to the screen a big-budget, complete with stellar cast, vision of the rise of the Antichrist in a chilling suspense tale reminiscent of Dario Argento’s canon. Based on Hal Lindsey’s 1970...

So far "Oldboy" is the best film I've seen this year. I'm not sure what's going on in South Korea, must be the water or something, but they are producing some great movies over there. I don't even know where to begin with "Oldboy" It's a film with a bit of everything,...

George Cosmatos’s Of Unknown Origin, based on Chauncey G. Parker III’s novel The Visitor, is reportedly Stephen King’s favorite, not horror movie, but film outright. Though a minor film of mention, Cosmatos’s work is indeed well written and acted but is by no means a...

Of all the independent short films and features I've seen; Of Darkness is one of the best I've had the pleasure of viewing. It's funny because most of the independent film I've reviewed always have certain elements that make them fall short of being a good movie. Most...

The cycle of Jack Ketchum movie adaptations runs aground with this sometimes shockingly poor flick adapted by Ketchum himself from his novel sequel to the superior The Off Season. From its gruesome opening discovery, its clear that the Maine-coast-set movie is not...
