Fantasy films based on children's books are becoming a big thing these days. With the success of the HARRY POTTERbooks and films, turning fantasy books into films has become a risk that studios have been willing to take. If you think about it over the past few years...

Greed, anger, revenge, love & forgiveness are what sum up this third installment into Sam Raimi's Spider- Man franchise. However like the first two films, this film, however good is the weakest entry into the franchise. Peter Parker/Spider-man is on top of the...

Probably the best, most well developed Super hero film ever made. Spider-man 2 has all the greatness that every superhero film should have and then some. The story picks up two years after the first film, Peter Parker is still Spider-man fighting crime in NYC and so...

Remember that movie with Charlie Sheen called "The Wrath" that was the first film that came to mind when I saw this film, however it's not as good as "The Wrath" and well the story is different, slightly. "Speed Demon" is kind of a campy low budget horror film, it's...

As luck would have it, I didn't have to go to the theater to see this one, and no I didn't get a screener . Nope, I used a little device on my television set called "on demand" and by the luck of browsing, I just so happen to come across this film. Lucky me, because...

For some reason I really liked this film, thought it was a cool idea for a movie. Like any straight to video film it has it's flaws but this one was fun to watch. The film was originally titled "The Wisher", Which I have to say was a better title than "Spliced", don't...

No prizes for guessing the key inspirations for the most intelligent horror movie of the summer. The prominent use of character names Elsa & Clive, the contemporary mad-science that dominates the story and the moment in which leading lady Sarah Polley utters the...

A likeable 80’s slasher pastiche that’s not broad enough to be an outright horror spoof but has an affectionately jaunty tone similar to the low-budget CAMP SLAUGHTER from a few years ago. It’s nicely acted and easy to watch, though the narrative peters out with an...

Donnie Darko was the first film that director Richard Kelly made. The film was not really a big hit in it's limited theatrical release, but became an instant cult classic on DVD among moviegoers, film makers and your normal teenage and college kid. The movie was such...

Director Brad Anderson has quickly made a name for himself. His films The Machinist and Session 9 have been hits with not only horror fans but with critics and moviegoers as well. Sounds Like is Anderson's contribution to the Masters of Horror series, and to be honest...

Call it celluloid martyrdom if you will, but just remember kids, we do it so you don’t have to . . . As a film critic, one accepts the fact that cinematic torture is an occasional occupational hazard. One can only hope that such instances will be brief and fleeting...

In all due respect, "Sorum" is a very well made film. The filmmaking is brilliant, the acting is great and everything about the film is good. It's top notch filmmaking in all it's glory and I'm sure anyone who has a deep apperception for Asian cinema will really fall...

Mark Rosman’s THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW was a very decent 1983 slasher movie : gruesome in the right places, with a strong final girl, efficient suspense scenes and a pleasingly surrealistic finale. It’s not a classic, nor (until later this year) has it ever had a...

Clayton Boone: What were some of your movies? James Whale: This and that. The only ones you maybe have heard of are the “Frankenstein” pictures. Boon: Really? “Frankenstein” and “Bride of” and “Son of” and all the rest? Whale: I made only the first two. The others...

Director Robert Siodmak and his brother, Curt, come together to create a highly imaginative retelling of Dracula as they issue a protagonist with ulterior motives which catches even the famed Count off guard. However, the film suffers due to a dose of nationalism, too...
