Starkweather
This film is based on the true story of Charlie Starkweather and his girlfriend who were two fucked up individuals who went on a killing spree though Nebraska and Wyoming in 1958. Now Starkweather did all the killing himself while his 14 year old girlfriend loved the...
Star Force
Despite being a low budget production, Star Force is not what I would call an epic Sci-fi film. Star Force has some decent special effect, very similar to the effects process used in the 70's to make Star Wars, however their was some CGI in this film that was not all...
Stan Helsing
Horror and comedy rarely mix well. Usually, in order for one to work, the film needs to be a full-blown comedy first with elements of horror to make it effective. Usually, in a full film that would be considered more horror than comedy yet has comedic elements, it...
Stag Night
Cases involving people going missing have increased sixfold in the past 25 years. It is said that at least 100,000 people a year go missing in New York City. Most missing person’s cases are the results of accidental death, suicides, kidnappings and murders. In most...
Stacy
Naoyuki Tomomatsu’s Stacy, based on Kenji Otsuki’s novel as adapted by Chisato Oogawara, is a tongue-in-cheek apocalyptic tale posing as social criticism. However, amid all of the genre referencing and subplots, Tomomatsu’s narrative loses focus as its unbalanced...
Squirm
The longevity of Jeff Lieberman’s Squirm has been largely due to its unjust classification as a cult classic. Granted, the production is very poorly made yet it does not find its proper niche alongside Ed Wood’s features or Coleman Francis’s The Beast of Yucca Flats...
The Spiral Staircase
Robert Siodmak’s The Spiral Staircase is an ingeniously constructed suspense thriller which resulted in Ethel Barrymore’s nomination for Best Supporting Actress. The work is a patient, taut, well written old, dark house tale surrounding a serial killer years before...
Spiral
Co-director Adam Green has described his third film as resembling what would happen if “Alfred Hitchcock pulled Woody Allen over and fucked him in the ass”. While that image will stay with all of us for the rest of our days, upon watching SPIRAL, you can see his point...
The Spiderwick Chronicles
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...
Spider-Man 3
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...
Spider-man 2
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...
Speed Demon
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...
Splinter
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...
Spliced (The Wisher)
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...
Splice
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...
