This is one of those movies that starts simple, becomes mysterious, then rapidly moves into WTF territory. The more you peel back the layers, the more interesting it gets. It seemed like the marketing made it out to be a slasher flick on a boat, but it's not at all that. The premise involves a girl named Jess (Melissa George) who goes on a…

This remake of the 1985 classic vampire movie of the same name has some interesting updates and delicious performances. It's a little bit smart, a smidgen witty, and mostly fun. Anton Yelchin plays Charley Brewster a high school kid who is man enough to wear puce-colored designer sneakers. He lives with his single mother Toni Collette in a suburban community outside Las Vegas. After…

This is a movie like no other. It's a sequel with virtually nothing to do with the first one other that people turning into plants. There are no trolls, only goblins. The acting is some of the worst I've ever seen, or maybe it's just the dialog the actors have been given. Nothing really makes any sense. As the story begins, we find a…

They need to stop making these movies. Seriously. It's the same crap over and over. The murder games start up again and everyone thinks dead Jigsaw/John Kramer is behind it. Due to some clever jumping around in time it is revealed that the true killer is a copycat of Jigsaw attempting to recreate the first death games that were never discovered by the police.…

The Office's John Krasinski co-writes, directs, and stars in this fascinating horror tale with a unique twist.

Who is the most frightening horror movie villain? Freddy Krueger? Nah. Jason Voorhees? No way. Michael Myers? Shaa--as if! It's actually a group of well-organized neo-Nazis. This has got to be one of the most brutal and intense movies I've seen in recent years. I heard it was extreme, but I was not prepared. A punk rock band is on the road living out…

I had higher hopes for this one than I probably should have. The weird thing is that I usually enjoy slow building, atmospheric movies a lot. The plot was both mysterious and intricate. The main story follows two girls at a Catholic boarding school before a holiday break. One girl struggling with the possibility of being pregnant and delays her parents' pickup by telling…
