You'll never be able to keep this doll down. This time, they pull out all the stops and deliver a crazy 1.5 hour ride. While it's not anything ground-breaking, I have to give it props for bringing a lot of the previous movie elements together in one and adding some new fresh stuff, too. The main character from the last Chucky movie, Nica, is…
When Stephen King doesn't want to be associated with a sequel to a film based on one of his novels, you've done something wrong. The concept of the pet cemetery/Indian burial ground raising people from the dead is back, and that's about all that's returning from the first movie. This time, a teen named Jeff (Edward Furlong) loses his mother in an electrical accident.…
You know it is going to be good when the first five minutes include death by tanning bed. The movie was originally titled Aerobicide, which is as good, if not better, than Killer Workout. Once the first body is discovered, an inept detective investigates the Rhonda's Work-Out health club. The bodies continue to pile up as the victims do absolutely nothing to fight back against the masked…

Michael Myers (The Shape) is back and so is Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode from the original Halloween movies. This time, the model is late 90s teen horror that all began with Scream. It is definitely one of the best of the series. Laurie Strode has moved on with her life after 20 years have passed since the horrific events of Halloween. She has a teenage…
Here we go again. Another useless sequel to a mostly useless series. There is nothing linked to the MaryLou mythos. Instead, an insane priest goes on a murderous rampage to cleanse the world of sluts and dirty heathens. The characters are supposed to be in high school, yet all the actors appear to be in their 30s. Instead of going to their prom, two…
MaryLou's spirit is back again in this campy horror sequel that no one ever wanted. Alex is a typical high school student who sucks at studying, has a girlfriend, looks like he's 30, and becomes the main pawn for the evil ghost of MaryLou. He has visions of her and then she makes him dispose of bodies with a bumbling musical score to cement…
Welcome to the late 80s. This was one of those video rental boxes I used to look at and wonder what it was like. The title was ridiculous and the box art made it look kind of spooky. The story starts with bad girl MaryLou Maloney's accidental death in the 50s. Flash forward to "present day" when a high school girl, Vicki, becomes possessed…

After a terrible accident involving Ed's son Billy and some city slicker campers driving dirt bikes recklessly, Ed seeks revenge from a backwoods witch. Using the…
