This movie should have been called Vampires on a Plane. It could have also benefited from some Samuel L. Jackson. Nadja and her son, Elias, board a long flight from Europe to New York when the plane is hijacked for some elaborate theft or something. The mother is actually a vampire that goes full savage when she can't take her vampire-suppression medicine. Anyone she…

Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. “Expert” analysis by paradroid. Back with another edition of our NFL power rankings! How about them Raiders?!? First, the elephant in the room: "Chucky" Gruden resigned after the investigation into WFT's workplace culture issues (which resulted in a $10 million dollar fine and owner Daniel Snyder to step down from his day-to-day role for the…
This is a remake of the 1981 slasher of the same name, except this one is in 3D! Things come out of the screen at your face even when you don't have 3D glasses, which you shouldn't wear, because they make you look like an idiot. After a mining accident, the lone survivor, Harry Warden, wakes up from a coma and goes on a…
If you like the horror comedy genre, this one is a lot of fun. It's like Last Action Hero meets Friday the 13th with jokes and gags thrown in. Max (Taissa Farmiga) and her group of friends go to a Camp Blood movie double-feature and are magically transported inside the movie when trying to escape a theater fire. More than seeing the film from…
I will be honest. I don't know what the hell was going on in this movie. It's like the Pulp Fiction of horror movies, but I just couldn't keep the non-linear story straight. Maybe I need to watch the American remake with Buffy, so that it's dumbed down for my stupid American brain. Rika is the main character who is sent to take care…
Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. “Expert” analysis by paradroid. The unexpected has happened in the NLCS: the Braves, only here because everybody else in the division was worse, a team whose record was under .500 before game #110 (L.A. was at 65-44 at this point, but were about to reel off 16 wins in their next 19 games), a team…

They travel there to stay at the castle while they figure out what to do with it. It turns out there is a scary freak monster that lives in the dungeon under the castle. The father of the family is played…
It was 1980 and along came Sean S. Cunningham to revolutionize the horror genre and really cement slasher movies for the following decade. At the time, it was shocking and graphic, and surprisingly well done for a budget of $550k. The story is simple: it's summer camp time and the camp counselors of Camp Crystal Lake get more than they bargained for as they…
