Troll 2 (1990)

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…

Green Room (2016)

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…

The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2017)

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…

When I watched it, I was amazed at the execution of such a simple concept and how it was both satisfying and unsettling. The basic premise is 5 people trapped inside some sort of massive Rubik's Cube from hell. They…
