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…

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…
Christina is a journalist who wakes up bound in a little hut in Mexico after searching for demons in a remote cave called La Boca. The people who kidnapped her are trying to exorcise a demon out of her that she picked up in the cave. Of course, she doesn't think she is possessed by a demon, at first. But that's what they always…
Bring on the trash. The glorious trash. It's so bad, it's just bad. Beth is a college student with repressed memories about when she was 5 years-old and her brother murdered her family. She has nightmares about some guy stalking her and it turns out the sorority house she lives in was her childhood home. The brother is in a mental asylum, but due…
This is another one where I had no idea what to expect. For the first half of the movie, I'm thinking it's some supernatural entity messing with a family. Boy, was I wrong. Helen Hunt plays Jackie Harper who recently cheated on her husband, Greg, a police detective. This has caused quite a bit of tension and animosity, especially with their teenage son, Connor.…
A mother, Amelia, and her son, Sam, find what appears to be a child's book called Mister Babadook about a monster with a top hat and long claw fingers. Both characters are still dealing with the death of husband/father Oscar on the day Sam was born. Sam has trouble at school and Amelia has increasingly sleepless nights worrying about Sam and the Babadook story.…
Here we go again. Apparently, this one was going to be called 5nal Destination, which makes no fricking sense. What the hell is a Five-nal? Just call it Anal Destination and let's get this party started! Sam (played by punchable face Nicholas D'Agosto) and his work colleagues are on a bus to a company retreat when he has a premonition that the suspension bridge…
From South Korea comes this macabre story about an inept policeman in a small village who must solve a series of strange murders to save his young daughter. It starts out innocently enough as the main character Jong-goo is a small town cop who is comically bad at his job and severely unprepared for what is about to unfold. After some unexplained murders, Jong-goo's…
The original concept of Final Destination in 2000 was something new in the teen horror sub genre that started with Scream in 1996. The premise was simple enough: a high school kid on a plane has a premonition about the plane's fiery fate and all the people who exit the plane are then marked for death. Something something, you can't cheat death. Almost a…
