Remakes are a funny thing. We complain and complain, but they just don’t stop coming. I’m starting to stop caring, because now a good movie is a good movie, so whatever. Evil Dead was announced and of course I went through the usual rollercoast...

The moment this film ended, I was speechless. This film was a wonderful surprise that honestly came out of nowhere. From the trailers and the cover art, I was expecting just a basic cute romantic comedy about two unlikely people who find love ag...

What Christopher Nolan did for superhero and comic book movies, has changed cinema forever. His Dark Knight trilogy is just plain epic. Batman Begins was a fantastic beginning and The Dark Knight was a masterpiece of epic proportions. Now here ...

To prepare myself for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, I re-watched both BATMAN BEGINS and THE DARK KNIGHT. I hadn’t seen BATMAN BEGINS since it was in theatres, and I loved it even more now that I’m older (I was 15 when it came out I think). If that movi...

Everyone knows the story of Bruce Wayne and his superhero alter ego, Batman. One could argue that Batman is one of the most famous, if not the most famous, superheroes to ever exist. He is a dark avenger who protects the citizens of Gotham. He ...

To be honest, I was not exactly “pumped” for this film. The marketing didn’t do much for me and the truth is, this was just too soon since Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy. I needed another five years at LEAST before they re-booted the franchise. But...

Saved! is a personal favourite of mine. In a weird way this movie has a special place for me because this came out around the same time I came out of the closet. I was only fourteen when this movie was released (2004 to be exact) and to see the ...

Ridley Scott blew up the Sci-Fi genre with his horror masterpiece Alien. He changed horror and science fiction forever with that movie and introduced us to one of the greatest fictional characters of all time, Ellen Ripley. In 1986, James Camero...

To say I’m a fan of Alexandre Aja would be an understatement! In my opinion he is one of the best, if not the best, names working in the horror genre today having done High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes, and Piranha 3D. Piranha 3D was an absolute...

I first saw Cherry Falls when I was around ten or eleven. If was on television and I loved it. I bought the VHS and I watched it countless times, along with my Scream VHS. These were two of my favourite films growing up. When I made the switch...

The Innkeepers is a spooky old-school film directed by Ti West, who did the great The House of the Devil. The Innkeepers is a great follow-up to House of the Devil. Just like that film, The Innkeepers is a slow-moving film with few locations and...

Hick kind of came out of nowhere and seeing that trailer gained my interest. It looked fascinating and the trailer made the subject matter look interesting. Now that I have finally seen Hick, which is playing on VOD, I have to say that Hick was ...

I won't lie, when I first heard of the film and when I first saw the trailer, I didn't think much of it. I just expected a silly small action film but taped through a camera. I'm not a huge fan of the found footage kind of movie (unless it is ca...

Let me start off this review by saying I’ve never seen a Mission: Impossible film before, so I went into this film not knowing much about the character of Ethan Hunt or the actual idea about Mission: Impossible. Now you must be asking yourself: “...

***NO SPOILERS*** If like me you have been grieving the state of today’s horror, at least mainstream horror. I remember a day when Hollywood used to release original horror films. Nowadays we are lucky if we get a sequel and not a remake. So c...

(A review I wrote as a blog back in 2010) The Loved Ones is a movie I have had my eye on all year. It all started when I saw the picture of a lone woman dressed in pink running through a field as the sun rises behind her with a knife in her han...

The trailers for the film were horrendous but then I heard that one song and dug it so I thought maybe I should see the film before I judge it. Plus I read some DECENT things about the film (not great, but I heard it's a fun time-waster)...now wh...

David Fincher has done it again. His new film, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, based off the original Swedish novel and original film, also Swedish, tells the story of Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander. The original film (and the novels as ...

The slasher film is going instinct. It’s sad but true. What was once a thriving sub-genre putting out many of its kind per year, is now almost gone. It has been replaced by torture films and remakes and mockumentary films. It’s a sad, sad life...

Here are with a fifth installment in the long lasting Final Destination franchise. I honestly never thought this would become a franchise, but you know what they say: Money talks and bullshit walks…or something like that, but what the fuck do I k...

It all started with one phone call that lead to the demise of Drew Barrymore in the original SCREAM. The original SCREAM broke new ground and truly re-invented the slasher genre and revived Horror from near death. It was a clever and scary horro...

What an odd "conclusion" to a trilogy. I like it and I don't think it is the shite everyone makes it out to be. I actually enjoy it, but I still prefer the first two. I like the new ideas brought up and the Hollywood setting was VERY clever. The ...

I re-watched this film, and it has grown on me QUITE a bit! I actually have grown to really like this film. Everyone knows that I never hid the fact I used to hate this film. Sidney is still a great heroine and Gale is an AWESOME character and De...

Classic! That is the best word I can use to describe this film. The directing is perfect. Wes Craven really knows how to build suspense and hold tension. The characters are all well developed and REALLY likable. I was REALLY rooting for these cha...

I’ve been staying away from this film like the plague. I’m sick of remakes, yes; but this is one remake that I was more than against. I believe the original NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET to be a masterpiece. It is perfect in every shape and form. Th...

I weep tonight for Wes Craven. He was once a great horror aficionado who was making great films. A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and SCREAM are two of my favorite films. I believe A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984) to be a literal masterpiece and is th...

Another day, another remake - but thankfully today it is a good remake. The original And Soon the Darkness was a well done nifty little thriller about two British women in France. It was a nifty, but very flawed film. This remake places two (se...

Wow. If I could, I'd end my review right there. This is one of the first films I saw starring Marion Cotillard. This is the film that MADE her my favorite actress. Not since Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice have I seen such a perfect performanc...

What do you call a musical with bland singers and lackluster songs? Is it still called a musical? Nine is a case of this. I will admit I’m not the biggest musical fan, but there are some that I adore. I’m not a musical hater. I am in love wit...

Vampires have always been a subgenre of horror I’ve adored ever since I was a kid. They are beautiful, but deep down they are monsters. They live a lonely life full of guilt and pain…and then Twilight happened. Oh how I LOATHE that series. It ...

What a weird movie to review. It's such an uneven movie. I'm sick and tired of this whole remake trend. I want some original horror flicks!!! There's a reason why I'm looking at France for all the horror films these days. Their movies are scary an...

I liked the first Hatchet (8/10) film A LOT! It was a great throwback to the old slasher films of the 80s (aka my favorite subgenre ever!), so I had a BLAST with the film. I will admit the comedy was a little too much though. There were points ...

I've reviewed (and destroyed) both the sequels to this film, but I never actually got around to reviewing the film that started the series from hell, Twilight. Where does this film rank in the scheme of things: honestly, not that bad. As bad a...

I’m going to start off by saying I don’t want to hate the Twilight series. I love romance. I love fantasy and action. I AM a Kristen Stewart fan. I am just trying to say, I am not a Twilight basher. I mean I DO bash the Twilight series, but t...

Another day, another remake. When will this craze END?! I’m sick of them remaking all of my favorite movies. I adore the original Friday the 13th to death. I found it to be a scary and suspenseful well-made movie with characters I cared for. Oh we...

One word: Overrated! Across the Universe is OVERRATED. You have no idea how many people I talk to who find this movie to be amazing, but I’m sorry to disagree. This film is not a masterpiece. I was very disappointed in this film. When I fir...

Color me surprised! I wanted to see this film, but I'm not going to lie I did go in with slightly low expectations. That must not sound like a good start to a review, but DAMN was I surprised by this movie! Usually I'm not a comedy fan. I do l...

I'm going to start off by saying I'm a big Wes Craven fan, but I've never heard of Deadly Friend. When I found it on his resume on IMDB, I was intrigued by the plot. I love horror, and I like a good romance as well. I especially love when they ...

I was supposed to see this film back in February when it first came out. I loved the trailer and I'm a big fan of Adam Green and Shawn Ashmore. When no theatre by me was playing this film I was devastated. So this has been a LONG wait to get to...

I'm gonna start off and say I am NOT a Twilight basher. I have read the book series and hated it and I even saw the first movie expecting shit and was pleasantly surprised. I found the first movie to be an enjoyable and "cute" movie. (6/10). Don't...

I'm not going to lie but i didn't go into this movie with very high hopes. I saw the trailer and thought it looked like a generic action/thriller. It didn't look good to me. But i went and saw it anyway. Color me surprised! I actually ended up r...

This was my one of my most anticipated movies of 2009...and it did NOT disappoint! It was Sam Raimi's return to the horror genre, where i believe he rightfully belongs. I mean come on! Look at his Evil Dead trilogy...AMAZING! I especially love the...

I'm a BIG fan of the original Final Destination (8/10). I found it to be an original movie full of wit and some good suspense and scares and likable characters. I loved it! Then Final Destination 2 (7/10) came around and I liked it. Did I love it?...

I had to review this movie, because it is a personal favorite of mine. It is a very underrated movie. This film is my second favorite film, RIGHT after High Tension. You can probably already guess this will be a rave review...and you're right. It...

I'm going to start this review with this, I'm a huge fan of The House on Sorority Row (1983). It wasn't a perfect movie, but i loved it. When the remake was announced I wasn't devastated but whatever, what can we do?! I actually had high hopes for...

Let me start with saying that this is one of my all time favorite vampire movies. And before you ask, yes I prefer this over the 1931 Dracula film as well. I will have to re watch the original and then review that one as well one day. But this ...

Warning: This review will be mostly gushing! This IS my all time favorite movie. So don't expect too much criticism, if any at all. Now that that is out of the way. I still remember watching this film in 2005 (or was it 2004). I was 14 and ...

I love gore. Let me restate: I love me some BLOODY BLOODY VIOLENCE =D Hell yeah! This film gave us enough gore to satisfy AND then some! =D This was a fun film, nothing more and nothing less and it didn't pretend to be anything else! This f...

(This is my first review, so don't be too harsh=P) Wow! Double Wow! That is how I will start this review. I've read the first three graphic novels of the series, but never finished it, so I don't know if the film stayed really close to the l...
