Maximum Overdrive (1986)

Stephen King’s first film a s a director will never be called a classic in the truest sense, but it is somewhat of a cult classic. When you have a film with ACDC doing the soundtrack, you are doing this right. This stars Emilio Estevez, Pat Hingle, and Yeardley Smith (Voice of Lisa Simpson). We […]

Emelie (2015)

This movie sounded like it had untapped potential. A babysitter makes kids do terrible things. So the idea is that this couple, Dan and Joyce, need a replacement babysitter as their usual one, Anna, has other plans that night. So they hire Anna’s friend, Emelie, or at least a girl claiming to be Emelie. We […]

The Secrets of Emily Blair (2015)

This has Colm Meaney and that is the only reason that I am watching it. For a possession style film, this is a little different way, which I approve of. I must admit, if I never see another possession film again, I will be fine with it. Aside from found footage, I think possession style […]

Hayride 2 (2015)

This appears to be a slasher, and I am a sucker for slashers. Unfortunately, this didn’t strike a chord with me, and I am very easy to please with slashers. I couldn’t get behind the characters. I am good with hating characters, finding them silly, or liking them. I just want to give a damn. […]

Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Tim Burton along with an amazing cast doing a great story. Yes, please! Have you ever seen a Tim Burton film? Now add local folklore about an upstate NY town with a hell of a story about a headless horseman, and you are in for a treat. Visually, it’s stunning. This is one of my […]

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)

This is a very popular movie that is a comedic take on films like Wrong Turn, and cabin film slashers. It’s what Shaun of the Dead was for the zombie genre, this is for the cabin in the woods redneck slasher genre. This stars Tyler Labine as Dale, and Alan Tudyk of Firefly fame as […]

Curve (2015)

I came across this movie over the summer, and liked it just enough to deem it re-watchable. I’ll tell you why. We have this chick, Mallory, played by Julianne Hough, and she is on her way to a wedding I think. Anyway, she has a truck problem, and this handsome gentleman happens to be walking […]

Dark Summer (2015)

This has potential, but always a 50/50 proposition with NetFlix horror. At least it’s in English. This teen, Daniel, is sentenced to house arrest with the ankle bracelet because he was hacking into Mona Wilson’s accounts, but could never get into her cloud. He is not to have any internet access, but his friends, Abby […]

Para Elisa (2012)

This sounded decent enough, and it was foreign, so why not? Also, it kinda sounds like paralyzer. This is a simple plot. College girl, Ana, can’t get money from her parents to go on a trip so she is forced to get a job. Oh the horror of it all. Her drug dealer/boyfriend makes a […]
