Dead Girl
Posted by: | CommentsStar Rating: 4
Description:
After skipping school, Rickie (Shiloh Fernandez) and JT (Noah Segan) break into the boiler room of a deserted mental hospital, then make a shocking discovery: the plastic-covered naked body of a woman lying on a gurney. When they realize that the woman may be alive, JT shocks Rickie by suggesting they take advantage of her. But all is not as it seems in this dark thriller: The door to the boiler room had been rusted shut for years.
Rated R, 1 hr. 41 min., 2008
Our Opinion:
Yep, they went over the line and get to be placed in our “Disturbing” category. You will probably want to take a shower after seeing this one. The characters are rich and will have you screaming “Don’t Go There…” While a bit low budget, generally this film is well put together and will keep your attention. The trailer is mild compared to the actual movie. I’d like to say more but I don’t want to spoil it for you. There are some interesting developments in the last half of the film. See Trailer
The Seamstress
Posted by: | CommentsStar Rating: 1
Description:
A seamstress becomes a horrific spirit, hungry for vengeance after vigilantes torture and kill her — and when a group of young friends are trapped on the island where she died, she comes after them with her razor-sharp needles. But as one of the friends, Allie (Kailin See), searches for her missing father, she learns a terrible truth about him while her friends begin dying one by one. Lance Henriksen co-stars in this gory spine-chiller.
Rated R, 1 hr. 16 min., 2008
Our Opinion:
This is a really badly made movie. Do not waste your time with it. In fact, run screaming…
Silent Hill
Posted by: | CommentsStar Rating: 5
Description:
Now, Rose is in the deserted town of Silent Hill, where her daughter mysteriously disappears and she’s left to search for her child in a world of darkness and shadow. Determined to save her terminally ill daughter (Jodelle Ferland) from death, Rose (Radha Mitchell) ignores the wishes of her husband and takes her to a faith healer. But her well-intentioned efforts somehow land them in an alternate reality.
Rated R, 2 hr. 5 min., 2006
Our Opinion:
What is scary about this movie is the strange atmosphere and weird creepy monsters that come out from hell. Wild and surreal, this is a very visual movie that will take you on a long ride. And remember, in the eyes of a child, mother is god.
The Dark
Posted by: | CommentsStar Rating: 5
Description:
Adelle (Maria Bello) heads to Wales with daughter Sarah (Sophie Stuckey) to reconnect with her husband, James (Sean Bean) with the intent on fixing her marriage. Just days after the family moves into a farmhouse, Sarah is swept out to sea. As James searches for Sarah’s body, Adelle begins to feel that her daughter is still alive. When a strange girl who supposedly died 60 years ago shows up, Adelle sets out to uncover the mystery and find Sarah. With Welsh mythology mixed in, not to mention subplots involving a psychotic shepherd who gets into trepannation, and a local sheep population afflicted with a suicide-inducing virus, Dark contains appealing medieval imagery, and its contemporary take on pagan self-sacrifice is sick and cultish rather than sexy and natural. Dark can at least be applauded for entering some intriguingly creepy territory.
Rated R, 1 hr. 33 min., 2004
Our Opinion:
I got this one on a lark, not seeing any trailers. It is surprisingly a good old creepy ghost story. According to old Welsh religion, you can exchange one life to get back one from the land of the dead. You will learn what treppaning is in this movie so you will come away with something new. Watch it with the lights out.
Jeepers Creepers
Posted by: | CommentsStar Rating: 5
Description:
When the bickering siblings witness a creepy truck driver tossing body bags into a sewer near an abandoned church, they investigate. Bad move! A college-age brother and sister (Justin Long and Gina Philips) get more than they bargained for on their road trip home from spring break. Opening a Pandora’s Box of unspeakable evil, the pair must flee for their lives — with a monstrous “shape” in hot pursuit.
Rated R, 1 hr. 30 min., 2001
Our Opinion:
This is the type of horror movie that I like. They spend a lot of time getting you into the characters, however, still this strange creature-man has no explanation, but our characters have to deal with him and we are right there with them. Easy to like and see again. It would be no surprise if a sequel comes out.
The Ring
Posted by: | CommentsStar Rating: 5
Description:
Newspaper reporter Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) was naturally skeptical of the story. It sounded like just another urban legend: a videotape filled with nightmarish images, leading to a phone call foretelling the viewer’s death in exactly 7 days. That was until four teens died mysteriously one week after watching such a tape. Curious, Rachel tracks down the video and watches it … and now, she has just 7 days to unravel the mystery of the “Ring.”
Rated PG-13, 1 hr. 55 min., 2002
Our Opinion:
Originally an adaptation of a Japanese horror film called Ringu. This is an excellent movie. It was interesting learning about Samara who never sleeps and drives her mother and the horses crazy. Disturbing images are projected on this video tape that when people see it they get the call that they only have 7 days left before they die. The tape and the water is not believable but they are elements that make up the language of this film. The good horror is coming out of Japan.
100 Feet
Posted by: | CommentsStar Rating: 3
Description:
Marnie (Famke Janssen) returns to New York to serve the remainder of her manslaughter sentence under house arrest because she killed her abusive cop husband, Mike (Michael Paré),. But Mike’s vengeful ghost isn’t done taunting her in this gripping supernatural thriller. Meanwhile, Mike’s ex-partner (Bobby Cannavale) keeps close tabs on Marnie, who must wear an ankle bracelet that doesn’t allow her to escape — let alone move past a 100-foot radius.
Rated R, 1 hr. 45 min., 2008
Our Opinion:
This is a surprisingly good movie. I only gave it 3 stars, but for something different I recommend it. I almost would not have seen this if I hadn’t dug deep in the on demand files on NetFlix. It must have been a sleeper, never heard of it. Famke brings the main character to life, you will recognizer her from other movies like X-Men and of course our fav House on Haunted Hill. They did a great job with the ghost and the story is unique.
End of the Line
Posted by: | CommentsStar Rating: 3
Description:
The captives fight back, but can their feeble resistance stand up to the demonic powers that are hunting them down? When her subway train grinds to a halt during her evening commute, psychiatric nurse Karen (Ilona Elkin) and the other passengers become the trapped targets of an apocalyptic religious cult bent on sacrificing them all in the name of their strange god. Maurice Devereaux directs this gruesome horror flick. Nicolas Wright co-stars.
Rated R, 1 hr. 35 min., 2007
Our Opinion:
I would almost give this one 4 stars because it felt original, but my rule is that in order to get a 4 star rating I would want to see it again. I do recommend it though. They combine crazy religious zealots with a zombie type of group killing spree all in the name of the apocalypse. There are some subtle details in the story line that I found intriguing.
House On Haunted Hill
Posted by: | Comments
Description:
Tycoon Steven Price (Geoffrey Rush) offers a $1 million proposal to stay one night in a former insane asylum. Eddie (Taye Diggs), Melissa (Bridgette Wilson), Sara (Ali Larter), Donald (Peter Gallagher) and Watson (Chris Kattan) think it’s child’s play until Price’s rigged antics are accompanied by real menacing spirits. Can everyone make it till dawn and win the prize money? Famke Janssen co-stars as Price’s haughty wife, Evelyn.
Rated R, 1 hr. 33 min., 1999
Our Opinion:
This is a fun horror movie to watch over and over again. It has a nice rythm to it and it was very well produced. This movie actually follows the orginal 1959 version starring Vincent Price. All the characters are rich. Chris Kattan was very amusing. If you get the chance, view the extra features on the DVD. I highly recommend this film.
Dead Silence

See movie trailer
Description:
Amber Valletta and Donnie Wahlberg co-star in this chilling horror offering from James Wan and Leigh Whannell, the same team that created the grizzly Saw trilogy. In the wake of his young bride’s mysterious death, grieving newlywed Jamie Ashen (Ryan Kwanten) is forced to return to his haunted hometown, where he butts heads with the ghost of a creepy ventriloquist who was infamously murdered years ago.
Rated R, 1 hr. 30 min., 2007
Our Opinion:
This one will make you say WOW! There have been ventriloquist movies in the past and they were boring. These guys did an excellent job on this one. You will want to watch this one again. The movies’ background music is very creepy and really delivers the overall chill for a scary movie. The twist at the end I thought was good. I read a lot of reviews that were very critical about this movie. My gosh this is a real gem compared to a lot of the others out there.
