Our Opinion:
We weren’t expecting this to be a great film but hoped it would surprise us. It didn’t. It remains to be the same tired old story that we saw in the first two movies however progressively worse and boring. It was a very quiet movie and I had nodded off a couple of times. Many scenes were too dark. Just not interesting at all. Save your time on this one.

Rated PG-13, 99 min., 2009

Our Opinion:
True horror fans will appreciate this movie because Sam Raimi goes back to his roots with horror mixed with slap-stick comedy. Yes a bit weird but entertaining just the same for those of you who don’t know what we are talking about. This is a very well polished film worth watching a few times. Excellent character development and great writing really take you away with an added dose of special effects. I hope Sam does more of these. See the trailer…

Rated PG-13, 1 hr. 30 min., 2007

Our Opinion:
There is nothing like a good old young lovers in love, especially if one of them just had sex with their dead sister’s boyfriend. We spend the whole movie trying to figure out what happened when Megan’s sister died. It’s a little slow but still had good entertainment value. Production was top notch. This is not a cheapo low budget film. Great sound track!

Our Opinion:
This is a great ghost story with a supurb back story. I could see a prequel being made for this. The characters were OK but they do not reach the level of say Stir of Echos. Worth watching a second time. The DVD has a lot of extra material about this particular story and its associated crack pots.

Our Opinion:
Don’t waste your time with this one. It was meant for television. I admit I was curious about this movie only because of the title and the cover art. Don’t be fooled. This is movie making at its cheapest.

Rated R, 2hrs. 11min., 2006

Our Opinion
Not bad, typical Stephen King fashion. The beginning was great and held out attention especially with ROn Pearlman who did a great job as the evil possessed Sheriff. However, the film gets long and boring towards the end. The movie runs out of gas at the end with very weird cheap effects. Perhaps they should have cut it short to save grace.
