Red Riding Hood
OK 17 Points 2011

Set in a perfectly Grimm medieval village in the woods, this movie explores a new take on the Red Riding Hood fable. Valerie is in love with Peter, her childhood friend the woodcutter, but betrothed to the wealthy Henry – and if that wasn’t stress inducing enough, the entire town, and espec…

Paranormal Acti...
Barely OK 17 Points 2012

Ok, so Paranormal is one of those “boo movie” franchises that just won’t quit, even long after it should have. When I went, many of the seats were occupied by middle-schoolers who wouldn’t stop talking and screaming. Just like them, I knew what was going to happen before it happened; but i…

White Noise 2: ...
OK 17 Points 2007

Lured in by a YouTube link to this free full length movie by an FB post, I had plenty of reservations about seeing a sequel to a movie I never heard of. Well, I got pulled in. It isn’t in line with my viewing history: the plot is hugely implausible. I mean, really, getting the ability to pred…

Hansel & Gretel...
Very Good 17 Points 2013

Why didn’t they think of this before? Instead of just outsmarting and escaping witches, why not chew them up with machine guns, arrows, and samurai-style punches? Well gratuitous action fans, your movie has arrived. Watching the pair of Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton kick some witch-ass was l…

The Conjuring
Great 17 Points 2013

The best horror movies don’t need gimmicks, they just need a really scary story, and The Haunting is a great example of that. Following the Warrens on their spooky adventure to the creepiest house ever to uncover the mystery was just such a story. Yes, it does have a healthy dose of scare you o…

Deliver Us from...
OK 17 Points 2014

Deliver Us from Evil should have been “Deliver us from this theater”…….. Ok, that was a bit too harsh. The movie was Ok, but if you are expecting any kind of top notch horror, well, don’t hold your breath. Without any understandable explanation behind why some marines turned creepy and infec…

Good 17 Points 2015

An interesting re-telling of the famous Frankenstein story, featuring James McAvoy as the mad scientist plus a big focus on his side-kick Igor (Daniel Radcliffe – what, no hump!?) and his love interest (Jessica Findlay). It’s a fresh twist on things that keeps the story interesting and provide…

The Babadook
OK 17 Points 2014

Too fairy-tale-ish to be bone-chilling scary, but Babadook does a good job with its story-line about a monster obsessed son of a single mom, who eventually herself is convinced of the evil her son sees. Plenty of edge-of-your-seat moments for the horror fan, but as mentioned, nothing blood curdl…

Morgan
Good 17 Points 2016

Another film in a relatively recent slate of movies about artificial humanoids, Morgan focuses on the potential dangers of crafting beings for more than mundane purposes. The movie keeps you in suspense and even has decent twists to a good story line. Good enough even to get you past the ever-an…

The Witch
OK 17 Points 2015

The acting is great, and Anya Taylor-Joy sure is cute, but there isn’t enough “there there” to save The Witch. What is supposed to be a scary witch-flick set where it is supposed to be: creepy dark woods in 1700’s new England, the movie just ends up being too slow and meandering, with a climax…
