RINGS Director: F. Javier Gutiérrez Starring: Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz, Alex Roe, Johnny Galecki, Vincent D’Onofrio, Bonnie Morgan , Aimee Teegarden I’d like to think that I pay close enough attention to pop culture, specifically film, to know what is trendy and popular. I don’t remember reading or hearing about a move to keep making additional entries in The Ring franchise. The first film was released in 2002 and was a remake of a Japanese film. It spawned a sequel in 2005, and somehow now we have a follow-up sequel. It isn’t necessarily a reboot as it acknowledges there is a past to this story.Read More →

THE CONJURING 2 Director: James Wan Starring: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Frances O’Connor, Madison Wolfe, Franka Potente, Lauren Esposito I love a good scary movie and director James Wan is no stranger at delivering a thrilling scare to his audiences. He directed the first film as well as Saw and Insidious to name a few. He is back along with stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga for another look into the case files of Ed and Lorraine Warren. After the Warrens’ work on the Amityville horror house, they had vowed to take a break. Lorraine is a clairvoyant and their work was thrust into theRead More →

GREEN ROOM Writer/Director: Jeremy Saulnier Starring: Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots, Alia Shawkat, Patrick Stewart, Macon Blair I get the impression that Patrick Stewart doesn’t take himself too seriously, which is something I really admire about him. He’s a classically trained actor who has tackled everything from Shakespeare, Star Trek: The Next Generation, X-Men, and raunchy comedies in between. Check out his episode of Ricky Gervais’ Extras if you need a good laugh. Now he’s going rogue by appearing in the gruesome horror film, Green Room from director Jeremy Saulnier (Blue Ruin). A group of young musicians called the Ain’t Rights, led by Anton Yelchin (StarRead More →

TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL (2011) Director: Eli Craig Starring: Tyler Labine, Alan Tudyk, Katrina Bowden, Jesse Moss It can be refreshing to add a little bit of comedy into your horror flicks. If you like films like Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland, you will get a kick out of Tucker & Dale Vs Evil. Tucker (Tudyk) and Dale (Labine) are two simple guys headed up to a cabin to do some fishing. Their innocence and stupidity leads to a stream of unfortunate events. To start, their unkempt hillbilly appearance at a gas station scares off a group of college friends going to theirRead More →

THE VISIT Writer/Director: M. Night Shyamalan Starring: Olivia DeJonge, Ed Oxenbould, Deanna Dunagan, Peter McRobbie, Kathryn Hahn M. Night Shyamalan is back and returning to his horror roots with The Visit. He uses a found footage/documentary style approach about two young kids, Becca (DeJonge) and Tyler (Oxenbould), who go and visit their grandparents for the weekend. Their mom (Hahn) stopped talking to her parents many years ago, so this is the first time the kids are meeting them. Becca is fifteen and an aspiring filmmaker who is documenting their whole week away. Tyler helps out but would rather rap and ham it up for theRead More →
