  • Return to House on Haunted Hill 2007

    ★★½ Watched 17 May, 2013

    Unoriginal story with stereotypical characters, but decent make-up, Jeffrey Combs (though not in a speaking role) and ok CGI.

    Just what I was expecting.

  • The Ruins 2008

    ★★★ Watched 14 May, 2013

    For as much time as they take to set up the characters and get the plot rolling, I wish I cared more about these people. I'll give it points for the gore and plot, but this could've been great instead of subpar.

  • Deadgirl 2008

    ★★★★ Rewatched 24 Jul, 2012 4

    I've seen this film about four times, and according to most people, that's 3 1/2 times too many.

    I know why I really enjoy this film and why most others don't as well. The premise is original and the characters were great. Though Shiloh is not the best actor, Noah stole the show and plays an engaging anti-villan.

    I assume most of the audience can't get past that these guys are using a dangerous, insane naked chick for sex. BUT if you can stomach that, the way they display carnal urges is interesting, in my opinion.

    A nice, new rape-revenge movie of the new age.

  • The Sentinel 1977

    ★★★★½ Watched 21 Jul, 2012 6

    A great little gem of a film. I hadn't heard of it before until it was recommended to me. I am not a fan of 70's horror/gore due to terrible effects and acting, but this really worked! The gore was frightening and the characters were engaging. I really enjoyed this flick.
