FUCK That's it. That's all I've got — most of what I've got. A meditation on grief that wraps a loss up in horror, depression, isolation and suicidal ideation. Is any of this real? How could someone you loved disappear so abruptly, violently and leave on...

I can see why this was originally sequenced as a miniseries — it's overlong when presented as a movie. Anchored by Lowe's sober and staid performance as Ben Mears it's perfectly watchable but not outstanding (the rest of the cast is fantastic — Braughe...

You never know when you'll be trapped in a haunted hotel hoping — desperately — that Yahoo! messenger connects so you can make one last video call for help. "It's not my code! Your computer's haunted!" Movies like this — with a character trapped (alm...

An outstanding directorial debut for Zoë Kravitz. The whole thing plays out as a fever dream that oscillates between abject horror, social commentary and free flowing debauchery. So many movies overplay their attempts at social commentary and end up worse...

A subdued thriller with a few twists, turns and a standout performance by Dakota Fanning. It's not perfect, but it is a solid and entertaining journey. I'm curious to see what Ishana Shyamalan does next.

Slow to get moving and slower yet to unveil itself, but the payoff is worth it. It's very much a lesson in the abject terror of being different from everyone around you and threatened because of that difference. It's a solid cast, a fun watch and not at al...

A tense thriller that feels right at home in the early 2000s. It's perfectly cast and Ted Levine voices Rusty Nail exceptionally well. It's a fun watch, minimally gruesome and the kind of popcorn movie I'd happily throw on again.

A bleak film in which the true horror is what people will do in the face of unseen threats and desperate circumstances.

If movies could be summed up by associating them with a color this one would be a dull gray. The whole thing is drab. The performances are flat, the plot is tiresome and as much as you'd hope that an otherwise talented cast could buoy this thing, it just s...

Unfortunately, this one really wasn't all that fun and it certainly wasn't great. It was decent. I love a good riff on Rear Window (see Disturbia ) but Summer of 84 was fairly mediocre throughout. The cast did a decent job, but the story was predictable an...
