Chernobyl Diaries Review

By: Bryan Montgomery
Rating: 3 out of 10

Horror movies have been on a legitimate upswing over the last few years, a new, revolutionary found-footage fad has begun to take over, with most films finding success (until The Devil Inside ruined all the fun).  It’s only proper that a film comes every now and then that reminds viewers that some horror films should be relegated to the writer’s room and no further.  Unfortunately, Chernobyl Diaries quickly becomes one of those films due to a poor effort on all fronts.

Cabin in the Woods Review

By: Bryan Montgomery
Rating: 8 out of 10 

Well…this one is a bit of a doozy.

Cabin in the Woods mixes all the best pieces of horror lore and then adds in a high degree of unpredictability and sure craziness to create one of the most unique and entertaining film experiences of the year.

The Thing (2011)

Lawrence Foster

Rating 6.5 out of 10

I have to start this review in a very embarrassing way: I didn’t watched John Carpenter’s The Thing until after watching the prequel of the same name.

I am ashamed.

That being said, I am kind of glad that I watched it that way because I wasn’t as disappointed with the 2011 version as many people who had watched and loved the 1982 version first were.

The main problem with the prequel is that it has to live up to the ridiculously high standard that Carpenter’s masterpiece set back in 1982 and that isn’t fair to do to any movie. As a standalone film, The Thing prequel (TTP) is an enjoyable movie that doesn’t redefine the creature-horror genre, but is fun nonetheless.

When compared to it’s big brother, however, is when all of the blemishes come to the forefront. Read More…

The Thing Review

By: Bryan Montgomery
Rating: 6.5 out of 10

One of the cornerstones of the 1950s emergence of the monster movie was The Thing.  The film was remade in 1982 by John Carpenter, and is widely seen as one of the best films of the era.  As is customary in Hollywood over the last ten years, The Thing has now been re-booted as a prequel to the Carpenter classic for a modern audience in a mediocre adaptation.  Although it provides more than a few scares and thrills, The Thing fails to produce anything that will stick for more than one viewing.

Dream House Review

By: Lawrence Foster
Rating: 4 out of 10

Heading into Dream House (DH) I had high expectations for the film, mainly because it featured Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts and Rachel Weisz.

Ninety minutes later, however, I left the theater wishing I had watched 50/50 instead.

Dream House isn’t terrible, but the final 20 minutes of the film completely ruin a great foundation.

Paranormal Activity 2 Review

By: Bryan Montgomery (www.twitter.com/bcmontgomery)
Rating: 8 out of 10


The first Paranormal Activity was one of the most successful movies in history, making millions of dollars with a five, figure budget.  Usually, a movie like that attempts to create a sequel, only to watch it completely fall apart (like The Blair Witch Project’s terrible sequel and box office bomb).  However, surprisingly, this is not the case with Paranormal Activity 2.  Much scarier and better than the first, Paranormal Activity 2 will be a great experience for fans of the first movie and new fans due to it’s thrills, laughs, and pure fun.

Countdown to THE FINAL CHAPTER: Saw IV

Continuing the interesting and seemingly never-ending plot line seen in Saw III, Saw IV was another one of the series that focused on plot line rather than the gore and violence that was seen in the first three movies.  Here are the traps from Saw IV:

Countdown to THE FINAL CHAPTER: Saw III

Saw III is where the series took a turn for the better…or worse.  Expanding the storyline seen in the first two to add multiple plot lines, the reviews for Saw III were mixed, but it is the highest grossing home release of the entire saga. You should know the drill, so here are the traps (Click on the link for the YouTube Video):
